You lucked out seriously, pal.































Make sure the timing belt got changed at 60-80K. Probably will need another befpre 150K. Do the water pump with it.































All kinds of forums for Civics and Integras that age. A great tuners car.































Double plus points if you are Asian or Hispanic. Both groups LOVE the Civic (not that I stereotype much).

Its a good car, take care of it and keep it clean. Learn as much as you can about it, buy a Helms or Haynes manual and start doing work on it yourself.































Very fun cars and will last for a long time.
