1988 Honda CRX JDM P.O.V. Drive

I take a drive in a low miles imported CRX Si

[@ThreeNTheMornin]

There's just something about late 80s-late 90s Honda's that was so perfect. They were at the top of their game.

[@cynkie4693]

DOOM

[@Teknakill]

JORDAN ERA...GOAT!

[@youtubasoarus]

Kinda makes you wonder why cyber roofs don't come in all cars. That's cool as hell!

[@Stevelangdon93]

+youtubasoarus Glass is heavy and also unsafe in a roll over, which was fine in the 80's because safety was basic, but now it wouldn't be allowed. Safety glass or whatever is an option but then it gets expensive!

[@zackisawesome11]

+Steve Langdon There's plenty of cars that have a full sunroof in them that are brand new. I can name 4 right now, Hyundai Sonata, Hyundai Genesis, Chrysler 300, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Chrysler 200 S.So, there isn't an excuse for all cars to not have them.

[@zackisawesome11]

+Steve Langdon Yes I realize that was 5, but I at the last second remembered the 200. lol.

[@ricerocket_ed6650]

Rollover protection, yes it's not the shield part of the roof but the A and B pillars that protect you, but still glass flying wouldn't be considered safe :[

[@Poltergeist00]

hail

[@SyCannon]

This is the kind of car enthusiast I love seeing. Someone who just loves the car for what it is.

[@ybok7704]

I gotta say Mr.Regular i love your style i like the way you write and the way you deliver the reviews. hands down 10/10 best car channel on KZbin, because instead of bagging on cars you appreciate them and list pros and cons and your not afraid to appeal to everyone weirder side

[@AllGasNoBreaks416]

Yb ok You should also watch 2theRedline!

[@900108Chale]

+Yb ok I agree, started watching yesterday, now I am hooked.

[@TransAmsandDashcams]

And it's stock. Thank goodness.

[@trashrabbit69]

Bad Drivers of SE WI And it looks amazing.

[@kergh-rizz]

As much as I enjoy the humour in your fast-paced, quip filled reviews, I found this to be a refreshing change of pace as it's a far more genuine, earnest review; I was able to learn more about the car. Food for thought? I love you.

[@kergh-rizz]

As well as it's fun seeing you banter with this dude

[@GamerVidsForAmateurs]

Clean, low miles, almost new dam that has gotta be worth a ton.

[@negil]

As a Canadian when you read the kms, I was so happy.

[@darios9797]

TheS2Guy well pretty much anybody in the whole world except for usa citizens are happy about that lol.

[@RocasThePenguin]

George Washingturnt And the English. It's a mixture of everything over here. Celsius combined with MPH.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

+Bryan Usrey don't forget Laos and random parts of Australia.

[@ethank461]

CRX is love CRX is still a civic but its still life

[@BryceRehder]

As a crx owner for 12 years these videos make me so happy. Glad you enjoyed one of hondas best cars.

[@94BrunoO]

But.. But.. We had to see the trunk...

[@MidnightOtaku]

I'm upset about that too.

[@Dynda2015]

Daniel Young everyone knows that was a jdm factory option

[@blvk_sky]

Bruno Oliveira lol I know, I immediately checked the time left in the vid and was like"they're not going to show the trunk!?"

[@TopherIsDaMan]

I'm dumb why is the trunk special

[@94BrunoO]

The video was very involving. We were listening to every word with adoration. So when he said 'you have to see the trunk' at the end, we didn't expected the video to end. We wanted to see more and more. You're not dumb, you're special. ;)

[@BudleyBailey]

That engine bay looks brand new!

[@mochoowo]

bud ley Not only that, the whole car looks incredibly clean and it's got only 30k miles on the clock despite being 27 years old. It's absolutely perfect.

[@MegaSwedishGuy]

Daniel Marinov 30k kilometers - 20k miles.

[@mochoowo]

MegaSwedishGuy My bad, I normaly use metric so just remembered that it's on 30k then automatically assumed miles, but it's even better that it's in km. I'm glad to see old Hondas being appreciated for how awesome they are and a car as clean as this is totaly worth saving imo as it would keep on being amazing and going up in value. I envy the dude that bought it, wonder how much he paid for it.

