    4th Gen 1 In 'da House!!

    Damn! I'm running outta room! I just bought another Pro, a '94 LX 5 spd. Needs a little body and paint, interior scrubbed down, right rear window replaced, and a clutch. Engine runs, sounds good except for that ricer exhaust. A/c works too.
    Here's the best part; I got it for $210, from the local police auction.

        while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

              Yes, I'm gonna fix the problems and sell it. The previous owner hacked up the wiring harness, and that is something I don't like dealing with.

                      Ok here's the costs so far;
                      Car----------$210
                      Tow-----------$40
                      Key made----$25
                      Parts--------$140
                      Total--------$415

                      The parts bought w/ the $140; 2 sunvisors, 2 wiper arms, stock LX muffler, the rear reflector on the trunk(that goes from one side to the other, that the license plate is on) OEM lugnuts, some interior light covers, OEM carpet mats, all the glass (2 pieces) for the right rear door and the metal part that the glass slides on. and some other **** I can't remember right now.

                      I still need to get the clutch and the left axle. The idiots that made the key friggin ruined the ignition switch. So I'm gonna have to buy a key set. Probably $250 or more for these 3 items mentioned. Oh yeah, I need to buy a horn pad-$16

                        not bad. i had bought a 90 lx a year ago, for $250. Ran good. No key, windsheild leaked, no ignition, good tires, needed only a headgasket, but ran fine. lil dent in the passenger fender. but other than that it was a good lil car. Sold it for profit a few months back. But there are alot of proteges out there you can get cheap and fix em up very inexpensivly. That why i love the 1st gens!!!

                          Just bought the black dash trim (2 pieces) with clock, a good electric L/H mirror, and a complete key set including the ignition-paid $45 for everything. Also got a new horn pad for $16. So lets see, I'm up to ~$528?
