Ok. I will be the first to admit that this car is my baby... even saying that I understand some of what is wrong with it... My questions are - How much of a pain is it to change and Automatic (ew) to a manual in this model? and How much of a pain is it to replace the Air Condenser? <I live in the south this is needed.

Oh yeah and I bought this car 3 years ago for $300. I have replaced the radiator, starter, and water pump.

that's a DX..

in order to change to a manual, it's not terrible, but not too easy. need pedals, cable, trans, clutch, flywheel, shift linkages, cut a hole in the floor..

The engine is HF .... trust me I've tried buying DX parts and they don't connect into the existing wiring. HF parts do.

so it's a 1.3 liter?

the DX is the only trim level with an auto tranny for the 1g CRX
though it shouldn't be too hard to convert it you can get a M/T for it for dirt cheap i found a rebult one up here WA with a 3 year 36k mile warranty for 90 bucks

yeah, same thing i was thinking. and the HF uses same connectors. problem is if you're getting parts for the wrong years. 84-85 had different connectors on some parts than 86-87. definitely a DX.

So I really like the Honda 1980's CRX. I am looking to get my first car, and I think that a CRX is the right car. But I want the CRX HF (for the fuel efficiency). I found a 1987 Honda Civic CRX at a kinda sketchy Auto trader place. But I can't really tell if it is a HF engine that will get me good gas mileage or not. It only has 101,000 miles on it (i think pretty good for an car that old). I called to see what type of engine it had (the D15B6 is HF) and they didn't even know what I was talking about. The car is going for $1600. What do you guys think?

CRXR

1600 seemd pretty high for such an old crx , might as well buy a newer Si for that price
