Just got my first caR!! Yea baby!!!
Hello all I am proud to say that i've finally got my first car, after months of waiting for a good deal 
I found an sc400 this guy was asking 5500 or 6500 for, and paid around 4000 for it (plus a couple hundred 
) I have yet to take pics, and i got what i paid for. its fully loaded, 1993, tan interior. seats are mint condition, drivers panel could definitely use replacing, as well as ebrake handle/cover thing.. so after i filled her up with sum juice 
i took her for a spin. glad to say she ripped it down the main street like no tomorrrow 
the cons are:
-the airbag sensor light is on,
-the coolant light was on, but prefilled coolant solved that
-the check engine light came on shortly after, probably needs a tuneup,
-and the speaker sounds like someone is smacking the window really sharply, only one speaker, when i blast tunes..
so a few nights later, took a left a little faster than usual and after straightening her out, some *ritaard* decided to speed up, skidded into the rear right side, causing it to spin out and the whole left slammed into the curb
. So about a month later, i finally got it towed to my place last night, and though i have been lurking on here for the past couple weeks, now that i have my car back i think its time i showed myself 
so today, i just raised up the car and looks like the stabilizer arm is snapped, the cv is shot fully, axle looks fine though *phew* and driveshaft as well as differential. the stupid dealership idiots here left my lights on, wipers on, interior lights on, and my radio antenna is f****d 
plus no sound will come on my radio
last night i got my buddy's 1.5L 4-cyl civic to jump me lol and it worked fine! but today i tried my other friend 01 civic to jump me, and nothing. not even a crank. the lights are working and stuff, but maybe its the fuse or starter? and guess what, i totally drained his battery too!
and the dealerships asking roughly 5000 in parts!
anyways, i found parts on mylexparts.com for about 1790 plus shipping. or my buddy may use his school discount from napa at cost and get them from there 
another question is, where could i get an obd1 scanner to read my codes?
so yea!
