and my 95 coupe with a b18b turbo



Yep 91 civic lx with 285k on the odo and lots of rust. valves dont tap and the thing runs and drives great. although yesterday it would start, it would start cranking and then after about 3-4 seconds it would throw a code, yet i didnt get a chance to check it. is the plug in the same place as the 5gens?? then when i tried it later it just started right up and since then its been fine. Interior is MINT and the back seat has never been sat in.
i figure i will try my hand at body work, but i have never done it before, i got a welder, so i figure ill give it a shot. anybody got any hints or websites than can give me some info?????
this thing is my beater, cause my other car is getting 12-15 mpg im gonna sell it soon w/o the turbo and build up a 4gen hatch or crx, any suggestion??
THanks for reading and any suggestions, ideas are much appreciated.
later

 

heres my suggestion, if ur kinda on a budget, get a crx, zc engine, and put the turbo on. if u want speed get a crx!

I think that this guy didn't even have a thiny look at what you just wrote....

for the body work, you'll see it's not that hard buddy, just thake your time, do it by the right way, more metal that bondo... you can just patch with bondo, but it'll do **** all the way. weld on the back side of the pannel and use bondo for the smooth finish.
sorry no website for your help but i'm shure that there is some around here.
I would like to know too, it can be a great source of info too...
see ya and good luck

Hopefully for $600 it's a manual.....

 

as for the code thing. there is no plug. pull up the carpet on your passengers side footwell, and you'll see the ecu. theres a little red l.e.d on the ecu that flashes the code. just count the flashes

 

repairing rust, what you will want to do is cut off the rust areas with a portable grinder, then weld in metal sheets, use the grinder to smooth the welds,

bondo and make it straight and level smooth and flat,

 

good find, i just finished my 91 Civic EX, i got it for 250 but it had a nice hole in the block, i literaly just finished replacing the motor, runs and drives great, no rust, needs paint, and the damn blower motor quit working . other then that, i have 450 in it right now, i planb to sell it, anyone want a 91 Civic EX with 124K with a 94 d15b7 73k on motor? 5spd Si trany
