What to check for?

aight here is the dealio, my friend is looking into getting a 88 crx hf, with a b18c in it, it also has N2O hooked up, i think the guy said it was a 80 shot but not 100% sure, we will be taking a trip to check it out, it's several hundred miles away so it'll prolly be one trip, what should i look for to make sure its in good condition with the N2O? what questions should i ask before we even go. i already asked what kit he put on it but didn't get a reply as of yet. the guy actually seems to be knowledgable so thats a plus. um also when i take it out for a test drive( i will prolly be doin all of that as he has no licience and isn't too fam. with honda's, he's used to big ol' cars, like camaros) what should i look for in the way the engine responds to the nitrous if its all hooked up and i can give it a crack what should i look for and be careful i don't do? never drove, or even rode in a car with it. i know only at wot, but do i necessary have to be in any specific gear? i know not to try it in first as it goes by really quick. how long will the burst last?

sorry for the novel just wanna get some info

A couple of suggestions: 1. Hold on tight. 2. There is no specific gear to be in, but I would recommend 3rd. As soon as you shift into 3rd, hit the button and hold on. BTW, WOT is a necesity. 3. Some basic question to ask him are things like how many times has it been used, what kind of kit is it. BTW, an 80 shot seems kind of big for a CRX, is it stock? If not, be carefull, you don't wanna mess up the air/fuel ratio. Hope that helped.
