Quoted:
An acquaintance of my GF won a CRX in a raffle back in December. When we started dating in March, I always remarked on how this certain Honda in her apartment complex looked like a freaking time machine. Turns out it was completely restored before being given away: new paint, new seats, headliner, carpet, etc. I sat in the car months ago(it was unlocked the whole time) and was blown away at the interior and overall condition. I know nothing about the drivetrain of the car, except that whatever is wrong, I will fix it. The girl is 100% clueless about the car, doesn't need it, and needs some money. The car has been sitting since February, collecting dust. I have not tried to turn the car over, jump it or anything. She just called and asked my GF if I was still interested in the car and she asked for $300 to help with bills. The car is worth more than that, but I'm in no place to be extremely charitable so I offered her $100 more than she needed. My bet is bad battery, or fuel pump, or something small. She couldn't even describe to me the circumstances surrounding the car's failure. For all I know, she doesn't know how to drive a stick. Anyway I am picking it up tomorrow afternoon, and will provide pics. I will use it as a grocery getter to save gas, and I have never been so excited about purchasing a Honda lol. So GD, what do you think is wrong with it? It looks like this except black/grey with red stripe: http://i2.cdn.turner.com/money/galleries/2010/autos/1006/gallery.top_mpg_since_1984/images/2_1986_honda_civic_crx_hf2.jpg Who gives a shit what is wrong with it, toss everything in the engine bay into a trash can, and swap in a B16, and then flip it for 5k. |

CRX was a great car, Honda has the opportunity to make the current CRZ into a CRX equivalent but they seem to be fucking it up, they should sell 2 versions of the CRZ, A high HP rocket & a very high fuel eco (I can see such a small hybrid getting 70mpg) version, both would sell faster than they could build them, but naturally Honda screwed the pooch & builds one version only that is neither Fast or fuel efficient (for it's size) & They wonder why no one is buying them!

If Honda put the Type R engine into the CRZ, nobody would buy the Civic Type R, which is fine, because the Type R is also stricken with "4 door-itus".

I agree, but I'm on the other end of the spectrum, I want a decent looking high mpg commuter that I can drive to work every day & not feel like I'm driving in a vagina (in a prius  )
The tiny 2 Seat CRZ hybrid should get 60+ mpg, not the lame 40 it gets now.The current CRZ offers neither performance or high mpg, it's a waste of space in Honda's lineup! |

Friend of mine got paid to take one of those years ago.
His coworker's son had it, couldn't start it. Coworker bought a battery and it started first try. Told my friend he'd sell it for the price of the battery($60 at the time). Friend had just put an aftermarket stereo in his Monte Carlo and was planning on tossing the original. Coworker said he'd trade him the CRX and $50 for the factory stereo, so he got rid of his garbage and got a car plus cash. Car had 100,000 plus on it, he took it to 210,000 before rust got ahold of it. HE junked the car and still got $75 out of it. He wants another one, I'd buy one too. Fun cars. |

Waiting on the updates, is it running yet? Got the urge to search for one as project car now. Unless of course the op wants to double his money, then I'll be down with a trailer.
I don't recall the mileage I got with mine as I was too busy winding it out on the back roads and autobahn in Germany. I'm pretty sure it wasn't 50 MPG's though.

This thread really makes me want to get another one. I haven't stopped thinking about mine since I first read this. One of my girlfriends at the time had blood coming out of her ear because the car was so loud.
good times. I wish I had some pictures of that thing. I probably had $15,000 in that car. But this was 2004 or 5 so car shit was more expensive then.

The Si versions used to be hellatious little grocery-getters. They were fun,I had a black one that had the windows left open during a huge rainstorm. A new ecu and other junkyard parts and it was good to go. Four guys could pick the thing up easily and it was fast for what it was,sold it to a kid when the first F&F movie came out and more then made up for all the money that I put into it Saw the kid driving it a few months later and he had a body kit and neons and other shit on it, heard he wrapped it around a tree |

Contrary to the manual,it WILL drop out the bottom. It's a PITA sure but still easier. 88-91s are now legitimate collectables. An exceptional Barbados Yellow Si can fetch almost original MSRP. Quote HistoryQuoted:

