Looking to sell the Beetle TDI and get a CRX HF. First car was a CRX, and they're peppier than I remember having recently driven one. Selling TDI due to returning to school to finish my degree and needing funds towards that.

Always interested in mods for economy and performance, now more for economy. I imagine making a trailer or having a tow hitch on the CRX with a thick 'skin' in the shape of a long boat-tail for drag reduction. A nice tapering one, for highway trips. I would also like to put on an underbody pan, lower the car, have a camera for side-view mirrors, etc.

Anyone know if the 1984 CRX HF for California (where I am) is different than the 49 state models? If so, does anyone happen to know if what I believe is a '20-year-old car' law that bypasses needing to be smogged is actual for CA?

Anyone with any words of wisdom on the above?

It's good to be here!
