On this side of the pond, a tricked-out Honda Civic usually means that the engine compartment conceals a K20 engine with a turbo the size of a dragon. Over in the Civic’s home country though, things are obviously a bit different. There are many types (no pun intended) of Civic customization and today we’ll be focusing on the one that caters to the needs of special female owners.
The footage below brings us a pair of Japanese girls who are head over heels into their souped-up Civic, with both being proud to showcase their rides. The footage, which comes from GT Channel, offers us a pretty detailed view of the two cars.
We’ll start with Yayoi Torii since she works for Osaka JDM, the aftermarket developer that delivered some of the goodies fitted to these vehicles. She drives a ’91 Civic EF9 powered by a B16A unit that features a plethora of modifications, such as NSX front brake calipers. Guess you never though a 1991 Civic on 15-inch rims can be this cool...
Naho Okamoto looks just as pleased with her ’97 Civic Ferio, which gets a bit more serious about the technical mods. For one thing, this hatch has gone hot, since it borrows its EK3 engine, as well as its suspension from the Type R.
The owners go on discussing roll cages and mods that would help them track their cars with success. In fact, while the video isn’t a long one, the hard work that has gone into customizing these JDM machines can keep you thinking about them long after Youtube insists you switch to the next clip.
