That’s awesome bro. I’m 46 and used to tune them a lot in the late 90’ and 00’s. Just saw a clean Civic Si 90-91 on the road today. Reading your comment now and damn I want one again.
My first car was a 1985 Honda Civic CRX, bought in 1989. I drove the wheels off that thing. Unfortunately by 2008 the body was all rusted out, I gave it to a clerk at AutoZone. It had 340,000 miles on it, still did not use a drop of oil. In 2009 I found what I always wanted on eBay, a 1990 CRX Si in all original and mint condition with only 68,000 miles. I won it in the last 5 seconds of the auction. I still have it and always will. The Honda CRX is one of the best cars ever made.
In my opinion, late 90's - early 00's Honda engineering is unmatched especially when you factor in the cost of purchase/ownership. What other "ECONOMY" car revs to 8k+ and has front/rear double wishbone suspension?? JUST FUCKIN RAD!! GREAT EXAMPLE
In my 20s, I had two 88 CRX Si's. One white with Mugen body kit & a B18A. The other was stock red with a CA bard B16A2. Till this day I still regret selling both of them. Especially how rare they are to find in decent condition. Also, the value they are worth nowadays.
Owned a mk2 crx vti for 10 years over here in England when I was younger. We were lucky enough to get the VTEC b16a and there were also some imported Japanese import SiR's too. Mine was stock, custom exhaust, dynod at 165bhp , timed 0-60 of 6.6 seconds, and did 153mph at 8200rpm hitting the rev limiter. From a stock 1.6ltr engine, no turbo is crazy. One of the best cars I've owned and by far the best fwd car ever made imo. Nothing could corner like it back in the day. Awesome cars.
Take your pick: CTR, S2K, ITR, FD2, MKIV, STi, EVO, GTR, 350Z, MR2, NSX and so many others.. The mid '90s - mid '00s was without a doubt the absolute Golden era of JDM vehicles. I was a teen in the 90s and the CRX was always a classic. Seeing one with a K20 swap is definitely a head turner.
In HS I played soccer with a guy who had a really clean silver CRX. I had an ‘85 GTI. We were probably the only two people who loved and drove FWD lightweight hatchbacks in the whole school. We’d park them next to each other like we were at a car show.
In my early 20s, I had build an ef with full sir front end and interior along with a built k24/20 with a kraftwerks supercharger and it was so much fun to auto-x. It would spank v8’s light to light and absolutely demolish them around the track with a full set of ohlins, R888 tires and wilwood bbk. I regret selling it to this day, 15+ years later.
That sounds like a killer set up! I’ve seen a guy in an orange eg with a similar set up putting out 550whp with those kraftwerks kit on a k24 motor it was crazy!
Had a 91, looking forward to finding another one soon. The best car i ever had. Fun little car, unmodded when i bought it. I lowered it on st suspension, cat back exhaust, prelude fog lights, prelude brake booster, gsr rear disc conversion, was a blast even with the stock d15 single cam. Awesome build.
Had a 89' Si from new up until 2002. Put 320,000 miles on it. Lowered with bigger wider wheels. Handled like a dream. Was about to do a B16A swap then test drove the mew to America WRX. Bought a WRX and sold the CRX. Been missing it ever since. Now they cost to much.
This is my dream CRX! Soo clean!! Manual with no power steering? Yes please!!! I could never afford one of these in highschool. I'm guessing with the renewed interest in these old JDMs I probably can't afford one now! Good job, soo stoked to see a thing of radness.
I graduated high school in 1995 and the CRX was loved by many back then. Really cool cars for what they were then and nothing like the car in this video existed. Fun to see!
HF, DX SI... Brings back memories. I had a dark red DX, and my friend had a black SI. Mine had like 98 hp and his SI had like 110. It was a great time to mess around and race each other lol.
The lower mainland in BC is so unique that I can pick it out pretty much every time. So green, so beautiful. It's distinctive from any other place. As far as the CRX goes. One of my favourite cars of all time. I wanted one so bad back when I was a teenager....still do! I had a 76 Honda civic which was a blast to drive, just not even close to enough power in my 1200cc engine, but I never had money to do anything with it.
It's a dream car to me, I had two in the past, one I crashed 1988 dx with a zc integra swap, and another I bought at night in the rain when I was 18.. it's been the one that got away for me.. I will have one in the future for sure!. I love that it's NA! It's more than plenty for this car, and the kswap is mint!.. excellent build!👌🏾
My first two Hondas was a yellow 91 CRX SI and a white 89 CRX SI!!! Loved both of those cars I've built over 30 something Hondas since the early 2000s!!! Currently have a built 95 Civic Coupe that is my track car and a very very rare 2004 Honda Accord V6 6-speed manual coupe with the 1 of 500 EVER MADE.....HFP HONDA FACTORY PERFORMANCE PACKAGE with full bolt ons 320 HP at the wheels as my daily driver!!!
I need to have more patience like you. Just got a clean CB7 and I feel like I'm in a hurry to get things done. Edit: FYI, you cannot "crack" that top glass. It's tempered, so it either goes "boom" into pieces or stays perfectly intact.
