Not really anything to do to it but to do your own tune ups if you want to learn how to wrench. After that you can save up for a swap, preferably something with a manual transmission.

It had 1 owner, and she hardly ever drove it, gave it to her son, who only drove it to college and now wants to lease a new car.

That's a good deal for a 95 with only 49k on it, if you don't mind how much did you pay for the car?

i hope you are kidding.


1. keep it clean and safe
2. keep up with the regular maintenance
3. add a cd player and some speakers or something, they more enjoyable it is to drive the more you will love it
4. lower it
5. after you have read around a little and you've learned how to use some tools convert it to manual

speedooo is right
i like this car it is extremely clean looking

IMHO
i would buy a nice set of alloys for it and put it on a conservative drop to start with.
repaint the valve cover its a good intro project (not hard) and lets u see what under it.

and EtErNaL_dReAm i can't believe u would waste one of your limited posted on junk like that.

you reference my sister in another thread an im kicking your ***!

dude expletive ya first car is an Ej1 coupe

i love those things man, what sold me when i was 16 is the door handle, the stock seats and where the rear of the trunk was just loved the body style.

also loved the suspension, you got a leg up on those 01-07 honda guys........double wishbone suspension versus the macpherson struts they have now

also you're a good 500 lbs lighter.........i say keep that thing until it blows up swap and keep driving it LOL im 21 i still have my frost white 93 civic coupe&lt;-- k series now (as well as many other cars)
