[@crxseth]

You know I’ve been waiting for this!!!

[@ahcgarage]

Right on!!

[@ramonbriones4487]

Ur build is pretty epic as well Seth ❤

[@davidbeverly3463]

I was just about to tag you @crxseth! You and Restotuner need to be ready on deck for these guys to call for advice and parts! My love for Ef Civics is how I found your channel. Can't wait to see how much they bring this baby back!

[@VicVoss]

been eyeing that beauty in the background in some of the older vids

[@ahcgarage]

More to come!!

[@jngtruong]

We finally have a CRX!!!!! Been seeing this on the back ground from previous episodes. Ah… the infamous tap on starter. Haha… Def making my Saturday mornings very pleasant with a new upload from AHC garage team. Can’t wait until next week. Between you and CRXSeth, I am so tempted to get a CRX.

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for the continued support!!

[@MrJecuram]

'89 CRX Si Love it! thank you for uploading-- I owned a Red CRX Si when I was stationed in Germany-- I bought it with 136,000 miles. Sold it for more than I bought it for a year later. Go-cart handling, "hug the ground" stance, and rewarding mini race car feel and sound. Good luck on the refresh and upgrades. Thank you, a thousand thank you's!

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you very much for tuning in!!

[@MGCOHN]

I also had a blue CRX, I believe a 91 in Germany when I was stationed there….Unfortunately had to sell it when I left, really miss that one.

[@GS-sm3jo]

A CRX! This is going to be great! BTW: Cracking up at Jonathan's little jabs at Brian. Awesome crew that knows how to have fun while getting the job done. Thanks AHC. 👍🏻🇺🇸

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks again!

[@janikakis]

The phallus on the dusty rear window... touch o' class lol 🤌

[@ahcgarage]

Ha!

[@kevinle1781]

I love this car back in 1990, at that time, I am still In HighSchool and have no money to buy. Now have the money but couldn’t find this kind of car. I love this car specially Stick shift!

[@ahcgarage]

Hope you will find one and relive your childhood, they are out there :-)

[@gabreno8670]

Being an crx owner , im really happy to see ahc garage working on one , no the sunroof is not supposed to be 2 color … and i have a couple of new parts (oem honda bnib) for a usdm like yours ( still keeping some for mine) continue the good work, and dont forget rust hide on these cars… behind triangle , under the wiper cowl , underneath door hinge

[@redalert206]

Who else relives their childhood through these videos! Great content guys!❤

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for being a part of this as well

[@raymondnash3563]

Hell yea You cannot beat old hondas still the best style in my opinion i still hove my acura db2

[@ahcgarage]

Right on!!

[@michaelbalentine7549]

I'm digging the art on the car. Especially the rear glass haha.

[@ahcgarage]

Great catch, haha!

[@steveorr]

Sweeeeeeet!!! 91 CRX Si facelift was my first Honda back in the day, but here in Australia the Si had the dohc d16a, ac, discs all round etc... my sunroof def didn’t have that black strip, it was completely colour coded... such an amazing car, looking forward to this series!

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for sharing that with us

[@mrjklee]

looking forward to the build!

[@ahcgarage]

More to come

[@ThatColorado]

The CRX is such a sexy looking sports car that just needed more power but the looks is there! Honda is missing out on making a new 2 door CRX with a k series turbo or something. Itd be sick

[@ahcgarage]

Unfortunately gas powered vehicles are going away

[@tonydisabatino]

Looking forward to this refresh. Great car to start with.

[@ahcgarage]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mariolince3929]

Wow my freind amazing Jonathan crx I remember my friend had one of those

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers!!

[@kevink6265]

Beautiful car. I saw the NJ plates and I was like, yall done for, car is going to be melted. After the walk-around you found a gem, it was taken care of, kept in the garage. Looking forward to seeing it restored.

[@ahcgarage]

You got that right!

