Walked into garage, looked at it and walked out.
On an actual note, I went out to finish rebuilidng my calipers only to find that the pistons are gone.

It's spot welded on, it doesn't come off easily.

Ill deal with the propped hoods, its when they notch em out and let the engine show through the hole that i draw the line.

I never even drove the year this year, at all It's been in storage in a different city, somewhere safe. Last summer was kind of a write off for me too, all i did was work 60 hours a week and had no life.
I think i will use this Sept to really try and finish off the car. Install the new engine and tranny, readjust the rear of my suspension and bring it up a little to improve ride quality, plus drop it off at the body shop to refinish a new oem rear bumper and install a matching rear accessory lip (was tough to find, but glad i did)

It's too bad she'll be right back into storage for winter.
It's good you have a place to keep it safe during the winter!!
You're not the only one though. This summer was supposed to "big" summer for my civic. I did nothing.

- checked for valve movements if any loose ones and none.
- checked for valve clearance and they are within spec.
-Took out the exhaust manifold all the way to CAT converter to check if any clogged. (The spring bolts were pain to put back in...)

Re: *** Official What You did to your eg/ek today ***
I just had my spark plugs and oil changed in my converted d15B engine.
I just had it fully synthetic and replaced my old NGK spark plugs with a platinum one.
I also had my timing belt and aircon belt replaced.
My car is a 97 VTi 4 door sedan going on her 110k+ run.
