As much as I hate to say it, I believe you're SOL (Seriously Outta Luck...). At least with respects to performance add-ons such as an intake. Someone mentioned/suggested dropping in a K&N air filter. That is an excellent suggestion. Because you have a first generation CRX (pre-1988), there isn't going to be a lot available. You also have an automatic which is yet another strike against you. This is not to say that it's a bad car. There has been times where I wished my CRX was an automatic (during those times where I was stuck in stop-and-go traffic for 2 hours...). If you seriously want to add some engine performance, and you have the time and money to invest in this car, then consider an engine swap (http://www.hasport.com/). You can also check out my friend's 1987 CRXsi page for some of his performance tuning he's done with his car: http://www.scott.harris.net/page9.html I know it's an Si but perhaps it will give you some ideas What I would do is keep your 87 stock, put some nice wheels and tires on it.. perhaps drop it an inch to give it a nice stance and just make it a nice cruiser and then focus your efforts on finding a second gen CRX where there are a bit more performance choices available. Again, that's just my personal opinion. Best of luck! Robert K.
