This mod adds 2 new trim levels for the bottom of the range, because base isn't enough! The Entry trim is a stripped out Japan-only flop with a Covet powertrain, and the HX/Type-E is a fuel efficient good looking cruiser.
In 1991 Ibishu decided to add 2 new trim levels to the already successful BX-Series. This time they weren't new performance versions, instead they focused on the price and running costs. The "Entry" trim was a JDM only model and it was offered only in the Diane. Its main focus was low buying price and cheap insurance thanks to much smaller engine size. It was essentially a stripped Diane Base, it didn't have an airbag, ABS, rear sway bar, hubcaps and was only offered with a 1.5L fuel injected engine taken from the Covet. It was paired to a smooth but very slow 3-speed automatic, but there was also an option for a 5-speed manual which was slightly more expensive. The Diane Entry was a big sales fail as the price was way above the Covet which was a much better option. Production was ended only 5 months after the introduction of this trim, making it one of the rarest versions of the BX-Series ever. The other trim model was much more successful, it was sold in Japan as the Type-E and in North America as the HX. This trim was focused on fuel efficiency. It was fitted with two rear spoilers and straked hubcaps for better aerodynamics. Like the Entry model it used a different engine, this one had a 1.8L fuel injected engine taken from the Pessima. It had enough power for a swift ride while maintaining a great fuel consumption. It was paired to a 5-speed manual with long gears for high speed cruising at low rpm. Unlike the Entry model, the HX/Type-E sold well in both markets.
What this mod adds:
- 5 configurations
- 3-speed automatic transmission
- 1.5L engine (from the Covet)
- 1.8L engine (from the 1988 Pessima)
