I think the stock finish looks pretty good with that blue. Maybe clean them up and touch up the stock paint, but I'd keep the color.
Are you doing something to the front suspension now?
It needs new paint job any way. I do like the blue color. I'm thinking to change the axle. Front left one b/c it rattles and repair the right axle boot is torn. it needs left front spring. most probably i'll take the spring from Junk yard. For the axle I bough one on ebay.com for $14 brand new, the guy who was selling it was going out of buisnes.
took the fender out, so i can i can fix it and open the door normal.
took the under fender as well and you can see some rust pop out. that sucks
Head light was really bad and rusty, took that as well. i got from J/Y one like new and it works WOOW
I'm still having problems with the engine going over 2500 RPM. In parking no promles at all. Once on the road it suck big time. i think it is something with the air flow, to lean or something, b/c the car only jerks till it goes to over 2500 RPM.

trying to fix the idle Sensor if that helps to fix the jerking. took some parts from J/Y today. this little part expands when the cooling temperature rise. i'll see tomorrow when i instal it
That little idle control tring is working fine, i did by pass it by putting a plate on the back blocking the idle control and the symptoms are still there
I took out this electrical sensor on the intake manifold, any ideas how it works?
i have 87 manuel and this car is 88, the manuel does not cover this sensor, some kind of dash thing which mine car does't have. Any ideas how this sensor on the picture works?
that thing you have there is a idle air xcontrol, basically adjusts the idle airflow to keep your cars idle rpm at 750 or so, as for the dashpot thing i dont think your lxi will have it as its automatic
Nice thread. Man you are making some good progress
Welcome i suppose.
Get on the bandwagon with twoloud and you can have the engine in that civic in your 3gee. Im pulling the engine and tranny all all that shit out of my car to do my bswap so of you need anyparts. let me know. i dont have any induction parts cos mine was a carbed model but i could sell you the tranny and clutch cable so you can do a 5 speed swap. If you need a head i have a rebuilt one.
88 DX hatch.
idle is OK, only when the RPM goes over 2500 and when it downshifts it jerks
bad. I thing it gets lean gas or too much air in the engine. I did bypass by blocking both sensors and it still have the same symptoms.
Thanks man, alot of hard work going there to make it work properly, the car is for my girl....Nice thread. Man you are making some good progress
