Calling all EF8 CRX lovers!!...

[Stabo]

Hey Guys,

I'm interested in some additional information about EF8's (Gen II Si-R CRX's) and I figure this is the best place to ask! hehe.

Firstly is anyone willing to make a guesstimate on how many true EF8's exist in Australia? I'm pretty sure there is at least 3in SA but a total account might be nice.

I guess i'd like to also know all the difference between the 89 EF8's and the Si's, so far i've got these differences:

• B16A DOHC Engine instead of D16A (Obviously! VTEC YO!)
• Different Gear Box, the EF8 has a cable box.
• Obviously a different chip to reflect the different engine.
• Climate control instead of "Air Conditioning"
• Different Seats (Pleather sides etc)
• Different interior on the door panels.
• Different Dash (To reflect the 8000RPM redline etc)
• Different exterior styling including Bonnet, spot lights, standard color coded bumpers and decals.
• I'm assuming they came out with different standard alloys.

I am pretty sure I am missing something :P I guess i'd like to know if there are any other differences. Is the chassis any more rigid because of the extra power?

I will endeavor to find out some more information myself but I guess no site is going to guess how many there are in Australia...

Any information would be most appreciated!
Cheers guys!

JDM crx i realise dont have third brake lights, cause mine doesnt

all depends on year model i have ef6 and 2 ef7's all jdm, 1 ef7 has the 3rd brake light (that car by rego papers is late 88 the other 2 are 87/early 88)

The SiR was specifically designed as a race model and were built in late 89-91 the other gen2 were made from 87-91/92

all gen2 are cable with d15 d16 and b16a1

like Griffo_2710 said join www.crxaustralia.com to ask all the little nitty gritty questions

yep!.. heaps in melb.. most black aswell.
mine has a 3rd brake light. you can add one in if you dont have one, not that hard.
ef8 is the pretty much the same as the facelift ef7 (90-91) with the exceptions of speedo cluster layout, engine parts, seat trims bigger brakes and suspension setup (eyelet) and most importantly SiR/vtec stickers.
also think the ef8 came with the option of 15" wheels
