Re: 1986 crx hf
Why swap? That thing in good tune should get 50 mpg on the highway. That was its mission. If you want power buy an Si. I will trade you a '91 CRX si with some body rust (never said I wasnt honest), 131k on the body, recent D16A6 (OEM) engine (no leaks) for your car straight-up.

Welcome! The Si engine will bolt in but you have to swap all the under dash wireing as well. The duel cam D16 out of a gen I Integra will also bolt in with some minor work. B series will also work but it doesnt just bolt in. Its ver expensive and there is alot of work to get it done. Google redpepperracing for all you gen I CRX swap info.
I personally would leave it stock and get that 40 mile per gallon.

Re: 1986 crx hf
I would check your floor boards for rust and the torsion bar mounts for rust. not to ention the rear wheel wells. that is the places that I had on mine. but I finally had to get rid of mine last year cause of stupid NJ emission laws.
other then that I loved me hf and it ran forever with 42 mpg. it was a newer one 1987 crx hf.

Theres a 1986 Clean title and running CRX HF nearby.

what do you guys think? he wants $750. I'd do $700.
but this year, does it have torsion front suspension? if so I'm less likely to get it
edit, replace stars with jdm south (w/o space). WTF

Re: 1986 crx hf
word. I was hoping to get a cheap car for the track but ehh I've already started on the RSX so its not a bad option to continue with it and have a cheap DD.

and i'm pretty firm on $750 or trade for a K-pro ecu plus some money on my end.

Re: 1986 crx hf
yes.. because the honda crx with torsien bars doesn't reign supreme in CSP since 1984...
don't even begin to compare the handling of a first gen CRX to that of an RSX.. weight is different, wheel base is different, suspension is entirely different..

I didn't completely dismiss it but my friend who is a mechanic doesn't do torsion bar alignment...
