Back in highschool you used to see a lot of these CRX's on the parking lot among most of the students "most of them used to go into mechanic class at the time" and let me tell you, these Hondas were amazing along with the EG's and EX ect. When it comes to 90's cars, this one, the Eclipse and the Civic "both versions" and the MR2 are some of my favorite cars from the era.

@bwofficial1776 Год назад

Old Hondas used to be dirt cheap. They were all bought up, "modified", and either wrecked or driven into the ground. Survivors like this are rare.

@mattbolanz1216 Год назад

i have a ‘90 crx sitting in my garage right now. really need to get that thing going again, i miss it

@jefferysmith3930 Год назад

I work at a Honda dealer. I have a customer who is the original owner of a 91 CRX Si. It’s his only car and he still loves it. It’s no garage Queen, but still quite presentable.

@Camo-Dan Год назад

That’s amazing that someone originally owns one. I wish I could get a brand new crx. It would be my favorite car ever. That and a Nissan 370Z.

@Rip84LW Год назад

92 horse power lol crazy to think that back in the day we used to think that was fast. I had a CRX when I was 17. Great car. Right now I’m in a 2022 civic sport touring hatchback in boost blue. Best car.

@SGBassplayer Год назад

I loved these back in the day. They're practically unicorns now (especially if you find one that hasn't been riced out). This is definitely an '80s icon; you could still spec the first couple of years with carburetors, I believe. Can't imagine what finding one of those would be like today.

@rushnerd Год назад

What a classic. I REALLY love the wheels the owner found for this car. EXTREMELY rare to see eight spoke wheels like this because they looks similar to Wanatabes. Very good choice. The only shame about these wonder vehicles is that so many kids just beat the hell out of them and finding a nice one that isn't out of this world in price is extremely difficult.

@frankiemck40 Год назад

I’m especially glad you did this one. I had two CRX’s- a 1984 and then a 1988. Both DX’s. People usually don’t know there were three models of each body style. FE, DX and Si. I truly enjoyed driving those little cars. I sometimes wish I still had one. Ah the good old days. 😊 Ironically the home market ones had back seats. Also A/C was optional, which was a must-have for me in Georgia!

@FrightfulAccountant Год назад

Honda's golden years. They won F1 every year and they put out the best street cars ever.

@rdm925 Год назад

I owned a 90 Civic SI and loved it. It was a great little car. Reliable, light and fun to drive. That generation CRX reminded me of the F-117 Stealth Fighter plan from Desert Storm!

I had one of those, had it i same colour but my was euro spec with B16 Vtec engine. 160 hp in that light car was a blast. Had to let it go with sadness due to massive rust in the rocker panels.

@John-gq7vt Год назад

Nice review, you got nearly everything right (more than most reviews) and I LOVE seeing how much you appreciate this car. I bought an '84 CRX and then sold Hondas and Acuras from '85 to 2015. A/C and radios were dealer installed options on all CRX trim levels all 8 years of their model run. The enclosed cargo area was standard on 2nd gen DX and Si trims, and Japanese and Euro CRX did have a back seat - nicknamed a two-mile seat. That's why the U.S. version LOOKS like it could have one. My guess is "two mile seat" GREATLY overestimated it's capabilities! Absolutely correct on the emergency seatbelt release (nobody gets that right!) and your impression of the shifter? Car and Driver (and others) said for decades that Honda made the world's best feeling shifter - including high dollar performance and exotics. Really nice review, thank you so much!

@Camo-Dan Год назад

This is such a great video. I absolutely love the color of this one albiet a bit sun faded. Never knew that about the sun roofs but the sun roof is my favorite part of my 1990 crx si. Wish it still opened up. Have to fix it among 900 other things to keep it driving is tough. I’ve seen two other crx’s around me over the last few years. I love this car so much. It’s a dream to drive. I swapped a new used d16a6 into it last winter to keep it going. Painted it the year before. Loved the footage of driving it from the cockpit. Great video!

@willyhwang1059 Год назад

what a cool hot hatch. 80s/90s Hondas rock!

@bazilwreckerloughead Год назад

I've always loved these cars. My cousin used to have a gray one; it had cool wheels & a boomin stereo system in it!

