13:40 This was AMAZING - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I cannot WAIT to watch this on the big screen later, thank you so much for the experience Misha, look forward to meeting again someday 😊
Great car!! Still love them to bits, those CRXes ❤
@ACCORDriver thanks buddy, they really are awesome fun! Especially when you spend a couple o grand on the underside! 😅😬
I 100% would be sitting in the passenger seat the same as you, huge grin, telling him to give it the beans haha
@@ardillasecretaHonda life, redline every gear, knowing you're getting home aswell 😅
Hopefully see this guy again on here, next time with a snail filling that gap
Can immediately tell the owner is going to be great
Can confirm having known him a number of years - fucking excellent bloke.
@MattBeardless aww thanks man, thank you SO much for helping get the last parts to get the CRX around the ring, couldn't have done it without you 🥰
Thanks buddy appreciate it 😀
He reminds me of Nick from Shaun of the Dead.
"Yeah mate, she LOVES it!"
Yeh
I'm starting to notice Misha is the happiest whenever he is in a Honda.. he should build one already..😊
Agree, watch all the Honda vids compared to others, he enjoys the most in Hondas
i can feel the ek9 coming
Honestly, I think part of that joy for Misha is knowning regardless of how hard he sends a Honda. The owner won’t be overly burdened with upkeep and preventative maintenance. That means more fun in short lol.
As am I 😂
“You meet the nicest people on a Honda”
The engine coolant temperature never increased to the danger zone during the entire tour. OMG
That's a honda for ya.
I've had 2 Hondas, more recent ones, and they do the same, always below half, I even though I had a stuck open thermostat because even in the hottest days with AC cranked, it won't budge. Truly amazing cars.
@@hf7188 Same with honda motorcycles. they are so reliable.
I noticed he was half way round the track at full pelt before it even got to optimal temperature lol😊
Honda baby i have k20turbo and never go up🤣🤣🤘🏼
Rory seems like such a legit dude, love it
he’s the owner of my local club, absolute legend.
He is a legend.. known him years and never any different.
@@Anima1690 aww thanks man ly xx
@jimmothyr6500 it's actually my girlfriend's club, I just help out at events n share events etc 🥰
Right? Such a cool dude
Hondas seem to always make very emotional and enthusiastic videos when Misha is driving... So much fun bashing these little motors all the way around the track. And they truly eat it up like nothing... I'm really enjoying all the love that Misha is giving Hondas recently. Awesome content. 👌
more honda pls
this is why they turned into the cliche tuner car for so many people. they are cheap, easy to work on, and you can wind them to the moon!
@@ghomerhustonly the old Honda… new Honda fucks up to work on
@@ghomerhust Adding to what you said. They are very reliable even when modded
B & K series will make 400-500whp on the stock bottom end and run for years. The 90’s era Honda’s were crazy light weight and handle awesome with double wishbone suspension. Special cars indeed when you compare them to modern cars. Honda put double wishbone suspension are grocery getter economy cars 😂, good luck finding that in todays world without.
I'd love to see him drive something with a J series motor.
the design of this car is a classic.
The best design in my opinion, those car have brake/fuel line inside the car .. rust free... love it. Also the part are quite still cheap.. except the shipping .. I buyed a upper control arm for a Civic Wagon 1991 costed me like $20 ... most car nowaday control arms are like 120$+ ...
This owner was definitely NOT sitting there like a crash test dummy! Thoroughly enjoyed watching you guys enjoy a car.
Thank you so much, I'm very enthusiast when it comes to cars and situations like this, incredible experience.
"Give her the ketchup, she loves it" 😂😂😂
Can this guy narrate my life everytime something decent happens? I would feel so special and empowered with those "yeaaah, beautiful". Gorgeous personality this one has.
The guy is great!
This was a fun lap with a very enthusiastic owner😎
‘Give her the ketchup’ 😂
never heard of that one before! Love this guys enthusiasm, great vid cheers!
You can def notice the lighter flighwheel in how quickly it goes up in the revs. Improves the drivability of a standard ED9 big time. Great car! Still in love with them.
Of course - the entire thing weighs nothing and the engine is small - the biggest enemy of actual speed is weight.
@plektosgaming 130hp 910kg
Just simple reliable fun 😀
@@RoryRevs Love the Hachi shirt 👌 😄
@bong4538 thank you 😊
Actually it's 131 hp stock xD
I have an identical 1989 1.6i-16 CRX, I'm considering a lightened flywheel too.
Will it ruin normal traffic driving tho?
This was a good one. Misha and Rory look to have had an absolute blast. Just goes to show you don't need to have a GT3 to have the craic on the track.
