Looks good actually. I've always said regardless of what the car/truck is, you always need to take care of the DD or you could be spending on it rather than the weekend car.

Clean Civic! Looks just like my friend's girlfriend's car. I always thought that the EG Civic Si had the B16.

Very clean daily driver.
Those 5 spd D16's are fun as hell. My brother has a del sol with that motor, and it's a blast. Of course it's not the z28, but driving it all week for 15 bucks is a nice change of pace.

I've thought about getting an EK Si for a while but since I'm 6'6" I'll probably never get one!

Well I do 1000km a week, and although I was getting close to 30MPG on the TA (all highway), its already got 333,000KM and gas prices were getting crazy, plus Im going to dominican in Sept. So I got it out of winter hibernation and used it all Summer. I must say, its ACTUALLY fun. Sunroof, sporty gearing and the massive 130HP VTEC 1.6 can make you smile, its no Trans-Am but its sporty feeling. Now this car was owned by 2 Honda class A techs at my dealership before I bought it, so its all OEM and all A1. After valve adjustment, plugs, tbelt/waterpump and new air filter, oh and my freebe Header best Ive gotten was :

714Km on 35L = 47.999MPG

It is a 45L tank, so in theroy I could be getting close to 900 before I was on side of the highway. Which for a 350,000 petrol engine is pretty damn impressive. Stand back TDIs!