[@Seanbethyname]

MegaSwedishGuy Actually it's 18k and change. my daily is in mph on road that are kmh, know that shit like the back of my hand.

[@gregshroyer2942]

Daniel Marinov 30k km actually. It's literally like 22,800 miles lol!

[@Dcurleyfry]

That sunroof is so cool

[@Visuwyg]

Dcurleyfry "It's called the Cyberoof" 8D

[@Dcurleyfry]

Kaffeebohnson hahaha sorry :0

[@lamella64]

Kaffeebohnson even cooler xD

[@PKim321]

How is the car still rigid?

[@lamella64]

TheKoreanOG the sheet metal on the roof was thin and light, it wasnt there to add structural rigidity but to cover the interior :D

[@IndyF1FanMarquis]

Nice bit of kit there; a real JDM classic! Thanks for all of the uploads this week Mr. Regular. You're making my midnight shifts bearable!

[@RBeeMedia]

I am by no mean an Honda fan. But that car, is genuinely amazing for 1988 ! I love it !

[@creepinwhileyousleepin]

wow, looks completely identical to my 94 integra engine. clean clean, there's something magical about late 80's through 90's japanese cars.

[@thehondasteve2292]

Just an awesome throwback to the days that set the tone for the Honda hot hatches of today!

[@TorquilMcLeod]

Canadian Hondas from that era don't have the clutch ignition lock out either, so it must be a US thing. 80s Hondas were great, it's nice to see one in such clean and stock condition. My Dad had an 88 Prelude Si 4WS which I learned to drive stick on, so this takes me back.

[@ParadoxdesignsOrg]

That mileage is incredible. The Look, The Snorkel, The 1988!

[@eumoria]

thought it was going to be an SiR but this is just as awesome. real ZC with the glass roof and the interior isn't destroyed from it. awesome

[@jasonfifi]

b16 zc so dope. unmolested low miles and looks clean and not like it just sat up or whatever. looks great.

[@MasonH24]

Not going to lie, I got chills when the hood came up. Such a beautiful, unmolested, unicorn.

[@Sclimenti82]

My uncle had two of these once a US spec mid 80's one and early 90's one, the early 90's one was Si. I remember riding in them a few times and while not fast it handled well and was fun, this car was the reason I wanted to learn to drive "stick" shift as soon as possible lol

[@pantsyr]

Used to own an SIR JDM in NZ.... laughed when you wipered to indicate... done that so many times when in the US. And your videos make me want to own an SW20GTS or CRX-SI again.. good times.

[@yomomasface]

I am so envious of this owner! I have a couple CRX's but none this immaculate...

[@airtec87]

I always wanted a CRX when I was younger, I remember when these were new, having a EF hatch or CRX back before fast in the furious was awesome. My older bro had a SI EF and his best friend had a CRX SI in high school back in 91. I now drive a SW20 turbo and haven't looked back but still I flirt with the idea of picking up a CRX for daily purposes.

[@ravesilly]

Amazingly low miles for that car, the owner is lucky.

[@vladandrei51]

ravesilly It could be fake tho, and even if they are not it means that either the car had an accident or it was left in the garage for a long time, either way it's a bad thing.

[@packrat-y7j]

Andrei Vlad 1 owner in Japan. All the service records were sold along with the car :) No accident history. Grade 4 at auction :) I have underside shots too. :)

[@serialdrunkdriver]

Andrei Vlad I mean I'd say that's a weird assumption considering how completely clean every detail of the car is, especially the engine bay. That engine looks showroom new. As for it being fake I'm sure Mr. Regular could tell and would let us know, do you know more about cars than him? I doubt it.

[@carib2703]

Living in Japan and owning a few cars, I can agree the TRANSMISSION has about 22k miles but how many HOURS are on the engine? I drove from Atsugi base to Yokota base which was about 25miles or so but sometimes I sat in traffic for 3hours. Yes the transmission drove for 25 miles or so, but the engine ran for 3hrs. Mileage is a transmission thing, engine runs regardless if the car moves or not..;-)

[@vladandrei51]

3 hours for 25 miles? You could walk there faster.

