Honda CRX 16v

Introduction

So, now the Golf is dead, here's the new motor, a 1989 Honda CRX 1.6 16v.

Very very tidy condition with very little rust anywhere. Only rust ive seen is a teeny tiny bubble on drivers door and thats it :p

This car kicks ass :D Very quick, very comfortable, handles superb and looks gorgeous! Only downside is the exhaust :eek: to say its deafening would be an understatement :p. Dont believe me, ask ginner :D

Spec :
  • Honda Civic CRX 1989
  • 98k miles
  • 135-140hp
  • 15" alloys with 195/50 tyres
  • Front and rear strut braces
  • K&N air filter
  • Full custom stainless manifold-back system
Not quite sure what im doing about the exhaust at the moment but its not the end of the world. Neighbours hate it more than I do :p althought it is very very loud (n)

Just replaced the sparks and leads for nice Bosch super4 jobbies to cure a slight misfire when accelerating lightly. Seemed to have developed this problem on the drive home from Blackpool. Runs perfect now!
Cool, these little things kick arse, check out the handling results from TOTB (FWD class)

Just so small and nimble, and they have double wishbone suspension all round. Fun!
 
I love these cars, would really like to own one but will be going for an integra instead :D
 
BTW, what's wrong with white? Isn't white the Japanese racing colour???

i think it looks great in white., the japanese racing white is on the type R civics and integras etc, that colour there is grand prix white IIRC., id only really have the white or black whth them personally, i think there the best colours., now i envy you.,lol.,
 
white is the best colour it rocks:slayer: nice car btw if you get bored soon want to sell give me a pm(y)
 
yeah i love the integra in jap racing white, im going to collect one tomorrow, a DC2 TYPE R, theres big competition between them and the levin overe here but i wouldnt touch the levin over the teg.,
 
Hey, i know this is bumping an old thread but i sold you the car bud... Have you still got it?!

Regret it loads!!!!!!! Saw it outside a tesco in chorley i think... Brought a tear to my eye, lol...

In fact i miss it that much im getting another and turboing it!! :slayer:

The exhaust was only around a month old if i remember correctly... It was abit loud for me also, but couldnt be arsed getting it done again.. But it grew on me, even the shape of the piping was weird, but again, that grew on me....

that was minter than mint!!! And was very nippy!!!

Take care bud...

Just to let you know, Chris (bushboy) wont reply as he's not a member anymore. I'm his girlfriend.

He sold the CRX around 2 months after buying it from you as the rear arches started to rust literally over night and the pattern parts are expencive and non-existant in this country, let alone getting custom arches welded up. It was sold to a guy who lives near Manchester.

Kay, you have it pretty much spot on with the cars following it, and yes, he has a Honda Prelude now.
