With the 1.3L engine from 1984-87 the civic hatch back came with a 4 speed while the 1984 CRX 1.3L (only year a CRX had a 1.3L) came with a 5 speed my understanding is that the gear ratio in top gear on both of the 4 and 5 speed transmission was about the same but that you ended up with greater spacing between them, however the CRX HF has a taller gear ratio giving you slower engine RPM at highway speeds.
All CRX's from 1984-87 had plastic front fenders and that bit in front of the hood is plastic too, CRX HF's didn't have a passenger side mirror, no rear wiper but they do have a little rear fin, no sway bars, most of the time they did not have a dash clock (altho it was a dealer option) and they did have an extra lower lip on the front bumper to bring it down lower and the radiator is tiny! 15" by 15"

The DX trim level has a hand full of options, like the dash clock, passenger side mirror, sway bars, maybe rear wiper... but I don't remember and a full size radiator.

The tachometer is a bit odd to find, but it's also not hard to swap out and apparently all the wiring is there for it already if someone did put it in from another car.
If it was an SI that someone swapped engines from, then it would have a factory sun roof as well.