It was fantastic, can't wait to have him drive one of our other cars around the ring 😊
The crx is the pinnacle of hondas lighter chassic rigid enough but still sub 1000kg one of my all time favourites in grip racing cars.
You can post videos of all of the most expensive and most race-bred machines in the world, but the sound of a high-reving Honda is where it is at
Also note how the petrol gauge has not moved for a whole lap on the redline?! Every other car seems to drain the tank in a lap haha
@ardillasecreta worked out that with driving around Nürburg/Adenau/Wimbach we and 5 laps of the track she averaged 26mpg 🤣
Always loved how the crx body/silhouette looks, such a timeless car and design in my humble opinion
I've had 2 crx's over the years and hands down they are the most pure and fun driving experience I've ever had
ZC CRX, I'm here for it! ❤
The DOHC ZC engine was known as the D16A9 outside of the US
Come over to Europe Sarah ! We’d love to see you here !
And the 90 91 have a d16z5
Too right! 😅
It's hard to beat the utter joy of driving a slow car fast. These videos are always so much fun.
What a chill guy. Pretty relaxing video to watch with the sunset and nice convo you guys had. Looks like you enjoyed the ride too Misha😁
“Look at the sunset” 😂 he says to the guy driving full blast, what a great guy. He’s really loving it
All the best to everyone
You never see Misha with a bigger smile than when he's driving an old Honda.
Love the tone of the engine
Anyone remember the the one make CRX series racing back in the day?
These used swap ends trail braking into corners faster than an old 911.
Loved this lap.
Loved the car.
Loved the enthusiasm of Misha and Rory.
Yes! Absolutely loved that. On TV but also deliberately chose days to spectate when they were on the bill.
Lusted after one (though my ‘plastic’ bodied 130HP MR2 on shitty Yokohama A539s - who recommended them to me! - was just a bit quicker round Donington Park than a slick shod CRX race car the same team looked after. No power but just perfect handling. Sublime. I wish 13:31 I’d have got that to the ‘Ring
Its just me or this lap feels way faster than the "1000 hp" Gtr from the other day ? jajajajajaja
It does:)
The faster the car, the more careful you gotta be, the more stressed you are and the lesser you enjoy it
That thing looks like a lot of fun in the high rpm's 👌🔥
Misha , Rory AND a Honda best combo ever !!! so much fun 🤣🤣🤣🤣
What a cool owner! I would love doing a lap with him, or just sit and chill with a beer and Watching the cars go by on the track!
Seems like Such a cool guy 👌😎
His enthusiasm is contagious, what a great guy ,rev it like on my way to work lol.
Hope he comes back after a rebuild and a turbo upgrade ,maybe some brakes ? Man those Hondas love the rpms ,love these lower hp cars ,it really show your skill as a driver at the speed you carry through all the corners
One of my favorite videos you've made. The owner and you just having fun sending it in a screaming Honda is 10/10 😂
These guys are happy because Hondas make you happy
Watching this, I am happy!
Love it ❤️
The owner is the real deal. Got to love a true petrol head, greetings from west London. Wow, what a guy. As for Misha, what can one say, a man that just lives/ loves to drive, don’t matter what it is so long it’s got wheels. Ma man 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👊🏿❤️😊
Looked like it was rippin' around for 130bhp! Power to weight old skool goodness!
Awesome how much fun you can have with an old banger like the CRX. Love it
I had this car years ago. It was basically a go cart. So much fun driving a slow car fast. I drove mine for over 200k miles and sold it running on the original motor. Great car with so much leg room for a small hatchback.
Give us more HONDA's :D
one of the greatest engines ever seen the light of day
14:34 My Volvo 240 is starting to develop that same issue. Known to be the heater core valve gunking up and eventually not fully closing any more, just a b to get to in that car. Might not be related, just wanted to throw it out there.
The blade silver si is actually more rare and here in the california scene, a lot of us prefer blade silver over the black. We love seeing them. congrats on the feature and it was super fun to watch.
I have to pause at 2:10 and have to say that this Sir is a real British kind gentlemen. I can see it. Nice Dude. Nice driving 🎉🎉
nostalgic, half of my buddies back in the day all drove CRX's
I’ve watched so many of your videos, have to say I really enjoyed this one. The owner was loving every second of the drive and looks like you were having fun too.
Great video ! You know it's not the fastest thing out there, but the experience you get, the thrills.... amazing. HONDA in it's best form.
If someone told me it had 200hp I would believe it..
