A separate note, the car passed smog beginning of this year but recently failed smog. Should I be worried about that? What's the worst expense that might happen? A new catalytic converter? Could I manage an old used or junkyard one?
In my 1984 Civic/CRX brochure, there is a:
CRX manual (1.3L)
CRX 1.5 manual
CRX 1.5 auto
And a California version of each. I guess that makes 6. The 1.5 liter engine will say "12-VALVE" on the valve cover.
