- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2024
- We discuss the short history of the Honda CRX, a car that helped to define the future of FWD hot hatches. We drive and discuss what makes this car unique and yet sad. While there have been better Hondas, this car has the staying power along with the NSX, Integra Type R, and S2000. There are a few aside from the VW Rabbit, and Golf that generated so much excitement.

This was chicken soup for the soul, an enthusiast time-machine. It brought back this nostalgic feeling of driving in the 90's, and when things were simpler. Thank you Mark, Jack and the whole team at Savagegeese - know that all your hard work has not gone unnoticed. Thank you for continuing to pursue this creative outlet, for ~18mins today, I got to relive the golden age.
I agree completely. Wonderful video, guys. You are the best when it comes to the technical side of car analyses. We owned an '88 CRX and it was a GREAT car! Wish they still made them today--had to settle for a Cayman instead...
well said. well said
It was certainly something special that just is simply gone with today’s models.
REAL CHICKEN 🐔 .
Well said but I could be wrong I think jack and mark are the whole team?!
My brother in law owned a CRX in the early 90’s. He raced it in SCCA and loved it. Sold it when he started a family. He won’t admit but he cried a little after watching this.
For the sake of humanity, please never quit making these types of videos a few times a year. The tremendous effort you put into editing and production blows all other channels out of the water. Keep up the good work!
I can't get enough of HOW GOOD this car sounds like. Like, for real, it's legit one of the best in-cabin sound I've ever heard on a road car
here is my dream dc2 with spoon exhaust th-cam.com/video/sVexnLApTdU/w-d-xo.html was so addictive
For real, it's even better in person.
and the cable based gear shifts...unmatched to this day. Never have I driven a car - even from Honda - which had a comparable feel to it.
This may not turn out to be your most viewed videos, but I do so appreciate you making these.
I’ve had two last gen CRX Si’s. It’s very hard to explain to people just how awesome these cars are. Great video, Mark.
Same here, almost. I had an early CRX and then stepped up to an Si. What a fantastic momentum machine.
If you could completely overhaul and uprade/update them, what would you do? Sound deadening etc.
I learned manual on a '89 CRX and '91 civic... fun little cars with lawnmower engines that weighed nothing. Rode like shit but they were a blast to throw around.
It was the first "fast" car i was ever in as a kid. My uncle had a B20V swapped CRX Si. Made 172whp and that was SUPER FAST in a car that weighed 2,050 lbs.
It just sucks its so hard to find parts for now. I felt scared driving it on the street.
That B-series VTEC crossover! Will never get old.
I absolutely love the way this car sounds. Perfectly balanced induction and exhaust note. I would never get tired of hearing that little Honda sing.
We sometimes take these content for granted. Thanks for reminding us we can’t. Look forward to another year of honest and engaging content!
Thank you for the currency! Its the magic of media, music, videos etc. If you can forget things for a bit, then the "video" in this case did its job.
Hit it right on the head. CRX was my taproot car, and I still have one sitting in my garage so that I could share that pure, visceral experience with my kids. Thank you for looking both forwards and backwards in our automotive landscape. Drive on…
The CRX was one of my grail cars in high school and college. Missed out on it, but managed to recapture some of the vibe with an NA Miata and my current CRZ. As always, appreciate the perspectives and stunning visuals you bring us. Your channel is a streaming museum, past and present!
cool; you have a CRZ? I've always appreciated how small that car was and despite the funky looks, I kinda liked it. Is your a manual?
I lived next to a honda dealer in the nineties and drooled on those every time i walked by to and from school. Now, I’m the lucky owner of an S2000 since 14 years 😊
Porsche Boxster 986 99 RWD mid engine puts the same smile on your face from driving! It was the first of its kind being water cooled and the last of its kind being a true 2Dr coupe w the mid engine design(brings back the feeling of a go cart but for adults)with high revving lively motor 2.5 liter 6cylinder with enough torque to move the coupe with endless power and perfect balance + handling all while making the driver feel super connected to the car and connected to the track/road. It’s a car that creates experiences and memories that live for ever. Not many cars do that do this day so shout out to all the 90’s cars that truly brought innovation and timeless driving experiences through their unique ingenuity and impeccable engineering and craftsmanship ⚙️👍
(Less computers/more RAW fun!)
As someone looking to relive the driving experience of cars like CR-X SiR someday, it’s hard not to donate to content like this. Appreciate all the efforts behind it.
