1990 Honda CRX HF review from North America
"The real first sport compact of the USA"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The main relay went bad and that cost $6. Nothing else has gone bad.
General comments?
Wonderful styling and economy. The car is quite torquey at low RPM's, but no power above 4200 RPM's. To fix the sluggishness I put a 16-valve head and a SOHC ZC camshaft, Si intake manifold system and injectors, Iceman cold air intake, 4-2-1 header and sport exhaust. Nothing fancy just the basics to get my little 1967 lbs CRX to go fast! Honda has the best suspension around so it's very fun even with the 8-valve head. The change is not really necessary because the car is very lightweight making good use of it's 62 HP an 90 lbs. of torque. If you find an HF CRX don't hesitate on buying one.
