I own an 84 dx1300. Can confirm it's a 5 speed transmission with tall gearing. The trans is out right now being reconditioned for re-installation.

Here's a build link

Many tire shops carry inventories of used tires in good condition for cheap. Check around. Your gearing is taller than the si transmission, but would be improved with a 84 dx1300 transmission if you can find one.

Some useful info:
CRX Specs & Performance

These transmissions only weigh about 70lbs, so it can be swapped in a driveway with jack stands. Keep a look out on car-part.com! If you can get the money together for really good tires, the Michelin Destiny is a good choice. The best part is that all the tires in this size are very light to begin with. There would be less benefit to a LRR 13" due to this fact. Higher rated sidewall pressures are a good specification to look for.
