So... I got another car... And so, Little Blue ( my hatch ) will be leaving the corral next week. 
I finally got my hands on a stock CRX Hf.
It's an early 1989, so seat belts on the post!
She's White with blue interior.
And, she's basically a 1 owner car.
Amazingly she has 305,xxx miles on her, but was dealer maintained and was rebuilt at 280,xxx.
And, She runs awesome!!!
She did however have a little fender bender about a month ago, so she needs a little sheet metal ( hood, fender, possibly core-support ) and a little love.

& I still have to think of a name????
Any big plans for it?
I am going to be doing some Aero/Eco-Mods.. and keeping the drive-line stock..
I am a big fan of:

probably not going as crazy as:

I just put it on today.
I found one years ago but body was trashed.
kept some of the hf stuff though.
I am going the opposite direction with this one..
I'd like to find a spare tranny.. But, for another project.
Nice, reminds me of:

I think you should try to beat the 118mpg!
Nope..
Super Economy Project ! ! !
These are the Best MPG (Non-Hybrid) ever made in the U.S.
and I wanna see how many more MPG I can get out of her..
-Complete Belly Pan
-Removalble Boat Tail
-Grill Block
-Tire Spats or Contoured Deflectors
-Smooth wheel covers
-Lowered
-Rear wheel skirts
-Wiper area delete
Just to name a few
antenna block off plate.
I have a crx core support that I bought to rebuild my hf. I welded it on then took it back off when I scrapped the car.
Removable boat tail would be sweet. Also definitely gotta get rid of at least one mirror!
I'm trying to think of some way you can seal off all the seams on the car but still have functioning doors/hood/hatch...maybe some sort of thin rubber flaps? Hmm....
I am definitely thinking of ways to cover seams too.. Besides tape.

Sitting on HXs for now.
Ooooooo I like the sound of that. Pics?
Whats New..
Um.. Licensed it and have been driving her a bit..
1. First tank I averaged 43mpg and then I decided to pay attention to the shift light and keep my foot out of it... what would you know 48mpg 1/2city & 1/2 highway... I'm impressed....
2. I had put a red CRX hood on it for the driving and semi-straightened the drivers fender..
3. Just last week, I sanded and primed and flat whited the hood to match the faded stock white for now.. and then 2 days ago I decided to paint the Hood Gloss white, as it might match a little better... And then yesterday I decided to paint the hood "H" logo black and look around a see what i could start straightening, to get her back to shape.. Starting to look a little more respectable.
4.
CRXs and hoods dont go together very well!
It's because CRXs are just sooo bloody fast!!
This isn't my first hood to fly up... Just my first on a Civic.
This is my 30th CRX..
And this same exact thing happened to my 1st on too.. Only, it was with my brother at the wheel.. And, I sold the car after it happened.. And since, I bought many more...
I keep saying "This is the last Civic I'm buy." and I somehow keep finding more and buying them too...
