i just bought it but have doubts that its an authentic si. the title says si. but the body says otherwise!!! what are some tell tale signs of it being an authentic si?! its a shell btw.

 

for 1 the sunroof and on mine its said crx in the door panels btu not sure on other models...and the 1.6 sohc

 

ok koo i got the sunroof and one door card is missing but the one thats there says crx, aren't they supposed to have all disc brakes??

 

Front disc, rear drums.
Mirrors should be body colored.

 

great so i do have a si!!

 

91 SI's where the only ones to have rear discs.

 

o i see! thanks! u guys have been great!

 

I thought the 90 had rear discs too. I have an 88 si and the mirrors are NOT body colored. they are black. Cant you also look for a lower sway bar on the si only?

Yep, rear lower sway is Si.

There are a few other tale tale signs but the major ones are covered. D16A6 as an engine stamp on the block would tell you for one.

 

look at the VIN number - Si is ED9

 

Like... JHMED93xxxxxx is an 88 crx si. D16A6 with a 5 speed. moonroof and swaybar. Black mirrors on the 88.

 

awesome! i got an si then! hahaha i closed the door and the moonroof jumped up!!!

Perfectly normal as long as it isnt a huge jump. Mine does it and so do all the other ones ive been in. It is the air pressure the rapid closing door makes. Our sunroofs arent supposed to be sealed, thats why we have drain tubes for the water. Designed to leak, but in an efficient way

 

every crx si i've seen is easiest spotted for the sunroof... but also front n rear disc brakes. where r u guys seeing them with front disc n rear drums???

 

In my garage.

 

I am not exactly sure about the 90 having rear discs or not but when I called the dealer for ebrake cables for my hatch they found them for the 91 SI.

 

cross reference the vin number at honda.

Word.

Don't forget the Si seats, black-only interior, and quicker steering ratio.

 

maybe it's these dam c.a. models but my 91 had f/r disc n my 89 has them n the 91 was out of state from the 2nd owner who ran a body shop the 89 was bought 2nd owner in his 30's original owner was 40's neither gave a crap bout cars proved by the $3000 in brake work for a crx... which is more then the car value

 

88-89 Si's have front disc/rear drum
90-91 Si's have front and rear disc
