Hi guys.

I just bought a 1990 Civic hatch, is from the European market so you don't have this engine in the USA, is a 1.3 single carb 75hp.

I hope to get very good FE with this one, because, the real thing is I LOVE american cars, in fact, I have a 1981 Olds Delta88 with a rebuilt 403 and a 1995 S10 Blazer 4.3 auto I was using as DD and killing my wallet.

Less money on gas means more money on parts, AND I LOVE JDM, so I'm more than happy with the lil Honda.

Just how funny the only cars I don't like are the european ones.... I born in the wrong place...

Lots of plan for this little thing in the future.
This Civic is the lower equipment possible.
No A/C, No P/S, No power windows, No central locking, so only 1900lbs.

I'll post a couple of pics when I can.
