Does this mean, the engine was running to lean/ hot, or are these just severly worn?

They are from a 2.0L non turbo dohc engine.

 

I would say replace them with properly gapped ones. Hey do you drive that Black EK? Where in Kenosha do you live? I'm currently moving to 1610 62nd st.
Yeah I know Ghetto.

well, yeah, i know replace them... and they have been replaced since then.
I just wanted to know what that means when the plugs get like that.... they had been in that car for a while.


Yeah, that's my car and i'm in kenosha. When do i live?

I'm around.

 

I think that's caused by running lean. If you ever need the hook-up at the south side Infusino's stop by and ask for Dave (or Disco) and tell me what you want . I knew what that car had the first day I heard it and everyone was telling me it ain't got *****. Little did they know I'm obsessed with Honda's and just can tell what's done to them when they roll by. I get ***** from a guy I work with telling me I don't know anything. Sorry, but I hate this town. People always breaking into my house.

 

No ****? people are breakin in to your house? That blows big time.

People are always tryin to steal from my car...

I've quite a few more things lined up for my car, that need to be done.. Namely , EXHAUST... mine sounds like *** right now...i'm gonna be changing mufflers and adding a 'resonator' to quiet it down.

 

I personally liked that low gurgling sound I heard from it. Are you going turbo? If so I wanna check it out. I leave my '90 out at a friends house in the county so it doesn't get robbed. All the money I have has been going into it for the past year. Now I'm tearing it apart to get it ready for my monster in the making. You'll definately hear and see it when it's done next summer. It's not the best looking but it'll get the job done quite well.

 

detonation! way to lean!!!!! eric

 

Actually, I plan on putting on a Vortech supercharger. I was reading some stuff on it, and the stock kit on a stock GSR motor made 245whp. And that is impressive enough for me. ahhaha

I plan on getting new wheels and tires...( had to sell my kosei's to make some quick money ) change some of the suspension parts, like i said change the exhaust a little as well, put a nice clean simple kit on it like the R33 kit, and then supercharge it.

I wanna keep this car until I'm an old man, so I can drive it around with classic plates and have all the youger ones say, 'Oh MAN! Look! That's a '99 civic!!

 

Damn I've seen plugs with 90,000 hard miles that looked better than that. Are you spraying or boosting or both? Your engine has a serious problem, and dropping new plugs isn't going make that problem go away. Are you throwing cels?

 

i wonder what your pistons look like

 

No that's from my mom's stock Talon motor... (non turbo) has about 100K on the odometer. I dont' think that she changed them in forever.. If you like, NEVER, changed your plugs...could you get them like that??
