I bought my CRX a few years back, don't remember which model it is, my title doesn't say. Is there a way I can tell from the VIN? Thanx Kevin

 

if it had a sunroof it was an more than likely it was an si

no sun roof, rear drum brakes, 1.6l motor

 

show us a picture and we'll tell you immediately (or at least i will)

 

sounds like a dx

 

Read the FAQ and educate yourself. Or do a search.

This has been covered so much it isn't funny.

Most idiot proof method: check the VIN.

a little searching never hurt anyone. it says civic but goes for crx also

 

if it has rear drums and a 1.6 then its swapped

both the unnamed DX and HF came with a 1.5L motor(D15B2, D15B6)

the Si came with a 1.6L(D16A6)

if your motor has a black box above the intake manifold that says DPFI then you have a DX

if not its either an HF or an Si

but pictures would help much

 

Here ya go:http://i394.photobucket.com/albums/p...7/91CRX001.jpg

 

Yes it's got a civic hatch motor in it when I bought it (not sure of the year).

 

well its def a 90-91

rear shot?

and also a cluster shot would help

or check out your vin, if it says ED8 its a DX
ED9 is an Si

does it have a rear wiper?

 

90-91 model.
88-89 fender lights. they have screw into the fenders , instead of the push in and mount to the headlights

 

Just found my title, and checked it against the list posted, and should be a dx. The second set 3 numbers is ED8 which isn't listed? Rear wiper, yes. I'd love to take more pix, but it's out back of the shop, and it's like 25 dergees here in Ohio...

 

yup, you have a DX model

 

Thanx to all who replied, I am starting to gather parts for my motor swap, and was trying to figure out what I had, so I would know what I needed... Kevin

 

I think 88-89 dx model, the interiors are different

 

not unless someone swapped out the front bumper and rear tails

88-89 have orange(amber) bumper lights without the "air ducts" present in the 90-91

90-91 have clear bumper lights, with "air ducts"

 

it's def a 91, and now I know it's a dx

 

I was wrong,
I think it's a 88-89 HF
Te corner lenses are 88-89, you can tell by the screws on the side. And the bumper lamps are also 88-89, you can tell by the size, the 88-89 are smaller. I'm thinking it's an HF because the op said he had a 1.6 Li, so the swap would've been more straight foward.
And the antenna mounts are different
DX and si have a metal glossy piece,
hf has a flat black plastic piece.
This is in the FAQ

 

you need to learn your CRX body info a bit more, or at least look at a picture of a 88-89 CRX and a 90-91, if you did this earlier you would definitely be able to tell that its a 90-91

and HF's didnt have rear wipers like his does

i think i know since i drive a 91 CRX DX

and doesn't matter if the swap would be more straight forward, any swap is possible

 

Are the seatbelts on the door or pillar?

 

door mounted

and hes already said its a 91

 

I didnt know the dx had wiper?

 

yeah the DX and Si both had a rear wiper, the HF was missing this feature

 

was that an 90-91 feature?
my 88 dx didn't have a wiper.
