The late 1990s marked a golden era for the import tuner scene, particularly in the US, where the Civic EJ1 Coupe quickly became a standout favourite. Rarely seen in our region, this 1994 USDM example has undergone a no-expense-spared restomod—delivering both rarity and refined execution.

Amidst a sea of hatches and sedans, the EJ1 Coupe’s sleek silhouette stands apart. The exterior remains faithful to factory specification, though completely refreshed with new components and complemented by bronze 16-inch CE28 wheels that contrast beautifully against the Championship White finish.

Inside, the cabin has been meticulously restored with a full black JDM interior, featuring tasteful upgrades including a MOMO steering wheel, Recaro SR3 seats, a K-Tuned short shifter, and NSX-R gear knob—striking the perfect balance between form and function.

The highlight lies beneath the bonnet: a fully built K20A engine, enhanced with K-Tuned components and a semi wire-tucked bay for a clean, purposeful aesthetic. Power is delivered through a 6-speed DC5 Type R gearbox, while the chassis is supported by BC ZR coilovers, Hardrace arms, Spoon Monoblock brakes, and more.

A rare and exceptionally executed example—ready to become the crown jewel of any discerning JDM collection.
