Default Comming back to the EF, new EF owner

Well after couple years of driving integras I decided to switch back to one of my favourite civics EF....
So I got me a 1990 HONDA CIVIC DX, with a swapped Si motor... it has some mods done, but their all crap, and whoever installed the motor never even tunned it.Its pretty much stock right now, with some cancer, but I'm going to be changing that soon... I'm picking up my coiolvers on friday, so it won't sit that high after the weekend.
Heres some pictures:

Well for starters it was idling at 2'000 rpm when I got it, cause the ***** never installed a tensioner on the throtlle cable... all the vacum hoses are hooked up wrong and the cables comming out of injectors are holding with some tape.
The timming is off you can hear it, so it needs to be adjusted, and it also needs a major cleaning.

Ha totaly understand you bro. I went from a Gsr swapped 1997 EK coupe EX (all work done by me first in the east coast with obdII and P/S a/c in late 1996) to a 96 GSR, to a DB8 95 GSR, to 95 red GSR, to a Black 95 GSR, to a 91 EF civic SI hatch which I picked up today and love it !

i thought the jdm front had more work to it than just bolting it on?? <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by beyondspecs_jamar &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">not kit, just repaint and a nice set of wheels. jdm front if you want since it bolts on. then the exterior is complete lol.</TD></TR></TABLE>
