Morning all. Well I finally found a cheap, beater Civic. Has aftermarket cold air intake, and coilovers (forgot what type). It does have some problems, mainly little things like radio is jacked up, and the driver side window doesnt go up and down fllush (Fell off track I guess. Currently reviewing the DIY fix). Also the transmission has a bit of grinding when shifting. When I pull the hood release lever, plastic piece of s*** snapped off. I can still pull the metal knob though.
But, this car is fun as f***! Not to mention insane MPG compared to my german Panzer (Benz ML430, literally 7mpg city). This is my first manual car, and even though its a beater and no where near as luxurious as my Benz, this car has character : P I plan on driving this baby til the wheels fall off (hopefully nowhere near soon). Now, lets talk aftermarket!
Probably in a few months i'll have a new transmission installed, mainly because I'm still learning to drive manual proficient and don't want to destroy a new transmission. Also going to have a new sound system installed. Omg I get so excited talking about this car! I have never had this much fun driving. Well, i'm off to post some questions in other sections. Cheers!
