The Honda CRX Si Is the Antidote to Modern Bloat

“I first drove a friend’s non-Si CRX at an autocross in 1984,” recalls fabled Honda racer Peter Cunningham. “It was so good. It had great handling and balance and a good power-to-weight ratio. So, on June 28, 1986, I leased a CRX Si for four years. And when I wasn’t racing it, I was using it to tow my other race car.”SIGN UP FOR THE TRACK CLUB BY R&T FOR MORE EXCLUSIVE STORIES

Honda built its own electronic fuel injection for the Si and paired it with a new tuned-runner intake manifold. Honda’s Programmed Fuel Injection was first used on the company’s CX500 and CX650 Turbo two-cylinder motorcycles, where its precise fuel metering civilized the turbo installation for on-road manners. Using sophisticated piezoelectric sensors and some computer logic, it bumped output of the CRX’s SOHC 12-valve 1.5-liter four from 74 hp with a carb to a full 91.

To Honda’s advantage, it was designing the CRX before VistaVision screens on dashboards and dozens of additional regulations like airbag mandates. Honda could be simple back then because of the simpler times.
