Car is being picked up from the mechanics shop friday.
I had a bunch of maintenance work done to it. Everything was original, from the fuel filter, to the timing belt and water pump !

- replaced timing belt + water pump
- drained engine block and radiator, added new Honda type 2 Coolant
- new thermostat
- new alternator belt
- new fuel filter
- flushed old engine oil using Amsoil engine flush
- Changed engine oil and filter used Amsoil 10w40
- changed original distributor cap and rotor (did myself)
- 4 new spark plugs (did myself)
- replaced original spark plug wires with new NGK Blue wires (did myself)
- replaced original air filter (did myself)
- did emission smog test and passed with flying colors.
- car didnt need anything for safety certification.

I had a 91 crx Si a while ago. Had 320000 on the clock and still going strong when I sold it. From what I learned when I had it a long while ago was that the Si motor and the HF motor were pretty easily swappable as they were both MPFI the DX and LX of that vintage were DPFI.
