Hey, im trying to find a decent 1st gen CRX Si.. only thing is im not sure how to tell one from the other carb'd CRXs unless im able to look under the hood. like this car for example:



Guy says its an 87 CRX..dont know what model. What kind of body features sets it apart from the other first gens? wheels, two tone paint, anything really.

 

Would the Si have painted bumpers or not?

 

The 1986-87 Si has a spoiler like this:


The 1985 Si has a spoiler like this:


And all Si models had a sunroof. I think the 1986-87 Si models had body colored bumpers and the 1985s were two tone.

 

found this one.. 85 Si, with two tone.

 

i thought that the first si was '86

 

the guys ad says its an 87

 

The first year for the CRX Si was '85. The first year for the Civic Si was '86.

You still getting an FC? You could join my one-man squadh:

 

all Si's had sunroofs and fuel injection, with alloy wheels. [13" in '85, 14" all others]
DX's have cast iron rear drum brakes, and 13" steel wheels with hub caps [if not missing]. Factory options for the DX were rear window louvers, and mudflaps
HF's have aluminum rear drum brakes, 13" wheels, no hubcaps

'85, two-tone paint, color over silver, recessed headlights.
'86, two-tone paint, color over grey, flush headlights
'87, solid color paint, flush headlights

The pic of the blue '85 Si has the stock factory alloys, the '86 and '87 had the 4 circle alloy wheels.

The orginal picture is an '86 DX, assuming everything is stock on it, those are factory hub caps.

I may be off, but these are the guidlines I use when looking at first gens, and I've yet to mis-identify a car.

 

haha im still working on getting a TII, almost bought one this week, but the guy told me yesterday he was gonna keep it. Its so hard to find good ones around here. But yea, ill join your squad :thumbup:

 

Wow! A squad. I have an 85 S (not stock) and an 87 T II. DO I qualify??
Plus I'm a VA person.
