yank that AT out of there, other than that, clean fastback.

[Cone Junky]

Looks clean. Now you just need to remove that lower pinstripe and fix your broken headlights...

[Cory_Marshall]

VERY clean 1990.

It's nice to see one in that shape. The motor even looks very clean.

Their is a FEW 1990's in my town and ALL of them are in totally crappy shape, rotted to hell and they all have those SUPER ugly stock rims on them..

haha thanks, except I like them that way. it's sleepy sometimes

[sharkerio_coupe]

nice!!! very nice. I just bought a 90 hatch as well. It's black n kinda busted. Previous owner did some wackness to it! Motor had all this yellow tubing on it, and spray paint!!! runs healthy tho...Also painted interior panels blue! wtf!! didn't even do a good job, time well waisted. and last...they put fake hood scoops! ripped em off right away. I have vision tho, i see the potential.

Urs is clean man!

[mmaxeyjr]

haha yah i got lucky and an older lady had mine before me. only thing was she had a dog so there was dog hair in the interior. and now it kinda smells. but fabric stuff like febreeze should fix it..

heres a wanted list:

Wire tuckmore Grounding wiresFront lipSprings or Coilovers5 Speed Swap (w/ short throw)Intake / exhaustWheels (extended wheel studs)Fog lightsTinted windowsstereo system - i just need door speakers..

its true most are beat to hell, this makes me miss mine. my piggy hatch was super clean and only had 20k on the motor. i vote for putting a chuki bumper on someday

[mmaxeyjr]

yah i like the piggy look better than chuki though wc are you going to be at sonic today?

[White Comet]

^ i dont know, is there something going down today?

[mmaxeyjr]

yah there was supposed to be a tristate tuners meet at sonic. I didn't get to go though...

[White Comet]

oh well, i missed it too. i didnt even hear about it

[mmaxeyjr]

I have a question. In the state of Pa, is it legal to make your tailights completely black? I want to use dark spraypaint or 5% nightshade and tint my tail lights.

[fourLUG_hero]

Yeah if I could find the lip for an affordable price i'd definately go for it and put it on right away. If anyone knows where or who I can get one let me know

I got one for sale. 50 bucks. Has a couple cracks that can be fixed with body filler/fiberglass.

It's got a good inspection until May 2009.

I want it to look like this. What do you think?

Dude! Isn't that the ebay piggy we made fun of last week? If it is, its not bad looking but it was overpriced w/ sunk wheels and was being advertised as a showcar...

[mmaxeyjr]

yah I found it on ebay, idk if it is that specific one, but I like the tint. I don't like the wing, or anything else though haha.

I just think tails completely blacked out like that look pretty sweet on a red hatchback idk if I want to do it or not though...

Also i'm in need of a complete radiator flush, BADLY! What's the best way to do it on these cars? Is there a screw or knob that I break loose and the fluid automatically drains out?

Also is there more than 1 screw/knob that I have to break loose?

Should I use my hose and run water directly through the radiator so it cleans it out?

Do I have to jack up the car?

Thanks a lot!

Best way to do it on your own is to go to your local autoparts store and pick up a coolant flush kit. Follow the instructions on it.There should be a screw on the drivers side of the block somewhere under the exhaust manifold, and then there's a plastic screw on the bottom of the radiator...watch out not to strip it, I almost have mine stripped so I have to be careful.

When you're draining, make sure your radiator cap is off, and I'd also disconnect the bottom radiator hose too...it just makes hte job easier.
