Apparently there has been at least one imported to North America, the car on that web site has British Columbia Plates on it....

Kurt, this is a Honda Coupe:

Never got them in North America. Maybe one or two were shipped here by private enthusiasts, but not officially.

sdcvcc......go here http://www.1stgencivic.com/upgrades/4x100conversion.htm explains the conversion to 4x100, quite a few have converted over because of the better choices of rims.

What is a Honda Coupe anyway?

Since first gen Preludes have 4x100 how hard would they be to adapt to a first gen Civ.?
Anyone tried?

I have seen Coupe wheels on a Civic once

Don't forget about the Honda Coupe1300 (7 & 9). They were also 4x120

Jeff,

1st gen Civics and Accords are 4 x 120mm. 1st Gen preludes and all subsequent Hondas are 4 x 100.

The ONLY other vehicle known to have 4 x 120 was the late 70's Mazda RX-5 (also released in piston powered form as the 121) however being rear wheel drive, the offset is generally wrong.

Datsun, Toyota etc etc etc wheels WILL NOT FIT.

Tell me what years will work for your cars, and I can pull some parts at the local yards here in San Diego. There are quite a few CVCC Accords and Civics ranging from 75-82+ or something like that.
Not too familiar with cross referencing so be specific. Can hit the yards this next weekend.

I believe that all the CVCC's are 4 speed manny's. I need one too. The problem is the guy is a rip off! The is a 77 CVCC yellow, body damage, missing a door, wheels, interior messed up, etc. I offered him $250 for it. He said no. He wants $650 for it! And he doesn't even know if the tranny and engine work.

By Jonathan (68.193.10.141) on Wednesday, July 07, 2004 - 01:24 pm:

4x114.3mm, I think. It comes out to being 4x4-1/2 inches. Close, but not quite. I'm pretty sure the only wheels that came in 4x120 were 1st gen Civics, Accords until ~'82 and the early Preludes.

What kind of shapre are the CVCC's in in that yard? Any of them 4/5 speeds? Would you be able to pull some shifter parts for me if I need them?

By Jeff Cannon (Cannon) (67.17.191.194) on Wednesday, July 07, 2004 - 01:02 pm:

I went over to the local salvage yard (again) to look over their 3 CVCC's. I came across a set of spoked rims on a 70's Datsun 1200 wagon by Western Wheels. I did not have a tape measure with me to measure the offset and pattern. The bolt holes are more oval shaped then round. I tried everyone on line to find the bolt pattern of a Datsun 1200 but had not luck.

Anyone?
