Well - first of all hellow from North European corner - Latvia

Actually this topic is more planned for European users as I am wondering about all differences between theese two CRX 2generation bodies - ED9 and EE8

the amount of information in my country is very thin so I expect to your knowledges and advices - Iam going to buy CRX and i d like to know is it useful to save more money and choose VTEC or accept ED9 with its D16A9/Z5 engine
i got this link and there are all available mods: http://www.civic4g.com/specs.htm

I have that 5 post limit for 2 weeks but Ill sit here as spectator hoping on Your welldoing

THANK U

 

get the top model, Si-R or Vti or whatever its called there. the Dual Cam vtec model. you wont regret it.

 

there are not so much offers of Vtec CRX in Europe and the price is so much higher than the price of nonVTEC CRX of the same year producing

I was looking for info in this forum but I didnt found ANY topics where people would refered some specifications and all kind of differences between BODIES of this Honda

No doubt that VTEC CRX isbetter - it has not only B16 engine but also different brakes, suspension etc - This is what Id like to find out - what else is different

THANK U

anyway Ill sell that default B16 - i want CRX for serious hibrid creating - im going to swap B16 to B18 or to selfmade B20 engine so Im now more intrested in theese differences exactly in BODIES of CRX 2gen

 

this is what i gethttp://www.google.lv/search?as...arch=

yea - i gess - ill have enough to do this evening to check all this but I still beleve that Your experience could help me more

hope to see Ya

 

I think the Body is the same. Just better options. Better brakes system, Front bumper looks better, etc.

 

Where you located? Looks like Im not going to be able to import mine back to the U.S., so it might be up for sale

I have a '91 Crx VT (Vtec) its an extremely clean, awesome car. Im not sure of the differences, but I would definately for the VT with the b16a1 engine.

 

no no - I definetly know that there are lot of innovations and mods in VTEC CRX - its not only body kit, gauges and leather Recaro seats - its all about radically different suspension and stabilization system and ofcourse VTEC engine - and i want to find out theese mods
Thanx

 

@keebler: where is the car? might know someone to take it off your hands if the price, and off course condition of the car, is right...

IM me

 

Yo - hello all U CRX 2gen pals - dont U really hav no interess & nothing interesting to say about the most incredible coupe in small class - Vti CRX

Havnt anyone made some suspension mods and so on??? - just engine swaps and thats all???

aim looking forvard to see something from U soon

 

Body is different in numerous ways. Basically everything was re-designed from the windshield forward.

The EE8 is an overweight fat bitch. You're better off with a B16 hybrid and a set of big brakes.

YEEEAHHH - commonn - go on - what are theese differences, that we can not shange by any suspension kits - the basic differences - do anyone know them ???

hoping on u all

what do You advice me to do - buy non Vtec CRX rex and boost it or swap to B16 or collect a bit mor $$$ and buy EE8 as it is in default

 

Well the bonnet on the EE8 is different and does not have the small buldge of the ED9, also the front bumpers are different the European ED9's, apart from the late ED9's which have EE8 bumpers

The wings and doors are the same I think, not sure about the rear quarters. Weight wise the differences are probably mainly explained by the heavier b16 engine and the weighty leather seats found in European VT's

Our European leather Recaro Rulzzz

that's all right, but still thats not so important - moldings and bumpers are different - so what ???

is ANYONE informed about any diffs with non-styling and non-engine - I mean - something important to say about suspension - knuckle/hub, stabilizer differences

 

Dont the vt's have the sir (jdm) sized rotors? The 10.2" ones? Over the 9 somrthing " ones that the states si's get?

 

It seems the most popular CRX EDM model was the 1.6 16V non-vtec D16A8/9
Should be able to find them all over Europe. the D16A8/9 is a really good engine you should buy it if you can find a good price.

Hey keebler-I talked to that importer and she said no go as well, if under 25 years, sorry. PM me if you want the whole story. LOL

 

Andzey:
From reading European pospekts, I can not tell any MAJOR differences between 1.6 16V suspensions and the VT suspensions.
Except maybe spring rate and shock valving.
However understand that is only from what I read. I have NEVER seen one in person in the US.
I believe the only important differences are the engine and the fine tuing.
The ED7, ED8 is still a good car even without VTEC and B16. IMHO

 

me just can add this site:
http://www.schroderautototaal.nl/sir/history.htm
i guess itis the most best piece of text for such a beginners as Iam - there U can see all progress in ingineering of Honda

nice
