Brother, that is some piece of Japanese magic. I lost my Dad 3 years ago, he had a Del Sol. Only the 1.6 VTEC but still a nippy little thing. We had to sell it to pay for his funeral, God bless but he loved that car. Thank you for putting that on the channel pal. Cheered me up no end. THE BEST CHANNEL ON RUclips BY A MILE. Keep up the excellent work my friend. Mucho love. x
I hope you find you fathers car in the future mate and get the chance to either restore it or just simply own it again. The fact it went to pay for his funeral is really sad. Bit late on this comment but I hope this makes you look into where you old man’s little weapon is nowadays🫡🫡
Any GTA 5 fans in the house today? John returns doing what he loves most, well second most, VTEC yo! Hope you guys enjoy this cheeky instalment, maximum bants & smiles guaranteed! Grab a brew, sit back and relax. Peace, ML
@@monkylondon Every time you're at a stop light in GTA V in a Blista Compact you just have to floor it and bang the redline through the gears, no grip at all 😂
@@monkylondon I’ve had a few yeah. Me and my mates ran them about 15 years ago up Guildford cruise etc. Sold my last one 6-7 years ago. Got an evo 6 now and a few other classics.
Had one of these on a j plate, flint black.. best car I ever owned. Be worth some wedge now. Awesome car. Had a guy stop by where I worked as he saw the car parked outside and told me the full history of the car design.. he worked for honda. Seeing this video makes me feel very nostalgic. Cheers dude.
Got a 1990 ee8 in blade silver. Got integra cams and tein suspension . Little car is bonkers, had it at 145mph on a couple of occasions. Goes round roundabouts like it’s on rails. I will never part with it. Great video👍
Legend of a car! I had an EF8 a few years back with a bunch of bananas and a straight through on it, wish I had never sold it, this video brings back many fond memories of "John" drives!
i love the CRX range, always wanted one, theyre so dirt cheap in america since theyre bash about runaround cars but over here they fetch a penny, the old ones even more so!
Will be an armed forces car, a lot stationed in Germany were ordered in EU spec but RHD. The only way you'll see a factory black coloured EUDM RHD CRX for example is in forces spec 👌
Side moldings are definitely supposed to be black. Had the same issue as they were the same color as the car. after sanding and using SEM black spray paint, really brings back the OEM look.
I have an '91 ED6 (hatch) with a swapped B16A2... Just left the original 8K rpm tacho. Few boltons and other bit and there are few things more fun than seeing that needle go past the end of the tach :D Best generation of Hondas!
I’m sure this would have been a ‘BFG’ (British Forces Germany) car. I bought one of these when I was serving there in ‘92. One of my biggest regrets was selling it 3 yrs later. How many non turbo 1.6 cars get 160+ bhp today, let alone 30 yrs ago? Great video!
a mate had a mint one of these the vtec 1.6 in the metallic green colour they came in back in around 1995 i remember us all trying to fit in the back after a drunken night out (he wasnt drinking) to get a lift home in it, think 3 of us crammed in the back and im 6'2 no idea how we managed it but wasnt very comfortable. it was a big step up from his mk2 xr2
Cams & NOS! In the 90s, I had EG hatch with integra type-r motor, cams and NOS. It did 220whp all motor and 280whp on NOS. Translate that from 1.8 to 1.6L... 195whp & 248whp.
Glad it's staying NA and changing the seats for some it deserves.. Black sills would match the window rubbers etc and give the car more defined lines I reckon. I have fun in my ST so that extra 30BHP + VTEC and some vinyl wrap would just be the "the mental" biit you mentioned. I'm too old but I'd actually own this, it looks proper fun.
@@monkylondon Cant find one anything like that having looked but ended up drooling over an immaculate Ep3 that is just too expensive to justify. Alls well that ends well tho. (Appreciated the promotion of non-asbo behaviour recommendations. Keep on at those middle lane wankers tho!).
Love these, always wanted one but was too skint when I was young and now they are getting expensive. Get those plastics black, replace front badge and get the vtec stickers for lower rear quarters and she’s a winner!
The moment you realise, at one point in time, car designs went horribly wrong. We will never experience new affordable hot hatches with this kind of emotion anymore
Great car, my wife had a SiR, sold it in 2013. It could do with black side trims but you'll end up breaking some clips taking them off. Even though the front end is slightly wrong it is the rare 88/89 twin headlight/screw hole sidelight front end.
My mate had one of these and i had a 16v mk2 golf, the looks we got from the chavs in the 1.0l saxo's when cruising down the sea front cause they did'nt have a clue, would smoke any of em VTEC YO!!
I need to get mine sorted ive a 92 mk2 1.6 non vtec but plan will b to either drop a b16 or b18 into it and get all the vtec parts and it has a sun roof but its not a glass one so wnat to change that to glass as well among alot of other things project car work never ends as most of you probably know not bad for a 21 year old in Ireland ive had the car since i was 13 and im glad i didnt get rid of it
Thats a European crx vt. The Japanese ones are known as sirs and have alot of little differences nice speedo cluster and door cards, interior etc. These are amazing cars. I Imported one 15 years from Japan. Still regret selling it to this day. Prices are really going up now on all the old honda vtecs so keep it !!
I had a 91. Skunk intake and a few other tweeks, I had 2 ecu's the JDM (limited to 115 but tuned for the tweeks and had 2 step) and a euro. ripped out everything I didn't need and it weighed in at about 740kg. i fucking miss that mad bastard.
My favourite honda uncle had one me and me dad picked it up had to dump into 2nd needed new clutch but damn I love the shape and they pull!!!!!! Love this vid thanks u legend
I’d imagine the reason it is right hand drive but from Germany is it was someone from the British army who was based in Germany. The deals back then that you could get buying a right hand drive Honda in Germany being military was crazy.
CRX has always been one of my favourite cars, my mates neighbour had one when I was young I was forever looking out his bedroom window starring at it 😂