@nighthawk0077 wow that's amazing! 😮
I used to have an '89 CRX, just like that but white. Best car I've ever owned, so much fun. Got the D16 to 172bhp NA.
What had you done to the a9 to make it to 172bhp? I’m planning to rebuild the engine next year, it’d be great to know tour build 💪🏻
@@davcap7816 Supersprint 4-2-1 exhaust manifold, b-pipe and backbox, stock cams reprofiled to stage 2 by Crower in the USA, adjustable cam pulleys, ported throttle body, induction kit, Dastek piggyback ECU for mapping. The cams meant it barely idled. I earthed the air-con pin on the ECU to get it to idle faster which helped.
I still have the exhaust mani if you're interested... well, part of it.
EDIT: Almost forgot... ported head. Ports matched to manifolds.
@@HerbsmanRevs WOW! Such hard work. What part of exhaust manifold you got? Original supersprint is so hard to find
@@davcap7816 it's the 4 in to 2 part the bolts to the head, it's stainless. The 2 in to 1 part was aluminiumised steel and rotted. Easy enough to make I would think.
@@HerbsmanRevs sounds great, what’s your ig?
PURE FUN.
1997 Prelude VTi (manual gearbox of course) owner here, as always, Honda lovers are very cool guys right 🫡
So fun
I had a 1988 Si in black in the late 90’s. My first foreign car. Loved it. My first night of work at Ground Zero, Halloween 2001, I parked it at the yard in the S Bx and when I returned at dawn it was mysteriously burned to the ground.
"It just feels like I'm driving to work" 😂 Brilliant!
For her age and no vtec. She moves...... great owner aswel. I to run the older Vauxhall small block 16v xe non vvt, a set of cams in mine gave it that higher rpm kick with the cam duration. Great vid
Wow a D16 i thought id never see that valve cover again. Takes me back. ❤
D16a9 🇯🇵
Respect to the owner. I like how going around the carousel. He made sure whatever that was. Was not impeding the cameras view.
This video made my day, so positive energy from the owner.
A cool guy with a cool car.
he was afraid lol
@@stoerenungeheuer543100% I was 😂
I was beginning to think that temp gauge MUST be broken. It barely moved once up to temp and never past half way on gauge. Neat lil Honda CRX. They love living at redline!
Makes me remember the good old 90s and my late mate`s CRX. It was a blast. Thanks, Misha. ❤
In 1985, I was racing in an autocross and my girlfriend at the time had just bought a new CRX SI manual, and she showed up at the track. I asked the organizer if I could take it on the track for a test lap. With his permission, I ran what would have been the fast lap of the day, and that was just one lap in a car I'd never driven before. Of course, I could never talk her into letting me take it for a day on the course.
The CRXs are literally bullet-proof. Had one and drove it like I stole it for 30 years and loved every bit of it!
Just watching the joy and happiness of the owner makes me smile because for a car guy, this was definitely a dream experience for him and would be for any of us.
It really was! 😅🥰
Impressive, pure driving pleasure machine!
My first car was an 88 Mustang GT Manual in all White.. It was a T-Top car and had a cam and 3.73 gears, headers, & 2chamber Flowmasters, was so much fun back in the late 90's as I graduated in 99.. Since I live in Indiana, the car wouldn't get me around in winter, so I got an 89 CRX just like this one but White to match the Mustang.. It was sooo much fun, and the complete opposite of the Mustang, the 5.0 was all torque, and muscle and sound.. The crx was RPM & Momentum.. I lowered a couple inches, and tinted it out and had a sweet set of 10" subs in the back.. I felt like I ruled my small town of about 15k people.. I wish I held on to both of them as they are both very sought after cars today, yet were both super cheap to buy, by just working after school, and during summers.. The Mustang was %5900 & CRX was $2800.. Under $10k for 2 bad ass cars, what happened to the good ol days..
You'll never lose them memories! 🥰
the owner was amazing, loved this guy
I love how happy everyone is in these Honda videos.
I love those little things!
With some port work, stronger valves & springs, camshafts, headers, exhaust & tires he'll be gaining a lot in dat b16 non vtec. Or a b20 head with exhaust & lsd is another combination
P.s. forget the turbo man it'll be a hassle on curves on a track, dragging its another strory; just necessary. 🎉
This guys a legend, prefer watching people comfortable and understanding whats going on
Except from the car,this is by far the best owner/person he's so freaking cool
Mischa,
hits the rev limiter,
Rory, She loves it! 😂
Coolest owner! 😎
...5:32... the Honda owner so nice😂👍...🚘she loves the red zone 8000🔥 rpm yeahhh 🤣 HONDA It's a legend...never lights lit never blockages or leaks I had the same CRX VTEC 1991 150hp(180hp) a real go cart😍...GREAT MISHA PRO as always🤘...an entire tour in the red zone with great conversation everyone had fun... you made me smile throughout the video What a couple😂😂 another video like this🔥🚘🔥
What a beauty. I can’t think of any other hot hatch coupe fwd two seater shaped like this. The vintage car enthusiasts always said that there were no real classics to be found in the reasonable price class of the mid 1980s and later. Here’s one that proofs them wrong. Perfomance- and designwise.
