What is it like running errands in a 28yr old b16 CRX?

- Опубликовано: 29 мар 2019
- I have had several people asking me to do more content on my CRX. It's a 1991 HF with a b16 and even though I put so much time and work into restoring it, I use the heck out of it. Follow me on a typical day running errands in my little gas saving go kart as I tell a little more about the history of my build.

I am 55 years old, I had a 88 CRXsi in my 20's. As years passed by, I have owned 94 Euro BMW M3, 97 Porsche 993, 2005 Corvette. I have to be honest, the CRXsi was the most fun car of them all. I miss that car the most. It did everything. Thanks for sharing you video. Guard that CRX with you life.
Thanks for sharing. You should go to my channel and check out the 20-minute documentary I shot covering the entire build restoration of the car.
@@diversedad7954 how much did you ended up selling yours for? Of course, don't feel pressured to answer - I'm just curious. I've looked at one where I live and guy asks about $8000 for it, but it's original vehicle with 300.000 km on the engine. Just maintained (no custom work was done on it except paint and maybe few minor things).
@@betrion7 I sold it for $12k. Pretty high number for mine for around here.
@@diversedad7954 Thanks! That honestly seems as a good deal for a car like that. In the end heart does not have a price and you've put a lot of it in that vehicle. Thanks again and all the best to you and yours.
@@betrion7 yeah I had a couple offers that were even higher and I could have made a little more money on it but the guy I sold it to only lives 2 hrs from me and I can still keep in touch and visit the car. He also has lots of other classic Hondas and keeps them in top shape and it was a good fit.
Now I'm excited about the next chapter. Just built my dream shop and have a 66 c10 short bed truck I'm working on. Something totally different!
your car is honda
but your beard, hat and glasses says lifted F250
That's funny. If you've watched many of my other videos you'll see my daily driver is a slightly lifted z71 GMC Sierra 4x4 lol. And a lot of the time I'm wearing cowboy boots but usually not when I drive the crx cause I hate the way my boots fit the pedals. I take your comment that I'm not the typical Honda guy as a compliment. Hondas get a bad wrap because of a lot of the people that drive them but they are fun cars.
@@diversedad7954 yea and a lot cheaper on gas too
: )
He could have both. One for track days, and one for offroad mud trails. I own a ep3 type-r and a 94 Toyota landcruiser
jacksrandomadventures lol 😂
Based
Im a 17 year old who owns a 1990 crx dx and honestly im glad to see there are people like you sir who still love the car
Everyone Loves CRX's
im a mazda guy who hates fwd and i looove the crx
check mine
I personally love The Del-Sols Also and I know those are the most hated hondas in the community
@@kedaotuning nice nice b20
Graduated high school in 94 with a v8 swapped s10. Sold it and bought a 91 crx to drive to college. The difference in gas mileage was astounding. Love it man. Oh the memories
She's a sweetheart. I would NOT boost it. She's fine the way she is. Thanks for sharing.
I admire how you went all in on a project and saw it through to completion. It's built just right. Not flashy but clean as hell. Great job sir.
Thanks man. It was a long term goal and it turned out exactly as I pictured. It is rare for our younger generation to start a full rebuild project and actually finish lol. Thanks for watching!
Miss my "91 CRX Si every day. Sold it with 321K trouble free miles.
Wow. Yeah I'm afraid I would have the same regret if I ever sold mine
I can remember when I was still in Highschool when eg's, crx's and Ef's hatchbacks roamed my local streets.. what you have there my friend is a true DIAMOND in the rough. Never SELL IT!!!
A rough I turned into a diamond lol. Thanks for the compliments. They certainly don't make them like this anymore.
I also daily my 1991 Civic Si. My favourite car in the world! Never gonna sell it. Never gonna stop dailying it.
Please dont sell it!!
Baddest Burrito same bro is it stock
Keep that CRX NA!! Sweet car, you give me hope for my interior.