You guys are totally in a league of your own when you make these special videos focusing on a retro car or a particular brand. There is nothing else on TH-cam that communicates the passion behind these cars quite like this.
Yes they're amazing
Jason Cammisa with Hagerty is on a similar level imo.
@@spaceoner1 That’s true. But he does have a huge team behind him
Mark is a legend on Reddit. Always get lots of thumb ups whenever I post remarks and reviews he makes. Got damn it, the Savagegeese listens to his audience! I will say this again, the quality he makes, the work he puts into his reviews are far better than all the major corporate car reviewers. Being short, bald, and having comedic sense is cool again. It's beyond cool it's the Savagegeese.
I want retro and he's delivered.
I've said it before on here, I'll say it again; why this channel doesn't have 1M+ subscribers is beyond me! The cinematography alone, (NEVERMIND the FANTASTIC AUDIO production!) is worth it. This is a dream car of mine since I was 10 years old, thanks, Gran Turismo!
To EXPERIENCE a tribute to this gem of a car warms the cockles of my soul. So.....Thank you.
Now I need to find your Patreon since you DiDn'T LiNk iT!!!
The focus for a creator should never be subscribers. Not sure why anyone would even mention that. Focus on quality and don’t be a bean counter and worry about numbers
Owned a CRX Si for many years back in the 90s. Was absolutely the most fun car I ever owned. This brought back so many memories of pushing the car to its limits and smiling the whole time.
Thanks for all the effort put into the CRX project! Very excited for the NSX project!
You and me both!
I love the retro reviews. I'd love to hear peoples preferences as to why they went VW GTI over Honda or Honda over VW.
Would also love to know how this guy prevented this from getting stolen..
Reliability.
This is an imported JDM model that gets kept in a warehouse lol
@@TermlessHGW My buddy had a 99 Civic Si. He drove it like he stole it all the time and it took the daily beatings like a champ.
Not living in the hood
Way things are going in the car industry, SG’ll have to pivot to a vintage car channel to have anything fun to review.
It's great to see Scott in this video. I'm glad to see that he was able to pick up this little gem. I used to work for H&R, and in an industry that is full of questionable and unsavory characters, Scott is one of the most professional, yet down to earth guys you will meet. I'm glad to see that King Motorsports is still thriving.
He tends to cycle his 'gems' thru the show room, I enjoy them when I stop by on occasion.
My first new car was a 1988 CRX Si and man did I love that car. Unfortunately, five years or so into ownership the car was hit from behind and totaled. Thank you for making this video- you brought back some great memories!
That's great man, what a great first car to have! I remember seeing a lot of CRX cars on the road back in the day, always liked them.
This video is perfection. I have been driving Hondas since just before I graduated college in 1990. I started driving Hondas because they were safe, dependable, FUN TO DRIVE, and financially accessible. Even the base 1991 Civic 4-speed coupe I drove through medical school, for which the passenger side door mirror was optional, was fun to drive. And the CRX SiR and NSX were dreams to me back then. Now I own a NSX and dream about owning at least a CRX Si. Thank you for a reminder of what Honda’s Golden Era was about.
5 years ago I used to follow every single TH-cam car channel out there. Remember drive?! Today I only follow hour's. Everything else has become landscape. I have a lot of respect and admiration for you, and I would love to meet you person one day. Thanks for all the hard work you put on these. Your channel deserves far more recognition...
Thanks, maybe we will run into each other at some point.
@@savagegeese i wonder if gordon murray is planning on making his own electric cars, hes doing contract work for now. id think he would do so, in light of gma t43 plan, maybe hed make a handling sporty version of 2023 prius sort of car for cheap cost of lviing and balance between combustion and battery, the every mans every day car, where pedals that push back to discourage over powering and over braking, steerind and chassis and seats that communicate how near grip limit car is, maybe a little gforce meter that shows up when near grip limit, light weight high speed momentum preserving geometries ,... all would help maximize longveity of fuels, tires, brakes, battery, and make car crash safe for people inside and outside car, by lightweighting and energy absorption and making driver pay attention to driving enviroment by making hypermiling perfection fun.
The intro was spot on. I rode in a 6th gen Accord from the time I was a baby till I could drive. I have no doubt that's why I love Hondas. Thank you guys for the videos you make, they are incredible and unmatched by any other TH-cam channel.
My first two cars were CRX Si's and I was too young to appreciate what they were. Now, looking back, especially after watching this video it brings back all the fun and nostalgia of those days. Thanks for making a great video Mark!
Are you one of the reasons a small amount of these still exists?
