1991 Honda CRX Si JDM review from North America
"The ultimate tuner"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has no problems, probably has to do with the JDM (Japan Do-Luck Marque) parts.
General comments?
I purchased the car with the hopes of making the ultimate street racer.
It has an automatic transmission, but I put in a manual-style shift knob to look cool.
At 14500 miles, I bought a set of Japanese 20 inch rims, for the back wheels. I couldn't afford the front ones, so I left the stock ones on until I could afford rims.
At 46504 miles, I put the American 17 inch rims on the front.
Installed NOS at 150000 miles, and it makes the car do 120 miles per hour.
This car is a chick-magnet and everybody is jelous of me with my JDM car.
The interior was dull and boring, so I stripped out everything and then put it all back in with one racing seat, one stock seat, and imitation carbon fiber and roll bars. I also put in a boost meter, so people think that my car is fast.
I put on a body kit and a huge hood scoop on a few years ago, in the process I put primer the whole car and then never got to actually painting it, so I used a spray can and some scotch-tape.
This Civic is the best car on the road and is the envy of all the other street racers out there.
I would highly recommend this car if you want to get the ladies.
