Amazing cars and I built one to a very high standard back in the day, but being a bit niche and old parts are an absolute bitch to source and for the prices they command you either need to LOVE the CRX or you're better off building an EG or EK hatch.

My first car was an EG VX hatch and everything on it was manual except for the brakes. The VX is similar to an HX as they were tuned for fuel efficiency with VTech and was rated at 56mpg, but I got 48 mpg.