Owner added 30% to the beauty of the car and engine. Cool guy
Rorys joy is what made this vid extra fun to watch.
“It just feels like I’m driving to work” 💀💀💀
Nice to see that a Honda is very economical with its fuel. The fuel gauge is lower at the beginning than at the end or has been refueled in between:-) At a certain point the tank is even completely full.
I owned exactly this car for many years. I am very supprised that the brakes resist.
What a great lap! Loved the CRX since first saw it when I was a kid, and I'm the same age as the owner. Would love to see it again boosted this time. Bring it on Rory!
Love late 80's Honda speedo goes to 150. I had a 4ws prelude and loved it.
Those preludes were quite awesome as well, handled like they were on rails crx too. The dodge Daytona turbos were a riot to drive as well.
Cant beat that signature sound.
Misha time for your EG Honda build mate !!! Send it ,Honda The power of dreams !!! 😜👍🇦🇺
Got to love an old honda! sounds good and one of the few cars that the heat gauge actually goes down when you hammer it XD except for the end there, got a bit warm XD that radiator is working like a charm!
Gotta love Rory's enthusiasm! Great car dude.
I miss my CRX. Such a fun car. VTEC with ABS stripped and upgraded brakes. Had a blast in that car.
Great footwork. Beautiful to watch
All the best to everyone
Now that's pretty frickin' cool, probably one of the rarest D series engines out there!
Damn, I was surprised that he could get the car up to 130
13:06 😄
- On the limiter again?
- Yes.
- So good!
Have a picture of this exact car driving home from work in the UK, sounded great and looks great. Good to see it on the track!
You have a picture of it?? 😮
Thank you aswell 🥰
Rory, you sir are a legend! Love this guy! Amazing video once again, Misha!
My first Honda ❤
This is what i call pure love for automotive boys. Gigling with affordable old car in fantastic legendary track. I hope one day able to have fun there also
Imagine if he really followed up his Boosted Boris persona with a VTEC Vladimir one every time he drives a Honda lol.
I got crx 1990 k20 swapped . Wouldn't mind a few laps with you soon
Still love the Civic videos better than nearly amy electric car lap I've seen to date. Very relatable.
Tolles Video, honda Menschen sind die glücklichsten der Welt ❤
Had one of these in the early 90s. Loved it and it’s great to see the joy it brings both of you.
Rory - what a sound geezer! Great video, awesome Honda!
I remember these coming out, i passed my test in 1987 and definitely couldn't afford one. I should have brought one when they become cheaper as I've always loved the shape but stupidly i didn't 🤦🏼, now they are expensive.
Wooow, i had a civic sb4 SI and an ef9 vtec. Great memories! My mates used to turbocharge the same 1.6dohc and we had a lot of fun during local track days❤
This CRX owner gets it. Used to actually push my fit that hard on my way to work, basically backroad togue all the way
Gold era of Honda ❤
12:52 perfect corners!😗
Had an ED9 as my first car. Exhaust, intake, custom map, suspension, front and rear strut bars. With the custom map (done by a guy who later moved to UK to become one of the very best tuners out there, competing in Time Attack : Romain Levesques), it basically had the same peak power as a B16, but more torque down low. Of course, a tuned B series is gonna be better, and now we have all ways and means to perform K20 swaps, but the D16A9 was the peak of the D series and a great engine, and they take turbo conversions really well, so if you want cheap power, that's the way to go.
For the story, I bought mine before getting my licence, so my dad, who's a crazy good driver, took it periodically. By the time I got my licence, everyone in the area was afraid of this little CRX and nobody ever dared to challenge me on the road, contrary to the usual behaviour you'd be met with driving a GTI or sports car, because my dad had already clapped absolutely everyone with it 😂
I'm very happy with my current NA MX-5, but damn I miss the CRX so freaking much. Thanks Misha for the nostalgia shot, and Rory, please drive and enjoy this thing as much as you can.
I love how the fuel meter goes up bc of the g-forces. Reminds me of my good old days with my Civic EJ2. Awesome ride this one!