[@youtubejunkie8053]

what a dream this was!!!!! amazing car and only 23k miles too!!! He was spot on when talking about the 88 si vs 89 siR too! great video bro

[@SPEEDTRIBESAKURA]

Since this video reminded me of Integras I feel I should go and track down my dad's old DC2 GS-R and buy it back. Last I checked it was in Cali. Probably ruined, "riced", or more modified now but I had so many memories in the thing.

[@franciscogutierrez3268]

did you ever find it?

[@SPEEDTRIBESAKURA]

@@franciscogutierrez3268 Unfortunately, I haven't gotten any leads. I tried searching up the vin number as well to no avail. One day, I may just do a CarFax to see whether it still even exists or not.

[@hollowpoint2632]

Been the proud owner of a usdm 91 si crx for a solid 2 months now and the deeper i go the more stuff i want to buy for my car.

[@Coolstyle9]

Mr. Regular, The Roman you are the men! Good luck and safe travels.

[@pixelatednate4864]

That U-turn was satisfying AF

[@keithbasa]

i'd be worried 24/7 of this thing being stolen. would be too much stress lol

[@gregshroyer2942]

haha! no worries where I'm at!

[@keithbasa]

Yeah I live in a pretty "bright" area, nothing dark unless you drive an hour away. Even still I get paranoid of these urban white "Honda Boys" getting out of hand. But hey, cameras are so friggen cheap nowdays. I'm guilty of not setting them up ATM but plan on it very soon. Beautiful CR-X btw. Damn I'd rather have one of these than a brand new (Ugly) Civic Si

[@keithbasa]

Rolling Guy #1 A person who buys a mint 1988 JDM CRX in 2015 is not someone who is likely to install a fart can on it. And to be honest, even with alarm systems these cars are easy to steal. No factory fob, and if someone really wants it, it gets lifted and dolly'd easy as 1 2 3.

[@thebadmanreturns]

buy an 3000 usd alarm system, then u r safe

[@keithbasa]

steve blow 3k alarm for a 10k car ? Just get good insurance, the kind where you put in writing the agreed upon price of the car.

[@sbfhawk4343]

1.6 ZC have not seen this engine in a long time. They made Carbon Fiber Hoods with the ZC bump on the hood to make extra room for it. Very clean and classic. Hold onto it these models all 85 to 89 ae becoming classics.

[@alyssagriffin5781]

"This is so much faster than Sally" sounds like my boyfriend talking about Roxy (his '91 CRX)

[@jackdaniel1848]

Would anyone else kick an elderly woman down a flight of stairs for this car?

[@monster1176]

I

[@FriENTlyFire]

Yep

[@MrCarsandguitars]

Yep

[@9freelandk]

Jack Daniel It's the elderly that tend to cherish these cars, put little miles on them and eventually sell them onto a younger generation. Would you kick an elderly woman down a flight of stairs that has looked after an 80's Honda from new ? Oh wait this is youtube...

[@thesilentobserver93]

***** I would generally recommend against selling a CRX to someone of my generation. We have a knack for either totally destroying the cars, or doing things to them to turn them into street racers. I'm 22 and drive a white '91 CRX HF that has over 304K miles on it. Luckily, I understand the value of taking care of such a car as these things are getting more and more rare, and they have incredible gas mileage compared to a lot of the other cars that are being driven today. Because I cherish this car, I am trying to put in the money and work to restore it as best I can to its stock condition. Just bought a motor for it that only has 150K miles on it from a friend for $150. Soon, I will have the engine swapped, and will no longer be leaking so much darn oil. Most of the small problems this car has were there before I got it a year ago. Honestly, though, don't just pawn it off to some kid my age. Make sure they will be able to take good care of the darn thing.

[@taakotruck1894]

I have to document! When they are driving around and mention the rolls Royce Beatle, that same one was in a Collector Car Feed video where it was for sale!!! Crazy and worth the rewatch all this time later

[@Opt1685]

(breathing intensifies) As a previous owner of two CRXs, I need this.

[@stryder237]

One of the most interesting things about these POV drives is seeing all the cool cars at the side of the road ...here in the UK we don't have such a variety of nice cars. Can't find anything made pre-2000.

