Bought the car in the spring of 2002 for 1600$, at that time it had 29,700 original miles and had never seen a winter. It was completely upkept, the local honda dealer sold the first owner the car, that dealership i happened to work at. Right now it has 40,500 miles on it and i just purchased a 1995 Honda Civic Ex coupe that was in an accident and stripped it of everything except for the dash and steering wheel. That motor will be being rebuilt completely for a turbo application. I previously owned 2 other hondas, 1992 Honda Civic hatch si, 1983 Honda Civic CVCC hatch.

the auto stuff on that guage cluster doesn't light up, my car is a 5spd dx, the guage cluster came out of a 1990 Crx auto, my friends car was blown up and he decided to use it for practice jaws of life at his firehouse....eww. so i salvaged his guage cluster from him for a mere 5$ and for a functioning and clean looking tach i thought it was a pretty good buy, oh ya and the gas issue was probably cause i had just driven the car from utica to buffalo ny a good 300 mile trip and then drove around lancaster,ny during a weekend cruise w/ my friends from western ny.

took a quick shot of the d15b2, its a decent motor for dual fuel injection, and this one is pretty clean compared to others i have worked on, this is where the low milage shines and disproves all who may have thought the car was rolled back or was repainted, all original