I collected all kinds of interior parts for years while building this car. Anytime I came across any I just bought them. Then when I put the car back together I chose the best parts. It's not perfect but it's pretty nice. My car is an HF and I decided to do all Si interior cause I liked it.
Love these cars. Had a 1987 CRX-SI purchased new and put 120,000 on it before selling it
in the late 1990s. Most fun car I've ever owned. Thanks for helping to keep these great
little cars alive!
Beautiful car! Gotta love having a car capable of high 14’s and still gets 40 mpg.
Can definitely do better than 14's with engine swap and still get that gas mileage 🤙🏾
Yea i get high 13s with crx and b18c
And 40 mpg no problem
More of this content, I love old Hondas. Keep them alive for as long as possible!
91 CRX, one of my all time favorite cars, perfect for errands
The design is so beautiful. Used to see them so much on the street, not anymore, sadly. Those engines are so great!
Yeah I still getting excited even when I see a junky one on the road lol. Not many on the road. Yeah I've always thought the b16 is so cool for its high revving and the amount of power it makes for its size. Thanks for watching!
Geeze dude that's a nice car. Super clean, love everything about it. I'm about to pick up an '89 CRX for $500, and then swap a b16 into it. I can only dream it could come out running and looking like yours! Nice ride man, stay safe out there.
I appreciate it man. Technically when I fist got this car I traded a car that I only had about $300 in so I got it cheaper than the one you're looking at. It was very rough so all it takes is a lot of work and commitment and if you want a nice one you can do it!
I have a blast running errands in my 92 VW GTI 16v. I did full neuspeed sway bars, coil overs, techtonics exhause.. owned since 99. I adore the car.
Sounds like a sweet car. Awesome that you've owned it that long!
She is beautiful bro.... Thank you for keeping it alive
Man I got flashbacks of my 86 crx, loved that damn car. Best 500 bucks ever spent!
Brings back memories of my 91Si. Good show!
Love this style video. No over hyping dub step non sense. Just an awesome car and the owner/builder breaking it down. Awesome crx!
Thank you so much for the input. Please check out my most recent video about my trip to import Alliance. I put a lot more work into it and it's got a more produced set up. I have started a Moore produced mini documentary video that will go in more detail about my build. I also have a teaser for that video introduction on my channel if you want to check it out. Thanks for the support!
Damn that’s clean. Those were the good ol Honda days
Yep and I get transported back to gmc good Ole Honda days everytime I drive it lol. Thanks for watching!
Used to deliver pizza in my 89 back in the day. Never let me down even in the winter. My all time favorite car for sure.
Forever in love with your car Colton! Keep up the great content!
Thank you. Really apprrciate it! 🙏🏼
I appreciate your crx and like may other commenters it brings back a lot of great memories of the many crxs that I had. I encourage you to keep building it however you dream!
Thanks for the kind comments!
Cool car mate. My friend used to have one of those back in the day and I had a B16a Integra those cars are great the noise they make on vtec is addictive and handle they handle very well being so light.
I got my lisence in one of these. They're are alot of fun.
I’m always happy to see a car with a good use :)
B16 VTEC cracks like no other. Id love to have this CRX as a daily. But I am happy with my 5th gen Prelude base, with the torquey JDM H23A bluetop VTEC. I could never part away from this, that raw analog and pure drivers car feeling never gets old. Plus once vtec kicks in, has that extra pull and roar that makes my commute 😃
Yeah this CRX will never be a daily driver again. I had 1/4 gen Prelude h23 non VTEC and that was one of my favorite cars I ever owned. That was the Honda that made me fall in love with Hondas
DiverseDad same here, i first fell in love with the 4th gen preludes especially in black, that dual tip exhaust, and timeless digi display and just the exterior alone. I got a great deal on my 5th gen that i couldnt pass up so i picked it up. And these are rare to see on the roads today. When i do see one it is riced to high heavens and or falling apart. Great upload and thanks for sharing! 🤙
Nice CRX. I’ve owned 3. One ‘90 Si with a DOHC ZC, a stock ‘88 Si, and a stock ‘88 DX. Timeless classic.
