90 CRX DX 1.5 5spd 160K Sapphire Blue
Belts, Alternator, Water & Fuel Pump, Battery, Plugs & Wires, and Filters replaced around 5K ago
Clutch replaced around 5k ago
Transmission serviced @ Oil change @ 158K
Axles, Calipers, Rotors, EBC Pads, SS Brake Lines, Cylinders & Shoes replaced less then 2K ago
Vehicle was purchased to be a daily driver and all work was done for reliability purposes. This is a fine example of one of Honda’s great cars from 2 decades ago. Virtually rust free with clean interior for 20 years old. Vehicle has always started at the turn of a key and idles right at 1K. Engine temp stays steady around a quarter up and never fluctuates. No warning lights of any kind and shifts smooth with no grinding. The throw-out bearing is wearing and sometimes will make a spinning noise while in neutral with out the clutch pushed in. Oil pan gasket does leak but not drastic enough for me to replace at this time. A/C was working but just recently developed a leak. It will need to be overhauled and converted to work properly. The last time I used it, it did cool, just not well.
As with any 20 year old vehicle it is not perfect. Paint has chips and minor scratches from daily driving. The doors drag a little and scratched the inside of the door. These imperfections by no means take away the beauty of the vehicles color. All is painted except for under hatch and engine bay. Car was originally black. Rear bumper has a small crack above tag area and a slight crack in driver side tail light. Windshield is cracked on passenger side edge and window gaskets are not in the best of shape. I’ve done some sealing on the vehicle and there are no leaks to the interior. Exhaust is an eBay special from the previous owner and is piece together. Its solid just not pretty underneath and muffler is dented on the bottom.
Interior has the common seat belt tears in both doors and a few barely noticeable imperfections. Has SI seats that have been re-upholstered. The rear hatch divider and carpet is the only piece not original. Currently it has a civic hatch blue divider and carpet. Vehicle is wired for amplifiers and subwoofers. Has a Alpine CD player with Pioneer front and Alpine rear speakers.
Suspension is Eibach springs with Tokico struts. Tie Rods are worn and should be replaced along with some bushings. Vehicle also needs to be aligned, which I’ve been putting off until suspension work was done. Front tires are above 50% tread left and rears are worn on the outer edge. I had those two flipped on the wheels due to toe wear and put on the rear. I also have GSR fat five wheels that may be included with the sale. There in decent re-finishing conditions, which was my plan.
Only reason for sale is the need for a small gas efficient pickup for work. I have over 4G invested and this vehicle is ready to run for many more miles. All issues stated above are minor other then the tie rod and alignment. If time is available I may fix that issue and/or wheels may be put on depending on how long vehicle is in my possession. I’ve done my best to describe everything I know about this vehicle and is sold as is.

Also headlights no longer have eyebrows. I'm going to try and get some pictures of the undercarriage this afternoon. If you want a specific picture just let me know.
thanks
