samdrake123 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 shouldnt you be looking into this.... BEFORE you buy the car? I totally agree. I think now that you already own it, you should be able to find out if it has any problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ms.seyer Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 should have went with the '00 civic ex coup with vtec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 well. I paid 3500 for an integra GSR with 80,000 miles on it and put another 100,000 miles on it before it was stolen. All I did was change the oil, brakes, and tires. It owed me nothing. So Hondas are ok in my book. If its a 5 speed you want to change the timing belt at 80-90K. Expect honda rust over the back wheel wells. If you got it like that get yourself a BMW or a Benz. If you kinda got it but not like THAT get a new domestic. If you broke and you need a car thats going to go and not cost much to fix go honda or toyota. Old Ford, GM, Chrystler they just didn't build them to stay on the road. Probably on purpose too so people would buy new cars. And if you broke dont buy an old Euro hookup. It will break and cost a small fortune to keep on the road.

fishsticks Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 first you need atleast a 4 foot wing that gives you like 45-70hp. then i widest bodykit you can find. adds 80-100hp. then sand it down to primer...and dont paint it. the beezies will jock. no doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishsticks Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 nah for real though. hondas run forever, my homie had an ef hatch with 180,000 miles and still ran great. good luck, and please dont rice it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abcs Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 oh and that accord up there. The blue thing. Fucking terrible. Altho i do kinda like that Civic SI blue they used to put up. Kinda has a vague purple tint to it. Very mild purple in the mix. Iridescent blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalashnikov Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 There are rubber strips in the back wheel wells, which will eventually cause your car to rust if you leave them there because they hold in salt & moisture, assuming you live in a climate that actually has winter. Peel that shit off. Other than that, make sure timing belt has been done, and you're good to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaten By Wolves Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 no rice, don't worry cause its a fucking accord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shai Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Add a jar of that weird air freshener for another 20 hp and throw in some Hello Kitty seat belt pads...you'll be pulling 12 second quarter miles in no time flat. They're good cars if you take care of them. My friend has owned three used Hondas over the last 15 years, she swears by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MomentIsNow Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Aha, the blue thing. I'm tired of people on my block doing that shit to their cars. Everytime I drive by they give me the "Your car is shit" look when they clearly have a terrible fucking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
