Hello everybody.
Background:
I'm 22, from northern California. been just sort of tinkering with cars for about a year now. replaced brakes, spark plugs, oil. generic stuff. But I am desperately wanting to do more. Originally I come from Audi's and one day I'll have one, but just out of my price range for now.
The Car:
1991 Civic Wagon FWD. 185,000 Bought from a guy for $1250. had 4 brand new tires on it. Just needs to be smogged and tagged.
Drives good, no weird noises or anything. I know it needs a new clutch, it seems to slip a lot, and at 185K I should probably replace the timing belt as well.
The Plan:
Listing what I want to do to the car, In order of importance (Open to suggestions about what's more important)
All the Fluids ( engine oil, Transmission oil, coolant, spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and router) anything else i'm missing?
Timing Belt kit (water pump all that jazz)
Clutch kit ( the clutch is going out) no idea what I actually need for this.
New Radio Deck. going possible 2-3 months without radio sucks.
Power mods, (Cold air intake, Exhaust system) any other cheap ones?
Roof Racks.
New Driver seat
Paint!
