hi I have been reading up on your post and I have a 87 crx hf all stock and it runs the cooling fan a lot it has a half to 1/4 sized radiator mine had ac stock and it has the condensor and it is more than twice the size of the radiator I noticed in your photos that the left side has the original ultralight hf alloys let me know if you want to trade for a matched set of steelies with center caps some one stole one of my originals out of the back and the other front one is a little square, my crx is also carbed and i get a average of 48 mpg mostly city free way 10 mile hops it is missing lowest front air dam and the front nose piece is all cracked and tyed on with a boot lace and it flaps but is the twin in color,, yea my engine is using a little oil and I really baby it on take off so as not to atract attention to the mesquetto killing will eventually try to find a tdi vw front drive train the are pricey though . I am curious if you have wieghed it sense all your mods
seems like it has a stock curb wieght of 1780lbs with the alloys mine has I have been looking for about 6 months for a rear wrecked 5spd tdi I have always thought about finding a rear wrecked crx hf and doing a 3 wheeler boat tail would have to be pretty long unless you narrowed the original cab but that is lots of timer and money Great effort, lol
