Hey everybody, just thought I should introduce myself and my newest project to the forum. Oh and I apologize in advance for all the unnecessary punctuation I'll probably be using in posts, Im an English Education major. On the car, its an 1988 Civic EF hatchback with 240k. It has the original d15 with 4 speed transmission and somehow.. even though its obviously been beaten.. and owned by at least a handful of people who had no idea how to work on cars.. and been in at least a few accidents.. it runs amazing. I bought the car in hopes that things will break and cease to work so I can finally get some hands on automotive experience.. my daily driver is an Civic coupe that never needs maintenance. So i'm sure ill be needing some advice, guidance and input throughout my ownership and modification of this car.. in short I guess you could say im looking forward to becoming part of this forum family!
