The engine bay for the CRX will be similar, but the rest of the car will have a lot of differences.

Cutting the belt should get rid of the rattling if your compressor is shot, and will not be irreversible. Simple fix the compressor and get a new belt.

There are measurablegains from an alternator delete. You can realistically expect 10% minimum.

I have 2 Michelin Defenders on my Insight (in the rear). They're one of the best tires available for it.
