If there is one company the car scene can’t help but acknowledge, it’s Honda. While Honda has always managed to make affordable small displacement motors, they did have a trick up their sleeve. Making its debut in 1983 and changing the face of motor sports, today we are going to be talking about you wanting to own a Honda CRX

You have to race all of your cars
Justin Gadell was with his Crx at the cars an coffee down here 😯 wow he's in ur video just wow
Hopefully the gods have heard my request and repent ... SO YOU WANT A
BUICK GRAND NATIONAL
I own one from '89. It's like small fighter plane for the road.
I drove an ‘88 Crx Si with a 5-speed manual for about 2 years and holy crap was that an awesome car. I still miss that car and it’s been over 10 years since I had it now.
Fun fact, the CRX has delivered more pizzas than any other car.
I can dig it 😂🤘
but who doesn't want pizza
@@monstercrx Vegan
Can confirm, delivered pizza in a Canadian winter in a B swapped CRX.
@donutmedia
WHAT’s it like to own? Let me tell you.
I bought a Yellow 1989 crx SI when I was 22 years old and I still have it today. So 22 years ago. For sure one of the best FWD cars ever made. The light weight and double wishbone suspension make for a super fun drive. The 108 hp might not seem like much but it feels way more powerful thanks to how lite it is. But it also means its noticeably slower with a heavy passenger sitting next to you. To truly enjoy it, You need to drive it like you stole it. You have to shift it at 7000 rpm so the engine stays in its sweet spot around 4000 rpm when that needle drops. Dont worry you wont break it. The engine is bullet proof. I have been trying to kill it for 22 years so I could have a good reason to slap in a VTEC and it just wont die. The 1.6 liter engine really improves with an intake and exhaust. The sound is quite nice on a cold morning too.
I drove it in winter for 6 years, its a really good car in snow but the body rust will destroy the car. I ended up fixing it up and made it all fast and furious with a kit and it never saw another winter again. If you find one, check the rear quarters , sun roof pane and rocker panels for rust. Honda no longer supports parts so get on facebook and join as many CRX groups as possible. We help each other. Except for MUGEN stuff because fanatics drove up the prices. The car is very practical for how small it is. Plenty of room for 2 people. The plastics are very cheap and brittle . Look at the climate control...is it cracked near the dial? ...No! ....good that is a 600$ part on EBAY because they all broke. It will still function because its a honda.
The CRX not very safe by todays standards. There is no Airbags, no side impact beams, no ABS, no stability, no traction control and very small crumple zone. Its also fragile. The front end cant take to much damage or the car will be totalled. There is no fancy gadgets either, mine dosent even have A/C. No electric windows, no power doors, no cup holders, no power seats, etc. Because its so spartan it makes it even more of a drivers car so thats a good thing. Even the center console is slightly angled towards the driver.
If you get one, get ready. Everyone will tell you they had one when they were younger and wished they never sold it. You will get offers to buy it on street corners. Volkswagen’s far and wide will speed up behind you so they can instigate a race or just show off the ridiculous popping of they’re exhaust. Press the gas hard ...let go...POP,POP,POP,POP,POP...DO IT AGAIN ...You will see people taking pictures of you with they’re phones but trying to not make it look like thats what they are doing. Its a car loved by many so embrace it. The flat but makes em go nuts. You cant park it in the street. It will get stolen. No it wont..YES IT WILL.! Thieves love this car too.
Bottom line, I love my crx. I have made my funeral arrangements and it specifies to make the hole bigger and bury me in my CRX.
Where are you supposed to park it then? 😂
worth the read haha
@@oppoaction , park it where you can see it from inside. If you take it to the store. Be quick. If you have a garage use it. The car is super easy to break into seriously. Even if they dont intend to steal it. I caught people circling it ..touching it.
I’m checking an 89 crx si tomorrow and I’m beyond excited
Fun fact my Crx was stolen:(
maaann i’m glad my uncle kept his si crx, these cars be rare af to find clean like his is. no rust, no dents on the panels, original motor, original paint, i hope he never sells it
That’s bad ass!
Wish my mom still had her 300zx 😔
Is the car 1 solid color ?
