No power steering on CRXes, they're light enough not to really need it. (It can be retrofitted from the Civic EX, but it isn't needed.)

My other teenager male drives an 88 acura integra with multiport DX engine.
That would be a D16A1, which is not really a "DX" engine. It is still D-series, like most of the Civics were up through the 2000 model year. (The Integra was based on the Civic platform, especially for its first iteration.)

Weak points: need timing belts every 100k miles, and fuel pumps every 150k miles.
Never had a fuel pump issue with just under 200,000 miles on CRXes (Si models). But 100K miles on a timing belt is just asking for trouble. I had mine done every 60K miles.