[@alexortiz835]

I would love a CRX with a roof like that and a B16-A engine. My dream combo quite honestly haha

[@Mattyew]

I love this channel so much, I'd do anything to work with you guys! (in regular voice) ANYTHING. side note: you didn't clap your feet before entering!

[@B1ackTheRipper]

Yes he did @3:10

[@Mattyew]

Jimmy Neutron needs moar exaggeration! haha

[@OlafurArons]

My dad has a 1988 crx as well. it's awesome to drive, and it's only done about 41.000km.

[@IVIakeItHappen]

i had a 91 si with a b16 fun as hell never missed it more than now!

[@jdm3gee14]

At 4:40 you can see that this one is equipped with back seats. Just barely safer than a Brat back seat and you'd need to be a legless midget to fit there.

[@Mak933]

Those stalks look very similar to even the 6th generation Accords/Civics. I will greatly miss those when I have to give up my Accord. They are so smooth and feel nice. Nowadays they have a matte finish and are chunky, and of course do not have the same 'click'. Awesome video.

[@blucas3578]

Thats is a beautiful c-rx. Awesome video RCR

[@TheKaappari]

The steering wheel looks so good on this.

[@nalgaface123456789]

No-Cash patch spotted! This guy is awesome!

[@packrat-y7j]

nalgaface123456789 Drunk as fuck in the daylight...

[@packrat-y7j]

No-Cash was a punk band from PA, often lumped in with the CRS7.

[@youtubejunkie8053]

Now this car has gone up so much in value!

[@HankGreenburg]

It's cool seeing all the similarities between this and my '90 integra.

[@luvr381]

My '81 Celica GT had no clutch start lockout either. I found that out when I was fueling the car on a cold day and my girlfriend decided to hit the starter cause she was cold, I ended up chasing the car across the parking lot.

[@GreyMK7Jet]

Thats pretty fucking awesome you did that POV in Alexandria near an area where i grew up!! my face lit up when i realized you were in Parkfairfax!!

[@MattParkerStayTuned]

Very Very nice old school crx and also video buddy much love to my EF boys all the way from maryland USA I also have a turbo ef 91 crx si b18c5.

[@Jordan4Ibanez]

I don't normally like Hondas, but that looks really clean.

[@artcarsnguitarsAdamS]

Do It With Dan is your biggest fan! Love the videos Mr RegularCars

[@justinr8526]

My 1990 Civic doesn't have a shift lockout either. I giggled at the oh-so-familiar shifter wiggle to make sure it's in N before turning the key. You learn to do that quickly after the first time your car tries to jump a curb when you turn the key and it's in gear.

[@MindBlowerWTF]

Justin R I never do that in my own car, as if I see the shifter, I know what's up, but when I get into someone else car, wiggle it.

[@Christobevii3]

Justin R What does this mean? Like if you start it in gear with the clutch pushed in what happens?

[@justinr8526]

Alex Kocurek If the clutch is pushed in, it just starts. But most cars have a lockout that prevents the car from turning over unless the clutch is depressed. In my car, the car will turn over even when the clutch is released, which means that the car will lurch forward when you try to start it because the engine is "connected" to the wheels still.

[@MrGunzngirlz]

This is the kind of car you MAKE time for.

[@TheTitan04se]

Great classic car. Its nice to see a stock one. Its gotta be so weird driving on from the other side of the car.

[@mibars]

You can get one with steering wheel on correct side from Europe, unfortunately extras like A/C, power windows and even power steering were super rare, while glasstop, auto aircon were not available at all. Electric sunroof standard on all models. Also we had "1.6 I-VT" which had B16A1 engine, which is basically identical to B16A, missing a knock sensor and for some odd reason 8 ponies. Those had leather seats, power mirrors and windows as standard.

[@durtyasian5721]

What a very clean and nice rex.. its so sad that the 90 and 00 rice cook outs either wreck or got altezza light syndrom... I don't have a rex but a 91 hatch with rex interior and I love it

[@Tryingmybestsince1999]

And i thought my golf mk3 had a nice sun roof... WHAT A BEAUTY!

