Some Advice
Hey guys i havent been on this forum in a while!
well let me cut to the chase.
Her name is Euphoria . 1991 Accord, runs like it was off the lot back in 91'
Only problems:
1.Radiator Leak
2.Fuel Gauge Not moving?
3.Weathering is making the body look nasty :/
4.Im getting a leak through the driver seat by the pedals any where in particular i should look for the leak?
5.and most importantly idk what i should do to make it last longer and stronger performance. I want to learn how to change some parts and hell maybe even make this your typical JDM car. If you can , any suggestions on my first few issues and what I should start looking into to make it have a higher performance i want this to be a Fuel Effecient , awsome performing car.
Thanks!
FYI , the bumpers have suffered really bad weathering conditions and way to bring it back black and clean? looks like it came outa a sewer now

The radiator is the most important thing to fix in your list. Make sure the radiator is full before you drive the car. I would rent a radiator pressure tester and put about 15 psi on the radiator. You should be able to locate the leak.
For the water leak, you will probably have to use a hose on the car to isolate the leak. I would around the windshield.
As for the weatherstripping and the bumper, if they are plastic or rubber, I would try aerospace 303. It is used for boats, but is like armor-all, so it lasts longer.
I would just keep up the maintenance. Modifying a 21 year old car will cost more than the car is worth.

Have a '92, your car looks clean.
To build on ^^^ minimalist approach - for the gas guage.
My car consistently gets almost 30 mpg (5 spd = 500 miles/tank at the end) so just reset your trip mile counter on each fill;
refill every 325 miles and you won't run out of gas.
agree.

Only to add the the good advise already given....
3- best wash and wax you can do
4-maybe from the windshield, lower part might not be sealed properly.
5- reg maint stuff.....tune up (cap, rotor, plugs, inspect wires,ect), fluid changes (trans, coolant, oil, ps, brake)....btw the last two I listed seem a bit low - based upon the pic and my bad eyes.