@@mrred5260 yessir oem paint, it’s all black and it’s in mint condition
If he sells it, u buy it
For April fools day you need to do:
so you want a Prius
Or a reliant robin 🤣
Nobody wants a prius...lol
@@3v4761 r/whoosh
In Papatine Voice : Dew It !!!
i’ve seen some pretty clean prius tho very few but still
Bro my dad had a honda crx that he raced for most of his younger life he loved to race in all these different circuits in the sacramento stockton and lodi california areas but he ended up selling it when he married my mom but jump ahead almost 20 years later and he has my 2 sisters my 3 brothers and me, his 16 year old son who loves cars, and we now own 3 crx cars 2 civics a honda accord a toyota van and an old school chevy truck. 😂😂 amazing! Honda Life
How's owning a CRX? spare parts difficult to find / difficult to work on?
@@PyReDZN parts here in the netherlands are easy to find, since they all rot away, people part them out...
And theyre not harder than other cars to work on, just rusty, very very rusty
@@PyReDZN personally i dont find them hard to work on but my dad has been showing me how to work on them since i was 6 or 7 and parts wise we dont have many issues because there are a couple junk yards in our area with lots of hondas and i dont know if this applies to all of the crx and civic models but out of the models we own most of the parts can fit into each car kind of like legos because the front ends of the car are almost exactly the same
Ayy 209 gang
@@insertnamehere5490 yup. Born and raised 209
Even though I already have a CRX I'm still gonna watch.
How much for it?
@@thronewalker1153 8000
Hey so I am looking to buy one and there is an si model near me and they are asking 3800. I don’t really know mich about cars but I like this one. What do you think i should do?
@@luismartinez6595 how many miles? Do you have a link for an add
@@Honda_sev it has around 130,000 miles on it
Ah yes, the days when Honda was loved by all, nowadays everyone just hates everything they do.
nowadays people have just been tricked and manipulated into loving low quality trash moneypit shit without even expecting anything better.. its sad really
The hate has died down a lot tbh. 370z/g37 and subarus are the new honda hate
@@aleksiesko885 Agreed. The new Type R and Accord Sport are seriously good vehicles. Honda has never stopped making good cars. People just want them to be something they aren't. Honda makes reliable, fun cars, that last. Plain and simple. And to all those guys who say "front wheel drive is terrible," but still like the GTI... You're making yourself look silly.
@@Maelstrom8 I'm in full agreement, first car I ever drove was a 2005 Honda CR-V and is one of the most reliable pieces of sheet metal and plastic I've ever handled. People have to understand the approach that Honda is taking when they're coming up with new vehicles to put on the market.
@@bongboyz6468 who hates 370/g37?
Loved all my CRX's, my first gen got 50mpg when gas was $1 a gallon
I absolutely love my first gen! It’s an SI so mpg isn’t nearly as good but cammed and basic bolt ons it’s a ton of fun.
@@mannyorozco842 ahh a fellow red pepper watching this video 🤣
i read an article about a guy who eco-modded a crx hf and got 118mpg
Here in Greece, it is 3 euros a litre, I hope we had more Honda crx cars and lower taxes
I have owned mine for over 5 years now. I can safely say that out of all the other cars I have driven, the CRX will always be my favorite. There's just something about it that brings a smile to my face every time I drive it. It's definitely not the fastest thing, but you don't need speed to have fun.
What other cars have you driven?
dailying a crx ee8 at the moment, best investment i've made so far
Sweet. Life is to short to drive boring cars lol. I love all Japan whips 🇯🇵 especially the 90s
Yeah Its the best era of cars, all the comfort you need and still so simple that you can fix almost everything yourself
Mine has been my daily since 2014. The car had body and paint done and unfortunately got the front rearranged in 18. I still love it to death tho
Nice,dailying a ek hatch
I drive an 89 wide body crx wit a b18b and trust me for mg 1st car its fun
As a crx mugen owner I can confidently say, Get one.
The mugen crx looks so good
You're a lucky man!
I’m helping my little brother build a Rex, ganna be his first car
You have a IG??
first or second gen?
Great video! I had a Honda CRX in high school and I LOVED that car! Even back in the late 80's and 90's I could tell this car was something special. Years later with a young family and after having my second engine go out, it was a very sad day when I had to say good bye to my old CRX :( Fortunately for me Honda did not stop making amazing cars and I now have a FK8 Honda Civic Type R and everything is good again and this time I can take the whole family with me and I do and they are now Honda fans.
