New 90' civic

Well, I just bought a 1990 civic 4 door, I haven't really got to drive it much but I can tell it needs new back brakes. Well if someone doesn't care to tell me how to post pics I'll post some pics later. Oh yeah, this car has 150,000 miles on it and I scooped it up for $1,000. Yay, what a steal!

oh yeah i meant to ask for anything i should look for? as far as past maintinence?

make sure it has a new timing belt... General service new plugs, filters oil, coolant...

just general little thing like that..

timing belt is not a LITTLE thing

might want to check for ECU codes.

how do you check for ECU codes?

pull up the carpeting on the passengerside on the forward most part that is angled. you will see the gold colored ECU with the LED light on it. it will flash a specific number of times before pausing a few extra seconds and flashing that same number of times again. if there are multiple codes it will flash one number of times, pause, then the other number of times, pause, etc... you can look up ECU codes in most repair/shop manuals.
