1991 Honda CRX Japan Spec B16A review from North America
"Don't ever ever sell your Rex...!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had the basic wear and tear of city driving. I am a pizza delivery driver and my car runs all day, and most of the evening. Recently I had to replace right front tierod, bushings, brakes, and sport rotors. My car is lowered 3 inches using Ground Control lowering systems and this has caused most of my problems. The clutch is also starting to fail, and will be replaced within the next few weeks.
General comments?
What I love about this car is that with little modification you too can have your own rice rocket. My car originally came with a 1991 Si 1.6 liter engine and it had 180.000 miles on it. I have just recently swapped motors to a Japanese spec motor called a B16A with 180+ horsepower. If you have the time and cash, this is the ultimate in 4 cylinder race cars you could design.
