This CRX HF weighing in at a svelte 1,713 pounds is bone stock and has the distinction of Honda's early fuel miser - - originally rated at 52-55 MPG highway. Mine was recently tested at 48 MPG while being driven on a two lane highway maintaining a speed of 60-65 MPH. Besides being a great commuter car its future may also be at the drag strip with a later model V-tec motor because it is the lightest CRX built which translates into low ETs. This was accomplished by using plastic front fenders, aluminum air filter housing and rear brake drums, smaller axles, carbon valve cover and other misc. pieces.
All of the gauges operate correctly* including the clock and heater controls. The A/C works but I would not advertise it as "ice cold" as some do. The rear defogger grid is not working because of broken wires in the joint at the rear hatch hinge area. The up-shift* indicator has a mind of its own since it will randomly signal for an up-shift when in 5th gear !
All the tires are in good condition - the two new ones are also included in this auction (these were bought recently for future inventory).
The AM-FM-Cassette radio has been up-dated with a newer model using a harness adapter with no cut wires during installation. It has 2 front & 2 rear speakers and the right front will distort if bass signal is boosted.
One of the photos will show a close-up picture of a recent rust area at the base of the passenger side pillar. The rest of the photos are self explanatory - be sure to notice the large amount of spares that go with this car including the original CRX brochure that appears as new.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Is Acura working on a premium minivan?
Mon, 10 Nov 2014Here's a vehicle that nobody saw coming. Unless Honda/Acura is keen to play tricks on us, our spy shooters recently caught what appears to be an Acura minivan fully camouflaged for testing on some back roads on a rainy day.
Details on the disguised minivan are rather scarce, but it certainly bares all the hallmarks of an Acura. The front grille alone gives it away with a look that mimics the latest MDX, and note that the orientation of the rear door handle heavily suggests that it slides to open. Moving inside, the tester appears to borrow some tech from the luxury brand's parts bin too, and the Acura logo seems to be covered in tape right in the middle of the steering wheel.
Mechanically, our spies believe that the production version of Acura's minivan might borrow the brand's V6, nine-speed automatic and Super Handling All-Wheel Drive - a similar layout to some trims of the TLX. The photographers also think that the vehicle is a little wider than the current Honda Odyssey to give occupants a bit more room. Given the more luxurious focus, the high-end model would surely carry seven people with a bit more opulence than the standard Odyssey, especially, we'd imagine, for second-row passengers. A launch for this posh hauler could be slated for the 2016 or 2017 model years.
