"noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

i was looking in to getting a civic to play with and i found a 1990 civic hatch with a blown head gasketfor $500 with a 5 speed is it worth it?
howmuch will it cost for the new head gasket?
and is this a good foundation for a future turbo build?

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

Yea it's fine and a good deal if the body is in decent shape. Replace the headgasket with an MLS one from a Y8, they cost around $25-30. You'll also want to do a MPFI swap if it's a DPFI civic. Then slap a turbo on that bitch and have some fun.

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

odd number unless thats what you've got in your bank account? go for it..

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

I say 20 bucks

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

yeah you wanna start low

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

yeah to bad the guy sold it before i could get ahold of him (found it on craigslist) but i have been eyeing up a 1994 civic coupe that some old lady owned since new for $1200 (only 93xxx miles, and a 5speed, or a 1993 sedan with an h22 swap i found for $1500 (the sedan is nice but it has a body kit and i hate body kits they are so ricer)

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

H22's make for fun semi cheap power, offer him 1000cash and hit up ebay for new front and rear bumpers. h22 4 door ftw!

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

buy that old ladys ----
it hasn't be fucked with yeah
y but someone elses project
buy the coupe


let us know

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

will do.

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

Definatly don't buy the h22 swapped one. Stock cars for projects are much nicer. They haven't been fucked with. I already made that mistake.

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

i agree. and im the kind of person who likes to do things myself. 2 reasons being: 1)i know what i want to do and how i want to do it. 2)i can say that I did all the work, which gives me mad skeelz, lol

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

the only bad thing is i like the sedan much better (the body style of the sedan not speaking in this case) and where i am coupes are all over and all of them are riced out
i.e. 3foot high wing egay cai and and egay fart can and alteza tail lights and sterios with more power than the stock engine(oh and they are all automatic, i hate auto sooooo bad).

i want somthing that will hide in plain sight, somthing that is a sleeper but is not trying to hide what it is.(as in the fact that is is just a little honda so it shouldn't be fast but we all know the potential for power in them, so it's hiding in plain sight)

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

if you want to go baller sleeper status, get a first gen civic and put a boosted single cam in it, retard

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

I think by first gen u mean ef(which is not at all a first gen...)

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

Cars are like girls, virgin ones are always better, who wants one that has been all molestered up?

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

just buy the h22 civic, find a mexican or redneck, and trade them the ricer ---- for stock ----

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

an 81' civic turbo'd would be sleeper as ----

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

thats true but i have had a hard enough time finding somthing thats not a cavaqueer or v6 rutstang where i am you are either a beener or your car is beened out or you are a cracker and your car is riced out with a slice of uber wanabe gangster

how about this?

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

you are a retard. ef's are 4th gens. a first gen is like 78, 81ish.

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

ya just get a ef 88 91 civic hatch back do a mini me swap on it (vtec head from a ex) and slap small turbo t25 14b or small t3 .42/.48 obd1 re wire and tuned out by some hmt memeber in your area wiht crome and ---- and be gansa

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

i found an 89 supra 1jz for $350 only problem is some rust on the fenders and it's non turbo and auto but all is fixable fight?

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

dont buy taht ---- unless u know wat ur doing and dosent sound like u do.. hondas are cheaper to do ---- wiht

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

i know i just want to get somthing with potential i mean i could boost the 1988monte carlo (4.3v6) but i want somthing that is stick and gets better than 8mpg and a top speed or better than 75 (the 4.3"s suck they are a truck engine)

Re: "noob question inside" 1990 civic hatch
 

are you sick? a boosted 4.3 would be teh hotness....is you trans fucked or something? My 91 bubble wagon would go faster than 75, and that was on a fucked up 305 and slipping/popping grinding tranny.

Anyway...just get a ------- car....supra is more baller and in the end be faster/handle better than a FWD hatch, but like it was said earlier, a hatch would be cheaper to make fast. Its up to you we dont make your money...its your choice as to what POS you have to drive to work everyday.

I would choose a Supra over a hatch anyday...but if they both are cheap as ----, cop em both.
