Cyrem Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 My car doesn't seem to die, it just keeps on going and going and going. I've had it for 4 years, in the time I've only had the radiator checked for leaks, got a new battery replaced a light(hit a kangaroo, which put a crack in my bumper but it's not that visible). One thing I know that needs replacing is the ball joints, but not really an issue. I'm currently saving for a new car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cirevam Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I have a '91 Civic, named Arnie. I've owned it for about three years now. I've replaced the exhaust, replaced a headlight and a taillight, put a passenger-side mirror on, replaced a front bumper bracket, swapped out the steel wheels for some aluminum ones with tires that don't handle like crap in the rain, and just over the summer I replaced a burnt valve with my dad as part of my birthday and Christmas presents. That was the biggest repair we've done since we had to take the head off, but it's already paying off. Arnie used to only get 23 mpg on the highway, but now it gets at least 27. I haven't filled up the tank again yet to confirm the real value, but it's easy math since it's a 10 gallon tank. Next year I'm going to find a short ram intake and whenever my dad gets a new Sprinter I'll take the turbocharger out of the old one and put it in my car. Eventually I'll probably put in a manual transmission and turn it into a drag car. I've seen some Civics get low 9's, so they're pretty good.

Aki Dazrold Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 (hit a kangaroo, which put a crack in my bumper but it's not that visible). Now, THAT isn't something I see everyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
