So this summer im going to be getting serious into modifications on my N/A 13b it has 140,000 miles should i Invest in a new motor? If I take pictures of the frame can you guys tell me if its even worth to put a new motor in or spend time and money on? Also idk if my car has powersteering or not but I would like to know where it is located because if so I would like to remove it because it doesn't feel like it has it anyway any help will be appreciated thank you in advance

 

Not to be a jackass, but how are you going to get into serious modification of the car if you can't identify whether it has power steering or not?

At any rate, a power steering car will have the power steering pump mounted to the driver side of the engine at the top of a large bracket. There is a fluid reservoir at the top of the pump and lines that lead from the pump to the steering rack. There is a loop of hard line at the front of the car on the round crossmember in front of the rad which cools the power steering fluid.

Whether you invest in a new engine depends on the current condition of your old one. Since you mention serious modification, it stands to reason you will be opening the engine for porting. At that point you can make a judgement whether or not the internals are in acceptable condition.

 

Umm okay I got another question just now when I was driving my car started doing something weird everytime I depress the clutch also when its released it makes a hard thump and everything shakes then drives fine
