Apart from the rare B20A powered EX-2.0i this is what Honda decided NZ was gonna have:

They were all A20A powered, and were even less restrivtive than the JDM models so they weren't too slow. They never got a facelift, all models have early JDM style tails. There was the LX and EX, both were shit but the LX was more shit.

I saw one in Christchurch a few years ago, no idea where it was imported from though. Didn't think to check if it was LHD or RHD

[A18A]

:O meeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaan, would be cool if there was a stash of RHD coupes somewere :D unless it was just some people who came over to NZ with their car

[Hash_man_Se_i]

^^ coupes were all made in the US and shipped to japan and other markets, so all were LHD.

so did the RHD hatches have the nifty JDM tails?


i swear i saw a set of JDM hatch tails months ago on e-bay

[A18A]

i read that the jdm hatch tails are no diff to the US ones, but im sure aussie has some cool tinted stock tail lights for hatches

Yeah they do. Vertical amber corners and big squares for brake lights.

The JDM ones have the same design as the Aerodeck tails. I like the USDM design best.
