about a month ago i bought a 91 hatch with a blown engine for $680. i droped in a d16y8 block. im gonna get rid of the fart can and put in flowmaster. the tip is just to big. btw i know is dusty and dirty. i havent driven it for a while. today im gonna armorall it anf wash it. what do you guys think.nice or rice?

 

You have a nice car there. Get a set of OEM tails and get rid of that fartcan and it's all good.

Looks good, once you get rid of that fart can and get OEM taillights it will look better.

 

agreed, will look tons better with oem tails, and new exhaust

 

You MUST take off that fart can, that is pretty bad, get rid of that retarded T-handle shifter, and get some oem tail lights and polish that bitch up and she's good to go. nice find

 

it's a fine little car

Even to dump the fart can and I would agree its good to lose it go with another muffler then flowmaster.

T handles are for cars that have steering stops. Back to stock tails and you'll be set with a nice little daily.

 

luckly the car came with its oem lights. i was gonna drop them on. what kind of flowmaster should i get. i want the least of rice noice as possible. its got 3 in piping already b & m short shifter and stuff like that. i dont like the t handle either but there is not much i can do about it. the threads are fu*ked up on it. i have to rethread but i dont trust aluminum much when it comes to rethreading

 

Question,What shifter handle is that?
It is like the old hurst type ones,that is tight
I'm just wondering.
Don't worry about opinion to much-it's your car.Do what you really want the way it look likes in your mind-you will never be wrong

 

those plug wires look a little long or something. get a longer shifter that has to be annoying

 

its nice...pretty clean. just take that coffee can exhaust off, and some stock tail lights and you'll be set...IMO that shifter is WAY to short, and the B&M shift **** should be in a american V8 haha...but nice start. i 'd buy it for $1000 right now...wanna sell?

Not a problem, just ditch that entire shifting setup.
I run a Hurst on both my camaro and hatch

3" piping is horridly oversized no exhaust will sound good with that.
I would say repipe it to 2" or 2 1/4 if you must be bigger. Measure for size and I've seen a few writeups using a stock camaro ss muffler on 4th gens, flows more then enough for the little 4s in them. Or just get a ES borla magna flow etc. I really am not happy with flowmaster stuff, I just junked a flowmaster setup on my camaro and love the tone now.

No street car should have to suffer a T handle

Being said my thunderbird had one but also lifted the front like whoa

 

well as always money is an issue. i have a **** load of bills. i wish i could get a different shifter with the original ****. but i want a short shifter tho. it feels a lot more firmer to shift. i tried to rethread that shifter but i just made it worst. i just went with the t handle. i have a lot of things that i need to buy for it. plug wires tires ect. but i want to get rid of those rims. im not sayng there ugly but too thin. i just had enough money to buy the motor and i had to put it in myself.along with that a new cat because the one it had was hollowed out and i needed to pass emissions.it passed with flying colors. but today i have sum free time and im slaping in the oem lights for sure.

 

Hurst setups are worth the money. I'm very picky and all of my cars used them.

For plugs and wires don't get anything but NGK copper plugs and the blue wires it's all you'll ever need.

If it makes you feel better to spend more on them by all means do so, I had ngk iridiums for a long time and liked them.

I changed back to coppers after building my motor no changes at all only plugs i'll ever use at 79 cents per it works awesome.

well i got 8 for free that came with the car. that means my next tune up im gonna drop the other 4. i mean why not use them when you can.

 

it has good potenital

 

looks good to me..tails dont bother me,,but the exhaust is funny looking..and those wheels are rare,,only seen one set in person ,ever..

 

Its ight!!

 

omg thats a biggggggggg ol fart can lol and those alien spaceship lights but it has potential

 

Go to the junkyard and buy some tails, stock exhaust, and a shift **** for like $50. Then save up for an Apexi WS exhaust. I got mine in yesterday, it is gorgeous!

 

yeah man looks good give it a good bath!!! Just take off the pepboys specials and clean the expletive out of it. When i first got my hatch the previous owner had spray painted some interiour parts yellow!!! WTF and had some other real silly **** on the car. I stayed up all night taking out all the gay **** and cleaning the hell out of it, i honestly removed the whole interior and seats and **** lol, im a neat freak what can i say. But once it was all nice and clean it was mine, now it looks great to me and will look even better once im done which will be never.

 

not bad for the price.. good find
