[NJ] FS: 1991 Honda CRX HF/VX Federal HX with Federal D15Z1 Conversion

SOLD

I am posting this car for sale on behalf of my father. It is currently his Daily Driver.



His reason for selling is simple. He has been working a blue collar job his whole life which has taken a toll on his shoulders, and driving a stick shift car with manual steering is getting tiresome. He is nearing retirement age and is making arrangements to have shoulder replacement surgery. This will make the need for the vehicle obsolete due to long term disability and the ability to drive the car disappear.



With that out of the way, here are the details on the car.
  • It is a 1991 Honda CRX HF, Federal (Taller Final Drive) with 283,601 miles
  • The engine is a 1993 Civic VX D15Z1 and the conversion was done at 262,521 miles
  • At the time of the conversion, the donor engine had ~130,000 miles, which now puts it at ~150,000 miles.
  • The engine was partialy torn down and inspected. New OEM Head Gasket, Head Studs, Timing Belt, Water Pump, Tensioner, Valve Cover Gasket, F&R Main Seals, Distributor, Alternator, Clutch , Radiator, and Spark Plugs were installed among other maintenance items. The engine was perfectly clean inside, and the cross hatching on the cylinder walls was still visible.
  • The car runs flawlessly, I performed the wiring myself, and used a Boomslang wiring harness for the OBD0-OBD1 conversion. He has put over 20k miles on the conversion without a single issue.
  • Beyond the engine swap, the car has newer brakes, wheels, tires, struts, trailing arm bushings.
  • All maintenance records are available as well as reciepts.
  • The car had rust on the rear wheel wells which was professionally repaired.
  • In the interest of full disclosure, there is a water leak somewhere on the drivers side. My father removed the carpet on the drivers side due to moisture, and there is only a floor mat on that side. It only leaks while driving in a heavy rain, it does not leak while parked which is why we were not able to find it.
  • My father is not a "hypermiler" and routinely gets high 40's to low 50's MPG. When I borrowed the car for a week, I got 58MPG using basic hypermiling techniques.
  • Everything in the car works as it would from the factory, including AC, the radio, etc.
  • Other than the water leak, there are NO issues with this car and I would not hesitate to drive it across the country and back if desired.
  • The LAF sensor is OEM, and was used at the time of the conversion, there are NO codes.

With all of that being said, my father's asking price is SOLD

, he has a clean title in hand and is not in a rush to sell. You can contact him at 6 zero 9 - seven 0 nine - 7 two three 7 or at esd_dmd at yahoo dot com. His name is Ed and he loves to talk cars, so if you call be prepared to get an earfull.

This car is very clean and you will not be disappointed, my father's meticulous nature is borderline mental. The pictures speak for themselves.







































For an extra $400, my father will include a set of 14" HX wheels with the car.



Thank you for the space ecomodder.
