New guy from Indiana
Hi my name is Chris. I live in southeastern Indiana and Im pretty new to the import scene. I recently bought a 1990 ef hatchback with a 93 d15b7 motor. Ive done a lot of work on it so far but it still has a long way to go. Ive already replace the shocks and coil springs in the front along with two bad tie rod ends. (When i first bought the car it was riding with the front end roughy 4 inches above stock ride height due to someone putting the wrong coil springs in the place of the originals.)
Ive done a little paint just to kinda of change the look after i had got it riding at stock height. It did have quite a bit of stuff done to start. The motor has been completly refurbished and outside of a lil oil and some spark plugs I havnt had to due much to it. I did fix the cold air intake which when I got the car had been litterally attached to the intake. Bay is painted but wasn't properly primered so I'm dealing with that. I painted most of the intererior but want to finish it up. Going with a blue white feel.
So I got to be honest, I love driving my car. Its tons of fun to drive and gets ten times better gas milage than my former dd( bought the civic as a project and rolled my truck not 2 weeks later). But I do want it to go faster. After some research I've decided I want to attempt a y8 head swap on the motor. I'm in no hurry to start the project yet and I will start a thread when I'm ready to get my shopping list together lol.
Right now I'm having the most trouble finding oem style cornering lights for my hatch. From all I can gather they are very specific to the make and model, and i l think the one cornering light I still have (the other fell off and shattered into peices doing 80 mph on the interstate) is incorrect. If anyone has any or can drop me a line on where I could find some reletavily easy I'd greatly appreciate it.
Well thanks for reading!
