Just got a 99' LX 4D 5SPD Civic. Now what?
90K on it, a little dent on the left side. No rear view mirror (left)
But other than that it's pretty clean. I'm learning how to drive it currently since it's my first manual tranny.
It's got an ugly red paint on it right now, it's not even red - it's more of a maroon. I'm thinking of painting it black first. Now I need to work around that. Any suggestions of making a nice looking black (main color) red (secondary/rims?/inside lights?)
I am also looking at a possible exhaust, intake, and far down the road an engine swap.
So as of now I'm making a list of what needs to be done and in what order and how much all is going to cost.
Thanks for any helpful tips and or suggestions!

Replace the mirror first since safety's key when driving, then worry about engine mods.
In your case, since you're just learning to drive a manual, you might want to concentrate on mastering the basics of shifting before you add any more power to your car.

Yeah, good point. I think I might focus on looks first. Making it look nice.
Anyways, this seems like a pretty decent forum for Hondas