@@aycarambas most definitely
I had a 91 Si too back in HS. I wish I kept it.
Those are pretty sweet first cars.
@@satorified1612 I remember at the time that weren’t because they so different
Loved that closing sentence! Always loved CRX's as I raced with them back in the day at Blackhawk in my 1st gen RX7 ITA car and then my NA Spec Miata. Thanks and happy New Year! PS - how much emotion from this CRX is captured by your new type r?
Send me $50 too I drive a accord
😂 you’re not Savagegeese.
Spent $50, and didn't get a like or thank from Savage Geese. 😂
@@testosteroneinc.3800 Which is good! They do enough for me as is. Hopefully they got to enjoy the holiday weekend like many of us did.
I drive a Hyundai Tucson Hybrid
Guys, this video gave me chills. I used to race a CRX in the Firestone Firehawk Endurance Championship back in 1991 / 92. You nailed this review and brought back so many memories from 30 years ago. Thank you! and Happy New Year. Keep up the great work!
You probably remember the Olds Achieva SCX then from racing, I had one, I miss it.
@@BreakStuffClub absolutely!
This channel is amongst the best not just because you review cars so thoroughly and passionately, it's because of who you both are and your mix together. You're true car nerds like many of us here and listening to you share your passion on cars is something we will never get tired of!!!! Today's episode especially. I remember being envious of people who had them in highschool and I am still envious today. Having this personal and high production visit into the world I could never obtain is a gift. Thanks to you both so much, I appreciate you!
My 1st car was an 88 crx si. I learned to drive through autocrossing it. still love this car.
I remember a friend in HS had this, and we were just getting into cars. We stripped it out, cut off the exhaust, and thought we were the coolest kids on the planet. Looking back, I hate myself HA, but the CRX was such an important car to me growing up. Modifying it, going to car meets, getting in trouble, making memories, etc, all a big part of me growing up.
If I had a time machine I'd go back in time and slap you guys in the face for making such an annoyingly loud car
Sorry I just hate that bs
@@Highlander1432 I’d have to slap you back for telling me that though.
I owned an early model CRX HF followed by a CRX Si back in the 1980’s. They were both fantastic cars - the HF got 50+ mpg, up to the low 60’s on long highway trips. An interesting thing about the HF was that the wheels were made from magnesium - so true “mag” wheels. It wasn’t exactly fast, but in the ‘80’s very few cars were, and this thing was just so efficient.
They both were exceptionally comfortable offering so much leg room I could actually get the seat back far enough that I was stretching to push the clutch in and I’m no small guy (6’ 2”). I remember one summer trip when I took the Si up to Canada and then ran it back through the UP of Michigan comfortably cruising at 100mph. It’s one of the vehicles I wish I had kept in storage for posterity sake.
This nostalgic and thoughtful film is more personal as I marshalled at SCCA events when Jason Saini was racing Hondas for King. Great trackside memories.
I'm 48 and my first car back in 93 was a used 89 Civic Si Hatch. My best friend(and still so to this day after my wife) also bought a used 90 CRX Si. To say as guys in our early 20's that we loved these practical yet a hoot to drive hard cars that were reliable beyond anything else fun available at the time, and still wouldn't cost a fortune to fuel up, would be an understatement!. I still judge every other car I've owned and driven, many much more powerful, against those cars. Sure it may very well be nostalgia that clouds my opinion, but very few measure up in sheer fun. Hell the reason my daily driver commuter car is a 2012 Fit Sport, is because as much as I thought I wanted a Civic Si in 2013 when I bought my Fit, as soon as I drove the Fit Sport, it was the closest thing overall feel to my 89 Civic Si; I could ring out and have a blast in the corners, without getting myself in trouble like I did with my short lived MKV GTI.
As an 80's and 90's kid I loved these cars. I was fortunate enough to occasionally drive my buddies Mitsubishi GT 3000 VR4 and then I fell down the rabbit hole of JDM. Much love for the passion projects! I love when you make a video like this, it kinda seems like a mini documentary. w00t!
Dang man, you dropped $25 on this comment?
@@wccrispy Yus. Supprt the channel my dude.
I love my 95 VR4. It’s not nearly as light and engaging as the Hondas and other sports cars of the era but the GT car weight and refinement make it less stressful for occasional commutes to work and road trips without the fear I’d be totally obliterated by a Tahoe that forgot to look when changing lanes.
