im not sure, i haven't purchased the car yet, i just know its going to need either a new engine, not actually new prolly rebuilt, or for the engine in it to be rebuild.

I have a mechanic I know that would probably change the engine for me with a little money, but i need to know where to look for engines, and what engine would be the best bang for not too much buck.

first you need to find out what the engine code is. is it a bseries or dseries.. if we dont have the info we cant really do much..

haha. yup. the motor in that thing is bunk.. and yes you would need trannt to.. otherwise you would need to rebuild you 1.3. they are not inerchangable. b series to bseries- dseries to dseries.

how would a 94 hatch in or around baton rouge have a 1.3? they never had the 1.3 in the states, chances are its a d15b7
