Hooraaaaaay beer.....ok sorry

Anyway...car has no heat, all that was taken out before I bought it. There's a smaller aftermarket fan which was set up with a temp switch to kick on at 170 by the previous owner. We're going to hook it up to a manual switch this weekend anyway. Going to get a new thermostat as well. Ummmm the car has to be warmed up to run better because a bunch of emissions gimmicks were taken out. I thought having to warm my Crx up before driving it was bad, now I own 2 of them!!! Tonight I let the car sit long enough to clean my windshield at the gas station and it was 2 notches below HOT, I started driving and it was fine every since. Off topic of temp, but I'm noticing 1st gear in this car is awesome, then in every other gear til about 4k, it's almost missing out a bit, just doesn't have 100% power. Sadly, my Crx does the same thing
