1985 Honda CRX HF review from North America
"When you have a budget and you need a car, a CRX is the answer, no doubt"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Since it is an 85 I've rebuilt the carb.
New evaporator, compressor and custom built lines for the A/C cause they are no longer made.
Battery.
Right CV cause I had lowered the the car for a while.
Two fenders cause they're plastic and a paint job and 5% tint (illegal, oh well) and just normal stuff like oil changes.
General comments?
I got the car in the summer of 99 from my uncle cause the dealer would not give him anything for the car cause it had no A/C so he gave it to me.
From there I have cherished it, it took me all the way through my senior year, every day it never skipped a beat. Mine does have a little lack of power especially when the A/C is on, but it is rare for an 85 CRX to have air conditioning.
It's a must on a low budget, it is incredible, I will keep her till she goes and with 98,000 original miles it'll be a while so I can save money and attend college.
