Probably the best 1990 CRX Si in existence today. There is a lot to say about this beauty so
please take the time to read all.
128,000 original 2 owner kms (79,400 miles for US customers). For 24 years I owned the Honda Dealership in
my small town in BC. I sold this car new to my
niece who was and is a nurse in Vancouver.
She added the Honda factory air conditioning (dealer installed) kit
which almost no one bought as it was around $1,700 installed at the time. The air blows cold to this day. She kept the car for 11 years, driving it
very little as she lived close to work in Vancouver and walked or used public
transportation as it was easier than trying to find and pay for parking in the
big city. She used the car to come back
to Vernon from time to time to visit family.
In 2001 she traded the car back to me for a CRV as she wanted something
a little bigger and a back seat. The car
had 92000 kms at that time which only reflected a little under 10,000kms per
year driven. She lived in the downtown
eastside of Vancouver an area known for being a little rough. Over the years the car was broken into
several times and had the paint keyed a
couple of times. I have a carproof
report showing the insurance claims for these incidents and they are low
value. The carproof report is available
to interested parties. In 2001 when she
traded the car in I immediately put it away for my son who was then 8 years
old. The car then sat unused for 8 years
waiting for him to get his drivers licence.
In 2010 I took the car out of storage and began prepping it for him to
drive. I ordered and installed a Wings
West body kit and rear spoiler. When
this was installed I had the car repainted as the old paint was faded and scratched. The car was painted in Honda S2000 black (car
was originally Black as well) as my son liked the fact that the S2K Black was
pure with no flake at all. At the same
time I took it to a local high end stereo shop and had a Clifford alarm,
Kenwood stereo with Bluetooth and ipod hookup, and power door locks installed
so that the car could be remotely locked with the alarm. I also had the timing belt, water pump, cam
and crank seals and a 96000km major service performed. We then had lowering springs installed along
with adjustable front arms so that the car could be properly aligned. The arms and alignment were done at a well
known local alignment shop. Last but not
least a front tower strut brace, K&N air filter kit (the expensive whole
kit including intake tubing, not just a filter strapped on), Momo steering
wheel and hub and a pacesetter cat back exhaust which has a nice tone but is
not loud. Most of the modifications are
bolt on and a few of the body kit pieces have been urethaned. For the purist who may want to return it to
stock I have the original front and rear bumper faces in a box along with the
stock springs and air filter box and steering wheel. As my son learned to drive a stick in this
car he eventually wore out the clutch from both age and trying to start out
smoothly. The clutch was replaced using
Honda factory parts at about 115,000kms.
Last fall my son decided that he wanted a little bigger car as well so
he bought a 2008 Civic Si. As he was a
little short on the funds for the Si I purchased the CRX from him and put it
into storage while I built a new house.
The house is done and the car needs to find a new home. This is a very good car. Everything works. The sunroof sticks and needs to be helped to
open but will open if desired. He never
opened it as he used the air all the time.
I just serviced the car and rechecked the brakes, tires etc. and
everything is good to go. There are 5 or 6 small bubbles in the paint at the front of the sunroof panel. Not a structural area and not worth repairing in my mind, I just want to mention anything that may be a negative. See the crinkle in the passenger side of the dash in one of the images and there is a very small tear at the top left of the passenger seat, you can see it in one of the images taken through the hatch. I have a hoist
at my new home and welcome inspections by serious parties. He had 17” mags for most of the time he had
the car but they were low end and 1 cracked and had to be thrown out along with
the tire that went flat when it broke (the wheels are obsolete and a new one is
no linger available). I have the other 3
17” tires which will go with the car if desired and are in good shape. This car has never wanted for anything. If my son needed something he simply came to
the dealership and I had it looked after.
All servicing was done at regular intervals but of course I have few written
records as it was done on “shop time”.
Last year just before he purchased the Civic someone backed into the CRX
damaging the hood. The person was good
enough to leave their information and we had it repaired under insurance to the
tune of $1,556. New hood and emblem were
the only parts required, the rest was paint and labor. Feel free to call me Peter at 250 503 8553
for any clarification on any of the above.
