After J.F., the owner of the car, previously got his Honda Civic Si 1990 stolen on a 1997 summer night, he then needed to find a car and fast. He decided to go on a quest to find the perfect replacement for his previous car, a Honda Civic Si. After several months of searching and giving a hard time to a rented 1997 Cavalier, he finally found THE one, a 1991 Civic Si at a Montreal dealer.
Since this car is stock, those performance numbers are, guess what, the stock ones. Those numbers will probably change in a few months though.
-0 to 100km/h: About 8.9 seconds, relying on our stopwatch. Quite fun to hear the sound of the motor at high RPM, a real zinger.
-Top speed: Around 190km/h.
-Handling: Very good, especially since he changed his tires. He now has some 195 50 R15 Toyo FZ4 on it and it really improved how it handles.
Those are the parts added until this time.
1-15' BBS wheels with 195/55/15 Toyo FZ4 tires
2-Tinted windows
3-Brospeed/Bosal exhaust tip

This is one of the car taken from it's left side.
This is a frontal shot of the car, showing that it needs a minor bumper paint job.
Back of the car shot, with the Bosal exhaust tip.
A shot from a back angle.
Another angle shot, now
from a frontal view.
This is an interior shot of the car, which for a change, is extremely clean.
This one is a view of the RPM counter with the needle in one of it's daily trips to the 7000 RPM range.
And last, a picture of one of the 15' BBS wheels.
Those are different "zipped" sounds from the car.
This is a sound
of the car starting with the exhaust purring like a kitten. Some "throttling"... This is J.F. showing his dedication on driving like a maniac day after day... Another startling start.
