Hello Everyone,

Name is Mike, Im from Perth in Western Australia.

Some of the members here im sure have seen my Crxs before. For those who haven't just a quick rundown:

1983 Ballade Sports CRX (29th Build)
1.5 EW5 PGM-FI
3spd Auto with OD (yes I know... but it was a luxury option back then)
Stock apart from Gen2 wheels (lighter alloys), retrimmed seats (due to wear)



1991 Gen2 CRX Si
1.6 D16A8
K&N Intake
RS*R Extractors
Koni/H&R Suspension
Whiteline Front Strut Brace
Whiteline Read Sway Bar
17ich Lenso ZT6 Mags
Momo Sports Steering wheel
A pillar mounted Oil Pressure/Water Temp Guages
* in the workshop currently getting a Cyber 1/2 kit fitted)



I just want to say hello to the fellow Gen1ers - keep the spirit Alive!!!... im actually trying to find out if anyone has a Gen1 close to my build? Anyone? would be interesting to know...

cheers
Mike

Hey welcome and let me tell you thats a nice 1 gen rex you got there lucky man. thats is a damn sexy ride.

G'day Mike,

Number 29 has got to be the earliest existing. I am sure that the first dozen or so got crushed after the factory figured the production run was working.

Hold on to that 1st gen, it'll be worth alot someday.

[E-AT_me]

1st gens are a waste of money. they are pieces and will never be worth anything. i'll do you a favor and buy it off you for a grand.. ok? saves you time/headaches later..


welcome!!! we are all envious and will enjoy trying to kill you to get your car just because we know we can't find one like it!! i think the closest thing to that is the guy who has "number 1" for the USA.

btw, i like the "choro Q" inspired 2nd gen. heheheee.

[Rampage]

I really like the clean look of your car. Too bad its an auto

You have a gallery on the site, do you not?

How is your car? Completely stock? Rust free?

Nope. CRX Number 1 is alive and kicking, and was at the Niagara 11 meet, I saw it with my own eyes. VIN Number 800001. It has an 'interesting' history.

Uh, GENONE, weren't you registered here already, like 3 years ago?

Hey Guys, thanks for the replies

there are pics of my crx on here under GENONE

Rampage: the car is stock - yes... ive only replaced the wheels with lighter alloys also from a CRX, Seats needed to be retrimmed due to wear but I couldn't find the original material anymore, I did install some aftermaket custom extractors - to save weight, but still have the cast iron stock ones stored away. there was a bit of rust near the sunroof, and rear spoiler but thats been repaired. apart from that there isn't any other rust.

Tom: im not sure - I know you setup the gallery for me about 3yrs ago but I don't think i ever came to the forums.

As for the 1st CRX... 800001 would have to be a US 1st one from 1984, cos my Chassis number is: AF1000029 and its a 1983 (1st year of production). It has the 52nd EW5 motor with engine number EW500052.

Interesting. From what I was told, the one here is an 83 as well. Ah well, it's still cool...

[E-AT_me]

are you guys getting "manufacturing dates" mixed up with model years? my 86 civic Si was manufactured October, 85..

[zakats]

there was a 83 crx?? you guys are killing me

[87MugenProCR-X]

Nice rex. I love those pop ups. Still looking for a clean set. Anyways welcome and nice ride.

[1g Supremacy]

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..
