Hi guys,

Hoping someone can help please :)

Decided to look for a little 91 - 93 Honda CRX - drove one last year for the first time, and decided its time to own one.

The problem is finding one that isn't "wrecked" or consumed with rust...

If anyone has any contacts, please drop me a private message.

My friend recently bought a CRX, and he is looking for some original parts, if you know any CRX owners, please also drop me a private message.

Thank you for the assistance!
 
Used car buying guide: Honda CRX

If the CRX's £6000 price doesn't tempt you, its 8200rpm redline might. But be quick - they're rare and getting dearer

Civic Renaissance Experimental is the accepted definition of CRX, the name of Honda’s compact coupé that ran for three generations spanning 1984 to 1998.

It’s the Mk2 version that’s under the microscope here. The little 2+2 lasted all too briefly from 1988 to 1991 but made the sort of impression that today sees the best cars command prices approaching £20,000. An example is the immaculate CRX with just 15,000 miles on the clock that made £19,000 at auction recently.

Such motors are rare, of course (in fact, with only around 150 CRXs remaining on the roads, the model is rare, full stop). Instead, good, well-cared-for examples with highish mileages can be bought privately for around £6000. Or try your luck at the auctions where, recently, the same figure bagged a tidy 1990-reg with 46,000 miles. Dealers add at least another £2000, aware that prices for good Peugeot 205 GTIs and Renault 5 Turbos have moved out of reach.

What’s all the fuss about? Light (it weighs around 900kg), properly suspended by four double wishbones and powered by a choice of revhappy engines, the CRX was a hoot to drive. The best motor of all was the 1.6-litre VTEC producing 148bhp and redlining at 8200rpm. Below it was a non-VTEC, 128bhp twin-cam 1.6 whose redline was a still spine-tingling 7200rpm. Both featured Honda’s long-established and advanced PGM-Fuel Injection system. The third engine was a non-VTEC 99bhp single-cam 1.5. Not surprisingly, it’s rare.

theres a good condition silver one that I see quite often in the CBD

I suspect the owner is a guy who used to write some satire for news24 10 years ago.
 
Aaah my 16-year old self's reasonable dream car.

Sadly you won't find many in good nick purely because of the simple factor of age and there being very few (allegedly only 200 came into the country).

Still very cool car to have if you'll put the effort in to make it work.

Could be modernized very happily as well I'm sure. Put in a modern Carplay head unit, some tasteful LED lights all round and maybe redo the seats and you've got a pretty funky run around.

Drove the CRX many years ago and drove the CR-Z just last year....and the latter is part and parcel of the same kind of fun.
