'90 Honda Civic EF

The Honda Civic EF is a compact hatchback variant of the EF-chassis Honda Civic, which was part of the Civics fourth generation of production. By time 1987 rolled around, Honda was ready to launch the fourth generation of its widely popular Civic saloon and hatchback. The Hot Wheels casting depicts the SiR (2-door hatchback) version of the Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) model from 1990. The fourth generation of the Honda Civic saw the introduction of the DOHC VTEC (Dual Overhead Cam Valve Lift Timing Electronic Control) engine, which was only available in Japan until 1992 when Honda replaced the Fourth generation Civic. This model depicts an EF9 Civic. The 2019 release of this casting is based on an actual car built and owned by Kenji Sumino of Trust Company Ltd. Kenjis car features a B18C1 Motor and GS-R transmission swap as well as an updated hood, bumper and headlights.
