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.

#136277 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.

#136326 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
