random bit of CRX Si knowledge for the forum
I'm sure most of you already know this, but for those of us who do not...
a stock CRX Si will run happily on 89 octane gas with the spark timing advanced as far as the distributor will advance. The advance makes a small but noticable power increase after about 2,500 rpm.

Would there be any downside to doing this. What are the other benifits if any. Oh sorry for the noobie ? but advance is toward the firewall right.

Really no downside, unless you are detonating.

I advanced my **** yesterday and it started idling itself from 900 to 1500 over and over so I stopped and fixed it back. It did feel slightly better but I still have a alt problem that I thought was fixed but It will be today.
