My 1990 CRX.



I've owned this since 2009 - I bought it as my birthday present.
I'm the second owner from new. The original buyer kept it for 19 years and only put 36,000 miles on the clock !
I've kept it largely in standard form,adding only a S/S manifold,Mongoose exhaust,and a K&N panel filter.
Rusty sills were cut out and replaced.
New OEM sunroof panel and seal fitted.
Full respray in original Polar White.
The interior is all original,complete with a working cassette player.
It's now done 46K miles and I'm hoping to keep it for many years to come.

Lovely example and well done for just keeping it original (ish).

More pics!! Love seeing time warps like these.

[Matt Bird]

This looks fantastic! More pics please, CRXs seem so rare now that this should be celebrated.

[thejoyofCRX]

Thanks for your comments.



Seems most of my pics exceed 2MB so I can't find any others to upload at present.

Wonderful car mate.

Fantastic!

[Mastodon2]

Super cool. Any pics of the rear?

[thejoyofCRX]

Can't find a rear view pic that will upload on here.
This was taken for a small comparison feature in Top Gear magazine,July 2011 edition.



The journalist was quite impressed with the CRX.
Left his porky CRZ for dead on the drive to the beach.

Lovely! Now get that SLR charged and take a lot of photos. We need details!

The old CRX is much better looking. Though Honda have missed a trick with the new car. It must be one of the only new cars being made now that isn't utterly abhorrent to look at. They really should have done a hot version, screaming N/A engine or not.

Cracking, always wanted one of these. Didnt it have a tiny back seat?

Gorgeous car. One of the only unmolested ones I've seen.

For the love of God, keep it this way. Don't ever sell it to some McD's carpark type

The back seat is practically useless.
The seat itself is fine but with the drivers seat in a comfortable position the rear footwell vanishes.
They didn't even bother with a seat for the US market.
They replaced it with a neat lockable storage box instead.

I've always had a soft spot for the CRX.

Yours is absolutely banging, top stuff.

Found a rear view pic.

Haven't seen one of these on the road for a while. Looks lovely.

Great looking car! Actually one of the few I've seen where alloy wheels wouldn't necessarily improve the look of the car, those hubs just suit it so well! Top job on keeping it standard, I've always liked these but have been put off by the endless stream of chavved up ones, this is making me want one again!

Also, it looks 100x more interesting than the CR-Z.

When I was at Uni, one of the guys I shared a house with had one in silver, with 5 spoke Fondmetal alloys - looked great. Cracking cars.