[@JaviElNene93]

Crx my favorite car of all time

[@ahcgarage]

Our team as well

[@RolanTHUNDER]

Keen to see this CRX get a new lease on life even though she's still alive and quite well for her age :) Rust is literally the only thing wrong with it. That and the starter ;) I like hearing from Brian about the paintwork and the detailed breakdowns he gives. I'm a mechanic so when Jon and Miguel speak/do their thing I'm in my comfort zone but when it comes to paint, I don't know that much :)

[@AdinSLaboy]

Wow I like that crx she it's the perfect one very well care ❤ she it's in good hands now she gonna be way better better

[@ahcgarage]

More coming very soon

[@ramonbriones4487]

Finally a crx!! Lets gooooooo!

[@ahcgarage]

Yes!!

[@Rosten]

Make sure to re-do those seam sealers around the hatch etc. Original seamsealer cracks and causes a waterleak around the hinges.

[@justind1180]

the one I was waiting for!! 😍

[@ahcgarage]

She's here

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

My wife and I are resto modding a '91 HF. Love this car, can't wait to see what you guys come up with

[@ahcgarage]

That is awesome!

[@toddp5122]

So good to see an ef chassis on here. I am currently selling my 77k mile '89 civic lx sedan if you're interested in another ef project.

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for watching

[@davidlam9531]

Cant wait until the next episode... i want to see how you guys tackle the sunroof. I bought my fiberglass sunroof from ireland :)

[@ahcgarage]

We will!

[@lq_em1]

Can't wait to see the results ❤❤❤

[@ahcgarage]

More to come, stay tuned :-)

[@FreakinRican]

Def waiting on this, and seeing it sit there in the background in your previous vids... I always wondered when it was finally gonna kick off! #keeptheefsontheroad ❤

[@ahcgarage]

Hope you like it! More to come

[@heroshotlgn]

That CRX is like in the top 10% of remaining ones out there, BEFORE being restored

[@vincebuono2135]

Yo sweet I haven’t see a crx like that in years👍👍can’t wait what you guys are going to do with the crx!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks 👍

[@MrSims-ky2ne]

This will be epic and nostalgic my first was a y49si my old crx community handle lol

[@michaelbonior6406]

I had a Red 1989 SI back in early 90's ... I had that car apart and did an awesome Rockford Fosgate Stereo system in it ... such a fun car till I crashed it and bent the frame.

[@JoseSantiago-hv3xm]

I soooo love what you guys do!!! I cannot wait until the next episode!! 🤙🏼😄

[@ahcgarage]

More to come👍🏼

[@JoseSantiago-hv3xm]

God I love CRX’s!!! I swear I’m going to get one! 😄🙌🏼

[@ahcgarage]

You should :-)

[@RalphiNYCb3]

I would love to see my JDM 1992 Honda Accord 2.0 EXL-i on your channel for a nice restomod OEM plus project ☺️🤔

[@killahsi2003]

great build! Im sure you guys will do great things with it. Maybe should do a 7th gen Accord and a EP3 next, would love to see a build on both of those!

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks! Will do!

[@shawnsilver3430]

Nice car! I thought the seatbelts on the doors were on 90-91 models

[@phan10ms]

Would love to see LHT's take on that exhaust.

[@ahcgarage]

We have something nice coming soon for that

[@oldskool16V]

Neuspeed

[@hectorgarcia8744]

Honda should bring back the CRX but Type R💪🔥

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers!!

[@THESTEIN325]

God I love the CRX

[@ahcgarage]

Us included!!

[@jasonx409able]

Damn bone stock. That is a rare gem!!!

[@ahcgarage]

It sure is

[@22killakush22]

I love this channel

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you so much!!

[@bruth6138]

This was a good time for Honda. CRX, Prelude, Integra, NSX. These days, Honda makes cars for people that dont like cars. Their passion is gone.

[@ahcgarage]

Not sure about that

[@soupcan5647]

Please get those seats stock. Usdm. Keep it 💯

[@ahcgarage]

We have something cool for that

[@JGrove303]

Can’t think of a better candidate for a B16 or DOHC ZC swap 😗

[@ahcgarage]

Yes!!

[@KARR]

Legend has it that Honda CR-Xs in this color are cursed.

[@ahcgarage]

This won't be it, pray for us ha!

[@steveo9635]

this car is in a lot of Seinfeld scenes!!

[@ahcgarage]

👍🏼👍🏼

[@rebelde673]

🇧🇧 yellow ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers!!

