yo's take The EF9 was the very first Civic chassis to be powered by a B16A VTEC unit, boasting 158bhp. Through its long service, several overhauls were done to keep this old guard working at its tip top condition. -
Aaron's Take To keep the suspension geometry bang on, a payload of handling weaponry was installed to further up the handling ante. Complimenting the Tein HA coilover is a set of MFactory roll centre adjusters, along with customised nylon bushings for the undercarriage and also a customised front traction bar with castor adjustability.
Aaron's Take Hongyao's EF9 sits on 15" Work RSZ-R rims, wearing sticky Bridgestone Potenza RE11 tyres in the profile of 205/50/15, giving it the maximum offset possible without the extension of a widebody to accommodate wider tyres. The Civic EF9 SIR gets its stance from a set of Tein HA coilover (F10kg/R7kg) with adjustable pillowball mounts that allows for spreading of its legs for maximum camber adjustability. — with Hongyao Zhuang.
Ryo's take I swear this wasn't planned beforehand. It was just a moment of dare for Hongyao Zhuang as it was just inches below the trailer. The earlier days of car design was pretty straight forward, making the overall car geometry to be as low to the ground and compact as possible, resulting in having the passengers sit low in the car. It is really a case of 'how low can go you go'.

Ryo's take Spot the similarity between these 2 words. Perhaps the letter 'V' and 'C' were the 'in trend' letters of that decade...
Aaron's Take Although considered as "old-tech" or primitive by rapidly advancing technology, Hongyao has given modern touches to the 4th generation Civic, such as these Spoon Sports 4-piston front calipers, biting down on customised 2-piece rotors. These, coupled with other stopping necessities that include stainless steel braided brake hoses and upgrades from a Honda Civic EK9; such as its rear brake calipers and rotors give the EF9 immense stopping power.
Aaron's Take Back in the days when carburetors and direct fuel injection technology was still a norm, the Civic SIR EF9 represented the top of Honda's Civic lineup. While the lower tier models of the 4th generation Civic were either equipped with only the D-series motors and were SOHC (Single Over Head Cam), the EF9 received at that time, the DOHC (Dual Over Head Cam) B-series motor, along with state-of-the-art fuel injection and what became Honda's ever-popular proprietor technology; VTEC.
