Default first post, general info requested

hi there, this will be the second honda i have personly owned, frist was a cbr f3 1995 sport bike.


and now a 1988 dx 4 door with a 1.5


its a little scary how this car is in such good shape, new (used) engine, new tires, new brakes. for 75$ (and full tank of gas)

but the first question, is am i missing it or is there a section on the older civics like this one?
there are no real plans for this car, as i got it for one thing. i cheap to/from work car. so that being said and being among thoses that jsut cant leave
well enough alone, what other than basic stuff should i do to get a little more peep in the step? i already know i am asking too much but you knwo i figure i would ask.


but i can get my hands on other honda engines like the v6 engine the accords and i think some civics came with. any one done this swap or not worht the time and effort on somthing this old? no thtat it really matters.


sorry if these are repeat questions. but any info is welcome, thanks

make a plan for what you want to do with that car, really. If you plan to have just a commuter than leave it alone. And forget about putting a V-6 into it. Too expensive if at all possible in that chassis. I would though get a MPFI conversion and a never engine like a JDM d15b of a USDM d16z6
