Re: 1st car need help
The seat belt doesnt go in and out? Is it automatic belts? If so somethings buggered in the track , cheap to fix. Lemme know if its the auto belt desighn.
Want some extra jam huh , cam shafts and intake exhaust work make a huge difference and is affordable. If you choose the cams , you may or may not need a fuel pump upgrade or better injectors. Hope that helps.

Re: 1st car need help
The 1.9 was a dog. Swap it out for a 2.0L SPI...better hp and torque. the 2.0 can be turbo'd to make 200hp if done right (talk to Jeffescortlx about a turbo on that engine)

Yeah It is the auto belt design. I learned a lot more since I first bought my car. The cable that pulled the belt back was broken so I just pulled the buckle down and left it. I took out the original air filter and put a high flow cone filter on the stock airhose with a M.A.F. adapter. I took out the resister chip that I had because it was slowing me down at high RPM's. Now with just those little improvements my car beats an automatic ZX2 . not the escort ZX2 but a new ZX2. and I raced an Escort GT the other day and stayed dead even with him. Even after my shitty start. I'm not thinking about an engine swap. Everything under my hood is new exept for my alternator. I have another problem though. When I take off fast there is a kind of squeaking noise from the wheels.
It sounds Kinda like when you need new brake padsbut not exactly the same. A friend of mine said it could be the joints. But he didn't say which joints. Civic or U or what? Can someone help? Thanx