Thanks man. Yeah I've always thought the dual overhead cam zc is a great engine in these cars.
love the visibility of older cars
Brings back great memory’s of two cars I owed and loved , crx and Ek9 type r combo body/engine mating..regret selling my Ek9 though they worth a fortune now 😓
Watching this video again for no reason other that it came up on my feed and I love it haha!
lol. I never thought this video would amount to anything and look at the views! I remember calling my best friend saying it hit 3k views, this thing has blown up lol. Now 150k. Unreal. I need to think of a follow up type video or other things that follow this format. I can’t figure out why it got so popular.
Absolutely love your car!! I spent my early teens messing around in an '85 CRX first stick shift I ever drove. To this day id love to own one but being up in the rust belt as it's know any of them that were here are probably dust by now. I occasionally look to see if I can find any they are either in bad shape or very expensive. Thanks for sharing your awesome car brings back some memories maybe some day I'll find one as a project I never give up. I look forward to seeing more videos.
Thanks for sharing your story. That's what's so cool about driving an old car like this around is people either pay no attention and have no idea what it is or someone like you will walk up to me and tell me about there memories in a car like mine. Most of them around here are rusted out too and we get snow and salt on the roads but we are definitely not considered to be in the salt belt so I can imagine what you are talking about
I just uploaded a new video. The CRX got some new shoes this week!
The amount of work it took for you to get this thing to what it is. Awesome work!!
really clean.! Great build after 4yrs.!!! I like the NA style for the great MPGs
Just picked up an 89 hf not too long ago, single owner and my god the joy that thing brings even without per-say a damn b-16, absolutely stunning.
Congrats. Yeah they are definitely still fun right out of the box.
Great looking HF. Cali strict on Motors swaps without the BAR so I kept my HF stock. Keeping it alive and running.
wdym?
I daily my B16 CRX as well. Nothing better than hitting VTEC in the morning :D
I used to have a yellow crx si and it was cool lil car wish it had the b16a like yours. Clean ride bro.
Just what we need... a nice clean crx!
6:15 Appreciation is the key to being happy with the CRX and keeping it long.
Once you start to compare to new cars you WILL become unhappy
Power wise you want to Turbo,
Traction loss you want to 4wd
Then you want gadgets = You stay unhappy
Once the molestation starts you introduce problems and you follow the demise of so many CRX
Yeah I've always liked the simplicity of this car with the b16 swap and how it's just era correct. It was very fast for its time and every build has a purpose. This was just to be a very clean, quick enough to have fun driver. It's been an awesome journey but I'm selling it very soon to move onto a new project I've already purchased. Time for something completely different! 1966 c10 short bed bagged and ls swapped! It's just a rolling shell right now. Lots of years of work to go on this one!
I daily drive my D16Z6 turbo 90 CRX HF for the last 22 years. Best car I have ever owned.
That's awesome. What kind of power does that thing make?
Always loved the CRX, thanks for sharing your story!
Thanks for watching! Really appreciate the support!
Such a beautiful crx. Cant wait for my del sol and crx to look just as good.
Thanks buddy. Just takes commitment and a lot of work. Or a lot of money to pay someone else to do it! Do you have an Instagram?
ive always wanted one of these cars as a kid love them super hard now to find in mint condition how the 90's came and went
Hard to find in just decent condition.
Seeing this made me not give up on my prelude! I love your build giving you & Eddie a follow and a sub !
I had a 93 prelude Si that made me fall in love with Hondas. Don't give up on it. Is you love the car save it!
i've seen one here in the manila, philippines where my boss is an american working at animation company... man i would say the most beautiful crx i've seen in my life and in flesh...
That’s a cool little car nice work man congrats 👍🏼👍🏼
Keep her standard as possible. Had one myself and I miss it so much. If i spent more money maintaining it than modifying it, I'dd maybe still have her!
