Default Thinking of getting a 1990 Wagon for Daily...

Hey guys,
I'll be honest i really don't know much about EF's and want to know if this car would make a good daily. Info: 1990 5sp 4dr wagon. 200k+ miles, PS, AC, oh and they want 1495 for it.
here it is...


My question, will it last? They said its had its timing belt and clutch recently done, but how i can i really tell if they are telling truth. is there any potential for this car? i was thinking of slapping a Greddy turbo kit on it, since i have friends at Greddy, would the kit even work for this model D15? Thanks please help me decide. i've got about 1500, i want a clean EF but i can't find any in San Diego.

personly i love wagons, there pretty kool, lowered on some LS webs or rotas they look sick

and they have alot of space in them too

as far as the greddy yea it will go on a d15, but if you realy wanted a daily driver and something to have a bit of fun in, id look into a ZC/LS/B20 or something with some torque so you can haul a bunch of people with baggage around eazyer

they also made a 4wd version it was a 6spd also, granny gear insted of a 6th realy, they are harder to come buy but are nicer and more "neat" IMO, alto the only swap possible with the RT4WD ones are a ZC, they come D16A6's already and the 6spd AWD tranny is dseries only

You can turbo it, jus need to do the mpfi & a few litttle things(like a compression check, never hurts). I turboed mine, no prob. Make sure your fuel is on the money...in fact http://www.homemadeturbo.com is a good place to look for turbo info.

Since the clutch and timing belt were already done you are looking at EF civic relaibility. Jus body parts may be a bit of a stretch to find. Since you live in Cali theres no cancer issues like the midwest (just ask me)

I also have a forum setup for the wagon as well. Whatever you decide to do let us know
