Okay I am sure you guys have had plenty of these posts. I have searched and read several threads on here. Sorry for the N00b post.

A friend is looking into buying a Cheap CRX to use as a daily driver. I just wanted to know if there are any known issues that I should keep an eye out for. Other than maintenance things such as timing belt, etc...

Are there any good pages that can explain a little about the CRX's? Like what Gens there are, what engines each uses, etc...?

Thank you for any info you can give me, I appreciate it.

 

http://www.google.com

do a lot of searches on all the ideas that come to ur mind

as far as CRX's.... watch for rust on the wheel wells (back mostly)
engines can run 150,000 + with no mayor tune up...
after wards u want to change water pump, T belt, etc etc...
if its a beater only.... any model willl work

if he plans on having a good one... Si model or HF its his best choice.... the DX and HF have very low HP engines///
Si has sunroof... nice seats, 90-91 have rear discs...

search on the web.... uwill fid a lot of info!

 

depending on you local, look out for rust, anywhere, mainly the rear quarters above the bumper area.

hes probably looking to get a second gen crx(years 88-91)
there are 3 models.

HF:
lightest of all the models
sohc 1.5L. rated somewhere in the 60hp range I THINK.
more headroom(due to not having a moonroof)

DX:
the midle model, has more wieght than the HF and less power then the Si.
more headroom then the Si,(due to no moonroof)

Si:
moonroof,
rear wiper
semi different interior(CRX logo on the door panels)
sohc 1.6L i THINK it was rated at 108 hp,
little differences, such as rear disc brakes on the 90-91 models.

i would look for the complete listing page but im tooo tired, sorry.

if he is NOT looking for a car to just swap, i say go with the si, if he's a tall guy(im 6'2 and have an si and fit with lots of room to spare) and he's just going to swap it right away, then go hf, i think the si is a better all around car(prolly why its the Si model huh ). anyway there my 02.

if im wrong forgive me i havent slept in about 24 hours.

 

damnit USDM 4G VTEC, you beat me to it

 

Cool.
Thanks for the info. I'll tell him to go for the Si. He is about 6'3"

I tried the whole search google thing but just got a bunch of pages that either wanted me to reg with them or where all about swaps/upgrades. Also figured you guys would know a lot more since you have 1st hadn experience.

So only the 90-91's had rear disks?? Or since then?