Excellent video. You have talent for this, beyond the car build you are funny and interesting to watch and there are a good bit of small but excellent production value nuances throughout. Very enjoyable thank you.
Wow thanks for the compliments! I've been struggling lately to keep up with life and the channel but I have several videos shot that just need put together and will have new content soon.
@@diversedad7954 Sure thing. I look forward to more stuff. I understand about struggling to keep up...if I had time to edit and cared enough to buy some good equipment I could do a lot more here but with 4 kids and hobbies I just don't have the time. Still it's fun and I appreciate quality channels like yours.
@@gray25xt that means a lot. I've only got 2 kids so I couldn't imagine 4! I've committed to the channel for a least a year to see how it goes and after that we'll see but I've had some success so far!
@@diversedad7954 4 is great I love my kids, no regrets at all. Yes you have a talent I hope you're able to use it more in video production but obviously you have your priorities right so keep first things first and all will be well no matter how big or little your YT channel gets. Joy in the journey!!!
Boosted is fun, I have a DD fiesta St, but I still really miss some things about NA. If you can, keep it the way it is, and build an additional car as a turbo.
Had an 89 Si in high school. Really miss that car. Yours is exactly how I would build one now.
Thanks. Just ran into a bit of an issue with it. May be off the road for a bit😬 Stay tuned. I'll post a video about it in the next couple weeks.
I also had an 89 si in high school lmao
Had a red 89 crx si, but got tired of people trying to steal it, so I had to sell the thing. It had a b18b1 with a b16 head, making 175hp, 115tq at the wheels. It was so much fun. I miss it a lot. It also had ee8 power windows, ee8 arm rest, full interior, Integra front and rear disc brake conversion..... I think I'm gonna buy one again when I have the chance. I'm 36 y/o, but I gotta relive those cool moments! Very iconic car.
Thanks for sharing. They are iconic fun little cars. I'm 34 and kinda like you love to relive those younger days through this car only I had this same car in those younger days its just gone through a transformation and kind of doesn't feel like the same car in some ways. You had one with an Integra front?! I'd like to see that. Also that ee8 with all those rare goodies sounds awesome!
Integra front and rear disc brakes. Not front. Haha! And after 4yrs, my wishes became a reality! I bought a black 1988 crx si.
My favorite are the pass @ 10:46 & the u-turn @ 11:39. Great job on the build. Nice to see an everyday diyer diy. Don't ever sell it.
Thanks for the compliments! Building a car and doing all the work yourself is what makes it mean so much more in the end.
i miss driving my crx, it was such a blast....hopefully this yr i will get her running again!
Do it! Keep them alive!
Love those cars! I’m a muscle car guy myself, but I had some friends with those things back in high school and they were an absolute blast to drive! They were like go carts😁
You shouldn’t limit yourself to being just a “Muscle car guy”. I own a 65 and 66 c10 pickups I’m building right now. I appreciate lots of things about lots of different cars.
Btw I did a 20 minute professionally about documentary on the entire build of this car if you check out my channel. I think you’d really enjoy it.
@@diversedad7954 I'll have to check that out. I can appreciate almost everything automotive/motorsports related. We actually owned two different Honda Fit Sports that served as our main family vehicle when our kids were small. Those cars reminded me a lot of how I enjoyed the CRX's.
@@musclecarcamaroman9092 here is a link to the full build video of the CRX.
ruclips.net/video/jCQ-DfzxIiY/видео.htmlsi=9gh-nS3sARtUGCbh
Love the car man! I hope to have one soon. Just finished rebuilding my e.g. hatch for my daily.
Awesome man. Good luck. These CRX are getting harder to find!
Beautiful classic Honda don’t ever get rid of it beautiful gem
Thank you. Glad you appreciate what I did with it
Amazing restoration
Hey thanks! Hopefully I can get this more in depth video talking more about the build finished here soon.
I miss my CRX i had a b18b1 bottom with a b16a head boosted using a T04E until it got stolen one day.
