Thanks guys The CRX's are great little cars...a lot of fun for not too much money. The Mrk1 is particularly fun...especially on the twisties. Though I've only lasted about 50miles in it :-( Streetrules - yeh, that's me on hondacrx too. Hopefully I'll be at the Retro Ride Show with my VT. |

thats tyrones old car, he spent a fortune on that.
i had a white mk1 which rr'ed at 132bhp, because of its light weight, it would embarrass much more expensive machinery, like vr6's etc. 0-60mph comes up around 6.9 secs.
i also owned a 1.5 mk2, who's owned by icey on here now. but i will return to crx ownership when i buy a house with a decent garage!

I thought it might be Tyrones. I bought someTokico Blue adjustable dampers from him a few months back. Seems like a good lad.
Looks damn clean.

Me and Chris thought it was Tyrones aswell! Hope you don't mind me adding more pictures of it - but it's lovely!    |

Correct in that it is Tyrone's old car...but the pics you posted aren't it.  He had this one (mine) well before that Mrk1 you posted up. Unfortunately the elements have taken it's toll, it's been keyed a few times and the paintjob must have had some underlying problems....which surfaced a year ago.  I'll be selling my VT to get this one on the road. |

That one above's got Mugens, right?
Good plan sorting your Mk1 - they're getting thin on the ground these days and I reckon they're gonna fly up in value. Look at the S800!

Correct - Mugens. Mine has JDM Weds Sports RS-5's which from a distance look similar (black centre, polished rim) I think it's a long term one this...looked at it for 15mins tonight and promptly gave up.  |

I miss mine so much it aches. Great great cars - love the MkIIs as well but the Mk1 is the one for me. Looks great in silver. Got to have another one of those at some point . . .
