Honda Noob Intro.
Alright. I sold my 92 Nissan 240 sx and got myself an 88 hatch. Never owned a Honda before in my life. Still a big Nissan fan, but already in love with a lil gas sipper. It has original 78 000 miles and it sure was a steal. You guys seam to have quite a community here. So here I am. Appologies in advance on future noob questions. And I'll have a lot of those. Plans for Honda? Tint. That's about it. It will get a new interior (factory), because original smells like cat's poop. I'll post pics later.

Many people forget there's a TIME limit, too. 90K miles or 7 years, whichever comes first

Gutted the interior today. I actually bought used seats (front and back) from an 89 hatch. Was really surprised to find out the front seat brackets don't match my floor holes for the bolts. Bizarre!!! Anyway..
While the interior is out, decided to install a kill switch. Still not decided on which to do: fuell pump or ignition or maybe both. Would anybody please redirect me to a write up(if we have any) on how to do kill switches? Thanks in advance guys, and thanks for the welcome!

Relevance is irrelevant
Welcome mang.
I know you'll have fun with the old hatch. I used to love browsing the junk yards to find stuff to put on my 94 Ex. The bolt holes thing doesn't surprise me because there are just SO many models out there. If you like to mismatch stuff like I did I'm sure you'll find yourself going - I think that'll fit perfectly - and then it's not even close.
But it's good wholesome fun. :thumbup:

But it's good wholesome fun. :thumbup:I haven't gotten the the junkyard fever yet, but I've already searched a few. There's going to be no engine swap. I've done so much with that Nissan I had, that I need to chill a lil on the upgrades. Reboot or something. Just sort of take time and see what the car really needs. Tint goes first. 25- no more than that. It's taking me 4 days to clean this thing. It's not that it's dirty, I'ts just that I want it really immaculate inside out. Plus with this few miles - it deserves to be clean.
