I need a little help. I am actaully thinking about buying an 89 Honda CRX for a daily driver (30-40MPG vs 15). I am able to get it for a really good deal. Is there any thing important I should know or look for before I buy it?

It is kind of hard to turn down this deal, but there seems to be a little problem with the car. It surges at higher speeds. I was told it maybe caused by the coil or the cap and rotor. Anyone ever had this problem before?

It could be a fuel issue as well. I have seen fuel pumps, fuel regulators, and fuel filters cause the same problem.

LOL

I very serious doubt that. Just looking for something else to drive before I up my Injector Size, and Install my supercharger. It will be nice to have something else to play with too though. I would have one of each then. Not really into imports that much, but who knows what the future will bring.
