ok i just got back from columbus(thats where it was)... i drove the car for about 15 minutes and i didnt find any problems... no noises whatsoever, and the chassis was as tight as it could be... it rode sooo nice and i cant find anything wrong with the car except some blemishes on the exterior like a lil bit of rust, but thats expected from a 13 yr old car in ohio... the tranny had longer throws than i like but that can be easily fixed... i ran it hard and i got it to spin in first and even chirp in 2nd... woot woot lol... but anyways i bought the car and drove it to my house over 2 hours away without a single hitch and with a big smile on my face the whole time... the car could get me into trouble though b/c the speed kept gettin away from me... one minute id be goin 70 and then id look down and the needle's readin 85... and i never noticed it- thats how solid it rode... i just might keep her after all... lol thanks for all of your help guys and ill keep you posted in the honda forum if you want to see how she does... later
