Seriously?? Buy the newest Model you can find after a loooong search.
These are a Hobby/Comittment... Not transport, just so you know that at the outset.
Bit of My views/history of the critters
84 8 valves were the Toughest Engines.. lowest power too.. But?.
85's And some (most?) 86's had the insulation crumbling off the wiring harness issues (many here seem to ignore/ forget/dismiss about the problem.. but 'back then' Most 85/86 models went to the crusher as result.
Was there, watched it happening...it was real and no joke.
Rewiring the car to remedy the problem, the labour cost alone was worth more than their residual value...even when these were only 3/4 years old.
Maybe the survivours are good ones.. dunno? Risky though.
85 and 86 (at least?) engines had the lo performance 16 v cyl head.. [Honda apparently used that early cyl head as a teaching tool on how not to design a 16 dohc head.. True)
It was eventually redesigned just not sure when.
Lovely old cars. But Do a lot of research first, there are Lotsa Dogs lurking about.
Preferably research not entirely amongst the true believers, as too many issues are glossed over by faith alone.
Happy hunting
