Love the CRX, brilliant motahs. I got a Mk1 but having been in a Mk2 I'm slightly jealous. They handle soooo well. Good choice.

Nice, very nice. no wonder one of these came up as a recent suggestion for a great fun daily. I'd forgotten how good they look!  How hard are these to get at these days? not noticed many on the roads. |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

same as anything over 15 years old. look and ye shall find! there is an online owners forum, and parts are shared with many hondas so not too bad for spares/upgrades etc.

yo! I'm a fellow CRX owner too! who are you on crx uk? I have a mk2 16v with vtec B16a conversion, all the lightness from the 16v shell and all power from the B16 vtec. revs to 8600rpm and vtec kicks in at 4500rpm and is fully engaged by 5000rpm. mine looks totally standard but will eat almost anything else on the road thats not turbo'd or done to the curse word. this is mine  no rust either  |

No rust? It's a CRX man, you obviously aren't looking hard enough!

well mine did have rust, had it in the usual places, the sunroof (changed by previous owner for a clean one), the sills (new ones welded in perfectly by previous owner) and the rear arches which i got sorted out. all the major rust done and forgoten about. theres the odd bit of surface rust and small bubbles but nothing to worry about. 99% rust free |

Ha, loves the rust does Matty. I've sort of got another and it's a complete state. It literally makes the 'Benz and CRX look concours...
V8 transplant is going slowly but re-wired the loom and found nearly all the bits I need. Managed to get some 15" steels off an S Class so I can keep the Beirut taxi hubcaps. Considering banding them but not sure, hopefully they'll be OK as is but a smidge of dish would be radical.
How's the Scorp? Still chilling? Still farting around with 2 wheels?
Soz to jack, twincammy...

Oh no! I hope whoever stacked it is OK. Has the mkII got polymer panels, too? They've got the structural integrity of a popadom...
