The biggest problem with the CRX HF is that most of them were converted to more powerful engines long ago. Plus, the early ones with the plastic fenders are all but extinct-even in dry states. If you can find one, great. Finding parts for it will be another problem all together. For a Honda though I would suggest either a Civic VX or HX as they are easier to find and have lean burn engines and tall gearing to have surprisingly good FE. Plus, they are based off of Civic generations that are still popular with the tuner crowd and still available in the self-serve junkyards.
