My '85 CRX (Need Help!!!)....

:confused: Ok i have a 1.5 Auto-Matic, it likes to sometimes stall or it hesitates from stop to go. What are some cheap ways or methods to increase speed or how it runs? Also what are your guys opinions on those rear windshield "BLINDS" accessory ?

Drop a Integra motor in it. a pretty easy swap. I believe it's a 86 motor?

as for the blinds? ARRRGGGHHHHH!! I hate those things! :)

Hmmm...I would swap like vince said. However, if the car is carbed then it is going to be a pain. As for rear sun shades I can't stand them.:(

from what I read, it's not that bad. it's in the latest HONDA TUNER magazine.

I was planning on dropping an INTEGRA motor a little bit later when i got more cash :) But for now i need to make this motor run good. I was either thinking of selling this car & buying a si model crx or just upgrade this engine for now. What should i do to make it run better? What things should i do or buy? All advice appreciated!

well, seeing as how there is pretty much NOTHING available for that car...not sure what you can do.

there IS a company that does turbo kits! 1500.00 bucks...and they look nice!

I wouldnt even bother trying to mod that motor up or anything. i would just try to fix the problem so it's runs so you can sell it to the person in good shape. then i would go out and buy a 88-91 Si because there is alot more that you can do to the newer CRX's. Good Luck.:D
