interesting.

I cant wait to see what the great //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bowdown.gif.b85b23b82970bd22fb6b549c3392f016.gif audioholic //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/bowdown.gif.b85b23b82970bd22fb6b549c3392f016.gif has planned for this car..

Thankyou for the confidence. lol
I really dont know what Im gonna do yet. A few weeks ago my daily driver (V8 gas hog) was totaled when someone pulled in front of me. So out comes that system and fit what I can in this little thing, I guess. I dont know anything about crx's yet beyond their fame in the SPL lanes. Im guessing my dual 8" IDQ's is out of the question, and the horns too. Prolly just do a simple active 2-way with crap I have around here. For subs... I dunno, i still have a pair of 05 xxx 15's, not spl subs, but I really dont want a one note wonder either. No idea if I can fit both 15's, only one, or if I should sell them and do something diff totally. *shrug*

Anyone know how many cubes I have to work with behind the front seats without doing a wall?

Is it light blue? new engine with 30K and 200k on the car itself? this would be one hell of a coinsidence, if so, I had the same thoughts of buying it. it is an HF, if it is the same one. it looked to be a really good car. good luck

i recently bought a 90 HF. 5 spd manual steering, no options whatsoever except for am/fm radio. best 600 dollars ive spent IMO lol. i wouldnt bother switchign it to power steering. if you have any upper body strength at all you wont really even feel a difference...these cars are around 1800-1900lbs DRY...

No its a (kinda gay) purple. It was for sale on the side of the road in a place where locals park used cars for sale regularly. He said it had only been out for sale 2 hours when I called him. I drive by there several times daily, he wasn't lying.

I dunno if it was an awesome deal, it needs tires, is very plain... but it runs good and will get great mileage. Time to trade in the gas hog for a small daily beater I guess. Always intrigues by the crx's, figured what the hell. Was an impulse buy. lol

Yeah I know, it drove easily enough. And Ive had a couple other small cars that were manual steering back in my younger, poorer days. No big deal.
Sounds like it is an HF model then I guess. He said he thought the 35 mpg was conservative, and in town. Maybe it'd make 50mpg on the highway I dunno. Thanks for the info.

do some glass work with components on the dash. I pretty sure the crx has a good dash for that.

That's okay, when I drive my H1, people call me an a-hole who doesn't care about the environment. When I get older and Im driving my chevelle, people will say Im just an a-hole having a mid life crisis. When I drive one of my lifted blazers people call me a redneck a-hole, then I tell them it has a gas guzzling bigblock and they really hate me. And when I ride my Harley, people know Im an a-hole. And while I dont deliver pizza for a living, I deliver to my house all the time. So really in a way, your sarcastic flame is very fitting. Thankyou for your input.

the one I was looking at, was $4500 or $5000. so IMO you got a good deal, not that I would pay 5k for a crx. but still, your golden. but with the weak *** engine you may want to consider an 18lb sub that a ceritain someone really likes:laugh: thats a joke, don't get your panties in a wade! that was a joke also.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

post some pics.

I still want to find one
