Ah.
Sweet deal!

 

Now for my first stupid question, the wifes mom drove it home since i was at work, she said that the oil light came on but only when she was on a hill, i checked the oil and there is nothing on the dip stick, i can tell it has a valve cover gasket leak, but i know alot of hondas do especially with higher miles, but now for my question, what grade oil does it take, i was thinkin 5w 30 but not too sure, thanks for any info, and i know to stay away from penzoil

 

I think 5w 30 is usable. As is 10w 30.

 

thanks, hopefully there isn't too much damage done if any

 

5W-30 is technically what Honda recommends but most people use 10W-30. As long as the engine is not knocking or making loud ticking noises you should be fine.

 

most people use 10-30 in the summer and 5-30 in winter bc its thinner

but seeing you live in TX either one would do all year

and the oil light coming on only on hill , the pump might be going or the oil pressure sensor could be going bad

 

Now for the last post of the day since i am limited to 5, lol. A little info on the car, its primer, the back seat was already gone, not that it was gonna last, it came with integra front seats, no radio, no A/C even tho in TX thats alright since it is a project and not the dd, came with a cai as you can see in the pic, no dome light, one corner light is amber the other is clear, the guy be4 the one i got it from was obviously and idiot, tryed to convert the front end, not sure exactly what, but i will post pics within the week, grinds 3rd and 4th if shifting at too high of rpm, but thats fine b/c i am gonna rip it all out eventually anyhow, trying to decide on the h2b or just do a b16, really just going for the most cost effective which would prolly be the b16, but any input would be great, never done a swap, currently working as a lube tech at a toyota dealership so really i don't know much yet, but i'm sure there is a lot of help out there, thanks in advance

 

me i would do somthing easy.Like a ls turboand surprize a lot of people arud there

X2 That was such a waste for the PO to have. He should be shot.

PLEASE restore the cosmetics to its original glory. With a odometer like that, I would make it stock on the outside, other than wheels/tires/suspension.

Please paint it back to stock. IT looks so sad.....

Couple more pics of the car so now you can see what i mean about the fenders, no either its an HF or DX, when i checked my vin with the vin decoder under the FAQ page it said it was the Std version, but the motor is the D15B2 which i believe is to be that of a DX, also it has Si kinda scratched off of the hatch but then again it could be a hatch off an Si, but i did find out it has disc brakes all the way around, and after a day of driving it, i think the master cylinder is going out since when stopped it feels like the brake pedal is trying to make its way to the floor or it could just need to be bled, also the clutch pedal is stiff as hell engaging and disengaging it, either way its gonna be a fun project and i think i decided on an LS Vtec, but my options are open since its gonna be a while before i actually get to the fun stuff

 

nice pick up on the 90 rex man... makes me wish i could put my rex back on the rd. but its strickly gonna be a track car when im done with it.
