Honda Civic (third Generation) - CRX

CRX

The CRX was a Civic with a slightly different body; it was strictly a 2-seater in the US with a lockable storage compartment, while it was offered to the rest of the world with a rear seat. The CRX lineup added the Si model in 1985 which used Honda's PGM-FI fuel injection on the 1,488 cc four-cylinder; in the United States this generated 91 hp (68 kW) while other markets received a considerably more powerful DOHC, 1.6-litre unit. The Si model added an intricately designed rear wiper, sports seats, and a power sunroof. The CRX Si was also identifiable by body-colored bumpers in 1986, new four-spoke alloy wheels and a body-colored rubber spoiler, now mounted on the back of the hatch as opposed to on the top portion of the lid. A two-tone paint scheme was standard in 1985 in black or red over gray-silver. The two tone paint job (which featured plastic polymer panels) was standard on HF and DX models from 1984 until it's redesign in 1988. The 13-inch alloy wheels were fitted with 175/70R13 Michelin MXL tires. The comparatively quicker inline-four engine propelled the CRX Si from 0–60 mph in under 9 seconds.

Later, the miserly CRX HF joined the model lineup. This version used a CVCC-head equipped EW series 1.5 liter engine, replacing the original CRX 1.3.
