Default just got a 89 si hatch car

Got it CHEAP!!
full interior, good body, runs good, everything is there

Want to make it a dirt car/go kart kinda thing


its got an intake pipe on it with filter, but still has the little black intake hose
big fart can on the back


What some cheap things i can do to get this some more horsepower?
CHEAP



Also where is the B/S/T here? i need to get rings for a piston, cylinder #3 has low compression and i think the rings are bad.


cheap performance, where is all the weight at in the car, what to cut out?

Take off the bumper supports, remove the spare tyre, the peripheral seating and carpets. If the car has AC, remove all of this including the heater core. If your serious, replace the glass paneling with perspex.

the ac was gone because it didnt work... heat still works, i didnt think the core weighed much so i thought i would leave it there.. but if its weight itll go

and i noticed it has the factory spare tire still bolted down with all the tools.. i thought that was crazy every car ive ever had has never had a sparetire

All the glass has to go, i guess ill sell... replace the front with some plexiglass

when i remove the bumper supports is there metal behind that i can weld a bar to to come out the front so i dont hit trees/brush etc.

If you plan on mowing trees with it, perhaps you should leave the bumper support on.

Oh it's a CRX, not a hatch

Looks like it has been lowered too.

There's plenty of metal behind the bumper support to weld a bullbar onto.
