I bought this car from a Title Pawn Shop, A.K.A. My
Dealership. For the asking price of $1500 I knew they had to be some
issues to make it dependable and road worthy. The engine was said to be replaced
with a low(er) mileage engine along with a new clutch. I got the key to start
it up and the battery was dead so we got a booster pack and it fired right
up. Had to pump the clutch pedal 'cause of air in the system but it drove
like I expected. The air condition wasn't that cool but it was working. The
"Check Engine" light was staying on so my Dealership ran the code
and said that he would buy and replace the 02 sensor. I went back
the next day with the down payment and we made a deal. I got home and after
a while I went to go some where and the car did not start, it only said 'click'.
it seem to have a bad starter. Needless to say this was the last time I parked
a the bottom of a hill. My Dealership said his brother works at a
junkyard and said that he would get me another starter the next day. I went
back and waited on the delivery truck for my starter. I got talking about
the Honda he was working on, manly the cold air package. Before I knew it
he took it off the Honda and hand it me and said Happy Birthday. The intake
tube was way too long but I was willing to take the hack saw to it. Giving
up on the delivery truck to come anytime today it was getting on closing
time. On the way home I stopped at the muffler shop to see how much it cost
to have my new intake tube cut to length. "No Charge". Now to get a longer
rubber hose to run to the valve cover. So I stopped by Auto Zone. They had
one the right size laying on the floor. "No Charge". The only thing left
was to plug a fitting on the side of the tube so I stopped at NAPA for some
type of plug. The parts man came back with a small freeze plug to press in
the hole, "50 cents" he said. Wow!, cold air package for half a dollar.

| I got a friend to add some more R-132a and now the air is cold. The carpet was a mess so I took the pressure washer and shop vac to it. I'm gonna wash it again but next time around I will use some laundry detergent to the mix to see if I can get it a bit cleaner. |