I used to cruise the honda-tech forums like crazy when i was in highschool....good times
Hate to hear about it being stolen. I used to have a build page of this car on honda-tech while I was building it. Unfortunately the site I was hosting the pictures through changed and wiped all the pictures.
Well what did insurance do about it? Did they get you another car?
Awesome car
I love the Hondas
I’m an Accord guy myself
I have a 94 chevy stepside, no issues ever! :) love the hatchback!!!
Simplicity is key with this one. Kudos on the build.
That was the goal. Simple and clean. I wanted so many custom things on this car that most people would never notice and it would almost look stock to most
DiverseDad I can understand completely. I have always been conservative when it comes to modifying the exterior. I try to keep it oem looking as possible. I had a 98 ej8 coupe that appeared stock on the exterior. Engine bay, not so much!! Well done my friend. Subscribed and will be looking for more content on the Rex.
@@Undar8ed03 thanks! Not all my videos are about the crx but I try to keep a lot that way. I have some bigger video plans for the car but it's a longer term project I won't be releasing for a little while. You should check out the video that I have linked in the beginning of this one where I take the car to import Alliance this last summer. I put a lot more work into it. I think you'll enjoy it. More produced.
Bro I love this this vlog keep it up. Love the crx my fav car
Thanks for the feedback!!
Love the car. Priceless video you found on IG. Pretty cool.
Appreciate that. Yeah when I left that day he flagged me down and said I hope you don't mind that I put some pictures of your car on Instagram. I found that video later. If you go to his Instagram there is also a second video where he was asking me about the car. he's a funny dude. I follow him now and love it because he gets so excited about all different types of cars.
Had a 90 DX in Torino Red Pearl also with a JDM B16A swap, I built the car back in 1998. Great car, I'd love to own one again but that ship has sailed for greener pastures.
That is a beautiful piece you have there...
I had an 88' with a ZC and then a b16 swap way back when I was 18, I miss that car so much!
beautiful car man. inspiring for sure
I have a 1994 civic hatch love it. THere are only two crx here on the island that I live and they rusting out might buy it and do a body work in the future.
Same here in the Midwest where I am. Very few crxs and almost all of them are rusted out, riced out, or wrecked out.
I always remember when my dad bought his yellow crx I think his was an 1990 with a sunroof man I loved that car.
If his had a sunroof it was an Si model. That y49 yellow is one of the colors a lot of people are looking for now. Didn't make as many yellow ones. Mine was originally red.
DiverseDad ya it was an si, it was really nice back in the day. I was only 8 when he had the car.
Damn, this looks so much fun to drive!
It is. If you're close to southwest Missouri come by and I'll let you take her for a rip!
I love this. They just go and go and run smooth, nimble. Don't be careless, folks clock them.
Mine was stolen but recovered after high speed chase. Engine blew and body damage but I'm just going to swap the engine, it was getting up there anyways. People keep telling me I should just trash it and get another car, yeah right.
Void hate to hear that but glad you got it back. People told me mine was too rough to restore too lol.
Hmmm might start restoring my 89 when I get another vehicle. Been driving mine for a little over a year. Great car minus a few issues that the last owner did to the car.
Damn this thing sounds soo sweet makes me wanna drive manual that much more
Damn i miss my crxs owned a 90 hr and 91 si with an h2b swap loved that thing.
I had the same car with a B16 and it was the most fun I ever had in my life.
People do not and will never really know sadly.
Too bad you no longer have it
Dude, nice rebuild. I have one also, hope I never have to get rid of it.
That engine sounds great
Congrats for your car and your project, very nice and clean, much fun!
It will be for sale very soon. Picked up a new project and don't have space or money for both 😔
@@diversedad7954 you'll miss it I just got one a month ago with a b20 i wanted one for a while glad I finally got one like you said pretty hard to find wish you luck on next project
I like the low, sporty seating position.
