95 EX coupe, and yes, stock engine. I'm not sure if the engine is original or not - I helped my friend buy it 5 years ago with 78k and he never did any major work to it.

Still doesn't burn a drop of oil between oil changes and still gets 32+ MPG :D

hehe I got this civic for $200, in severe need of TLC. Needed a clutch, tie rods, CV joints, tires (wound up getting wheels too), and a shitload of cleaning. Hadn't been washed in over a year.

$500 for wheels/tires (yes i know it needs to be lowered), $170 for catback 2.25" exhaust, $15 on corner lights, $35 for a clutch disc, $60 for a tie rod, $35 for an alignment, and a hell of a lot of cleaning up. After all this, I have...

yeah, i had the frame checked by the alignment shop (they specialize in frame work), they said if anybody's worked on the frame they did a damn good job. I figured even if the frame was toast I could part it out and make at least 300-500 profit. I definately need to line the hood, bumper, and lights up - the hood sits kinda funny and the lights don't quite line up right, but I figure 1-2 hours of work should have that all fixed since the chassis and radiator support are straight. Just sloppy work when it was repainted.

I'm going to rent a compression tester soon, but I fully expect it'll be within 5% of a new engine.

... vtech? You have a cordless phone in your car?

and "140,000 thousand" is 140,000,000. Somehow I doubt your car has 140 million miles

I just picked up a 94 ex coupe with 196,000 on it. The car runs like a ******* champ. It runs like it has 50 miles on it. Got it for $150.
