Natural gas...Some sort of odd-mobile. Supposed to have some sweet D-series pistons.

Yeah, it came out in the late 90's as a super fuel efficient car. It runs off of natural gas and I think it started off in California as a ULEV vehicle.

Yeah, the GX has been the topic of a few discussions over at dseries.org. The pistons, as mentioned above, supposedly work very well as an OEM replacements.

There's 96-2000 (EK? Right?) and then there's 2001+ civics. The one pictured is a 2001+ car.

My buddy priced them out. I think they were $35/piston somewhere online. I'll try and find out.

i dont think they are forged, but they do bump the compression in a D series and they are a STOCK piston. Same crave LS/VTECers have with CTR pistons.
