Re: 1988 honda crx hf rear suspension
knocking can usually be fixed by adding higher octane fuel, sometimes by giving the engine a tuneup, and also sometimes by just adding denser oil... loss of compression is one of the many reasons for knocking in a cold engine.
Since you said something about adding higher octane, I'm assuming you mean that you're adding some sort of "octane booster"... bear heavily in mind that you're wasting your money. Octane booster will usually state that it provides "X points of octane enrichment." What this actually means, is this: Say your normal fuel of choice is 91 octane... and you add this X-brand octane booster, which has "5 points of octane enrichment"... the result would be this: Ob/10+FO=TO (Ob= Octane booster "points", FO=Fuel octane rating, TO=Total octane.) Ob(5)/10 = .5... .5+FO(91) = TO(91.5)... so your actual octane content would be 91.5... not 96 like you would think.
If you read carefully, most of the companies that sell that crap actually explain it that way... this would be b/c they understand the reality of false advertisement claims.
I'm pretty sure you can use the entire rear suspension and brake system from a DA series Integra, including the rear discs, hubs, everything.
Should also be able to use the prop valve and master cylinder as well, afaik.
