My 91 L build thread

[Joe Dirt]

Ill start from the beginning

I got this car through a buddy of mine.He purchased it to do a B6-me swap i talked him out of it and eventually obtained the car from him with alot of haggling back and forth I got it for 500.00 SO i brought it home! It's had a rough life possibly been a previous swap car at one point in the past It used to have a tach and pillar gauges as evidenced by drilled holes in the pillar and dash would be interesting to know its history.It feels awfull quick for a 62 h/p motor so who knows what has been done internal. got a few "kills" under it's belt havent been outran yet absolute blast to drive

My goal
To have a fun,good gas mileage car to commute in possibly autoX in the future .

Current Mods
2" full exhaust w/no cat and "fart can"
Cone air filter,air tube baffle removed
syntheic oil
bumped timing,indexed and back clipped NGK plugs
"ebay 5" tach"
rear seat removed
Shifter linkage modded
APC civic short shifter

Future plans
B8 swap
Coil overs
suspension mods

Soon after getting it I pulled the interior for a good cleaning.It was filthy and stunk :blah5: I used my hose and purple power to get the stains out

[Joe Dirt]

I put some seat covers over the tattered seats and ommited the rear seat as i felt it wasnt safe for passengers

[Joe Dirt]

Then i ordered a APC civic short shifter off ebay to replace my worn stock one,while i was at it i fixed all the shifter bushings and the fall through the floor issue.Three days later i ripped the knob into and replaced it with a aluminum one

here are some pics of the new doors that i got at the pullapart.they come off a lx so they have the full door panels I loaded my guts into these doors
