Love this car. Very rare now. Its not a standard front bumper is it?

metzengerstein

its the nicest crx ive seen around

My brother races a CRX track car and my dad has a standard 92 SiR EG9.

I love driving his EG9, the only thing I'll criticise is the lack of an economy 6th gear for motorway cruising.

Nope - replica Mugen bumper. Also has side skirts, rear bumper and rare as flip mugen spiler.

Fully adjustable suspension too because going faster round corners is far more fun than going faster in a straight line.

Vigour is similar to the Legend no? I've seen a few of them around the place.
his thread is making me miss my CRX.

I had a 94 Si VTEC, the H22A is/was such a great engine. I regret selling it

no very diffrent,vigour and inspire are made off the chassis of 1989-1990 accord a rare accord to see around now very big ..

but everything else is diffrent engine and interior wise some similarities in the body from the side and a little in the front , vig and inspire share the same engine bit of a unique one and some of the setups are odd ..i love the inspire its my fave car ever and very sentimental would love to find more people with them but i seem to be the only person with it .have found a few vigours alrite

in america they are very popular and have a big range of inspires rangeing from bout 1990 to present

you really badly need to lower that...its up like a scared cat!

E39MSport

oh yeahhhh, had a mint 94 H22A BB4. Sold it to a lad in Kildare who worked for Intel. I miss it. However, I wouldn't drive it now.

edit: saw an nsx in the uk yesterday. Would love one but don't think I would drive that either...

Sure - and 18" wheels... :rolleyes: Maybe if I was 21 again and I thought suspension travel was overrated.

It is actually lowerd 15mm. To lower it more requires a camber kit and I've only seen one kit that will actually fit the JDM CRX suspension.

I've got me one of those cars stimpson has/had, although not quite as blinged up as his. Love the fun and reliability of them.

The one RoverJames had is pretty much the prettiest Honda in years IMO. My brother had one, and I begged him to give it to me (Was 20 at the time). Still toy with the idea of getting one, and doing a complete restoration and respray on it.

needs to be as low as a turtles sack






ya cant say that doesnt look the part:)

I've been a honda fan since I started driving..
I don't really like any of the newer Hondas, with a couple of exceptions..

I started off with this-
1991 Honda Civic. 1.3l Jap. This was written off by some scumbags who drove into it head on one night in a stolen car. Sorry about the bad pic..


Upgraded to a 1995 Honda Civic Coupe. 1.5l non vtec, but still nippy.
This was a lovely car to drive.


From there, I 'upgraded' to a 1992 CRX Del Sol SiR. Never clicked with it though. Transtop roof was too gimmicky, and the previous owner had lowered it to a ridiculous height, and had put a stupid exhaust on it.


Got rid of the Del Sol, and upgraded properly, to the car I have now. It's not pre 1995, but it's a 4th gen, which ran 1992-1996 so I reckon it counts
Honda Prelude 2.2Vtec Cracking car, completely standard.

Im mad about eg's but thats one of the most rediculous looking cars ive ever seen

pcardin

I used to have only one Honda in my life. Accord Aerodeck C5. Loved that car and still love it. Would be happy to buy but can't really find one anymore.

@Metzengerstein, what was the story with the red 5 Series BMW?

T83

Thats on bags, no way is it actually driven like that.... and were in Ireland, dont exactly have the roads for going that low. The guy who owns the CRX looks to have set it up to actually be a decent drive not something that can only travel 4mph and has to avoid speedbumps or risk being a seesaw.

^^ Its from Cali

I'm not a fan of the alloys almost flush with arches/camber adjusted look at all, but the EG is without a doubt the best civic.

The fact that they're usually the choice for most time attackers speaks volumes about the chassis too.

I know, my Ireland comment was meant to be an argument for not lowering the crx any further, I didnt think that was Ireland.

I love the EG, I keep telling myself I'll pick one up some day then I keep buying Golf GTI's and whatnot. I stood in the Tesco carpark staring at one sitting on jmags for a good 10 mins a few weeks ago and had to be dragged away.

Yes, not in car form though

I'm tempted to pick up another one for next to nothing too, they still look good nearly 20 years on. They don't make them like that anymore :P

They are a savage bus, mine was the sh1tter of the range really, no VTEC and auto, still was well impressed with it. Great handling, it made the SS2 Celica I had seem like a fat ole yoke.

Thanks - was my daily drive. She has progressively wound springs and damper/height adjustable shocks on 15" rims. It was set up to go around corners - not to impress youngwans

Sterling Archer

Oh old civics are just my favourite cars... frankly they just look so dam pretty
My mother has a honda beat 91, some car think a mini s2000, except mid engined and rwd

But i'd love to pick up a civic rtsi.. savage motor..

Mike Litoris

I aint a fan of Honda's really but I do love the look of the 91-95 Civics. Honda really made a dogs dinner of that style when they changed.

Midnight_EG

The FN8 is when Civics started to look wrong

Wow i make it with 4 days to spare,I Love old hondas heres my EK4
