Need advice on my 91 hatch
whats good i recently purchased a 91 Civic hatch....when i got it....it was a true eye sore it needed a lot of work....i bought it from a friend for 700 and i have put 1600 more into in a month....the list of parts is long....short shifter, carbon fiber shift knob, 2.5 inch straight pipe right off the headers no cat with greddy titatium muffler, i ripped off the side moldings literally and shaved it, cut out the front grill and put in a mesh, halo angel eyes headlights, black painted center tail light, dropped 3 inches with a coil over kit, gsr rims on it with nippon racing tires, i took every panel off on the inside and painted it all white and red, im keeping the outside very stock looking im not into those large gaudy body kits that dont fit the shape of the car or chrome rims, i want a very clean looking JDM car, I made custom boxes and two 12 in subs with a 1000 watt amp, i put the amp where the spare was and cut a whole in that thin piece of card board and carpet and put plexiglass in place of it with red neon, i have 4 250 watt midrange speakers from clarion and 4 tweeters... with a 1000 watt 4 channel amp...10 speakers in all it blasts...i have red neon under the dash and front seats, i got a OEM replacement radiator that i cant figure out how to put in, i also got a new clutch...the engine is sh*t, the engine bay is dirty as hell and it has 136g on it, im buying my friends B16 from his 2000 civic si, it has DC headers, AEM V2 cold air intake and a throttle body, plan on putting that in soon hes selling it to me for a g and it has 45g on it, i need advice on putting in my radiator and if anyone knows how much its going to be to put in a new clutch, i plan on keeping this car for a long time and eventually dropping a greddy bolt on turbo kit on the new engine..ill have pics of the car up very soon

Re: Need advice on my 91 hatch
1) Why are you bothering with a clutch when you are putting th b16a in n e way?
2) Radiator is a main prob if you want to turbo the b16a. Most times u need to do some modding to move the radiator forward to fit the turbo. I would wait till you have the b16 in before you put the new radiator in because it might pose a bit of a fitting problem.

Re: Need advice on my 91 hatch
The reason im putting in the new clutch is because i have spent a lot of money on other things and im holding off till the summer to drob the b16a in, until then my clutch is completly burnt, its permanatly in neutral, and if its in gear i can let up the clutch completly and the car will not stall out....the kid who had it before me didnt know how to drive manual and i did a brake stand, then started driving up and hill and i was going 40 and i was redlineing 5th gear, lucky i was just down the street from my house and i had to put the blinkers on and let the car roll down my street, so i got a clutch kit off ebay for 100 bucks, relativly cheap and the radiator smokes everytime the car turns on and is leaking all over the place, by the way i just finished putting it in and i forgot about the liquid inside and pulled the plug and got it all over me..i worked in a body shop for 2 years so im not good with the mecanics i just know some basics, ill have pictures of my hatch later on tonight if not tomorrow i just gotta scan them
