Best info I can find is here: http://world.honda.com/news/1998/4980903.html

Basically, it seems to be one model below the JDM SiR II (which in turn was the next highest performing after the Type R). The Vi-Rs has a three-stage VTEC engine designated D15Z7 as in the Vi, and all the RS seems to mean are the extra aero bits, fancy grill, interior trim and some nice wheels (the standard model has the same wheels as the VTi/Si EM coupes available in some other markets, as you can see from that brochure excerpt).

It also appears to have a sort of performance CVT transmission, which marks it out as being quite different from other performance Civics.

So there you go!

Thanks for the info! I am not quite so baffled now.

R.oad S.ailing.

If only I had thought logically, I would have worked that out in no time!

I just found a recent posting where he shows of their new color...

I'm torn. It may actually look better in black, but I can't remember the last time I've seen a red on red car. I vote red for the uniqueness.

EDIT: Also,

Red on red looks pretty cool actually. Though I think I prefer red on black. And I prefer red on white slightly more than that. I like Integras in general though to be honest. I'm pretty sure they get better looking with age.

And that Element is badass.

Not so keen on the M3 above. It's obviously a well-designed track machine (and look at the size of the front rotors!) but the bolted-on wheelarch and spoiler as high as the roof look doesn't do it for me. I think I'm more of a CLS II man, despite the dubious front bumper.

Meh, I'm still just not big on camber/belly scraping ride heights. Though those cars certainly work better than the one further up. And I've always liked that shade of green on Civics.
 
Dont know if this has been posted, but ran into it while surfing the web... Is it worthy?? I like the rim choice and it doesnt have TOO much tupperware :D

Not so much a fan of the colour, it clashes with the rims to. The actual bodywork it's however I do like, just in need of a paint job.

I agree, the color is strange.... black or a dark blue might have been nicer :D
 
I love the color! Its original and not what everyone else does... Everything doesn't need to be black guys...

You have a point there too :lol: What would you think of championship white with those rims? Could be a winner... or is gold and white to tacky? :)
 
^^ I totally agree, looks like a full CF body.

Even if it wasn't I really like the tone.
Only thing I'd change would be the wheels. BBS LM championship Edition FTW!
That gold is too vivid for the overall car tone.
 
Probably a lot of reposts,but what the heck,they deserve it.

The front splitter and canards are carbon-kevlar and various other bits may be, but all the body panels look like carbon fiber.

Thanks for clearing that up! 👍 I honestly dont see the weave patterns... but I did suspect the front canards to be CF but now I know its not :lol:
 
So much win in a112's post. In particular, the blue Golf, the baby blue Carrera, the red AMG Merc racer, the silver 2002, the black 3.0 coupe, the white/black Manta (I think it is), the Fulvias, the Stratos and the low Fiat 128 Coupe. I'd love to own any of them. If I were to pick just one, the black BMW 3.0 would probably be it:

Gorgeous.
 
Just gorgeous.

WANT!

WANT x10!!!

OMG, a 127! :bowdown:

I learned to drive in one of these when I was 10. Damn, I miss this thing.
My father's was a dark blue one with orange pinstripes, one of the few around with that colour scheme.

I've been searching for years to get one, but the only ones around in decent condition are way too expensive for me. :ouch:



Anyway, something for every taste:
