i have some plans for this car when the motor goes, maybe swapping a H22 in it and boosting it. But untill schools over and i get a job, it will remain as is, (not a problem with me right now)

Not bad for a grand eh? I hope to learn alot of info. and get more interested in parts/knowledge for the ride.

Not bad at all for a grand :thmsup: I wouldn't do an H22 though...the car is light, if you drop in an H22 it will just become a straight line sled. Do something lighter and smaller, such a small car needs more balance than it needs horsepower. The chassis won't be able to handle it either, the axles are not very stout, don't know if you'd be able to find an aftermarket clutch, etc.

Congrats on your first car! I used to have a 1990 Accord LX 5 speed. I loved that little go-kart! A good friend of mine used to have a car just like yours, those things last FOREVER!!

Welcome!
