Sweet. Throw a new valve cover on it and post it in the right forum.

Not trying to be mean or anything, but there is another forum on Honda-Tech that would probably have more and better information on the year civic you bought.

Btw, congrats on the purchase.

Honda-tech is subdivided into forums that are specific for different models and different years. This is the 2006 and above for civics. The links that we provided for you is for civics from 1992-2000, which includes your car. They will be more help to you than in here.

well considering its his first car, he wasnt an avid honda enthusiast. thats not horrible for the money as long as everything runs right. A nice set of lowering springs and some cleaning supplies will be your new friends.
consider ditching those heavy 17" wheels for some 15" stock honda wheels.
good luck youngster.
