Andy’s 1990 CR-X SiR Cyber Top

I’ve been speaking to Andrew Thompson over the last year about possibly featuring his Honda CR-X.  At first I was somewhat hesitant since the car is fairly stock, but once I saw some photos I knew this would be a great car to shoot. This is only our second CR-X we have featured in the four years JDMC has been around, but I felt the car was worth some attention. Sometimes a simple and clean build is just as worthy as a fully built race project.

The CR-X was originally manufactured by Honda between 1983 and 1991. Today it still has somewhat of a cult following. Andy was very lucky to snag this particular model.  He is no stranger to the CR-X as he was originally introduced to a 1988 CR-X si model. That car was much different then the CR-X you see here, and even had a b16 swap. Note that the seats pictured above are originally from an NSX.

Eventually Andy’s ’88 had to go, but he still wasn’t done with the CR-X.  By sheer luck, Andy was able to find this 1990 JDM SiR glasstop model with original matched B16A. The car sat in pieces in a garage for two years due to lack of funding. Perseverance and patience paid off which allowed Andy to reassemble the car with mostly authentic Honda parts.

The SiR glass top only came in black and the Torino Red Pearl, so with that said, the car is a very limited model.

Although the newer Enkei 92’s are nice wheels, it’s nice to see the orignal Enkei Mesh with their trademark stepped lip.

Believe it or not, the car has zero rust and has only been resprayed once.

Thanks for checking out this feature and see  below for a full modification list.