@scottmcc9102 3 месяца назад

I own a 1 owner 1990 CRX Si with 349,000+ miles. Only major change was to swap the B16 with a D16. It's my only new car I have owned & is my daily driver- but I do "baby" it a little just so it won't quit when I'm not ready.

@willmatic84 Год назад

This is one of my favorite Honda of all time 🙌 legendary 🙌 awesome review like always #milestoneto100k

@ErikSeastead Год назад

While being sub 2000 lbs is very impressive, especially for the 80s, the triumph spitfire 3 had a curb weight of 1567 lbs!! That includes the 400 lbs iron block engine and transmission. A modern aluminum drivetrain swap could get you well under 1500 lbs! Modern cars in the 2200 lbs range would be the NA Miata and Mk3 MR2. Basically nothing will ever be that light again.

In Japan, Rear Seats were available. The First Gen also had optional Digital Dashes.

@swide2750 Год назад

true about the rear seats i think they needed to have them to be a “compact” car and the japanese are more petite.

@hewasdeadwhenigotthere46 Год назад

I owned a 91 civic dx with the same D15b2 engine. Made 92 hp and a few hundred pounds more lol not much point in modding these imo they're fun as is in stock form. Mine lasted to 287k before I regrettably sold it. Had a b18c1 GSR too until a deer decided to run into me at 80mph 227k miles on her... miss her dearly. Mostly the transmissions and the high revving n/a engine. Dont miss the burning oil and black sooted bumper lol forerever a Honda fanboy ❤

@bradkubota6968 5 месяцев назад

The 1.5 is likely why it is still around. The SI was were loved to death. Still have Si bought new in 1988. I really need to put it back on the road. I managed to bury the speedo at 200 km/hr a number of times. Pretty good for 105 hp. I think the tachometer calculated to 204 km/hr. Canadian version was for sure lighter as the stupid seat belts added weight. Car dared you every time to brake deeper into the corner. I don't need no cup holder. A cup will fit pretty well between the E brake and the seat.

@number3stunner118 Год назад

It's possible to replace the cargo lid with a JDM backseat. I bought one around the end of last year. Sadly, I haven't gotten it installed because it didn't come with brackets that are needed 😑

@mrfunatparties6763 Год назад

The first review video that showed us the trunck.I 👍

@graysgarage9005 Год назад

So the JDM SiR model did have back seats! For whatever reason we weren’t offered that in the states /:

@nutbastard Год назад

Despite the lack of back seats, I spent many an hour sitting on that ledge sideways with my older brother because my dad refused to drive my mom's big ass 84 Impala, so when the 4 of us had to go anywhere, we just had to sardine it. I'm pretty sure I racked up at least one cumulative concussion from smacking my head against the roof due to speed bumps. And yeah, it would have been an absolute death trap in an accident, but hey, all's well that ends well.

@mr.bitsbyte4664 Год назад

Kind of a weird example here. As far as I know, AC was standard equipment on the DX in 90 and 91. The sunroof is also an odd addition, as it was apparently installed so soon after it was purchased, I wonder why the original owner didn't just go for the Si with the sunroof already.

@artoodiitoo Год назад

I have a 1989 euro Si CRX, the back seats are vinyl in similar shape, just without the plastic container lid :D I´ve been on the backseats of a 1st gen CRX too, weirdly the 1st gen has a lot more room in the back. 1st gen CRXs were about 800kgs, 2nd gen about 900kg, really light. Also had an option for heated seats only here in Scandinavia, I had extra seats I didn´t need and sold them to Texas, there might be only one CRX with heated seats in the US :D

I have a 1991 Honda CRX Si that I bought new in spring 1992. Up until a couple of weeks ago when the head gasket blew, it was my daily driver. I think it might be time to sell, as I figure potential buyers may want to put their own engine in anyway. Any advice on how to go about selling it would be appreciated.

One of my favorite Hondas. The EG and EKs are too popular. I like the (ugly ducklings) of the bunch. (I don't think they're ugly, I was just using it as a figure of speech cause these aren't the most popular Hondas. Just needed to make that clear.) My other favorite *Honda is the Acura Integra. Again with the Integra, not the most popular model (the bubble headlight Era) but the ones right before those. I believe it's 91 to 94.
