EK9: Dynamic Safety Driving VHS cassette & TypeRx special price list

Today I got some rarely-seen goodies from Japan for my EK9 original goods collection:

The first one is a copy of the Japanese Special price list for the Civic EK9 TypeRX from the Honda sales department, from the 25. November 1999:
You will find this in my special TypeRX knowledge post soon with many details of the TypeRX.

The second thing is something I didn’t know existed until I recently stumbled over it. IT’s a Civic TypeR “Dyanamic Safety Driving” Training video on VHS Cassette.

The video was released by Honda Primo (the sales channel who sold the Civics, etc.) in Japan. According to the Print on the front, these were Not for Sale.

So i wonder at which occasion these were given to customers. Maybe during some actual “sports driving” training course for EK9 owners or so?

The video starts with typical cheesy 90ies Japanese graphics.

Aside from a bit of cool EK9 driving footage, the video consists mainly of JTCC (Japan Touring Car Championship) Driver Okada Kiruru showing how to handle the EK9 in sporty conditions safely.

I think the video is filmed on some Honda Test track or one of their tracks, but not exactly sure where exactly.

In Case you want to see the whole video. Somebody was nice enough to digitalize the whole cassette and put it on YouTube. Enjoy 🙂
