==In-game description==
"A dominating force on the touring car circuit, this 4th generation Civic features the famous ZC engine."
In 1987, the Civic received a full model change, bringing the series into its fourth generation. Often known as the 'Grand Civic' or simply by its model code 'EF'.
The exterior retains the broad strokes of the previous model while adding modern touches to the slightly larger body. One of the largest changes was the overhauled platform which brought with it a new 4-wheel double wishbone suspension setup. The wheelbase was also lengthened significantly, allowing the drivers to enjoy the car's sporty handling with more stability.
The lineup retained the same 4 body variations as before, a 3-door hatchback, a 4-door sedan, and a 5-door shuttle along with the 'Pro' commercial model. Another carryover from the previous generation was the 'Si' sports model featuring 1.6L DOHC inline-4 engines. Additionally, this generation saw the introduction of the 'Si Extra' grade, which added a rich suite of equipment to the Si formula.
The ZC engine received extensive tuning to increase the compression ratio, reduce airflow restriction on intake and exhaust, and reduce piston friction among other improvements. The result was a maximum power output of 128.2 BHP and 14.7 kgfm torque net. The previous 'Wonder Civic' era boasted 133.1BP and 15.5 kgfm however these were gross figures. Net figures are typically 15% less than gross, which means that in actuality the ZC unit was more powerful.
The Si and Si Extra models also saw extensive use in arenas like the Japan Touring Car Championship (JTC). Starting from the 1988 season, the car would receive its first race victory in Round 3 before going on to win the drivers title and manufacturers title. The car would prove its strength one again in the 1989 season where it would take the manufacturers title again.
===Used Car Dealership (GT7)===
Good timing! I just received a stylish hot hatch - a 4th-gen EF Civic Si, also known as the 'Grand Civic'. Civics are often associated with VTEC systems, but this Si is powered by an older ZC engine. This was Honda's first DOHC engine since the S800, which debuted fourteen years prior. Though its 130 horsepower isn't all too astounding, its long-stroke design provides torque at low speeds. Its body is light and compact, and its double-wishbone suspension is sheer perfection. A major-player in touring car races, the Civic was one of the most iconic hot hatches of the 1980s.
