hey guys, honda newbie here

[moonchook]

Hi all,

recently purchased an 85 honda civic AH for a measly $1000 with RWC to get myself back on the road after writing of my commodore :o.

car is in great nick for its age, and came with roof racks woot! will probably just be a runabout but thoughts of a DOHC engine swap or other mods are already creeping in.

this little honda is my third car and probably my favourite, lots of fun to drive. (previous cars being a 79 sunbird aka moonchook, and a vp commodore)

anyway looks to be a fair wack of info here, i'll probably be spending alot of time searching through it.

Cheers.

lol yeah, though can't say the 85 civic would be much safer than the old commode. wrote off the commodore due to my mad driving skills, misjudged a gap and cut a lady off.

lol, yeah those mad skills seem to come with every commodore purchase.. :thumbdwn:
Hope u didnt hurt anyone.

nah no-one was injured, I wasn't doing anything illegal, hoon bug left me when i lost my licence about two years ago.

I tried to get across a street and didnt leave quite enough time. lady struck about 10% of my rear, but bent everything out of shape as the other side of the car hit a sign. first accident in four years of driving.

anyway, what would be the best section to start a thread/worklog? the civic 2000 and below section?

If you are planning a big build, put one in the Build Section.
Beware, sadly there are people who will complain if your thread isn't up to standard.
