After 2 years of searching for the right project, I finally found the one for me; a 1996 DX Hatchback
I’ve only had it for about 2 weeks and have only driven it a handful of times since there’s still some things that need to be sorted before it’s street legal, BUT I had a couple of questions to ask the lovely folks here..
Where is the best place to find quality replacement parts? Such as bumpers, light assemblies, etc?
I have to ask because I bought a pair of 99-00 tail lights from ebay and like I expected, the fitment is absolutely pitiful.
I’ve been scouring FB marketplace and craigslist for extra parts but I figure there’s gotta be somewhere better.
Also, the gas pedal has this “notch” feeling where there’s a small portion of the travel where nothing happens, then you hit the notch, and after the notch, gas is finally applied. It’s not terrible but with a manual, its not easy to drive smoothly.
I did a lot of 3am googling to see that this is a common issue but so many of the threads I saw were 10-15 years old and I’m curious to know if there’s a “best way” to solve this problem, given its now 2022 lol.
And lastly, being a DX trim, I have no tachometer. I went to 6 different junkyards in my area and could not find a manual instrument cluster with a tach, so I just caved and grabbed an EX’s auto cluster.
Are the RPMs displayed going to be accurate for my y7, considering the car I got the cluster from is the y8 engine? Also it won’t matter that it’s an auto cluster right?
Anyways, thanks so much for reading and m any help is massively appreciated!
