1990 Honda CRX DX review from North America
"A great daily driver with power potential"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Alignment from not re-aligning the car after installing a coilover drop kit.
Valve cover gasket needed to be replaced at 136400 after replacing the water pump. Water pump was also replaced at about 136400.
Fuel tank leak at approx. 140000 due to lowering my car too much. I think it may be from speed bumps.
Drivers seat left lumbar has torn fabric. Easy fix I'm just lazy.
General comments?
Due to it's high mileage when I bought the car it didn't perform properly and most of the money I have spent on it has gone to things other than the problems at hand. For example, drop springs, shocks / struts, strut tie bars, stereo equipment when they all were in good condition.
The CRX is a great car and if you can find one in good mechanical condition it's also a great deal. The Arizona weather doesn't promote rust so the car stayed in great condition with only minor dings and dents. I'd love to have a few more CRXs.
