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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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!!!
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.
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!👌🏾
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
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
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 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 have a 450~500rwhp (flex fuel with a KB 2.1 and a built engine) 1993 NSX and the 2nd Gen CRX Si is the ONLY FWD Honda that I love after I drove my friend's cherry 1991 Si with 5k miles on it. Thing was so spacious and much lighter than the NSX, which is pretty light already.
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.
The first rex I ever seen was completely flipped out, bright orange full body kit with wing and white 18 inch like 6 spoke rims laying frame. I was 13 I think. Then at 14 I believe my older buddy Morris had a rex si I think 91 I believe. He found a donor car at the impound yard they sold to him with a J-Spec carbon fiber front and back bumper with integra stock rims headers pipe. It was a super fun ride.
90 CRX HF (white) with carbon hood & JMD lighting in the front. Integra type R motor. JDM Si tranny (cable clutch). Full CRX Si interior. Volk wheels Slammed on Koni shocks & Tien coilovers. Was just starting to build the motor and get set up for motorcross… Let my brother in law borrow it, warned him to be careful when VTEC kicked in. He was racing a C5 Vette in the rain and put it into a tree. He was okay but the car was totaled. Insurance gave me hardly anything for it compared to thousands I had invested into the project… Lesson learned and never built a car again. Buy a nice car that comes the way you want it and enjoy it for what it is. In the end, saves you a lot of headaches in the long run… But it sure was fun while it lasted👊 Good times in the early 2000s with the CREX.
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 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.
I always preferred the 1998 Si Civic coupes. I knew a lot of people who turned the standard Civic hatches into drag-cars. There was a guy named Chris Miller who had a perfomance shop in NY called NRG-Tech and he had the fastest front-wheel hatch Civic in his class at the time. He was running high 8's in the quarter mile at the time I believe. I knew people with trick CRX's too. My brother's best friend did, and my brother had the last Integra before the RSX.
Bro should do what I did and lose the glass on the highway and have it fly into the ditch and then order a lexan replacment. Lighter and stronger than glass.
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
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 👌🏼
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.
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 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. 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.
Yes! Been there too and I still love them❤👍🏻
Dang, those seats are OG sweetness
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.
Car’s crazy cool. Crx’s are just dripping with style
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
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.
Incredible example of a crx- just beautifully nostalgic with sweet modern touches
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.
You're 2002 WRX was legendary for that time period. You had some nice cars
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.
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.
We also have a CRX with glass roof. Rebuilt the engine with reinforced internals and fitted a turbo. Awesome cars 😀 From ZA.
My first car!!! Mine had power windows too!! Never seen them again on an EF until now!! So RARE
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.
Rex's and 5th Gen Ludes are probably my all time favorite hondas.
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😊❤
Shame a clean one is so hard to find, one of my favorites 🤟
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
Well done Mike
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!!!
This is one of the cleanest, most tasteful Honda builds I’ve ever seen. 😍
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.
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
this cars built right!!. period correct audio gear - that kinda stuff is such a important detail.
appreciate that man! thanks.
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!👌🏾
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
I love CRXs. Future classic for sure.
Having an 89 crx si was the most memorable fun car I’ve ever had. Would definitely have another one in the future
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.
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 ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
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.
The VTEC crossover is so apparent…love it so much
Now that is a respectable Honda build really clean. Give it some boost my guy
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
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

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!
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
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
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.

"Past 5k you're passenger is no longer with you, might as well get a headset" 😂
I can’t get over how nice this CRX is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I am jealous of both the CR-X… and that beard
lol thanks man, beard looks extra white in the video for sure!
That roof is insane never seen it
I have a 450~500rwhp (flex fuel with a KB 2.1 and a built engine) 1993 NSX and the 2nd Gen CRX Si is the ONLY FWD Honda that I love after I drove my friend's cherry 1991 Si with 5k miles on it. Thing was so spacious and much lighter than the NSX, which is pretty light already.
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 an 88 hatchback with a non-V SOHC JDM ZC and for whatever reason that thing spanked b-series on more than one occasion.
Love it. The CRX IS A ABSOLUTE MISSLE OF A HATCH
Anything Honda Si was super amazing....
Had an Si in high school and absolutely loved that car
This was my first car and only lasted me a year. I want another one now that i can afford the repairs lol
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.

I've wanted one of these my whole life looks and sounds so sick
Great… the Honda bug has reignited in me! Haha love this build!
Haha sorry
I liked the ef hatchback. Same but different. Great era
Amazing CRX build! That color really suits it. Awesome 👌
That is incredibly clean
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❤
One of the best Honda ever made. I had one in red ‘91 Si
Dude reminds me of Pai Mei!
Those seats are nice!
90 CRX HF (white) with carbon hood & JMD lighting in the front.
Integra type R motor.
JDM Si tranny (cable clutch).
Full CRX Si interior.
Volk wheels
Slammed on Koni shocks & Tien coilovers. Was just starting to build the motor and get set up for motorcross…
Let my brother in law borrow it, warned him to be careful when VTEC kicked in. He was racing a C5 Vette in the rain and put it into a tree. He was okay but the car was totaled. Insurance gave me hardly anything for it compared to thousands I had invested into the project…
Lesson learned and never built a car again. Buy a nice car that comes the way you want it and enjoy it for what it is. In the end, saves you a lot of headaches in the long run…
But it sure was fun while it lasted👊
Good times in the early 2000s with the CREX.
I daily my 1990 CRX Si since 2006.
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.
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.
One of my favourite cars, super rare also i never see them driving around.
Very nice old-school Honda. Tasteful mods. Wonderful car. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks man, appreciate that.
My uncle had a yellow one, awesome!!
The best of both worlds 😊
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.
I had a yellow crx si. Loved that car.
I always preferred the 1998 Si Civic coupes.
I knew a lot of people who turned the standard Civic hatches into drag-cars.
There was a guy named Chris Miller who had a perfomance shop in NY called NRG-Tech and he had the fastest front-wheel hatch Civic in his class at the time. He was running high 8's in the quarter mile at the time I believe.
I knew people with trick CRX's too. My brother's best friend did, and my brother had the last Integra before the RSX.
Had a ’91 Si with only 87k back in 2007. One of my favorites. Loved the lack of power-steering!
Absolute work of art
The sexiest Honda ! Period! 2nd is the 1995 Honda Accord V6 in burgundy with gold trim!
Looks and sounds like plenty of fun!
Awesome build.
Great, GREAT car. Cool scooter too ❤
2 seaters are not a compromise. No back seats is one of the reasons for buying a 2 seater.
Good looking Rexasaurus, glass roof is the cherry. ❤
I used to have an ‘89 EF Hatch, and an ‘87 Si. For that generation that is.
My 1st car. Worked at a BBQ restaurant in Missouri to pay my Dad back for my 1985 Honda CRX! That fucker meant the world to me.
Clean car, clean beard! 2 thumbs up my man!
Thanks brother! Appreciate that! X2 😅
Beautiful in every way
Bro should do what I did and lose the glass on the highway and have it fly into the ditch and then order a lexan replacment. Lighter and stronger than glass.
Perfect car. I would daily this
Great video Marcus!
Thanks pduffy83usa! 🤝
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.
Cool AF! Always wanted one of these
Had one; same color! Miss it; super fun car!
This thing wil be worth alot of money in the future
Dat sound though.. very crisp
Absolutely phenomenal car 👍