Just like mark said it’s the era we grew up in the 90s we’re special for cars all the way from American to Japanese even german but it’s why I’m a huge jdm fan my dad has so many Hondas after being a muscle car era guy into his last 92 fox body mustang but since the 80s just Hondas
Another masterpiece. The CRX Si was the gateway drug to a ‘97 ITR for me. Scott Zellner sold parts to me along the way. Your coverage and understanding of the Golden Era of Honda is unmatched. I share these videos with my son, as they substantiate all the lore I’ve passed on to him in ways nothing else can. Thank you.
I also had a Jap import CRX SiR followed by a 97 ITR!! Those were the days. I never knew what had been done to the crx back in Japan, but it was stupid fast - when I got the Integra I realised it must have been something special because it wasn't quite as quick, I was gutted.
Crushing it this year, as always, thanks for all the great content.
Thank you for all of your hard work! The content is always awesome!
The rush of nostalgia was a smack in the face. I had CRX si for a short time and I miss that car dearly. The experience and joy of driving was unmatched. You have a cinematic gift which we all love watching! Never stop.
Same, one of my favorite cars I ever owned was a '90 CRX with a B16 and I changed out the trailing arm and front lower suspension arm bushings for Mugen units, what a response machine! Too bad the car just rusted out and I ended up with a DC2 next.
@KeitheR81 He starts the video by saying this car was fun, light etc etc and mentions affordable and attainable……🙂
I remember these very well when I was a teen and began driving in 91 in South Africa .
These were definitely not affordable to the average South African as Honda was pitched at the high end of the Japanese market in SA. Honda was sold through Mercedes Benz SA and they had price tags to match the premium Merc brand ….by that I mean much higher than Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi and Nissan, whom they were competing with.
Honda specs in SA were premium so I guess you were paying for what you got.
I never did get to own a CRX but I did manage get myself a Honda Ballade 160i Luxline 94 model which was a lovely car.
Did you rice it out, crash it, turn it into an endless project and sell it to the scrapyard?
Love it. Took me way back. It was always a Prelude for me, but the CRX was always one of the specials to me. I'd love to see you do something similar on a 3rd, 4th, and/or 5th gen Prelude. They need to be remembered.
Preach brother. Lest we forget our long-lost brethren
I’m with you. I had a 93 Si, 93 VTEC, 96 VTEC and a 98. Preludes are the best
@@19hundoc47 95SE, 94Si (still have this one, still going strong with 265k)
a long time ago my Prelude SH, just under 200WHP, all motor Hpower!
th-cam.com/video/wlYBrl73bXw/w-d-xo.html&si=EnSIkaIECMiOmarE
Preludes are fun coming from someone that is schizophrenic
Great way to end the year! These videos show that there are a labour of love. The hard work you guys put in is incredible. I hope you still enjoy making these for the future! Amazing videos as always!
What a perfect video to end the year on! Thanks for all that you do to provide all this quality content for us!
Love seeing these older cars given the same high quality treatment as the new ones you review. I was too late to the game of lightweight Hondas but I still lusted after them. It’s such a shame this period has passed and cars like these aren’t made anymore, but it begs the question of whether Honda even fully knew why these are so beloved.
@Alice You are so right. I look at modern Honda and despair.
The sound was amazing. The feeling of the sound was even better in the experience. That was the gold
I have learned to appreciate a lot of cars thanks to this channel, always with quality content.
Masterpiece and pure dedication. Thanks for the creations you’re producing.
I love the passion in Scott's voice when he talks about the possibilities he witnessed 1st hand. I've been asleep at the wheel but I'm starting to get why people are such fans of legacy Honda. Loving the sound at the redline.
15:28 You do this because you love it. You love cars you have that passion as most of your loyal viewers do. We in turn respect you for it. Your doing what many of us would but don't want to. Hell I've thought of this as well years back but didn't want to suck the passion out with what your doing. I can tell its WORK. I know its work. Thank you for being the person we cant. Seriously man. *stands up* 👏👏
A sincere thanks for both this amazing video on a car I forgot how much I missed, and because I just started my own channel and can now appreciate every thing you said, including how great a job this is! Thank you for your incredible work over the years!
Thank you, Mark and Jack for reviewing such a nostalgic and amazing little Honda. You all continue to do amazing work and I appreciate you more than I can say.
Savage Geese. The only Men I Trust.
Perfection. Thank you Mark and Jack, and Scott for this one!
Thank you for making these videos. No one comes close to the production value you put into each project.
