Just joined the site after buying our second Civic. We bought a new 2000 EX 5spd back in the Spring of 2000. Was a nice car and after adding some 17" TSW wheels it was pretty sharp. Sold it in 2003 when we bought a Mustang GT.

We are now back in Civic ownership after I bought one from a Police auction. It is a 1996 EX auto with only 159k on it. Sat for 2.5 years and after some fresh gas and use of a jump box it fired right up! Has the usual floating idle after warming up...which is what brought me to this site. Some minor body damage that I will be fixing, going to wrap the hood due to the peeling clear coat, and few other odds and ends and she will be a great little run around car.

Come spring time I have been thinking of maybe doing a build with it. I know you can make these things stupid fast with motor swaps and turbos. All my experience is with Mustang V8's, so it will be something entirely new. I know the first thing will be swapping out the slush box for a 5spd. Going to avoid the fart pipe...God I hate those things...and do it right if I do it. Car will be gutted and maybe used for some Auto X. Use to that in a couple 73's 240Z's my father and I had back in the '90s.

So that is me and the car in a nutshell. I added pics of the car from the auction site. Thing was pretty nasty from sitting outside so long. I am almost done with the interior clean up and will hit the exterior later this week.