Love my '89 CRX Si. I've had her for a year and a 1/2 and slowly rebuilding her as she's needed a LOT of TLC. One thing I can recommend is don't buy someone else's project CRX unless your ready to spend some serious dough finishing it.
So you want to be employed at Fitment Industries
CRX my literal dream car. I WILL own one, and make it look good. "second fav car/dreamcar would be a lotus, and yes a CRX beats out the lotus IMO"
Owning a CRX in 2020 = searching for rare and discontinued parts
:( feel that
Same^ :(
Haha same
Yesssss! I've had my Si since '91 and I have had my share of rust issues, theft, and so on, and everyone advised me to get rid of her after the engine blew during the high-speed chase between the robbers and police. Please. She's now getting an engine swap and my electrics and suspension are tip-top. Thank you for explaining the Honda mystique, particularly with the CRX's. Back then, I had my mind set on a Dodge Shadow ES (barf!) but one fateful day I drove past a Honda dealer and sat inside a CRX, and fell in love with that low-slung ride and the brilliant ergonomics. It takes a Honda owner to really understand, it's cultish in a way. Peace!
Have had my CRX since 2007, swapped in a b16 and its a blast to drive. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
Ah the sweet sweet crx, the great but often forgotten car in the Honda community
Forgotten? Not in california
Not in Washington state we love the crx out here and there are plenty of v8 killer crx out here too
@@93mlo Yup, would see them everywhere in the Elsinore/Wildomar area
It is the Crown of all Civics
They cost a heap down under 🇦🇺
I'm 16 and just spent $1800 on a 1990 crx hf b18b swap as my first car. Excellent timing
CRX... the front wheel drive Miata👍
I don’t like front drive, but I will always love the CRX.
Stock vs stock I enjoy a crx si more then a miata and have owned both.
@@themechanicalhound9932 I like the eg over the crx ! But the crx feels crazy behind the wheel !
@@themechanicalhound9932 can confirm i owned a na Miata it takes the win toob
EF and CRX will always be ❤
love jdm 80s cars keep the content coming!
I just recently got my 2nd CRX and it’s came with a ZC swap only 45k on the motor just trying to bring it’s looks back to quality and I’ll add it to the gallery 🤙🏻😉
Love my some Efs & Crx’s.... daily my Ef Sedan. Love the video.
My buddy had a CRX when I was younger and it was amazing how fast that thing was with just 200whp do to how light they were was. A big issue with the CRX was traction do to how light they were. I always thought that the CRX would be lethal if they ever started making them 4 wheel drive which is what they’re doing now.
The crx and the honda civic 4th gen was a super car killer. 300,000 engine with a bolt on turbo is a nightmare to face up against on the drag strip. H.O.N.D.A. aka Hold On Not Done... ACCELERATING!
My man! On point, good humor n knowledge...i rock an 89 si...everything you said...all that...Big up Al!!
Day 9 of asking for a "So you want a Mazdaspeed six"
I drive a speed3 but I'd like to see an FI video on the 6!
Lol
No one wants those
Kind of funny seeing this comment on this video. I totaled my Speed 6 am still waiting to repair it. I also basically purchased a totaled 1991 Honda CRX SI and am still repairing it. I need to finish the CRX repairs before I can finish the Mazdaspeed 6 repairs, lol. It's been 3 years... Speed 6 needs to get the A/C pully swapped out and get the hood re-aligned. The CRX needs some body work but it has 100% fully new suspension, a new engine, all that is missing is body work.
Dude in blue just uploaded a sickkkk one
if anyone has front mudflaps for a 90-91 crx hmu😂😂
Only if you have the exterior black door trims for a 91 😭.
Same man same :(
I got a pair on mine but would never part with them hehe
If he would have posted a month ago I would have had some but I threw them away did not realize how much they are
@@menkeperformance5838 wow lol yeah I've seen them go for as much as 300 a set. Some folks dont like the look though and dont know how rare they are and they just happened to come with my crx lol
Another banger of coarse!!!!! Bet a video on the vibe and matrix would be a banger too and I'd live to see it
I've owned a Honda CRX now for about 14 years now and I still love it. One of the best driving cars I've ever driven. Mine is rolling on classic 15x7 RPF1's, on of course Falken's.
