$500 Civic: Will It EVER Drive Without Breaking Down?

I Spent $2,000 on a $500 Turbo Civic — and It Still Keeps Breaking
Abandoned Turbo Honda Civic • Part 2

In Part 1, I bought this abandoned turbo Civic for just $500 and got it running.
If you haven’t seen it yet — watch here: https://youtu.be/AdtOo2a0wIk

In Part 2, I'm trying to fix endless problems just to make this car driveable.
I solved rear brake issues, installed new coilovers and suspension parts, tackled electrical issues, replaced the distributor, fixed an oil leak… but there’s still a long road ahead.

⚠️ The issues aren't over yet — here’s what still needs fixing in future episodes:
– Fuel shortage under boost
– Needs new fuel pump, bigger injectors, and Hondata
– Speedometer doesn’t work
– Bodywork still unfinished

But I’m not giving up.
