PennSilverTaco's non-Toyota Japanese (and Korean) vehicle Rant/Rave MegaThread!

Stumbled across this thread and thought I should share. I've owned the Civic for 16 years and the S2000 for 8




Edit* Don't forget about the mower!

these pics make me miss my old s2000. Prices have been too insane to get back into another one.

 

clean EF btw. I had a 94 civic in the same color. Aztec green pearl?

I have a Fit that is kind of similar in color and simplicity that reminds me of Honda’s of the 90s vintage. I have a full MUGEN lip kit that needs to be painted and put on but too many projects and unfortunately not enough funds to do everything I want.

 

Thank you! Azetc green pearl was the DA integra color, this one is Tahitian green pearl

 

wow, just looked it up. I guess 93-94 civics used Aztec but the colors look very similar. Didn’t know that!

 

There was one more called Arcadia Green pearl. I had a 93 accord in that color

 

My 2008 Honda Pilot has been running strong for 190K miles no major issues, besides a transmission problem at 130K fixed for 700 and a new starter last year for 300 bucks. Of course as soon as I put a deposit on a new truck last weekend, the battery not charging light comes on, it's not happy with being replaced! Plan on hijacking my brothers car to pick up a new belt and alternator tomorrow. Just need it to run until the new truck comes in.

Not a cool Honda like y'all have, but I would only buy a Honda or Toyota for a daily as they just last forever!

Doylestown, Pennsylvania

 

Just months after I saw a minty fresh 1986 Hardbody at O'Neil Nissan, I saw this burgundy 1987 model while driving by and stopped for a look...

 

Like the blue 1986 truck, this one does not have A/C, but it is also ridiculously clean inside and out like the 1986!

 

I'd drive it

 

I posted these pics in a Facebook group where I'm an admin, and someone told me that this truck would have retailed for about $6,700 in 1987; The truck has almost 126K miles on it and is in amazing condition, but the dealer is asking $8K!

 

Aside from the early 2000s CD player, this truck is totally stock and about as no-frills as they come!

 

Sweet, love me some old trucks

 

Carbureted 4-banger; Will likely still fire right up after a nuclear blast!

 

Yes, but would pay eight grand for a 34-year old truck with no A/C?

 

The interior of this thing is cleaner than my truck's!

 

No, not so much for that part

 

I'd install a powerful stereo system, A/C, and some alloy wheels, but I really hope that nobody chops up this unmolested gem and turns into a lowrider...