Back in the early 90s, JDM SiR CRXs ruled the small capacity class in amateur motorsport in my neck of the woods (Sydney Australia). They were so far ahead of any other hot hatch or oldschool small rwd car, I had a Corolla FX GT and later an AE86, and I just couldn’t catch these guys. IIRC B16A CRXs won their class in the state runoffs for all of the early 90s. I love these things and would love to have one: but everyone who owned one in period loved them too, and they were all used up a long time ago. Awesome vid, awesome car.
That car actually sounds SO good. I've never been a fan of the B-series drone, but that engine specifically sounds great. Whatever they did with it really worked.
With a good cat back, b series sound great imo. Especially when you open it up.
i think it's just valve springs and a replica mugen exhaust setup.
You have never been a fan of the B series? How can you NOT be a fan of the B series??? It’s a nirvana of a engine.
if a be series has drone, it's not done right. Lots of raspy cans out there. a decent exhaust and an intake and b's h's f's k's hell even d series sound good
@@spencersgarage the thing about Hondas is that all exhaust sound range from shit to meh...... They have great intake sound but I never heard a Honda exhaust sound good....... Funny enough Honda fanboys think they're car exhaust sound like a McLaren MP4 or a Quattro S1.........
Thanks for the Honda content, they're slowly getting the respect they deserve and you're helping!
Thank you Mark and Jack for some truly incredible videos this year.
Thanks so much for this! Talk about memory lane. As a guy who graduated high school in 1991, I grew up with a love of this car (and pretty much all Honda's in the late 80s/early 90s)!
The late 80s through early 00s was indeed peak honda design on many many fronts. I mean the Acura Legend (gen II) came out in 1989 and that car looks great today! Same goes for many Hondas of that era.
From the cinematic camera shots, to the unbiased and funny commentary you guys do a great job. Keep the quality content coming and Happy New Year!
My favorite of all your videos and that’s quite a statement. Thanks!
Your passion for what you do definitely shows in the final product. We all appreciate your efforts more than you know.
Love the CRX and thank you for all that you do! Great work!
Pure excitement every time you guys post a new video…..even if I don’t like a car. Appreciate the effort and time spent to provide details, fun, and perspective. 💪
Been watching your videos for the last 7-8 years if not even longer then that and enjoy the content you release!! Keep up the awesome work you guys do!! 👽🛸
These videos are honestly so well done every time. The passion, the sound, the lengths you go to get engineers involved. You should be getting an Oscar nomination for some of these documentaries, for real
You and Jack do a great job Mark, thank you, much appreciated❗️👍😎
Love this! My friend had a lowered CRX Si in maybe '87 that cornered on rails and was just that thrilling, I can still feel it. So much fun... Love the direction you are going..
Thank you for your hard work making this channel. The quality of the videos is consistently outstanding. Absolutely love the Honda content especially.
At the end of 2022 I'm thankful for this channel and these two dudes for being as close to authentic as you can get in this era.
Came for the CRX, the tech bit at the end was icing on the cake! Those Dell Precision laptops are my go-to when a customer needs something powerful and portable, and I'm not getting paid to say that. Even the used ones from like 2015 match or exceed modern consumer desktops in terms of power. It's nuts. Great video.
Great video love these cars your style is informational without being boring keep up the good work
Could've watched an hour of this. Love your videos, keep it up!
Owning an EF Civic myself, I can relate to many things you mentioned.
Thanks guys. I've been watching you guys since your FRS build videos. The production quality and presentation of knowledge has grown so much. Keep up the great work. Looking forward to your new videos in 2023. Happy new year.
Another wonderful video, well done guys! Looking forward to the next NSX installment.
Thank you guys. Another great one!
This is incredible. I used to see these on the road when I was a little kid, and thought they looked so cool. And when I got old enough to learn more about them, I didn't see them anymore and thought I might have hallucinated the whole thing. Learning what they're called and their history is some great closure, and I really hope this kind of thing comes back.
And Dell really knows how to make a solid work laptop lol it's a good thing you specified one of those instead of their desktops!
You brought back a lot of great memories. When I was a teen and through my twenties i owned over a dozen Hondas many of which were CRX's. I'm now 40 and can say the love for these cars really shaped a large part of my future, including my career. Thank you 👍
Thank you for the excellent content you and your team publish. I've learned so much over the past couple of yrs. I'd like to wish you and your loved ones a safe and happy new year. May 2023 bring you continued success and growth.
What a great video to close the year! Thank you Mark.
This channel is really something man. I found it when I was shopping cars, after buying I kept watching because of the quality and chemistry of Mark and Jack, and yet these classics documentaries add a whole other element. Truly one of a kind content.
