This CRX HF weighing in at a svelte 1,713 pounds is bone stock and has the distinction of Honda's early fuel miser - - originally rated at 52-55 MPG highway. Mine was recently tested at 48 MPG while being driven on a two lane highway maintaining a speed of 60-65 MPH. Besides being a great commuter car its future may also be at the drag strip with a later model V-tec motor because it is the lightest CRX built which translates into low ETs. This was accomplished by using plastic front fenders, aluminum air filter housing and rear brake drums, smaller axles, carbon valve cover and other misc. pieces.
All of the gauges operate correctly* including the clock and heater controls. The A/C works but I would not advertise it as "ice cold" as some do. The rear defogger grid is not working because of broken wires in the joint at the rear hatch hinge area. The up-shift* indicator has a mind of its own since it will randomly signal for an up-shift when in 5th gear !
All the tires are in good condition - the two new ones are also included in this auction (these were bought recently for future inventory).
The AM-FM-Cassette radio has been up-dated with a newer model using a harness adapter with no cut wires during installation. It has 2 front & 2 rear speakers and the right front will distort if bass signal is boosted.
One of the photos will show a close-up picture of a recent rust area at the base of the passenger side pillar. The rest of the photos are self explanatory - be sure to notice the large amount of spares that go with this car including the original CRX brochure that appears as new.

Andretti Autosport switches to Honda power
Tue, 22 Oct 2013The IndyCar grid was split pretty evenly this season between Honda and Chevy power. Thing is, most of the front-running teams have been running Chevrolet engines. Except for Chip Ganassi Racing, the team that fields the likes of Ryan Briscoe, Scott Fixon and Dario Franchitti - but earlier this month Chip Ganassi announced it was switching to Chevy engines too, just like most of the other pack-leading teams.
Honda insisted it didn't need a flagship team to replace Ganassi, but that's exactly what it announced this weekend with the signing of Andetti Autosport. The team run by Michael Andretti won a few IndyCar Series titles under Honda power (in 2004, 2005 and 2007), and two Indy 500 wins (in 2005 and 2007), but switched to the Bowtie two seasons ago, winning the championship last season. But the vast majority of the team's victories - 39 out of 48 race wins - have been powered by Honda, and the two outfits undoubtedly hope they'll return to the winner's circle again with their new multi-year partnership that takes effect next season.
Honda scores big in Automobile Advertising of the Year Awards [w/videos]
Wed, 15 Jan 2014This year the Detroit Auto Show didn't just celebrate the automobile, it celebrated how we find out about the automobile, too. Partnering The One Club, this year introduced the 2014 One Show Automobile Advertising of the Year Award to Cobo Hall, celebrating winners in five different categories of advertising: broadcast television, online, interactive, experiential, and print/outdoor. Winners in those categories were judged by 50 creative directors and journalists, while a Public Choice category was chosen from among nearly 20,000 online votes.
Honda walked off with three of the six awards, its Hands spot taking Broadcast honors, its Sound of Honda getting the Online category and Illusions winning Public Choice. Hyundai made the grade in Interactive with Driveway Decision Maker, Fiat captured Print/Outdoor with its "Letters" ad, and Toyota's Tundra Endeavor Campaign spot and BMW's A Window into the Near Future were co-winners for Experiential.
You can watch all of the press release and winning videos below or check out all of the finalists, announced last month, for a refresher.
McLaren pondering Honda-powered 911 killer?
Tue, 21 May 2013As one of the premier sports cars in the world, the Porsche 911 is always driving around with a target on its rear-engined backside. If a new report is to be believed, the latest automaker with plans to build a 911-fighting sports coupe could be McLaren. Motor Trend is reporting that the recent news that Honda and McLaren are teaming up to build Formula One racecars could bear road-going fruit as well.
According to the article, the unnamed entry-level McLaren coupe may be powered by a Honda-sourced engine, but a detuned version of the 3.8-liter V8 from the MP4-12C is said to be more likely. All in, though, there is no solid information on the car just yet. As a reminder, M/T points out that the last time McLaren partnered up with a mainstream automaker, the world was introduced to the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren.
