What is it like running errands in a 28yr old b16 CRX?
I have had several people asking me to do more content on my CRX. It's a 1991 HF with a b16 and even though I put so much time and work into restoring it, I use the heck out of it. Follow me on a typical day running errands in my little gas saving go kart as I tell a little more about the history of my build.

I am 55 years old, I had a 88 CRXsi in my 20's. As years passed by, I have owned 94 Euro BMW M3, 97 Porsche 993, 2005 Corvette. I have to be honest, the CRXsi was the most fun car of them all. I miss that car the most. It did everything. Thanks for sharing you video. Guard that CRX with you life.

Yeah I've always liked the simplicity of this car with the b16 swap and how it's just era correct. It was very fast for its time and every build has a purpose. This was just to be a very clean, quick enough to have fun driver. It's been an awesome journey but I'm selling it very soon to move onto a new project I've already purchased. Time for something completely different! 1966 c10 short bed bagged and ls swapped! It's just a rolling shell right now. Lots of years of work to go on this one!
Years ago I had an 91 Crx Si with a ZC swap. I loved that car and used to race it here in the socal area at the time. Well in one month it was stolen twice most likely from the kids I used to race on the weekends. I felt I had to sell it before it gets stolen again.....I regretted that from day one. About 15 years later my father in law asked me if I wanted his 91 Crx Si because he knew to this day I miss that car (of course I said yes to the car!). I will never sell (or Race! i'm too old for that) that car and now I will teach my kids how to drive on that car! My happiness from the Crx is through the roof! Those cars are special! Only the people who have owned one knows what I am talking about. Beautiful ride!

Just what we need... a nice clean crx!
That engine sounds great
That supershort pod filter straight onto the throttle body would not be at all healthy for the motor. I know it looks cleaner without any piping but it wouldnt be getting the correct cold air from the front. Also would be lacking natural power having hot engine bay air and not reaching behind the block to surpass into the aircleaner. Going a factory B16 aircleaner box and pipe would look super nice and also look after the motor alot better in the long run. Fellow honda owner from Australia. Great video and beautiful ride.

Thanks. I've covered this about 10 times in the comments already. My car is definitely a mix of function and form. The air filter is definitely on the side of form. Yes I'm making less hp having it this wag but I put a ton of work shaving my bay and want to show it off. Plus, it's really such little power diff either way I don't really care. And because my bay is shaved I no longer have any of the mounting holes for a stock box. If I want to make more power I take big steps like boosting it or rip it out and swap in a K20. Or maybe put a b20 block under it. I agree that stick boxes look great but no longer possible in this car because I chose to go a different route. If I had a stock bay I'd run the box. My bay is highly modified. Thanks for watching
Super clean CRX!

Thanks! Thats because I used the same exact paint on the valve cover as the outside is the case!
Brings back memories of my 91Si. Good show!
My 93 Civic is my DD! Only I had stripped it out like a track car! Still has a d15b8 with z6 head! And she's rough! Someday I'll paint!!! Great car!!!

Thanks man. Keep it. They aren't worth much to sell so you may as well keep it and make it nice.
Had a 90 DX in Torino Red Pearl also with a JDM B16A swap, I built the car back in 1998. Great car, I'd love to own one again but that ship has sailed for greener pastures.
Just got an 89 CRX its rough but clean title. The journey begins.

I used to have a yellow crx si and it was cool lil car wish it had the b16a like yours. Clean ride bro.
Hmmm might start restoring my 89 when I get another vehicle. Been driving mine for a little over a year. Great car minus a few issues that the last owner did to the car.
I have a 1990 crx, its all stock except the wheels, i wont sell it, has 234000 miles, and its still pulls hard.its in great conditions, a yellow barbadows.
That’s a cool little car nice work man congrats 👍🏼👍🏼
Im working on boost for my CRX HF with B16A swap right now, these are one of my fav cars mine is not as clean but i have been offered 6k for it a couple times lol still wont sell its my forever car.
About to pick up a del sol vtec factory b16 auper clean. I could only afford single cams in my teens and here i am 40 getting what i wanted 20 years ago lol

I know the feeling lol. I just saw a super nice clean completely stock del Sol in a really nice neighborhood the other day which made me really happy to see in a neighborhood full of super fancy new cars lol. I definitely like the CRX platform better but the Dell sol is pretty cool and just about as hard to find as a clean CRX these days. Especially the VTEC model.
Super clean CRX. Upload more CRX content! Hello from Nebraska ✌️

@@frederickhasselbrinck8010 that's a good question. My car is very custom and prices for these cars are all over the place these days. I really don't know how to price it. I also have actual JDM wheels on it now so that makes it worth a little more. Talking to other people that have sold some really nice CRX's I'm hoping to get somewhere around the $10,000 range. I haven't decided yet but I'm a put it on an auction or something like that but I'm not really sure.

@@frederickhasselbrinck8010 yeah I feel like the crx is one of the more collectible models so I've got that going for me. They have been growing in popularity a lot lately. Hondas don't hold value that great in general which is part of of why my new project is a 66 chevy c10. If I put the same amount of work into it as I have my crx it will be a $35k truck.
That is a beautiful piece you have there...
I’m always happy to see a car with a good use :)
I appreciate your crx and like may other commenters it brings back a lot of great memories of the many crxs that I had. I encourage you to keep building it however you dream!
