Trust me when I say that a Honda CRX with 600
horsepower would beat everyone in the new Netflix series:
"HYPERDRIVE" Its mostly about power to weight ratios
Its all motor
Honda Civic: top 5 most reliable car and/or top 5 fastest car.
Honda Power.
Power of dreams
do u even drive a car?? hondas are shit. sounds like a race car and slow asf
@@jhondiick4202 someone got beat by a Honda 💀💀
@@jhondiick4202 doesn’t matter cause they’d still smoke you
I always thought that the CRX was a really cool looking car. I think that they should bring it back to market and use all that they've learned since the last models.
The S2000 is essentially the return of the CRX
This is an epic race with the CRX facing that R33 GT-R...like some David and Goliath racing type of joint...
EF Civics rock building one to keep the dream alive. Great video! Thanks for posting.
Before the first Fast and Furious movie came out I was driving a '88 CRX Si with Bill Gude "Bullfrog" camshaft, Jun zc flywheel, header, exhaust, and all the bolt-ons. My little Brother was driving a matching '90 3dr Si with Intergra XSi B16a. My CRX was faster, and I never lost a race to any B series Civic.
@@WisconsinEric The 88 si was super light compared to what the weight said on the sticker and online. Closer to 1850lbs or so no teg could stand a chance with yah😉. They had the best rear suspension also for corners just no disc brakes. Gude made great head packages!
@@justwannabefast546 I had an issue of Sport Compact Car mag from 1998 that had an interview with Oscar Jackson of Jackson Racing. He said the '88 was by far the best year to race due to the rear lower control arms, and he claimed the rear drum brakes were better than the rear disks on '90-'91 models. He won many endurance races in '88 CRXs.
Oscar claimed that the finned aluminum drum brakes from the later Civic vx swapped onto the '88 CRX Si was the path to victory. Lighter weight and better cooling.
My '88 Si had HF fenders and hood swapped. Still steel, but slightly lighter weight that the factory stuff. My old '85 CRX Si had fiberglass hood/fenders from the factory.
The B series Crx is a beast, 150hp double wishbone suspension, weighing about 2,000 pounds
I used to own one, and when my little brother took it for a drive and he asked me "what about crash safety" I told him:
You don't crash, and you're safe
150hp??!?! More like 280hp
@@LuganAki I would love to own one but with an F20B swap 200CV, (that engine was the champ in JTCC and BTCC) on the top of that the CRX, has doublewishbone suspension now add 4 hyperventilated disc brakes, on the 4 wheels and a stiffer suspension, and remove the powersteering and ABS = the ultimate FF .
@@LuganAki it's n/a so it's probably floating around low 200's
@@dilfonicz some n/a 4bangers make 200+hp factory. Wouldn't be surprised if im correct
The skyline was looking 😍😍
That crx was showing out especially to be all motor no turbo love it and since I was overseas it's been a minute since I've seen a kadett much less turbo
00:39 VTEC Just Kicked in Yo!
02:10 VTEC Just Kicked in Yo!
Honda is love!
I had 3 CRX's. 87hf, 87si, and 88 si. My mom had a 90 in England and it was waaaaay faster than the ones they sold in America. I came with a ZC 130 hp (97 kW) engine and a 2+2 seating arrangement.
Those engines were built in england and they're really unreliable compared to the ones built in Japan
ye japanes and europe got much better engines 1.6 compared to 1.3
CRX Sounds Like it's running the B20 LS-VTECH Setup. Serious power band on those setups. This is where they bolt the cylinder head from the B16 engine on to the 2L CRV long block, and of course tuned or remapped ECU.
That crx did pretty good
The crx lost but not by much it was keeping up
That crx is a 600kilos shit.. if you put 4 people in it, you'll see the real-world performance of that engine.. which is really pathetic :)).. Definitely MOST unusable engine in day by day car.. from 800rpm to 4500rpm.. is nothing there, a MTB is way faster :))..
@@paraschivescuoctav3625 woah !!! Ok you sure know the specs on it but chill is all good ...at least here in killafornia
@@tukamote6185 dont listen to that noob, he has no clue
@@Bilbobaggins82242I Know there's always a Mr "know-it-all" I just go along and don't waste my time with the "Experts" on the crx lol
didn't expect the crux to launch that well. would be nice to see the crx awd
2:00
lmao xD that crx launched better then the wrx with awd vs fwd crx xD
Wrx is a gtr
kevin hawley I agree wow hahahahaha can’t wait to tell my friend who has a wax about this hahahahaha I’m getting me a crx
Guy just dont know how to drive it
And both the civic and crx could use wider tires up front with all that power
I have an 88 CRX I just can’t get it running rn
This crx got some balls yaaaaas
💜
Crx in a damn good car, the only think i dont like it its that there is no direction assist so i go for DC2 type R, the double wish bone is used on ferrari and that CRX lightweight chassis is soo well made, and dont forget that enegine that has Vtec kicking hard because its a good old B series and it revs un to 8000 rmp, in EU we got the 150HP model it makes 0-100 in 7.7 sec. Amaizing for an 91' N/A !