“So you want an EG Hatch”
This is the comment I was looking for
Eg6
Crx’s look way better tho
@@arodbiker45 both are great
Finally got one for myself 😅
So you want an Pontiac Aztec
This is gonna be an everyday thing so like it up
Thanks for waiting till I got one to do one of these
Your videos brighten my day
Whenever I watch these videos everyone around me always ask “is that Linus tech tips?!?!”
Day 101 of Asking for "So you want a Kei Truck". . .
The dream must become reality.
You know something's gonna happen when FI hearts your comment
Believe it or not my brother just got one
100 huh
YES
I love my 1990 honda crx. Everything you said was pretty accurate, no complaints! They are indeed rust magnets and you definitely wanna give everything a refresh to keep ithese 30 year old econoboxes chuggin along. Driving one of these makes you feel connected with the road for sure and boy is it like a fun ride! After a spirited drive you'll find yourself getting out feeling stoked and possibly a sore leg from the awkward angle on the gas pedal. Wouldnt trade it or sell it. Would be missed way too much. So find one and take care of it now if you're thinking about owning one.
Love it ... thank you for the video
I actually own a 91 CRX si, I bought it with a blown up motor and swapped it with a high comp d16y7. Had eBay coil overs and front and rear skunk 2 camber kit
Fun fact: they used the sound of a turbo 1984 CRX for the eclipse in the first fast and furious movie.
I'm a proud owner of a 88 crx si.
With b16 lsd trans ry-wire harness and jdm front end. Its been with me for 22 years and still going.
Finally! I wanted this video for a while now
OhHhH I've been waiting for this one
People with stripped out crx’s love showing off how they can pick it up
I’ve been driving Crx since I could drive, I’ve had 3 so far one blue, red, white, don’t have the red one anymore but man I love these cars so good.
When we look back on 2020. Im glad to know what side of the War on Christmas Alex and his coffee was.
I was thinking abt the crx and wanted to see if u had a video on the crx and you just came out with it right when i looked it up PURE COINCIDENCE
When does the CR-Z episode come? 👀
I’m literally waiting for this
I love that car
We need this
I owned one. Loved it! typ 2 was the best. It was like a kart on the road, sticky like glue with coilovers KW to the ground.
I own 3 crx's. One is a AWD drag car build.. one has a dohc zc.. the last is bone stock with d15b.... love them all... all are manual.. looking at buying more.
I currently own 4 Honda CRX’s (13 others are sadly gone). It’s been my favorite car ever since I saw (first noticed) a 1989 CRX Si in color code Y-49 back in 1998-ish.
haha no chance you’re in the detroit area and trying to get rid off one of the 4 is there ?
@@ramseyzakaria1333 I’m in California & not selling any of them at the moment. I’m holding onto them just in case my son or daughter want 1 or 2 of them (when they’re old enough to drive). I’m hoping to get on the track with them someday. 😎
13 OTHERS!?
@@TheCorrupted1-mw1vg Yeah, I’ve owned 17 in total. From the 17, I’ve kept 4 of them, but may be selling 1 soon.
Part 14 of asking for what no one else will... “So You Want A Hyundai Tiburon”
Seconded
No, no i do not want a tiburon
I really don’t want one 😓
yuk
No one in their right minds wants a Tiburon
I have a 91 si and I originally bought it to get me around for 6 months or so.Now I have owned it for 8 and a half years and still love driving it
Yes been waiting for this video I own a crx it’s just fun to drive
7:51 "We are about to talk about what its actually like to own one of these."
next sentence: "we have fancy lights again, look at em!"
Me: nice.
Thought I was going to see my CRX in the intro, ahhh well!!!
Much love!
Dude this is a bad ass video you did the CRX good but the people want more, let’s get you and the guy to LA n OC You guys can stay with me I have a few cars motorcycles bmx bikes n snowboards for you guys to experience and use while in town ,what’s mine is yours and I’m only one guy can only drive one car at a time,, lol I’ll show you guys how me and my car guys grew up.

Got one today and I love it alot😘
Do a video of east coast vs west coast trends and differences that would be really cool to hear about!!!
I had a crx that my boys put a stop sign in it as a replacement quarter panel hahahaha
I say thank you when I get cut off by a crx in traffic because they are so rare to see
It's so sad to hear that my dad owned one when he was in college and he just sold it. There's still old pictures of him with it when he was younger and it looked so good!
