I like them

Sorry I'm bored

Let's talk about what we like and dislike about them.

My likes

Simple car
Good suspension
Still a lot of aftermarket support
Light and nimble

Dislikes

Rust
Countless previous owners leaving behind horrible problems
Getting hard to find
Drivers fenders

no blind spots big windows everywhere but they never have ac anympre

not really my type of car but that black one is looking cleannnnnn

Hate them, theyre all boxy and most that i see look like shit.


If someone shows me an exceptionally clean EF(not rice) i MIGHT change my mind on them.

Mehhh idk i think its just because its so square, i hate boxy cars. But the second one is pretty nice. Its nicely done.

Personally I don't like them either. I had a CRX for a while and I liked it while I had it.. but I just had to move forward a generation or two.. lol I feel the same way its something to do with the shape.. but if they are done right some of them can be super clean.

Likes:
-Light
-The best sleeper car
-Quirky
-Superb fuel economy

Dislikes:
-I haven't seen a clean one in a while
-Engine bay is too small
-OEM replacement parts can be difficult to find
-Most people that own them are morons
-Creaks and rattles
-Headlights are complete shit
-I'm always worried about wrecking it

P.S. I still need a hood for mine

I have a free one for you

I have loved my EF hatch for 20 years and counting and my CRX for 10 years and counting:

Likes:

Light
My suspension makes it ride like a dream, corner and rotate like a demon
Just so simple
Easy to work on
Body Style
Pocket Rocket
Headlights are brighter than my EG
They make me smile everytime I enter my garage
Keep these cars stupid simple and they'll run forever
I owned my hatch before anyone ever thought about stealing them

Dislikes:

No cupholders - just one would have been nice
Body parts and transmissions are becoming harder to find
Kids still steal them
Insurance is high

Isn't that bottom pick one from All Version? If so it came out to our CRX meet and is just so freakin clean!

Just put a dc integra center console in, then you get an armrest and 2 cup holders. It fits really good

Likes:
1 Lightweight
2 Easy to work on
3 Can be made killer fast around corners. one of the only FF cars that can corner as well as say, a miata (when done correctly that is)
4 Can be made killer fast in a straight line. Swap the stock motor out with a B, F, H, or K series and you have dramatic increase in acceleration. A beefed up all motor K series CRX can whoop some serious ass down the 1820. Or slap a turbo on a D series motor and it will walk right by much higher horsepower cars for dirt cheap.
5 No nonsense design, look elsewhere for girly frills.
6 Aerodynamics (CRX) very low drag coefficient (Cd 0.29) along with a drag area of less than six feet equates to better top end acceleration and gas mileage
7 Gas mileage: I regularly get over 50mpg on trips, and over 40mpg in town with a cam'd D15b7 making more than double the stock horsepower for the car.
8 large aftermarket support
9 newer/better OEM parts interchangeable. How many people run DA hubs/trailing arms/brakes on their EFs? just about all of them. Want an S2000 gauge cluster? no prob. Hydro tranmission? there is a kit for it. AWD? do you want to run D (wagovan), B (early model CRV) or K (late model CRV) series motor? the list goes on.

Dislikes
1 most EF owners let the cars fall to shit
2 Rust, mainly from owners who let their cars fall to shit
3 wiring, mainly from the asshole owners who hack their shit up
4 theives target them because they are stupid easy to break into and steal.





Some of my favorite EFs.... the SSworks CRX, Jeremy Croiset's NASA Honda Challenge CRX, the Bergenholtz CRX, the Top Setup K20/K24 CRX, the Bisimoto NA D15 CRX, both of my current CRXs, and my brothers hatch.

likes:
almond cream 88's :yumyum:
body style
super light
cheap to buy
good aftermarket support
old school :)

dislikes:
rust
people letting there ef's go to shit
rattles

Ha yeah rattles, the body of mine makes more noises than my exhaust lol

Ride or die Old Skool EF

The rattles are usually from broken plastic clips still half attached to the body, if you have someone else rev the motor/drive slowly while you climb around locating the noise you can remove+replace those clips to kill the rattle. my 90 CRX doesn't rattle anymore after I found the couple of broken clips in the door panels.

Hasport mounts and a slightly tweaked frontend equals rattle mania lol

Likes: wagons :)

Likes..

CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP!!

Dis-likes..
Hard to find Clean ones, because of kids & us old skoolers who killed their share over the years
Even with the A/C gone through.. On a HOT day.. It is only Cool!
Riced Garbage
Cup Holders have to modded in all of them
NO Power Windows or Cruise (except sedans)
Not as smooth as the newer ones

Are you around yet? We need more Honda's at the autocross events :p

I hit the road on the 29th. Should be in my new home by the 3rd. A couple weeks to settle in and I should start bumpin elbows at the local "scene"! ;)

Good to know. Hope to see you out at a future event.

Hopefully this retarded car will come back from the painter this weekend...! This dude is cuttin it close and I don't like it!

when i buy my efs the first thing i do is fix the typical ef problems