I had an 89 si. It was a very fun car. I remember changing an alternator in it involved taking half the front end apart in my driveway in a MN March. I sold it not long after that. Nice score though. I'm a bit jealous. Contrary to the manual,it WILL drop out the bottom. It's a PITA sure but still easier. 88-91s are now legitimate collectables. An exceptional Barbados Yellow Si can fetch almost original MSRP. I remember somebody told me that at the time but I couldn't get get through. Mine was yellow but not quite exceptional. This was 13 years ago so it's probably rusted into dust by now. |

Wow, heck of a deal. Those were seriously fun cars. One of my best friends in college in the eighties had one that looked the same, a black '85 SI. She used to carry her yellow lab and her Newfoundland around in it which was pretty funny to see. She also ran it in the local SCCA races. Another friend had the HF model that she drove for from when we were seniors in high school until after we graduated college; I think it had over 300,000 miles on it before she bought a larger car.

That's awesome, I bet it would have gone to 400 K no problem! There seriously is nothing to this car! It's great. It's like a newer, sportier version of my old Super Beetle. I could see myself going out of control with this car: cage, AWD from a CRV, Turbo'd LS lol. |

Awesome! A $400 running Si can't be beat.
If you haven't found it yet,Hondatech is like the Arf of Hondas. I really wish Honda would build a fantastic,simple,fun car again. Sorry,the Fit isn't it and the CR-Z missed by a mile. You did really well with this. It will be freakin sweet with refreshed suspension. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Waiting on the updates, is it running yet? Got the urge to search for one as project car now. Unless of course the op wants to double his money, then I'll be down with a trailer. I don't recall the mileage I got with mine as I was too busy winding it out on the back roads and autobahn in Germany. I'm pretty sure it wasn't 50 MPG's though. Starting to think this is a safe thread. Prove us wrong OP. How dare you!!! At the last minute, I started getting butterflies in my stomach thinking the deal would fall through. Her phone was going straight to VM when we were supposed to meet, but she had given me her Apt. # and said she would be home. Anyway she answered, I remembered her from youth groups, we walked out to the car, she signed my BOS and handed me the keys happily.

I've got wood looking at that car thinking about how awesome it was to have a CRX Si.  Me and the wife had great times bombing around Germany and the rest of Europe from 85 until I sold it in 88.
Way to pull through with the pics. I already did an unlimited search last night without any distance modifiers and only pulled up 7 listings using Autotrader. |

I wonder if she thought the raffle was for a CRV and when this thing was awarded just went "oh...yeah..."?

I've got a thing for Hondas and the CRX was one of my favorite models. You got a hell of a deal. That is sweet.

I want one :(. But finding one that's not a riced out pile of crap is next to impossible. If I ever do though or a nice geo metro, I'll start a new max fuel mileage daily driver project lol.

Fuck that's nice! I had an 87 and loved that damned thing. Fun little car! All the normal maintenance was super easy (minus reaching the oil filter). Shit, you can do the valve adjustment in about 30 minutes.
The fucktards built the seatbelts into the doors on the 2nd gen. You were supposed to climb in and out without unclipping the belt. Stupidest idea ever. |

She has another beater Honda and a 50cc scooter she uses to get around. I think it was like "Why not for $5" or whatever and when she won, she was like "huh, neat". Lol |

I've always liked those cars. A coworker bought one a few years back to hop up. Crazy little cars.

Awesome! A $400 running Si can't be beat. If you haven't found it yet,Hondatech is like the Arf of Hondas. I really wish Honda would build a fantastic,simple,fun car again. Sorry,the Fit isn't it and the CR-Z missed by a mile. You did really well with this. It will be freakin sweet with refreshed suspension. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I think I had a honda tech acct back when I was a teen into 5.0 Mustangs, just for trolling. Now I have a damn Honda haha. I grew up building and tweaking cars, and I had a few buddies into rice burners, so I can talk the talk to a certain extent. I remember a buddy's Integra, with a Turbo GSR and AWD from a CRV. That thing was freaking cool. |

I had a 1990 (>) CRX Si.
Loved that car. Nothing else has come close for both fun and fuel economy. I used to drive it to the Hun Farm. Loaded with gear, ammo, booze ... I averaged 75mph on the 300 mile trip. This includes the fact that I had to get through Dallas traffic. There were many stretches where I just cruised at 100 mph. Factory top speed was 112 (115?). One cool November morning I tried to hit top speed, speedo indicated 120. No mods, just the right day, cold calm air, flat ground. It seemed to get better gas mileage at higher speeds. Miss that little silver bullet. TRG |