This dudes beard color is the representation of how stressful this 12 year build was.. XD Honestly insane clean CRX, I remember these back in Highschool, and this one was DONE RIGHT. Love it.
Very nicely done Crx. It’s always nice to see a nice complete car meaning engine, interior, exterior, brakes, wheels, etc. Too often we see cars that go fast but can’t stop or it looks like a junker.
Love this video as I am a fan of the small, old-school Japanese sports car., they are the best...My dad had an early 1980s Celica when I was a kid, and my uncle had a Datsun. I learned how to drive on a manual transmission, it was a 1999 Civic Si. The CRX has always been a car that I never owned, but drove a few times growing up. I want to buy one now after watching this video. The 1999 Integra Type-R is another car I'd like to buy.
I had one in the same color, JDM B18C swapped and all. I sure miss it, I regret selling it for sure. I thought I needed to because I was expecting a child. You live you learn I suppose. Thanks for making me nauseous.
The first car i ever remember registering being "cool" first to draw my attention at 4 years old, im now almost 40 and bleed and breath cars only owning large displacement ls's and hatchbacks. I would trade my gti for a crx in a heartbeat
Had a Primer painted CRX with a B16 swap and an eBay turbo kit in high school 😂😂😂 shit was dope at the time ran 12s which was flying at the time(2004) compared to what a lot of kids had around my age. Loved eating some mustangs up with my primered lil p.o.s. 😂😂😂 great memories Ill always have a soft spot for a CRX
My first was an 82 civic hatch with a 1.5 with a carb haha absolutely loved it, and then my first and current motorcycle is an 82 honda twinstar 200 that ive made into a cafe bike..kinda cool tho both firsts are some of the smallest little hondas available that year
@N-light-end-1 my folks were the second owners of a 1987 ballade. The pop up lights. I'm from South Africa. They gave it to me at 17. I still have and currently doing a full Resto on it. A carb motor with a rocket blox back box on it sounds like a riot. That was my first mod at 18. I have this car 20 years as my own.
I owned a 1993 crx in high school! I graduated in 2000! And mine was the same color as this one and I used the pylewood in the bk with to Rockford 8inch subs and 2 6.5's with a 300 watt Rockford amp! I love it! Even stock 0 to 60 was like 7.0 seconds
God this car is so dope! I had a buddy in highschool that had one and we thrashed on that thing so much lol. Great little cars i would love to have one.
I had plenty of this in high school and stock You could get this for 800 to 1500 used with some miles back in those days now they want 25 k plus 😂 Fuck that But definitely Bad ass video Bring good memories back Wish I would have kept mines
I had one in the 90s for 4 years, I have never bought anything not Honda after that, and I've looked and tested and tried everything. People think that more expensive cars drive better and that couldn't be further from the truth.
My best friend got a CRX when we were about to turn 16, it was red and he later got a yellow car. I learned to drive manual in the red car, he literally drove us to a parking lot late at night and let me just drive it around, that was super super cool to me, I have always been appreciative and that always swayed me on the hondas when everyone else hated them.. I'm actually a Toyota guy and owned a bunch of supras, cressidas, gs300 and sc300's. I had a 1uzfe swapped ae86 that I built very cheap and it reminded me alot of the CRX. Cool cars, this would've been around 00-02 when we were kids! This is a super cool car man, if i could fit in one well still, id consider building a b or k series car.
I had 3. My fav was my Nighthawk black 91 Si with 95 Integra GSR wheels. DOHC ZC swap, ported and polished head, shaved head. 11:1 CP pistons. Yamaha 1000cc ITBS cut and welded. Custom torque stepped 4-1 header. MSD ext coil kit with 8.5mm wires. Hyper grounding copper kit. Clutches clutch and a Quaife LSD. It kept up with 5.0 mustangs actually. Solid low 14sec car.
I think the crz had a lot of potential if they made it look a bit better and bigger with k-series from ep3 or fa5 civic. It was a let down, they wouldve sold way mire if they had a k series and made it bigger like veloster
Yoooo! The Moroso oil catch can! Very nice touch and nd nod to the original name of recently closed Palm Beach International Raceway in West Palm Beach. RIP
I daily a stock base model CRX. It's nothing like this car but it makes me smile every time I see it, and makes me happy every time I drive it.
Feel like that when I drive my RX-8
That’s awesome bro. I’m 46 and used to tune them a lot in the late 90’ and 00’s. Just saw a clean Civic Si 90-91 on the road today. Reading your comment now and damn I want one again.
@@trespatines305 Set up that Craigslist filter just in case. Don't you want to walk outside and see that ass every day?
That's awesome, I don't know of too many bone stock CRXs still around
He should look into adding electric power steering. Alot more efficient and you don't lose power compared to your normal PS system.
This has to be the most beautifully done crx I have literally ever seen.
Thanks man! Appreciate it.
I agree
36 years old. These were the jam in high school and this one is minty asf! Interior is 👌🏼

