Now this would interest the local JDM fanboys. Someone has actually imported in a 1990 Honda CRX SiR from Japan as I have spotted on the local mudah.my website. As it is something from 1990, it is a good 25 years old and qualifies for classic car status as well as the classic car import status too. This is pure Honda VTEC folks. A holy grail aside from owning an NSX.
I love this tiny little sports car. It is 158hp of totally awesome Honda VTEC performance of the purest and most unmolested kind. Hard to find these days as this original beauty comes from the time when it was all horsepower and nothing else. The power from the 1.6liter engine came in at over 5,500rpm and whilst you would actually need to keep the twin cam, variable valve timed engine on song, it was superb when it sang. Or wailed like a Banshee (that's pontianak in local terms). These days the more intelligent VTECs do not have that clear step up in performance and noise like when it was in this second gen CRX.
If you got the dough, a mere RM58,000 for something so light, nimble and fast (it weighs under 1,000kg) do grab this baby. I totally remember being driven in one many times in the mid to late 1990s when a close friend of mine owned one. It was magnificent. Complete with the noise, step up power and actual speed (0-100kmh was at least in the mid 7secs when stock). I think the experience of driving one in 2015 would still be as good as it was in 1995.
This was purity. Normally aspirated, high revving purity. Which is why Mazda built their latest MX-5 in this way. Which is why I did not exactly warm up to the hybrid Honda CRZ all all. It was a poof compared to this predecessor.
Grab this I say. Grab it quick if you can. An unregistered, low mileage (119k km is considered low) JDM classic car is out for sale!!!! Wow!

The only issue is the fact that the car comes with wheels from a ...CRZ. But find a set of period Mugen alloys and it'll be close to perfect.
