i own a 1990 honda crx
im not sure if its base,si,or hf

how can i tell?
im positive its base.

and also where can i get an axle or cv joint because when i ride it, it goes up and down.
when it went up on a lift and spun the tire would waddle

 

Does it have a sunroof or a tach. Sounds like you have a wheel bearing out,
not a cv. When a cv goes out it will click when turning.

Spot on, post some pics of your car, we will be able to tell you what model you have pretty quickly.

 

go to the dealer with the vin, its the only way to really tell. Anyone could have put a new roof skin on or swapped motors.

 

Or shaved off and re engraved the vin.

 

The likehood of either of those previously mentioned options are low.

It's it's DPFI then it's for sure a base model. If it's MPFI it's SI or HF, and if it's SI you will have a electric sunroof.

 

Here's a few more things to tell if you've got a DX, Si, or HF...some have already been repeated by oh well...

- HF Engine block reads D15B6, DX engine blcok reads D15B2, Si will read D16XX (I don't know since I've never looked for an Si)

- Si will say 16 Valve or VTEC on your valve cover

- HF Stock steering wheel have 2.

- HF don't have a rear hatch wiper, DX and Si's do.

- HF tach redline start at 5000rpm.

- Under hood will say MPFI for HF and SI. DX will say DPFI.

- Only DX came with automatic transmission.

- Si seats have side bolstering that go all the way to the top and have a hole in the head rests.

- DX seats have side bolstering that go all the way to the top like Si but don't have a hole in the head rests.

- HF seats have side bolstering only up to about half the way back portion and don't have a hole in the head rests.

Also try doing a google search for your VIN and click on the only link (a carfax link) and it will give you the basic info about your car and about 90% of the time it also tells you the model trim (Si, DX, or HF).

Good luck.

won't say VTEC on a USDM car form 88-91 unless the motor is swapped.

also, my 91 std hatchback (d15) said 16 valve even though it was DPFI

Si/DX will say 16 Valve, HF will say 8 Valve, none will say VTEC.

2 spokes instead of 3.

Rear wiper was optional on DXs neither of mine have one. Allthough I think all Sis have a rear wiper and no HFs do.

 

wow 97ss good job

my personal opinion, sun roof or not?
then what color is the interior? u can most likely get your answer with those two questions

 

Thanks for the corrections/clarification fellas....I knew I would have some typos.

 

yeah when i would break it would click

so even if its my cv joint could i get just an axle assembly to fix it all.

heres my carfax info: so what type do i have

You have a Honda CRX.

You do not have a Honda CRX Si

You do not have a Honda CRX Hf

There was no Honda CRX DX, it is just a Honda CRX with a D15B2 Dual Point.

 

Toad's right...there weren't any CRX DX's...so you have a base CRX.
I belive they did have a Civic DX model at the time so I think that's where the DX creeps in CRX lingo.
Plus I'm sure someone can correct me on this but I'm 99% sure CRX's were originally sold as a Civic CRX, so there's another way for the Civic DX trim creeping into the CRX world

You definately have a base (not a HF or Si)

 

sweet thanks alot

 

97SS that is strange, when i had a "dx" haha they always had that question at a car shop.

from them...

what year? 1990
what make? honda
what model? crx
what type model? dx

dx was always in there databases, maybe they just cant put "base" lol, no idea @@
