I kinda wish I had kept my 91 crx hf. It was a fun car to drive, like a go cart. But alas, no back seat. It was running lean burn too. Never went though a full tank though, probably got over 50 mpg. It cost nothing to list in CL, $500 is not a bad price for a good running car. Save the tail box for the anal crx.

I'm not doing **** to the Probe lol. The tail wouldn't fit the CRX anyway. I'd definitely aeromod it but no tail.

Anyway keep us posted with the sale progress... Pity you want to sell AnalProbe, I love your project, but I get the point, sometimes is better to change a car than to invest lots of $ to make it as FE as you want it to be.
That was the main reason for me to sell Prevka and to buy Berta.
So good luck!

I hate selling cars, it's a pain. On another note, I wonder how my wife can take my 52 mpg for 140 miles and turn it into 48 MPG in only 30 miles. She said it was city driving.

You know what I just found out? Lowering springs are about $60 on ebay. Which means I could lower the motherf&#$er four inches with a top notch alignment for like $150. And with double wishbone front suspension? I'm getting really giddy. Hope hope hope I can go check that baby out.
If you lower it enough you don't need wheel well gap fillers right? haha

No lean burn in that generation of CRX. They made their MPG the old fashioned way: Light weight, decent aero, tall gearing, and a small (ish) motor. They only had 8 valves as opposed to 16 for the other 2nd-gen CRXes, and the rocker arms had rollers for even less friction.
