sure or not no sun visors...? what "car" is that...?

 

[Hikaru]

I think most of the car today all comes with Sun Visor, the only thing optional is the door visor which alvon is refering to I guess.

EK3 normally comes with D15B 3 stage vtec

quite a powerful engine......given the right mods to it

what about the auto version? is it SOHC? how much to convert to manual?

Anyone can tell me what is ASAHI viper etc...newbie here :>

 

[amdfaisal]

asahi is the oem brand of the windscreen front and rear as well as the windowpanes.

It's not quite right by judging that since some top model of the JDM EK also comes with chrome mouldings.