Don't own a CRX but I have a Civic EX 1990, and boy let me tell you, as old as she is its by far THE MOST fun I've had, the suspension is so good, and it cruises as if it was made yesterday, I can't wait to work on her! Feel great for it to be my first car
Requesting So you want a Honda CRZ, imo it's cool because it's the only 6 speed manual, or only manual for that matter hybrid that exists afaik and they can be made fun
1st gen Honda Insight had manual as well and was hybrid
@@haxorman4302 ah ok well that's true, I forgot, both deserve in an episode imo
No power steering no a/c and i still love driving my 91 crx.
My dream car. I would be beyond overjoyed to finally find one on sale around me.
My dad bought a 1991 Tahitian Pearl Green one brand new... it is still sitting in our garage with absolutely no rust and under 85k on the clock. They are an absolute blast to drive. Not much power but it didn't need it for only weighing under a ton.
This is not ‘So you want a Kia Soul’ and the people are starting to get angry
I've had 2 crx in my life . Real NICE!!!!!!!!
There is a turbo model of the Kia Soul that has some performance enthusiasm at least.
''So you want a BMW E34'' please Alex!
This dude is funny.. :)
Really enjoy this show
. Watch it alot.
Shoutout from south africa :)
Thank you for the support fam thats awesome!!!!!!!🙏🏼
Seeing them a lot lately, that's very good, cool and different.

If I can find a CR-X I'll be the happiest person on earth.
Brother had 4 different crxs back in the 90s rolled one them things were a blast
whats nice with late 80's and early 90's car is that they dont have so much electronics in them. And thats a huge bonus for me.

So you want a Ford Fusion, day 1 of asking
US or EU Fusion?
@@ultraguy8771 the US Fusion
Heated steering wheel, so nice in winter.
I just wish they came with back seats 😭
(Edit) so it's a good excuse to my parents
They have like 80hp that should be enough lol
Second gen had rear seats but only in Japan 🤣
every EDM and JDM model came with back seats. I have them but actually prefer the look of the USDM version with just 2 seats
Lol back seats? Take the privacy cover off and you can fit a few people in the back😂 I’ve done it before in my first crx. I was able to fit 10 of my friends in the back. We were in high school which was 7-10 years ago
You can buy them but they're like 700 usd
It was the 70s that made cars so popular today, but the 90s Honda enthusiast really revolutionized the hot hatch and sedan today.
Greatly appreciate the shoutout!
Welp... Time to go on Craigslist/facebook marketplace again
Ahh. I see you! I caught that “Gone in 60 seconds” reference. 😉
@JD III Jr Yea. Wat u just said, makes absolutely no sense. If ur referring to the movie i mentioned. Its called “Gone in 60 seconds”. Awesome, awesome movie. Go watch if
If I didn't live in NYC I would totally buy a CRX and not have to worry about getting left gutted and on blocks
Definitely one of the best cars they made. I have a RHD one and I Love it! I've had about 4 my whole life and it was one of the best choices I made. Lol

Were they ever sold in the US? If not, I don't think they'll do it anytime soon.
Ultraguy87 yes they were I own a 09 Volvo C30 T5 R design in the USA
Good luck finding one
Late upload tonight anyone? 🤔 Sneak peek! Video is processing as we speak!
I'm in Los Angeles. These pieces of crap are everywhere. You can find them easily.
nice job! great video. another fun fact...these cars can fit a person up to 7' height. Because it was built on the civic platform (a four seater) the seat runners go WAY back and there is loads of room in every direction. I am 6'5" and I don't feel the least bit cramped in my 91 rex...which is why I have been keeping and driving it since I bought it in 1991.
Fun fact: The seat rails for the 88-91 CRX in Canada (and at least the 1988 in USA - not sure about the years with the passive restraint system) go back further than the JDM seat rails because of the rear seat. I swapped my EF8 seat rails with Canadian 1988 Si ones and I fit more comfortably in it.
6.5 and 7' how many meters are there?
Building up my 91 hf for road racing, and I have 2 first gen crxs, and 3g civic si with a twin cam from an 89 integra
So you want a nissan Cedric pls
Day 1 of asking for So you want a Polaris Slingshot
Bought a CRX si new in '85. One of the most enjoyable cars I've ever owned. Decided to stay with the Xs. Had to wait 26 years to be able to afford one, currently own a '91 NSX.
