New to me 98 Civic HX
I had a 98 EX auto 2.5 years ago and loved it. I have a build thread on here somewhere for it, but I couldn't deal with the automatic transmission. I sold it for a huge profit and purchased an Accord 6-6. That's my toy, and I won't subject it to work (construction) or NY's harsh winters. I really love the EJ body style, and how easy it is to work on them. I found this one with 185k on the clock all original 2 owner car from NC. The car was never in an accident, but it was backed into by a Fed ex truck requiring a new bumper, headlight, and fender (fixed before purchase) I paid $1800 for it, but have done some extensive maintenance on it.
-4 new tires
-Front brake pads and rotors
-New oil dipstick (old one was broken)
-2 new motor mounts
-Trans mount
-Clutch slave cylinder
-OEM plugs,cap,rotor
-NGK wires
-Air and fuel filter
-Multiple oil changes with Mobil 1 Extended performance 5w30 and AO1 oil filter
-Random bulbs that were out
-ALL FLUIDS replaced
-Washer fluid pump
-Wipers
-Both axles
I love it, it's my daily driver and gets 40mpg with mixed driving. I don't baby it either. Everything on it works except the radio is shitty. I've also detailed it fully, and painted the calipers and stock exhaust to hide it. I plan on keeping it clean, and maintaining it well. If I ever get sick of modding the Accord, I may do a swap in this. It now has 200k. Overall I'm very happy with my current setup for a DD and Toy.