[@bartloughry9839]

My first car was a red 88 si. The sunroof should all be body colored. The previous owner must have tried to stop the rust. The sunroofs on the si are prone to this rust. Just keep her clean!

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for the tips

[@hasankhurshid2632]

Watching from Pakistan

[@ahcgarage]

Thank you for tuning in. We appreciate it

[@1stGenCRXs]

Good luck on the project. Curious to see how it turns out. I love CRXs and am lucky enough to own two, however they are first gens. My 85 is all stock with 75k miles and working AC, cassette radio, etc. my 86 CRX Si is far from stock with a JDM K24a like the USDM K24a2 in the TSX. It makes 220 hp and 200 ft lbs to the tires. Looking at repainting both cars so interested in your approach to this mini restoration

[@ahcgarage]

Wow, great collection

[@1stGenCRXs]

@@ahcgarage thanks. Have owned the 86 since 1992 and picked up the 85 2 years ago. Plan is to do mini resto on it. Keep her stock and original

[@RichOffYayy]

@@1stGenCRXsu need to swap that engine out for the track n streets n take that lil 220 hp out that mf

[@Joris2012]

nice car !!!vtec 160 HP

[@jxn0010]

I miss my 91 si I got it for graduation i think it cost about 14k new i drove it 13 years then got a 2001 prelude SH

[@ahcgarage]

Love it

[@vicv8734]

🍿 🎉

[@ahcgarage]

Cheers!!

[@charlesellison3594]

I watched the videos and you do amazing work. I am the orginal owner of a 1988 black CRX Si. It has 165k on it and all orginal. Would you be interested in restoring if for me keeping it OEM? Thanks Charles

[@joemarsar]

Will it be ready for classic hondas on the dragon?

[@ahcgarage]

Going to be close

[@steveriedel6931]

Hey man I live in Norway! Let me know if you want any eurospec stuff

Will do! Shoot us a message on our IG: @acurahondaclassic

Never ha!

[@oldskool1979]

I have a new OEM Sunroof and entire rear interior

[@moneyluis7809]

its single paint - in 1988 / 1991 .... i think every car came like that! get some EF8 seats, thats Japen version

[@ahcgarage]

We have some better coming

[@pickle4034]

Where are you located.

[@spinnerbait1440]

I bought one of these in 1996 with 34k when I was 18 years old.same color and I wish I still had it 😢. That black strip on the sunroof is definitely not original

[@ahcgarage]

Thanks for sharing that with us

[@moneyluis7809]

its not the starter, its ignition switch! the connection in the switch get old. ps the sunroof does not came like that, it was paint black to stop corrosion.

[@moneyluis7809]

it look everything on car is original, including oil pan. im From nj, my first crx 2000. i done did everything you think. Ps that manual steering rack!!!! they call it 3 1/2 turn, that mean the steering turns in both directions (3 1/2) for easy pulling out parallel park. need more information or details lmk!

[@ahcgarage]

Great to know, thanks!!

[@kathykinney9456]

It was white

[@ahcgarage]

Are we missing something here!?

[@ACURACLTYPESLOW]

Seems like that guy is always ripping on Brian, quality paint and body takes time and finding a guy that does the quality of work he does isn’t easy! Give the man a break!

[@tyhyhh]

cars mint compared to what ive seen haha

[@ahcgarage]

Great bones for sure

[@bigbrownbull]

Who remembers seen this car in true lies?

[@ahcgarage]

Crx was in that movie?

[@bigbrownbull]

@@ahcgarage yes, Jamie Lee Curtis drove it. I think it was same color

[@aid_cab]

Want another CRX project? Help with mine please!

[@jamie7347]

I thought only '88s had a yellow option...

[@ahcgarage]

Barbados Yellow offered from 88-90

[@jamie7347]

@@ahcgarage Thanks for the correction! I had a red '89 and LONG time ago. Love your videos!

[@jamie7347]

To answer Brian's question about the sunroof-someone added the black paint sometime during the vehicle's history. All sunroofs were painted to match the exterior color.

[@jamesguirand8243]

Firrrst

[@ahcgarage]

Yes!!

[@nateberlant6320]

My nsx needs some help if you guys are interested.

[@oldskool1979]

Cant restore these... Honda doesnt have new parts !