[@dannysi8919]

I want to get a siR crx there so beautiful love the b series that came from the factory and the glass top roof I have a 88 crx dx I’m currently trying to get back on the road

[@takaogibson]

Stationed at NAF Atsugi Japan there was a junkyard near NSF Kamiseya "Nissan Heaven" what everyone call it at the time. I found and bought a 90 Honda CRX SIR with the DOHC VTEC 1.6 liter and rear seats. I love that car.

[@Evilbowmaster63]

Look for a 1974 International Scout! That's what my dad got drove around in as a kid. We found the owners manual that looks brand new. Almost no yellowing!

[@TrashHeapCustodian]

That's the engine mine has! :D Mr. Regular needs to drive a B16 VTEC one now to complete the set!

[@THINCOVER]

My English revision consists on only watching your videos.12 hours a day.

[@Piccobow]

Great for delivering mail. Apply for the postal service!

[@Screamingz1]

Bronze roof glass.. Love it.. My buddy had one identical to this one.

[@TheRichardF10]

What a beauty! I'm almost in tears of joy! :,(

That's the cleanest crx I've ever seen

[@fenixlolnope361]

I'm digging his jacket!

[@chrisanglin]

Nice. I just got a 1988 JDM Galant VR4.

[@0326Hambone]

Ive got a 96 Mystique with the duratec v6, and MTX75 5speed manual. Surprisingly it doesnt have a shift lockout either. It does 'one-up' this Honda by using direct linkage vs. cable linked shifter.

[@dannyzep92]

what a beautiful car thank you for sharing makes my usdm CRX look really bad haha

[@ENDTIMEsVideoLibrary]

I had a Black First Gen HF. Not as sporty and fast as the 2nd Gen, but man that car was FUN! Slapped some cool 16 inchers on with Low Profile Tires and had A Blast! Of course somebody had to steal it just because it was a CRX.. Got it back less the wheels. Unfortunaely I kept my Audi and got rid of the CRX.. I hope it forgave me.. cause I don't!

[@tiger0tank]

That u-turn made my evo cry haha.

[@DjTibaProductions]

I love it, amazing CRX... That's brand new.

[@Noco506]

9:20 Hello Mr. Regular

[@willthecardude6900]

My 92 accord doesn't have a nss either, I jumpered the wires and bypassed it when I swapped it from auto to 5 speed.

[@beverchakus1]

so rad!! and upload the trunk part of the vid please!

[@Crossbone_Vanguard]

What a nice little car!

[@GH1987]

Beautiful just beautiful

[@ballinskater17]

Come to vermont and regular review my CRX it runs pretty decent... I got motor mounts, clutch control arms and minor things replaced. I wish I had more money to fix my 89 american CRX Si

[@calebtaylor3835]

We got a real one!

[@buttersnips1]

What a gem.

[@Sleepy.Time.]

belongs in a museum

[@TheNeoCreations]

One of these for sale near me for like $8-9k. If I had the money, I'd be all over it. Not a glass top CRX, but I still want it.

[@MyLonewolf25]

TheNeoCreations I have a us spec for sub 1k by me

[@norinvaux]

I don't know why, but compared to other POV drive videos, your legs look HUGE in this one.

[@TravelingTexasFisherman]

Great review!! Sweet ride!

[@onesimpleclik]

holy shit. that car is beautiful

[@baker2niner]

Great practice for delivering mail. Half practice for driving in the UK ("look right, stay left" mantra delete).

[@BrianJohnstonTrombone]

Lovely video. Thanks!

[@coolhardware65]

I would kill for one in that condition

[@JDMknowledge]

I had an 1991 SiR one a couple years ago. The cover for the roof, if you didnt get it with your car, is hard to get. You more than likely have to buy a whole chopped roof that includes the cover.

[@RoryRevs]

Here in the UK we've got the exact same model but UK spec didn't come in black or with AC or the glass roof :'( Ours is completely stock with 119,000mi on her, will never stop loving it :)

[@stevethecatcrx1]

The fabric dash upper panel, power windows, back seat, auto climate control, and steering wheel where also never offered in the US.
