Just picked up another one. Slow motion build thread/questions

[morbid]

Amazing its so clean how much did you get it for?

It's a secret

Lets just say, if the engines on its way out (still havn't figured why it feels like its low on power) then I payed too much, lol.

Picked up a nice '93 hatch the other day. I've had a kouki, two coupes, and now a hatch. All I need now to complete the colection is a zenki... and an s15

First thing I'm trying to do is get a new hatch. Do I have to get one with a wiper? It has a wiper now so can I just throw a wiperless hatch on there without any problems? I'd rather not have one.

Also, can someone tell me from looking at the engine bay if I have ABS/Hicas, or tell me how I can check?

Last question. For some reason the engine feels slugish to me. It feels like it's struggling in first and second and then 3rd up it feels a little better but still feels like its straining. The power delivery also feels pretty "jumpy" at WOT when I start getting in 3k+ RPM's. Has 160k on the clock and the engine seems healthy. Idles fine, hasn't made any wierd noises ... yet. Just feels like it's not making as much power as it should. Maybe it's just because I'm used to a gutted basemodel coupe and this has power windows&roof, but I doubt it.

nice pickup!
