Default Just bought a 1991 Civic Si Hatchback, already in love, bunch of questions.

Found a good deal on craigslist, just needs some body work which I plan on doing soon. Engine has 7k miles on it, body and trans have 304k on them. Was adult owned its whole life, in the past 4 years by a guy who has worked at Honda for the past 30 years. It has always stayed in his circle of friends. There's a few small things wrong with it, but I love how it drives. First thing I'm doing is replacing spark plugs and doing an oil change, the spark plugs in it are for a turbo setup, which the guy also has and is willing to sell me. He has freaking everything for the t3/t4 turbo, it was assembled competently but never put on. He has the original motor, too. He said it was using more oil than he liked so he put a brand new motor in, a 1.6 something or other. Haven't memorized the engine codes yet.

Already found a fix to a couple things wrong with the car.

Settings 1 and 2 don't work on the heater/ac (which blows cold), but I found the solution to this problem here:

https://honda-tech.com/forums/tech-misc-15/blower-motors-works-speeds-3-4-but-not-1-2-fix-how-2082345/

The spoiler on the back makes the stock windshield wiper for the back too long, anyone have any suggestions on a smaller sized one I could use?

Also, it needs the steering wheel collar kit or something. It doesn't have the horn hooked up currently and I want to fix this immediately, as it bothers me as a safety concern.

Also, the emergency brake needs fixed and/or adjusted. Not sure if I should start playing with the adjustment (he seemed pretty sure this was all it was), I don't want to adjust it and then have the e-brake get stuck or something and be without a car.

Let's see.. one more question about my car, can I get quarter panel patch panels? What about a hood latch cable?

Thanks in advance!
