    We finally have a CRX!!!!! Been seeing this on the back ground from previous episodes. Ah… the infamous tap on starter. Haha… Def making my Saturday mornings very pleasant with a new upload from AHC garage team. Can’t wait until next week. Between you and CRXSeth, I am so tempted to get a CRX.

    '89 CRX Si Love it! thank you for uploading-- I owned a Red CRX Si when I was stationed in Germany-- I bought it with 136,000 miles. Sold it for more than I bought it for a year later. Go-cart handling, "hug the ground" stance, and rewarding mini race car feel and sound. Good luck on the refresh and upgrades. Thank you, a thousand thank you's!

    The CRX is such a sexy looking sports car that just needed more power but the looks is there! Honda is missing out on making a new 2 door CRX with a k series turbo or something. Itd be sick

    Keen to see this CRX get a new lease on life even though she's still alive and quite well for her age :) Rust is literally the only thing wrong with it. That and the starter ;)
    I like hearing from Brian about the paintwork and the detailed breakdowns he gives. I'm a mechanic so when Jon and Miguel speak/do their thing I'm in my comfort zone but when it comes to paint, I don't know that much :)

    Good luck on the project. Curious to see how it turns out. I love CRXs and am lucky enough to own two, however they are first gens. My 85 is all stock with 75k miles and working AC, cassette radio, etc. my 86 CRX Si is far from stock with a JDM K24a like the USDM K24a2 in the TSX. It makes 220 hp and 200 ft lbs to the tires. Looking at repainting both cars so interested in your approach to this mini restoration
