hf's have really long gear ratio's, smaller intake then normal, the tac starts redline around 5000rpm. The interiors are usually blue on them. They are lighter then other crx's.

Only crx/civics that came with sun roofs were si's. Unless some one swaped one on aftermarket style. But then the 91 ex 4 door came with a sunroof to.

check under your kick panel to the right of your ecu, HF should be etched into the floor board if it truly is an HF