I have the same problem with my Fiero GT. When I come back to the parking lot, I initially don't know where it, is because all other cars over tower it,
I had one. Loved that car. Beat a z28 with my b16 crx!!!! Great times!!
Back in college when I got this car my buddy had a fox body Mustang GT and most of the time in a drag race we ran almost the exact same. I kind of miss the days when this car was really rough-looking because for some reason everyone wanted to race me and I surprised a handful of people LOL
Yo the bay is super clean bro! 😯😍👌
Thank you. Unfortunately I just discovered an issue the other day that I'm gonna have to do some metal repair in the bay then repaint part of it😢 I'll talk about it in a couple future videos.
Simple and clean setup
My 93 Civic is my DD! Only I had stripped it out like a track car! Still has a d15b8 with z6 head! And she's rough! Someday I'll paint!!! Great car!!!
Thanks man. Keep it. They aren't worth much to sell so you may as well keep it and make it nice.
Crazy clean crx! Love the local-ish content. Keep it up!
Where are you from?
@@diversedad7954
I live about an hour west of downtown stl on hwy 70. Went to school close to Fulton.
@@89civ I went to South Callaway in Mokane my whole life. Basically Fulton area. Most of my car buddies are from Fulton too.
@@diversedad7954 Bulldogs class of 06......I graduated with Eddie! Only lived there for 2 years. Jr and sr year of high school. Small world!
@@89civ no way! I was class of 03.i was just sitting with Eddie at a wedding last weekend! I moved to Springfield in 03.been here since. I'll be at import Alliance in St Louis this weekend probably just on Saturday. You should come out. Eddie will probably be there too.
My b16 crx has been my daily for almost 3 years now. Its been a love hate relationship but she's still running and getting me to work
This was my daily years ago and it was rough. I can relate. Had a ton of fun in it back then but spent a lot of time in the garage too.
That CRX is amazing!!!!....I had 3 of them at one point. I love Hondas ❤❤❤
Thanks man. She is a far cry from what she was when I got her 13yrs ago. Hondas are definitely a good way to get some smiles per gallon!
I grew up having nothing Honda cars, my first one was an 84 CRX HF then I got an 89 CRX DX that eventually did a ZC SOHC VTEC swap on it. Went thru several different more hatchbacks. Halfway thru my time in the military i bought a 93 NSX which i unfortunately totalled. in the rain. I've also had a 05 and 06 CBR 600RR. Then a Ridgeline and now a Pilot. The only non Honda car i had was a 2013 Mini Cooper S. Now I'm thinking of getting an S2000 for a. daily. driver.
I love you restored it and daily it and that you beat on it somtimes thats what there for right to have some fun in them. Any chance you can tell us whats the paint color code and wheel specs please.
That's one clean and simple looking crx!! Wish I kept my eg B18b... Now I got a ej6 to build
Thanks!
super cool, thx for sharing
had an 89 HF with a GSR b18, it was a blast!
I’m currently looking for clean crx to do pretty much what you did..I have k20z1 in my 06rsx and performance wise I prefer the K over b series but I want to swap a b16 In a crx because that’s what belongs in there.i know you feel the urge to continue modding but I’d just enjoy it how it is.youre done dude lol you did it...and you did it right.
Thanks man. Yeah I do love b series in crx's. Thays actually kinda how I feel about just enjoying it right now. Only thing is I've always planned to run turbo just not a high priority. Good luck finding a clean one. They are unicorns these days. Thanks for the kind words!
I have a 90 dx hatch with a B16a. I’ve owned it for 20 years. Hardly ever drive it but I’ll never get rid of it. My daily is a 2018 Civic Si.
Nice CRX, I had mine stolen last weekend but thankfully have it back minus a back windscreen, awesome cars to drive.
Jeez man. Glad you got it back!
doc lowkey i know that feeling, same thing happened to me.
I'll post a quick vid once it's back from insurance, panel, mechanics etc
I love this car so much
Thank you!
I’m blown away by the condition of this car.
Very nice clean crx bro 👌
