    I know that quality crx in general is very hard to find and if you do find a good one, it is holding its value very well and easier to sell.
    I have found a crx that is perfect but is an australian deliverd model which does not have that extra added power and style.
    I really prefer the Sir but not sure that i will find one with under 100,000 klm.
    I dont even think that they can be imported anymore.
    So it will be even harder.
    I think you'll never see another with a genuine 100,000 or less. I was kinda upset when mine ticked over lol.

    Honestly you might have to buy an average one for $6,000-8,000 and just fix up the body, check/re-build the engine, change the bushes etc.

    Will drive like a new car and then you have piece of mind mate.


    I test drove an ED9 and liked it, but then I met my now best friend who took me for a spin in his EF8 and there was just no other option mate.

    Even a B16A convert is very nice but if it were me shopping again I'd honestly pay whatever is necessary to get that genuine EF8. Even an EF9?

    Hi Honda Pop
    yes i have been a member on there for years and have owned 2 b16a converted crxs in the past but they were bought already done up and i didnt really like what was done to them.
    I will keep an eye out.
    I see a couple on Carsales but they seem very thrashed and beaten up.
    Might wait for something better to pop up.
    There is a perfect crx on carsales original and all that looks really good.
    But not a vtec dam it.
    I guess if i keep looking around that i will find something eventually.
    Can we not import an SiR anymore?

    No you can't unless it's for parts only (not road legal) or you've owned it in Japan or wherever for 12months or more.

    Importing is an expensive process also, plus the vehicle is unsighted or tested.

    This law is in place to protect the domestic market from overseas competition where there is a similar vehicle available locally. So because we have the ED9 you can't import the EF8. However if we never received the CRX at all it might have been alright.

    Seriously, but one and just fix it. Make it your own gem. They're a dying breed.


    Meant to be thrashed anyway...

    Well I was considering selling mine but not anymore. Its a shame they cannot be imported either. I'm sure they would go for a reasonable price in Japan. The only other car Honda have I think will be in the same category as the EF8 will be the DC2r. Might not be a bad option to look into getting one of them in good condition now.

    Keep looking for the EF8 though, someone will eventually sell but I think you will have to be prepared to spend some money on it but it will be money well spent I think.

    i might be selling mine.

    Good points - gearbox is super smooth, engine is strong, vtec pop is very loud. pcvs were rebuilt 20k ago, aircon just regased and very cold, timing belt and water pump done 10k ago

    Bad points - driver seat has a couple of tears, front gaurds have minor damage close to the wheel arch no bad though. rear quarter has been keyed mark is about 20cm long it hasnt gone to the primer level though still black but none the less its still there.

    Agree with what everyone else has said, there just aren't that many around and a lot are pretty beat. The good ones don't change hands that often. Just get a beat one and clean it up, that is what I am doing. Although some might not like what I am going to do to it .

    Fewer and fewer Gen2's for sale these days. Chances of getting a good EF8 aren't good.
