I was a member on here back several years ago when I had a 91 notchback. No chance of ever finding my old sign in info lol. Anyway picked up this 91 hatch recently and am glad to be back.

Car has edelbrock performer 190 heads/edel intake
3.55's
alum d/s, subframes, upper/lower control arms
lowered/caster camber plates,
full exhaust
17" ROH snipers, Kuhmo rubber
Still trying to work a few bugs out but it feels pretty strong for what it has done to it.

Any suggestions about what do do next? I doubt I would be able to afford a supercharger or anything too expensive as I kick out a harley payment and child support every month. LOL.

Gonna daily drive it. The car has a real nice paint job. Needs a little clearcoat work in a small area that was messed up by sanding too soon.

 

ill advised

Seems like you have a great foundation to start with. I'd say enjoy it for a while and concentrate on tightening up the little things that might need addressing. Visually I'm big on LX's with clean tailpipes (stainless steel) so that would be high on my list.

How about a BBK or MAC cold air intake?
Or maybe a 70mm throttle body/mass air upgrade?

Yeah the CAI is on the list for sure. The car has one of those open elements. I am not big on that. Pretty sure it is pulling in hot air from the engine. It already has a aftermarket TB and MAF just unsure of the details of those parts.

Looks great and I'm digging those ROH's for sure. Agree with it needing a fresh set of stainless tailpipes, maybe a short throw shifter if its a 5spd.

Yeah it has a short throw shifter already. I got it from a guy in Fredericksburg VA. He said that if I drove up to get it (4 hours) and I did not want it he would give me gas $$$. It was worth the drive. Overall I am happy so far.

I'd spend a little extra and get the Anderson powerpipe, a lot nicer looking IMO