I would not hesitate to get in this car and head for Florida tomorrow as
I know just how good it really is. Pics at http://s1038.photobucket.com/user/cosmod250/library/1990%20CRX%20Si?sort=3&page=1 So the usual caveats, if you want an inspection do it first not after the auction ends. I can recommend several local shops that have no particular allegiance to me ( I sold out and retired 2 years ago). The car is for sale and advertised locally so the auction may be terminated at any time without notice. $1,000 paypal deposit within 24 hours of auction close. 0 feedback call before bidding. This is not some hacked up kids car. Drive train is stock and original except as noted. Car has been driven respectfully and cared for well. The reserve is less than I paid for the body kit, paint, stereo, alarm, camber kit etc. Destined to become a classic. I know I am way out in the sticks but shipping will be reasonable or better yet fly into YLW and drive it home, ship the box with the stock parts. In a major market this car is gone overnight, out here I have to work a little harder. |

Honda Civic Concept is your average neon green, turbocharged show stealer [w/video]
Wed, Apr 1 2015At an auto show where the hottest cars and concepts are increasingly shown off the night before the official doors even open, surprises are rare. But Honda pulled off a big one this afternoon, with a nuclear green Civic Concept that takes dead aim at the brand's naysayers. Honda "concept" cars have tended towards the literal in recent years, and never has that been more exciting than with this coupe. The prelude to the tenth-generation Civic has a face that fits in well enough with the company's current lineup, but the rest of the bodywork feels far more JDM-inspired. The sides are complex without being too busy, and the bold graphic elements, especially the wraparound taillight, seem punctuate the mass. You might not dig the green meanie as much as we do, but if you're a Honda fan (even lapsed) the performance news should have you high-fiving your nearest bro. To start, Honda has confirmed that this Civic will be the first in the US to incorporate turbocharged VTEC engines. The turbo'd 1.5-liter four will get hooked up to both a six-speed manual and a CVT. Civic is also going to get a bodystyle that Honda has neglected in our country for too long: the five-door hatchback. A moment of silence, please... Of course sedans and coupes will be part of the mix, too. But perhaps the most exciting news for lead-footed fan boys will be the inclusion of both a Civic Si and the Nurburgring-champion Civic Type R for our market. We'd both hoped and suspected that the Type R might make the leap to North America, and Honda hasn't disappointed. The gen-ten Civic will go on sale in the US this fall, though no specifics have yet been offered about which variants will be first and last. Stay tuned. Honda Debuts Sportiest Civic Design in Brand History with 10th-Generation Civic Concept at New York International Auto Show - 10th-generation, 2016 model year Civic focuses on sporty, fun-to-drive dynamics - Civic lineup to include Sedan, Coupe, and 5-door Hatchback body types, as well as Si and Type-R versions - First Honda model to apply new VTEC® Turbo engines in North America Civic, America's most popular small car is designed, developed and produced in North America Today Honda unveiled its ultra-sporty Civic Concept at the New York International Auto Show as the brand prepares to launch its completely reimagined 10th-Generation Civic models beginning this fall.
Honda, Chevy reveal low-drag speedway aero for Indy 500
Sun, May 3 2015As the two automakers currently participating in the IndyCar Series, both Chevy and Honda were invited this year not only to provide engines to the teams on the starting grid, but to develop their own aerodynamics packages as well. Both revealed their designs for the road-course races a few months ago, but with the Indy 500 approaching at break-neck speed, they've now unleashed their aero approaches for speedways. Both are based on the Dallara DW12 chassis introduced to the series a couple of years ago, but sacrifice some of their downforce at the altar of speed. And you can tell as much from looking at them: both Honda (above) and Chevy (below) have streamlined their designs, with single-plane front wings, lower-profile rear wings and fewer winglets on the body and around the wheels in between. The idea is to allow the cars to reach higher top speeds with less drag, while offering the necessary amount of downforce for the banked turns. With the four opening road-course rounds complete, teams using either automaker's equipment will keep the existing aero kits on their cars for the Grand Prix of Indianapolis on the infield course next week, then switch to the speedway package for the Indianapolis 500 later this month. Then it'll be back and forth for the rest of the season as the circus switches between road courses and speedways. Honda Unveils 2015 IndyCar Super Speedway Aero Kit Apr 30, 2015 - SPEEDWAY, Indiana - To be used at the Indianapolis 500 - Manufacturer seeking 11th Indianapolis 500 victory since 2004 - First public running to take place Sunday at Indianapolis Honda today debuted the "Super Speedway" aero kit of aerodynamic upgrades and components its teams will use at this year's 99th running of the Indianapolis 500. The Honda Super Speedway Aero Kit, produced by Honda Performance Development, Honda's racing arm in North America, includes a variety of individual aerodynamic components fitted to the existing Honda-powered Dallara Indy car chassis. All are intended to give Honda's six Indy car teams – encompassing a potential 17 '500' entrants - the ability to maximize performance at the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval and other large ovals ( over one mile in length) on the 2015 Verizon IndyCar Series schedule. "We're excited to unveil our Super Speedway aero kit, the newest element in this era of enhanced manufacturer competition in the Verizon IndyCar Series," said Art St. Cyr, president of HPD.
Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off
Fri, Nov 21 2014Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