What other "ECONOMY" car revs to 8k+ and has front/rear double wishbone suspension??
JUST FUCKIN RAD!!
GREAT EXAMPLE

88 crx si is my favorite car I’ve ever owned
Car’s crazy cool. Crx’s are just dripping with style
I'm old enough to have owned an '89 CRX Si. I miss it! Great, fun little car. Super simple. Super pure.
I still kind of regret not picking up a black 90 CRX Si about 15 years ago that was sitting in my neighbors yard. Unique classic look.
Owned a mk2 crx vti for 10 years over here in England when I was younger. We were lucky enough to get the VTEC b16a and there were also some imported Japanese import SiR's too. Mine was stock, custom exhaust, dynod at 165bhp , timed 0-60 of 6.6 seconds, and did 153mph at 8200rpm hitting the rev limiter. From a stock 1.6ltr engine, no turbo is crazy.

Yes! Been there too and I still love them❤👍🏻
Incredible example of a crx- just beautifully nostalgic with sweet modern touches
Take your pick: CTR, S2K, ITR, FD2, MKIV, STi, EVO, GTR, 350Z, MR2, NSX and so many others.. The mid '90s - mid '00s was without a doubt the absolute Golden era of JDM vehicles. I was a teen in the 90s and the CRX was always a classic. Seeing one with a K20 swap is definitely a head turner.

In my early 20s, I had build an ef with full sir front end and interior along with a built k24/20 with a kraftwerks supercharger and it was so much fun to auto-x. It would spank v8’s light to light and absolutely demolish them around the track with a full set of ohlins, R888 tires and wilwood bbk. I regret selling it to this day, 15+ years later.
New project time?
That sounds like a killer set up! I’ve seen a guy in an orange eg with a similar set up putting out 550whp with those kraftwerks kit on a k24 motor it was crazy!
Wow

You're 2002 WRX was legendary for that time period. You had some nice cars
This is my dream CRX! Soo clean!! Manual with no power steering? Yes please!!! I could never afford one of these in highschool. I'm guessing with the renewed interest in these old JDMs I probably can't afford one now! Good job, soo stoked to see a thing of radness.
Thanks man!