In my opinion those 90’s Honda 4 bangers had the best N/A 4 banger sound! The quintessential VTEC sound! 👍👍👍👍
Owned one for 10 years, put 200,000 miles on it, such an amazing car, amazing memories

Sick video after like a year or more, none of that talking about life bullshit just straight car driving action. Sick 👌
No worries homes much love!
This car is sick,I love it!
Nice to see a CRX on the road. They were a cool car in the 90's still a cool car now with classic status.
18:21 cheating on poor Henry with the Carson Performance hoover...lolol That Civic looks so much fun ripping around in it.

My first car was the same in red but a 1.6i-16V on cams. Great first car, since then I love Honda’s, and most Japanse hot hatches.

Oh Wow! What a sweet ride. Love the Honda CRX. Was my first car and i still got that Baby. This is awesome motivation!

so nice in red especially with the side trims colour coded think you've bought a gem there mate
Yeah deffo think we might try that see if SMV is down
These look sick with the afterburner lights on the back!
The moment you realise, at one point in time, car designs went horribly wrong.
We will never experience new affordable hot hatches with this kind of emotion anymore
Hopefully we can keep reliving them though 🙏
I hope thats wheel hop and other asbo clutch kicks 😂 awesome video man, love me a 90s honda
I saw this today beautiful car.
Headphones in volume up time fo vtec baby !!! 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 love the clutch kicks 🦵keep the trim red

Hi
You've got that right, I drive a dc5 integra it's not the fastest car but man it's so fun
Love the crx and cant wait to see more sick vids of the crx.
Love the car, a big yes to painting the side molding and bumper molding.
Been waiting to see this on here 👌
When they first came out, i was 17, my mate had one, i used to valet it...absolutely loved it.
Love it, good work monkster!!!!!!!!
Mid and lower door moulds need to be black like oem or the just don’t look right! Love the crxs
I appreciate the clutchkick skills !
This thing is screaaammmiiinnggggg!
I just don't understand how John is not worried about the cops 🤣
The skunk2 exhaust is so friggin loud lol, I've got one for my EG which isn't yet fitted but I'm having second thoughts now 🤣
stick it on, Skunk2 sounds Awesome! Get a bit of trouble at some tracks but just stick the baffle in!
Clutch kicks for the win
Always the best on board vids 👌
Great video. Back to what brought me to the channel

Few things get my heart racing more than seeing someone beat the shit out of a VTEC Honda! Love the video
Be a nice strait through system on it with it being on a J plate/ pre 92 K when Catalists were made mandatory

Gonna give the key's back to John, and we'll head up the farm! 😂 Top man!

Welcome to the CRX family, those mats would look neat in my B18c TypeR CRX, any clues as to where they came from? Thanks
Love how this nutter John is always on stand by for the full sends he makes this channel so much better 🤣🤣
I love a good clutch kick on Honda to get back onto vtec.
Dc2 seats Will be Perfect on it, moldings are fine in red, maybe try To find a ee8/ef8 front end specially if it s a ee8/ef8 châssis.
