Yeah,  there were 83 CRXs. It was the first year of production.

Hey, GENONE. Your car has been an inspiration to me for a very log time. Love it.

Have you ever had that EW5 dyno'd? I've got an EW5, and I've wanted to know for a long time what it's stock power output was. I've heard between 100 and 120 horsepower..


Thanks mate... smile.gif

Yes - I did have the car on a dyno few years ago, but they ran it in LOW (being an auto its either low or Drive) - which is like running the car in 2nd gear. It only got 45hp @ wheels hahaha!!!

Japan had the Ballades out in 1983, while the US didn't get them till 1984. My crx must have been a personal import for someone straight from Jap land.

Tom - i'd be curious to find out the history of that crx... is there someone I can contact? Its great to know also that there is a car with similar history to mine smile.gif

From what I was told about the other car, it was a Honda test mule, it was originally carbureted, then they converted it to fuel injection and turbocharged it, then changed it back to carbs, it spent some time up north as a Cold Weather test platform, and then ended up in a Honda 'skunkworks' shop in Toronto. Somehow the previous owner managed to get a Honda dealer to snag it from the shop and sell it to him, and the current owner bought it from him. It has a factory front bra, and rear louvers, although the louvers look aftermarket, not factory. It is in very good condition for the most part.

User Ballade on this site should have some pics...
