Civic classing

Recommended Posts

When visiting http://www.nasa-tt.com/rules.php and figuring my class, something cought my attention. Under "Honda", "Civic non-VTEC" and "Civic 1988-1995" are classed differently. It would appear to me that both of these cars are in fact the same, or should be in the same class. I have a 92 Civic CX (with a swap, albiet), and am wondering which choice I should use as a starting point. Any help is appreciated.

Based on the current rules, your car would start in base class TTH. I'm working on some changes for the upper classes, and I can look into this also to see what cars fall into the Civic non-VTEC class (I'm guessing there are a few post '95 Civics that didn't have V-tec). You can check with your regional TT director Jim Petroski regarding your specific car also.

The rule reads Honda Civic CX 92-95 (not all Civics), and Civic Base 88-91 that are in TTH base class. So, it looks to me like there are some Civics in those years that are non-Vtec, not base or CX models, that would fall into the TTG* category. I was unable to find any post-95 models that didn't have Vtec engines, but perhaps someone else knows of some.

From 92-95 the Si, EX and VX all had some sort of VTEC motor. The CX, DX and LX did not. All of these motors where SOHC motors.
