hello... im in loooooove with hatchbacks and i just bought one... however due to my low income and inability to find a better job because of my age (17) i had to settle with a 91 hatchback (ek is my dream car)... i asked for help on some other chats and they just responded with "i wouldnt fix an almost 20 year old econobox"... yes it crushed me but hey its what i can afford.. sorry im not a big tymer cash maker... so anyway i dont know SQUAT about cars.. i know names n stuff but not how they work n all... n since i dont really have anyone to ask i was just wondering if anyone had the patience to help out a noob... because i want to prove wrong everyone whos been saying my car is crap...(my whole family shakes their head at me n tells me to park it a block away) so help a fellow hb-lover out yea???
ok so if youve read by this far.. what i just wanted to know was how to tune up my car to the point where it runs decent and doesnt have to be super or turbocharged... just a lil bit more decent hp.. well heres the present condition and any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED
currently:
-91 LS engine (B18A1??)
-passenger side engine mount cracked
-oil pan removed (i have it tho)
-front and rear bumper off (also have both)
-driver side window doesnt go all the way up
-passenger side mirror missing
-no oil in the engine (what kind to use?)
-no ecu??(he said that it needs a new ecu)
-muffler is hanging almost to the ground
-front hose right below the passenger side is not covered?? (i dont know what the hose is for)
-air filter hose seems to be cut (is it suppossed to be like that or is it suppossed to be just one long hose)
-car smells like an old man (haha i dunno just whining about that one)
-my key wont work on the lock of the back door
-how can i find the mileage on the engine
-performance parts i should invest in (must be affordable!! boston market only pays me so much.. )
-some rear and tail lights are broken
-what parts should be integra and what parts should be kept honda?