You guys have so much passion for these videos and the shear production quality. You're on the level of Clarkson, May, and Hammond for my car enthusiast entertainment (Collab???) Thank you for the years of entertainment and hopefully many more to come.
Really special video here from someone who grew up having fun with Hondas. Nothing but joy. I like the points about visibility and how the golden era just puts a smile on your face. I had a 90 CRX SI briefly and I wish I still had it. I can't wait for spring to enjoy my 98 ITR again.
this was such a perfect video, nothing could have been said better and I had my volume at MAX while that vtec was rippin! thank you so much for such a great lunch break video!
Thank you savagegeese for making these amazing films and being very honest, You have developed trust with viewers like no other channel, the video quality is amazing(The Integra Type R video is an unforgettable experience for me personally), and You make the most entertaining as well as actually useful real-world experience information on even the most boring cars which most people actually buy and can afford.
Might be my fave video yet from you guys; owning an EG6, it’s so hard to understand how amazing these “commuter” 90s Hondas were. And you guys were able to show it.
Thank you for reviewing the car that got me into cars. This was brilliant to watch. Thanks once again.
Thank you for putting out such high quality, informative, and even beautiful works for free for all to see and learn.
Excellent video Mark! This is exactly how I feel about the best years for Acura 90's into the early 2000's. Timeless classics which were truly ahead of their time and highly sought after by enthusiast. Wish I was closer to you guys. Would love for guys to do a video on my Acura (3rd gen TL, 6MT with comptech goodies). Happy new year to you, your family and crew!
Great car!
Love all the videos you guys do, but as a die-hard Golden Era enthusiast these are definitely my favs! Keep it up gents! All the best for 2023!
Fantastic video, you can genuinely see the excitement in Scott's eyes as he describes the CRX and yearning of past automotive engineering. The narrative offered in your videos consistently offers a much needed breath of fresh air in the current landscape on TH-cam.
Thank you so much for this unique and valuable content. I’ve been a non-contributing viewer since the start and will help to support Savagegeese asap! It’s interesting that while in my 20s in the early 90s there were so many cars I wanted but couldn’t afford (Supra, RX7, 300zx), and now that I can afford almost anything, there’s nothing I desire except for the LC500. Full circle I guess.
If someone is looking for a fun front wheel drive car, the 7th gen 1999-2005 toyota celica is definitely one you should look at, the 190hp one (180 in US) revs to around 8300rpm and is still pretty light at around 1150kg , they need lowering just because they are too high standard but they are a lot of fun and really good handling, even better with a good diff
Sick Car, sick video. Mark & Jack - thanks for a great 2022. Looking forward to 23.
Every video y’all ever made, take this to heart, has been epic and the way all car reviews should be done, by car people. Thank you from South Texas
My first car (regular CRX ED9 '89MY) . This brings back good memories. It had lots of grip for the time and you really had to keep your commitment to the gas pedal mid corner. I always assumed that this lift-off oversteer was simply due to chopping weight off the back compared to a regular Civic.
Thanks for this awesome vid! Here in Europe, the CRX was also available with the B16 engine. I own one. Our version lacks an LSD (which I think the JDM version has), but I've never missed it because there is no torque anyway :) Furthermore, it has no power steering and no ABS. I absolutely love this vehicle.
The way you overlay glorious engine sounds on the video, your cuts, the emotion when you drive, the track footage, the discussions that take place actually IN THE CAR, the underbody footage... all this shows you actually love great cars,, you get us. And that alone is worth respect. But your videos are even much more than that. Thank you Mark. Thank you Jack.
I love these videos focusing on older machinery, not only because of your superb production but because you so clearly enjoy and are enthusiastic for the pure driving experience that's nearly unavailable in the new market. Watching you get to drive something that you actually want to be in is just the best.
Thanks for the continued effort!
The CRX will always be a special car to me. It was the catalyst for many of my friends and myself to motorsports as a whole. I wouldn't have ever owned a 91 civic hatch and learned how to rebuild an imported ZC engine (from block) and drive it to Road America, if it wasn't for my buddy tinkering with a CRX he bought from my old neighbor. Thanks for this video and honoring such a great car.
Never thought I'd see an EF on my favorite car channel! I had a 91 with a swapped B16, everything about this was pure nostalgia. You guys rock.
EF is a Civic….
@@spencersgarage they used it for the CRX as well. Actually if you go to @7:40 you can actually see the VIN plate with "EF8"