Tahitian green is one of the best colours ever

I had the same color same year. I miss that car.
We also have a CRX with glass roof. Rebuilt the engine with reinforced internals and fitted a turbo. Awesome cars 😀 From ZA.
I love my 91 si. I have not done much and it’s a blast. I will always love this car
It's a dream car to me, I had two in the past, one I crashed 1988 dx with a zc integra swap, and another I bought at night in the rain when I was 18.. it's been the one that got away for me.. I will have one in the future for sure!. I love that it's NA! It's more than plenty for this car, and the kswap is mint!.. excellent build!👌🏾
Not being able to locate one of these anymore nowadays, I'm perfectly happy to have my 98 EK Civic 4 door.....the next best thing to daily drive.
Looks and sounds like plenty of fun!
I miss my 91 cr-x si best car ever 250k+ miles and it was still rolling with no issues.
My first car!!! Mine had power windows too!! Never seen them again on an EF until now!! So RARE
My first two Hondas was a yellow 91 CRX SI and a white 89 CRX SI!!! Loved both of those cars I've built over 30 something Hondas since the early 2000s!!!

Yea, I was more so saying if I crash the whole car lol.
This dudes beard color is the representation of how stressful this 12 year build was.. XD Honestly insane clean CRX, I remember these back in Highschool, and this one was DONE RIGHT. Love it.
lol. Lots of stress yes!
Haha and a lot of Love in the end😊❤
This is one of the cleanest, most tasteful Honda builds I’ve ever seen. 😍
The VTEC crossover is so apparent…love it so much
Beautiful in every way
Very nicely done Crx. It’s always nice to see a nice complete car meaning engine, interior, exterior, brakes, wheels, etc. Too often we see cars that go fast but can’t stop or it looks like a junker.
Rex's and 5th Gen Ludes are probably my all time favorite hondas.
I also have a Tahitian green pearl 91 CRX SI with a k24a. I’ve owned many hondas in my lifetime. The CRX is the best Honda under the nsx and s2k
8th gen Si 😊
Freaking love me a solid CRX. I've owned CRX's for over 15 years and have had my current b20/vtec for about 12 years
this cars built right!!. period correct audio gear - that kinda stuff is such a important detail.
appreciate that man! thanks.

I am in the early 50 but the CRX is still my dream car. I could not afford while back in High School but now still looking for a decent manual baby.
My first car was a 1989 CRX Si bought in 2003. Every time I see one I smile, one of the most fun cars to drive.
This is a very beautiful project made with a lot of passion and Love ❤
I had three of them CRX's ohh..integra type r dc2 now❤
I daily my 1990 CRX Si since 2006.
Well done Mike
I bought a 2013 cr-z manual a couple of weeks ago to k-swap in the future and I daily a 1997 Miata with no power steering.
I love CRXs. Future classic for sure.
i had 2 EF hatchbacks, I loved them, very similar to the CRX.. I would love to have an AWD K20 Hatch or CRX.. Hondas are amazing 🔥👍🏻
I had one in the same color, JDM B18C swapped and all. I sure miss it, I regret selling it for sure. I thought I needed to because I was expecting a child. You live you learn I suppose. Thanks for making me nauseous.
Shame a clean one is so hard to find, one of my favorites 🤟
Reminds me of what I currently want to do to my ‘88 CRX Si, the car has undergone over 20k of improvements since I restored it two years ago.
Amazing CRX build! That color really suits it. Awesome 👌
Anything Honda Si was super amazing....
I remember I had a yellow si with a zc engine in it that revved to the moon. I can only imagine how a k series feels
The first car i ever remember registering being "cool" first to draw my attention at 4 years old, im now almost 40 and bleed and breath cars only owning large displacement ls's and hatchbacks.
I would trade my gti for a crx in a heartbeat

I can’t get over how nice this CRX is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My first car was an 85 CRX 1.5 carb. Best car I ever owned. Wish I could have it again, all 76 hp of it, lol Love this build must be a hoot to drive.
Even though they don't have much power they an absolute hoot to drive. A bag of fun bursting at the seems 🎉
My first was an 82 civic hatch with a 1.5 with a carb haha absolutely loved it, and then my first and current motorcycle is an 82 honda twinstar 200 that ive made into a cafe bike..kinda cool tho both firsts are some of the smallest little hondas available that year

