My 1990 Honda Crx Si (pics)

[Robb.]

Here's some pictures of my 1990 Crx Si. I'm the 3rd owner since June 2006.
The original owner kept it for 2.5 years then sold it. It has only seen 1 winter in 1991.
It has been rustproofed every year pretty much,
It came with full service records, as well as a Monthly Microsoft Word service log.

The person I bought it from is a teacher in Scotland, and came back to Ontario every summer and used the CRX during that period only.
I also have the original bill of sale, from the original owner, who still had it.

Anyways, on to pics.

Wow, very nice, especially for a DD. Those cars were always very rewarding to drive. How much for yours?

 

[exranger06]

Beautiful car!

 

[Drew99GT]

What's that saying about it's funner to drive a lower hp car fast than a very high hp car slow, or somethign like that?

Anyways' I bet that thing is funner to drive than a go cart was when we were kids!

That thing is perfectly tasteful as far as mods go; not ricerized at all.

I'm curious what that intake resonator tube thingy is by the radiator core support ?

 

[SwampSurvivor]

That's nice! Don't let that get in the hands of a boyracer!

Odd question but ... where is the serp belt?

 

[Papa Bear]

I had a new '90 Civic DX as a daily driver and put about 250k Kms on it. It was one of my favourite cars.

 

[SLCraig]

I love it... I just wish Honda still made stuff like that. Hope you keep it forever.

I hate most new cars for obvious reasons.

Same here. I never owned anything newer than 1991.

 

[Mr Nice]

Beautiful classic Honda.

My sister had a new 1986 CRX that had a 2 tone navy blue / grey paint.
I wish she told me she was getting rid of it back in 1995.

I can't go that far, but I like the 8th gen SI because in it's class, it's the most standard down to business car you can get.

I would love an older car but most as you know, are all beat or completely rotted out.

Very, very nice 24 year old copy of 1 of the best low cost performance car of the early 90's. The engine bay is very clean and the upgrades are very tasteful.

 

[trx250x92]

That is a beautiful example of a clean CRX. Tastefully modified. I wish Honda would go back to their roots and make simple & affordable sporty cars like this CRX was in its generation.

Reminds me of a Del-sol I found a few years back- It was elegant in its simplicity. (I a pulled 40mpg no matter how hard I drove it)

umm, not even a close comparison !

 

[edhackett]

Reminds me of an Alfa Romeo Junior Z, which came out 16 years earlier than the CRX. Copied it right down to the wheels, they did. As they say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The original CRX is a nice car, and one of the few Hondas that I find interesting. Very nice car, robcrx.
