Car has about 170k miles and still going strong. the interior of this car looks brand new in fact I just changed the drivers seat fabric yesterday because it developed a rip in the seam, amazingly, I ordered this expensive item from bernardy Honda, labeled as vintage parts and entered my vin and they sent the exact pattern as the car, I was so pleased, I have never seen my pattern...over the years I have kept on everything from exhaust replacements, to suspension, steering, clutch and even had to replace the cluster a few years ago because the speedo stopped working...many things I cant even remember, but I will say this, I will only get rid of this car when the chassis breaks in half...I came here today because I was fed up with the climate control system operating backwards from day one and I found some info, and built on it and posted the detailed fix on every Honda civic forum. Thanks for allowing me in so swiftly happy motoring!
ps: my car is completely stock and unmolested in any shape fashion or form and still drives perfectly...