Having an 89 crx si was the most memorable fun car I’ve ever had. Would definitely have another one in the future
Insane built…that was the first car I drove in my life when I was 14 years old my cousin in Puerto Rico had a red 1990 si cool video ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
I liked the ef hatchback. Same but different. Great era
I owned a 1993 crx in high school! I graduated in 2000! And mine was the same color as this one and I used the pylewood in the bk with to Rockford 8inch subs and 2 6.5's with a 300 watt Rockford amp! I love it! Even stock 0 to 60 was like 7.0 seconds
Love a good clean CRX
My first car was an 88 CRX and it drove like a go kart
Absolute work of art
Absolutely phenomenal car 👍
Now that is a respectable Honda build really clean. Give it some boost my guy
I was beside this crx on the highway to the Abbotsford airshow last summer. Same dude was driving lol
lol nice, yea i was on my way to midnight revUP show!
That roof is insane never seen it
Beautiful quick car!!! Simply amazing!!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😃👌
God this car is so dope! I had a buddy in highschool that had one and we thrashed on that thing so much lol. Great little cars i would love to have one.
Dang, those seats are OG sweetness
I had plenty of this in high school and stock
You could get this for 800 to 1500 used with some miles back in those days now they want 25 k plus
😂
Fuck that
But definitely
Bad ass video
Bring good memories back
Wish I would have kept mines
I've wanted one of these my whole life looks and sounds so sick
I had an 88 hatchback with a non-V SOHC JDM ZC and for whatever reason that thing spanked b-series on more than one occasion.
Perfect car. I would daily this
Very nice old-school Honda. Tasteful mods. Wonderful car. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man, appreciate that.
I had one in the 90s for 4 years, I have never bought anything not Honda after that, and I've looked and tested and tried everything. People think that more expensive cars drive better and that couldn't be further from the truth.
I had a yellow crx si. Loved that car.
I am jealous of both the CR-X… and that beard
lol thanks man, beard looks extra white in the video for sure!
My best friend got a CRX when we were about to turn 16, it was red and he later got a yellow car. I learned to drive manual in the red car, he literally drove us to a parking lot late at night and let me just drive it around, that was super super cool to me, I have always been appreciative and that always swayed me on the hondas when everyone else hated them.. I'm actually a Toyota guy and owned a bunch of supras, cressidas, gs300 and sc300's. I had a 1uzfe swapped ae86 that I built very cheap and it reminded me alot of the CRX. Cool cars, this would've been around 00-02 when we were kids! This is a super cool car man, if i could fit in one well still, id consider building a b or k series car.
Great CRX build! He made the right choice swapping that K20A2 instead of perhaps a B18C which would also be cool but, K is the way baby
It felt right at home in this car. But that's likely the case with most old Hondas too
@@RoadsUntraveled No doubt :)
My uncle had a yellow one, awesome!!
Clean car, clean beard! 2 thumbs up my man!
Thanks brother! Appreciate that! X2 😅
I had 3. My fav was my Nighthawk black 91 Si with 95 Integra GSR wheels. DOHC ZC swap, ported and polished head, shaved head. 11:1 CP pistons. Yamaha 1000cc ITBS cut and welded. Custom torque stepped 4-1 header. MSD ext coil kit with 8.5mm wires. Hyper grounding copper kit. Clutches clutch and a Quaife LSD. It kept up with 5.0 mustangs actually. Solid low 14sec car.
This was my first car and only lasted me a year. I want another one now that i can afford the repairs lol
Awesome build.
Had an Si in high school and absolutely loved that car
I think the crz had a lot of potential if they made it look a bit better and bigger with k-series from ep3 or fa5 civic. It was a let down, they wouldve sold way mire if they had a k series and made it bigger like veloster
Agreed.
The best of both worlds 😊
Cool AF! Always wanted one of these
Yoooo! The Moroso oil catch can! Very nice touch and nd nod to the original name of recently closed Palm Beach International Raceway in West Palm Beach. RIP
i owned 2 crxs, my favorite cars
the glass roof is baller
Great video Marcus!
Thanks pduffy83usa! 🤝
Great… the Honda bug has reignited in me! Haha love this build!
Haha sorry
Great, GREAT car. Cool scooter too ❤
