Yup im dumb..that sweet smell I thought was my head gasket going was defintaly coolant gettign burnt. guess im not getting a new engine as quick as I thought. (I cleaned my PCV/IACV and guess I poked a wee hole in my coolant line in the TB it was weepin ever so slightly on my downpipe) Anyone want to buy a N/A with a fairly fresh rebuilt motor... I need something that I wont feel so bad about pulling the motor out of so I can put a v6 in it....

Hey guys, looking for a new (used) car for Corinn. These are the cars we are considering 1997-2001s civic,200sx,sentra,g20. What am I forgetting? oh, she wants a 5spd

Something reliable and good on gas...celica?(sa-leak-ah)

masagsxr · 07-06-2009, 01:35 AM

saw a bunch of honda on craigslist under 4K. I've always wanted a 2000 Civic coupe as a daily. Saw a few on craigslist that looks good under $3800 which you can probably offer cash between 2500-3400.

honda_bar · 07-06-2009, 01:43 AM
