Ruben Rivera's 1991 Honda Civic Si - The Foundation
Originally intended by many as a grocery getter or perhaps an economical family car that could be passed down, Ruben Rivera's 1991 Civic Si decided to go in an entirely different direction.The '88-'91 Civic carries some serious weight upon its somewhat boxy yet curiously streamlined shoulders. Originally intended by many as a grocery getter or perhaps an economical family car that could be passed down, this generation of Civics carried on the tradition of being cheap, reliable, and easily obtainable. As the tidal wave of import street racing crashed upon the clone-like business parks of Southern California, a Honda presence seemed to be increasing more than any other make. Being the cheapest of Honda's fleet, the Civic dominated the number of H-badged street warriors and a reputation for being quick and nimble was soon earned. Almost 20 years and a number of changes later, the EF chassis is still known as the foundation that the modern age of Honda tuning was based upon. Though just about every possible persona has been slapped onto the Civic chassis, including 9-second drag monsters and lowriders, it continues to carry a bit of tradition and old-school honor. Admittedly though, these days it's tough to find a well-rounded build like Ruben Rivera's.
