Bought first civic yesterday. Please help!

I bought a '92 civic hatchback. It has neuspeed full coilovers, msd ignition, tenzo short throw shifter, short ram air intake, catback exhaust, new tires, brand new timing belt, a tach, voltage guage, air/fuel ratio guage, temp guage, new oem headlights and corners with silverstar bulbs, and z3 fenders. It has the d15b7 motor with a 5 speed. It has 180,000 miles on it. runs really good. The outside is a little rough on it though. I paid $1500 for it. Is it a good deal? Also what do I do to t next? Im always looking for more mods. Im a first timer today with this site. Thanks guys

Yea pretty reasonable with all those mods. Honestly u don't need any more mods. Maybe a new motor later on, and body/paint job.

Also post pics here so we can suggest more to u.

Did you check your coolant level? If Not make sure it's properly filled.

Yeah.. great deal... you are only in this car for 1500 bucks. Dont be scared about taking it to a good shop, if it needs it, to get it worked on professionally. Due to the fact you are in this car for only 1500. Get it checked out properly and take care of this car, it will take care of you !!

Well.. you can just drain the radiator... stick the hose in it, and flush it out.. then put back the drain plug, and fill it back up, but that doesnt really get it all out, there is still dirty fluid in the engine itself... they recommend also removing the thermostat to get full cleaning flushing... but you basically have to run the motor while having a hose full blast to clean eveything out... you need somebody to show you, or you can struggle through an entire saturday with a Haynes manual.. its easy after you do it
