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.
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.
My Mother (God rest her soul) bought a new blue '85 CRX HF when she traded her unreliable '76 Scirocco for it. Being the spendthrift she was it didn't even have a radio in it let alone A/C. If I remenber right, the 1.5 (1488) HF engine produced 53 hp. and had only 1 compression ring. The transmission had different ratios than the other versions with third gear already being an overdrive. Fourth & fifth gear were even deeper overdrives. It would get 50+ mpg. and tach 2000 rpm at 60 mph. I tested the top speed of it one night. Leaving it in third gear, the car reached 111 mph (indicated). The engine was spinning somewhere around 5800 rpm & still pulling before I had to back off.
