I sold my daily driver Civic DX coupe, got 39 mpg(mostly freeway)


I wanted a 4dr since they are so inexpensive compared to hb or coupe. My goal is to build a daily driver(i drive 100 miles roundtrip) that got 27-30mpg, and capable of busting 12 sec timeslips. I bought the Civic LX for $2400, it had ebay suspension, stur bars, and 99 gsr blades. 247k miles.


the car had krylon painted front lip and side skirts. The front bumper was chipping/peeling.



The very next day i got it, I started cleaning it up. Painted front bumper Frost white and paint fron lip Black




all painted, front hood has dents due to people pressing down on hood to close hood

side skirts still need to be painted black


painted black skirts

After 1 week of commute, I smelled coolant a opened hood and seen a leak coming for heater core hose, replaced it, few days later I decided to retire the LX 247k motor(still ran strong), just wanted more power.
