Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news.
I sold my civic couple days ago. Was running great but my knee wasnt up to the task of the clutch anymore.
Got my hands on a 98 Grand Prix GTP. Has rod knock but snagged a complete motor with 90 day warranty for $700. I'll yank the block apart and see if salvageable. If so I'll build it up when I rebuild it.
The Civic was fun but I had some reasons I needed to get rid of it. The GTP is way more practical, automatic, far more luxurious and I got it for a steel.
Anywho this will be my last post in this. Thanks for all the views, advice and support.
