back on about this imaginary someone who bought a Civic VX. Its also got super light weight factory wheels that don't look bad either. Unless some dork replaced em with DubZ...
Totally stock, right down to the wheels, although they no longer have a red H, its more of a faint pink now...
The more I learn about this car the more it becomes a good find. The previous owner was a Mech. Engineer who documented everything and pedantically followed the factory maintenance schedules. Immaculate maintenance. Timing belts every 100k, oil changes at exactly every 6000km or 6 months... he even regreased the CV's and gave them new boots *pre-emptively* who the hell does that!
hell the guy even documented when he switched from winters to summers every year...
Its really beaten up outside, it was used as a work car to drive around to various lumber mills across Bc and the yukon, so it's a highway car and has 360xxxkms on it. So many miles in fact that the paint is a very different shade of white under the front plate, but under the hood and inside it looks like it belonged to Grandma.
I also understand now why people enjoy hondas so much (this generation of civic at least) it has very direct steering (manual), its very confidence inspiring in the bends even on 175 section long-life Michelin's
Yesterday I filled the tank (all 38L) and drove to mission and back via number 7, drove around burnaby today in rush hour. 170km into the tank, it still hasn't moved off full. If I hadn't seen it go up I would think the gauge is broken.
That said, its just a commuter for a few months while I get the Der V8 together.
It also has a very noisy input shaft bearing, only reason it was cheap enough to justify using it for a few months.
Anyone got a spare D series trans?
