Hi everyone, the name is Kyle, living in the Chicago Suburbs.
I just joined the 3g world in november when I got my 1986 Lxi Hatchback.
Picked it up for $1,000, its a 5-speed FI,and had 1008xx when i got it.
Previous owner said it was in a rear end collision and the hatch was replaced, it was a DX hatch so I didnt know it was a Lxi until I was looking around the fuses inside and saw the Lxi info.
Being in Chicago there is the usual rust, but I think it is a good starting point for something nice.
Main problem right now is the heat, and being winter in chicago, its a big one.
I can let it heat up but once i start driving the needle goes right back down.
replaced the thermostat but still no luck, any help would greatly be appreciated.
Some pics, nothing flashy.