I wonder how many tires that Skyline goes through a month.
Also I think I remember reading somewhere that burning rubber before a race actually helps you go faster. Not a drag racer, just like watching races from time to time.
Tires work best (give the best grip) at a certain temp range (varies between brands and composition.
Go little Honda, it shamed a few of em
💜
@Trump Wilson ford? no
CRX💪👏
💜
Any crx that can keep up wit skyline is good wit me
Im no fan of drag racing it’s kinda boring to me but this was awesome lol. What the hell was in that Rexy and Turbo Civic. Oh and I loved the Orange R33 Skyline with the R34 Front End Clip. Great video footage too 🤙🏾‼️
I'm not sure about the setup in the crx, but I believe it's a B20. The turbo civic has a B16 engine with a Precision turbo and is making over 500hp at the wheels on high boost.
I love the last race with the CRX vs the WRX
Though she be but little, she is fierce!
Crx has alotta heart!
CRX was a really cool looking car. I think that they should bring it back to market
At the end of the day, those skyline GT-Rs still dominated though.
But very nice work done by the little crx. Barely got out of the R33 GT-R, then demolished the subaru wrx.
Love my CRX
The hell, that crx tho, sleeper af. 😂
That A6 pulled HARD in the first bit of the race
That crx started before the arm drop. Red light in my book.
I know this is a late reply, but it’s the first movement, not the finished drop. That looked like a perfect launch to me
Great view from where you took the video. Thanks for a good show👌
You're welcome, man! Thanks for your comment
I love how the crx smoked the gtr but doesn’t smoke a less heavier chassis like the EK Hatch
But the smokes ek
Crxs are the lightest
It kinda looks like the CRX jumped the white R33....no shit talking on the car or anything of the sort....Ive been rewatching and that CRX goes just before arm movement...or just a damn good tree
The crx, I'm suspecting has better tires, not a single soul brought the right tires to the event. Everyone had pretty rims. Do they not have drag slicks in the Netherlands?
It would seem to me as a non racer that continuing to run on the rev limiter would be less efficient that simply shifting to the next gear.
The tires are spinning. He waits for the car speed to match the wheel speed then shifts
Honda crx power😍
Wow crx destroyed Godzilla
MANXAN H I wouldn’t call a few feet lead on another car destroying it. 😆
Hahah that gtr was trash!! Might as well of been driving in reverse...
That gtr driver was sleepy or maybe was a stock engine but full of weight..as huge audiosystem and other garbages.
Dont look like skyline,look more like subaru
@@paraschivescuoctav3625 even stock the skyline should dog the hell out of it.... poor driving imo
Nice cars in that area
That orange skyline is an Audi killer
Had one of these when I was a kid man oh man could it ever take a curve peppy thing to sounded great
That r34 GTR must have got a proper racing gearbox or something, the gears changing is much faster than DSG. There are 2 factors that determine who would be the winner are: the tuner of that car and who is driving it.
That little rex put in work
All Motor crx Nice Power !!
My dad had a crx but I love the Honda crx there awesome btw it was a 2 door
3 door
What do you mean
@@peachybleach4352 the hatch is considered a 3rd door! By "definition".
@@peachybleach4352 but yeah all crx's are 2 doors.
I thought they made a 4 door but thx for telling me
Ima buy ona those
Another excellent vid! 👍😃
Thanks bruv! Many more to come, hopefully.
The crx front end looks nice
Guy in the orange skyline straight showin off lol
Stock Audi eats Up Skyline at the start ! :)
Hans-Joachim Götz its not stock
Yeah rwd vs awd, who do you expect to get a better launch?
@@nardoM11 do you know the owner to know this ?
not saying I'm a good driver but does it seem like most of these guys are terrible
They're driving in a straight line
Don-Of-On Rice the guy with the eg civic spun through all of his runs... with that brick for a foot he needs boost by gear. the guy with the bugeye probably didnt want to nuke his transmission resulting in him shifting like paul walker in that opening race.
It's not what you drive, it's how you drive 😂😂
Crx chassis are one of the best tuner platforms. Unfortunately there's not going to be many around years from niw. Luckily I own two.
They all almost on on DOT street tires and a couple slow shifts. The guy in the purple hatch could probably feather it a little easier instead of mashing it to hang
Yup CRX ain't a joke, it's because of that little car that we have another lil beast,..the S2000
Honda is not joke
That skyline though....
Think they would go faster if they stayed off the rev limiter and grabbed more gears
Staying in the rev limiter would be bad on a dry (prepped) track. However, keep in mind the track was wet. So, it's kinda unavoidable to lose traction.
