bought a 98 coupe about a month ago
it's 12:30 am and i decided i shouldn't be so lazy as to not be a part of the forum.
white and a 5 speed. stock motor D motor, for now. thinking about dumping money into it, but i know it'll get stolen so what's the point.
does anyone's fuel gauge play mind games with them? i feel like i should be getting better mpg...

Re: bought a 98 coupe about a month ago
It feels like I'm getting mid 20s on a d16y8. I'll try again with a full tank and see what happens.
I shift between 3-3.5k rpm. I don't really drive hard too often because of the obvious. D motors leave so much to be desired.
I've changed the plugs and wires, fuel filter, radiator and hoses, engine oil. What else should I change/maintain?

I had the same problem with my new/old 2000 civic. One of the gaskets connecting the manifold to pipe was totally totaled

Re: bought a 98 coupe about a month ago
just had to buy a new dual core radiator. keep it running nicely.
i found a knock sensor on eBay for cheap, but unsure on its reliability. any opinions?
