    welcome dude, but this thread is worthless without pics ! I also own the exact same car as you, so that's why i'm curious of pics 8)

    Here are some pics (On Facebook).

    She still needs a good cleaning inside (and engine bay), new set of rubber, new rear shocks, etc. But she runs great and an EW1 Motor with the 3BBL :-P

    Enjoy

    Hell yes : ) That car is great. I have a 86 just like it with rust in same spots, 4x4 though, and I love it. I am rust free in most of the important areas, this summer I am taking the wagon off the road for total rust repair, and if money is available, a D16A1 to give the wagon 130 HP stock : 0 and maybe a turbo by a year from now.

    They are sweet cars.

    Thx!

    I got a few rusties starting on the body but nothing a little work will not take care of! Otherwise solid!

    I am just gonna keep it fairly stock for now..besides the essentials..tires/brakes/tune up/shox/timing belt/water pump/valve cover gasket...This EW1 motor has a whole lot of life left and is pretty damn peppy as is!

    I just hate to get the price tag on replacing the timing belt/water pump..I am fairly mechanically inclined but it looks like a BIOTCH of a job due to space to work.

    I thought the D16A1 had 113 hp (browntop) and 118 hp (blacktop)... I had a G1 Integra a few years ago, so yeah.