@@LarsMarsCars yup, i realised after a couple mre veiws..and..that little Honda was killer. Great video!
Love how the do a burnout at the back of the water puddle and then drive thru it...lol....
That Audi took off though
It's like watching turtles race each other. Video starts at 2:00
What is in that crx that's mental
"Oh! You have a Godzilla?"
With a smirk....
Godzilla wasn't in this video.
Sad face. Hachi rocku.
2:15???
@@funkworthrollin4959 The R32 GT-R is Godzilla. You can't suddenly bestow it's hard earned race victory and Godzilla moniker on the models that came after.
Note taken. Sir.
Now that the orange skylines wheels are soup..
He still drove around that audi tho
Is it me or the track prep not very good. No one is getting traction. Tires spinning, rev limiter etc. I'm guessing this isn't a designated drag strip?
This is actually a racing circuit (road course), not a drag strip. They just used the main straight of the circuit for dragracing. Also, it was a rainy day so the track was wet. Rain + no prep = no traction. lol
Right on. After I watch video a few times I started wondering if it a road course or just a uniquely set up drag strip. Which then explains no prep. Why would they prep then one straight then track would have prep all over it.
This is the main straight of Zandvoort
What exactly is the crx build? What specs? What bhp?
John Royales McT 1.6 vtec, aftermarket exhaust and air intake. Stripped interiour.
So Lets make a Guess, 170hp on 850 kg ?
I came for the crx, not the other junk
Does anyone know how to shift without riding the rev limiter?
Pat MyGroin what's that😂
Guy in the Audi probably was texting on his phone
Why weren’t they lined up most of the time?
@01:25 now that's how you do a burnout
awesome as fck
i Don’t understand why so many civics?! Yeah they’re nice and cheap to customize. But guys can’t you just take the $10k ur gonna drop Into ur ‘96 civic to get another quarter second off the top and add some variety to the street race life
The heavy a6 allroad is better than the r34, nice
That crx was K20 for sure. Hear the intake?
Nah. B16 forsure
D16ae6
Proof Honda's are not slow ! Yes Maybe a stock Honda is slow because it has less hp and tq compared to other cars but once swapped , turboed or built Honda's can compete with almost anything . I hadn't seen one race a Bugatti but I've seen it all over the place Honda's smoking lambos , Ferraris and even a GTR . Honda's aren't so slow after all but it would be cool if they came with more power stock but hey it's just a 4 cyclinder . I've smoked v6s in my Honda Civic stock internal but w full Bolton's on a b18c type r . Goin k series soon
I love and miss Crx’s. I had ever year of the second gens and models. Si the fun one. The HX and DX were swapped. Such amazing cars and so fun to drive.
I wish Honda would bring it back and not ruin it like the RSX integra.
He is hitting the limiter way to much. Yes i get it so much power and boost... Learn how to use it shifting to the next gear is what makes you go faster not bumping a low gear until the tires stop spinning. I love the car and id like to know info on it but as a racer myself. Hearing that fuel cutoff and excessive loss of boost kills me inside.
That's no regular b series now!
Is it na or turbo?
That CRX owned that R33
That CRX has in a B20 any bets?
For a sec i thought it was gt sport .
The way the skyline was warming his tyres.. Isn't it a gts or gtts instead of a gtr?
Yes it's an R33 GTS-t drift car (rear wheel drive). It has a built RB30DETT engine though
@@LarsMarsCars thanks for clearing that up💪🏻🤙🏻
@@LarsMarsCars just cause of that, subbed..
@@rubencarvalho3517 Thanks, dude. I appreciate it. Welcome to the channel
Was dit afgelopen jaar?
Nee tijdens Automaxx van dit jaar. Alleen het allerlaatste stukje (crx tegen subaru) was van 2017.
Is dit in Nederland?
Ja is op Circuit Zandvoort
The best race are the CRX vs Subaru. CRX Win easy.
It could
wiiththe way that crx was moving and with the fact that it was na i would wager that it wither had a build b series or a h series under the hood
ronnie cason nope.its k series with nitrous
Annnd Honda,s Pocket Rocket does it again
Hate when people drop their arms to start a race. Just use the damn Christmas tree!!!
I’ve never had one that didn’t do 300k the bodies fell apart around the motor would
Sounds like a fuckin lawn mower derby
CRX jumped early.
America does DRAG Hondas best hands down TRACK Hondas are best from Japan
thats what i would do..... build a drag strip on a fucking hill
It's not a dragstrip, and also not on a hill ;p
White r33 needs a driver mod...
Uh...CRX jumped? Why does nobody see this?
Sniff sniff... I smell rice burning
Great crx
💜
Tell em Lars Mars sent ya
In the low of ten?
never count out a tin can with a built motor lol
Gonna do this soon with my 32 :D
