[B]Honda CRX[/B] second generation.
The chassis was significantly changed in 1987, from its original torsion bar front and semi-independent rear, to fully independent wishbones in front with a double wishbone semi trailing arm rear, in line with its sister Civic/Ballade models. Outside of North America, this second generation CRX was available with a 1493 cc SOHC or an updated version of the 1590 cc DOHC ZC engine. Many of these were fitted with fuel injection as standard.
In September 1989, Honda also added the 1595 cc B16A VTEC engine to the lineup outside of America. The VTEC engine used Variable Valve Timing to provide increased power in the high rev range, while still allowing low fuel consumption and better idling at low RPMs. The B16A produced 150 PS (110 kW; 148 hp) in the European 1.6i-VT model (where the engine bore the designation B16A1) and 160 PS (118 kW; 158 hp) in the JDM SiR model. The CRX was the second car to receive a VTEC engine, shortly after the Integra, although the CRX was more popular and common.
The VTEC-equipped models also received a makeover, with updated bumpers, lights, bonnet/hood, brakes, suspension and dashboard design amongst other things. Additionally, some of these design changes were added to the concurrent non-VTEC models.
If the CR-X was equipped with the 1.6 DOHC engine (ZC engine) or the 1.6 DOHC VTEC engine (B16A), the CR-X came with a different hood. The B16A and ZC engines were taller and required additional hood clearance in comparison to the 1.6 SOHC engines. The ZC engine was only slightly taller than the 1.6 SOHC engine and required additional hood clearance to clear the cam gear cover. A CR-X equipped with the ZC engine had a hood with a bump on one side which offered the additional necessary clearance. Cars equipped with a B16A engine came with a hood that was raised across most the engine bay to offer additional overall clearance for the taller engine.
[B]US market[/B]
Second-generation CRXs could choose between three different trim levels: The standard (unlabeled, sometimes called the "DX") with the 16-valve 1493 cc "D15B2" engine and Dual-Point Fuel Injection (DPFI), the HF ("High Fuel efficiency") model with the 8-valve 1493 cc "D15B6" engine and Multi-Point Fuel Injection (MPFI), or the Si (Sport injected) model with the 16-valve 1590 cc "D16A6" engine and MPFI. "DX" models were available with an automatic transmission, all others had five-speed manuals. A modification was made to the rear of the vehicle on all second generation vehicles in that a glass panel was installed on the upper half of the rear of the vehicle, above the tail lights which aided in rearward visibility in addition to the glass hatchback. This panel is heavily stippled black.
[B]Features and equipment[/B]
Air-conditioning was optional on all models. The Si models all came with a power sliding sunroof and 14-inch Alloy Wheels. Underneath, the Si model was equipped with a rear anti-sway bar along with variable ratio Rack-and-Pinion steering. The 90-91 Si models had 4-wheel disc brakes.
[B]Colors and trim[/B]
There were a total of six colors offered each model year. Four color options were available on the CRX and CRX Si and two color options were available for the CRX HF. Color availability would vary based on trim package and the interior color would depend on the exterior color choice.
