New Civic & Driver here

djgizmo · 11-13-2005, 02:25 AM

hi, new guy on the block. Don't have much of a race car, but I love honda's. (last one lasted me 220k miles before I sold it)

Anyways, got the basic '99 Civic, most of it stock minus the main exhaust / muffler (done by the previous owner) & D series engine, and stock everything else.

I've always been interested in cars, just imports not domestic (due to the longevity, based on personal experience)

Looking to upgrade the car and keep it as my daily driver.

I dj on the weekends and work full time etc etc. Feel free to hit me up anytime!

Honda's last if you take care of them.
You might very well hold the record there.

welcome man.

djgizmo · 11-16-2005, 08:59 PM

Thanks for the welcome. Nah, not a record. Just really enjoyed my civic. I just kept up on the maintenance and Zmaxed it every 6 months. Probably could have pushed it till 260 - 300k, but by then the body would have fallen apart.

true.very true.the motor almost out lasts the body on those things

Yea, the suspension needed about $300-$500 worth of repairs. Figured it was only worth $1000 anyways max. Sold it for $800 after I bought my 99 Ex

Interesting how we look at a car's value. I drive a car forever, until
I can't replace worn things anymore (or until it gets totaled).
I never think about selling, and a cars resale value.
Example:
My 69 Nova has over 440,000 miles, has bunches of mods and
upgrades, and handles like a race car. It is worth more to *ME*
than it's worth to anyone else.-Bob
