I've had mt xD for 3 yrs now and love it, but my wife needs a car so im gonna give it to her and im getting my self a 1987 Honda CRX Si. Cant wait to get it. does anyone here have one? how fun is it to drive them?

 

The last late 80's Civic I rode in sounded and rode like ____. Guess it depends on the condition of the car.

 

the only honda id ever drive. good choice! though, i would choose an hf myself since theyre the lightest model if i remember correctly.

 

this car im buying is in really good condition. I ran the carfax on it and it the record is pretty clean, it has always been in north Hollywood its a 1987 and it only has 111,xxx miles on it. that car is older than me. i was born in 1988 lol

 

Crx is the only honda ii ever really liked.. good choice.. but ii prefer the gen after that.. if ur gonna mod it.. do a d15 single cam vtec n/a ... ppl dnt really kno the true potential of those lil motors... but they go lol

 

Those were really light weight.. should be fun if its in descent shape..
I had a 95 Civic that was as simple as they come.. A manual tranny, 2 door
with AC.. thats it.. didnt even have power steering.. it didnt need it..
was good for short trips.. but would cripple on anything over 90 minutes..

 

lol

 

I test drove a CRX si back in 1992 or 1993. It was a 1989 model, if memory serves me well. It was fun to drive, but it had a really long clutch throw. Reminded me of the clutch on my dad's 1969 Dodge 500 flatbed truck. I don't know if that was normal or not, though. I do remember that I could reach back and touch the rear window from the front seat if I stretched far enough.

 

cool. I love small cars and I've always wanted a civic hatchback. that is one of the reasons i got the xD its small and look good and is cheap to maintain

 

Got My 88 crx si. LOVE it. have to work on it though. I already got the projector headlights with HID body kit rims and im buying new suspension cuz the guy that had it before me slammed to the ground. It is so low that I can barely turn. that little car is way powerfull compared to the xD. and after I install the new suspensionn im gonna install the body kit, then im gonna paint it. What color u guys suggest?

 

Glad you like it man. I know they have tons of parts available for them. enjoy!

 

how is the the motor in that 88 crx? Does it have alot miles? Good luck with your project.

 

the motor has only about 60k the shell has about 130k it was already swapped. I forgot what was the name of the engine all I remember is it is 1.6 and is equivalent to a b16. Today I finished installing some better looking door panels, a working sunroof, and one projector headlight. got much more to do
