    Such a good purchase from the original owner! Makes sense why the car is so unmolested.

    What I'd do to own one of these again. I had a 95 Civic coupe as my first car. It was an EX with a 5 speed manual, but it was white in color. I miss that car. Owned it from 2006-2009.

    I just picked up a 1995 LX Sedan Manual with 88,000 miles on it from the original owner! Its in very good shape but needs some minor cosmetic stuff, along with a power steering fluid leak. Otherwise, it runs like a champ. My plans are to restore it, along with tighen up the suspension for some precise handling.

    Personally i love this car if it was mine i would have installed infinity speakers and would have added the Ghost Box with the oem block off plate instead of the aftermarket stereo to make it look clean and for it to sound nice and clean but other than that i love this car 🤓

  • @Allaces305
    @Allaces305 Год назад

    I love it...I didn't know any of those DMV laws.
    The good thing about these cars is that there's tons of aftermarket parts and in no time you should have it looking sweet... If the timing belt is a chain don't even change it... It's basically brand new... You might want to look at the chain guides though... Honestly these cars are basically bullet proof... It sounds great and idles great....I have a '99 infiniti G20 and it runs like a demon.

    • @HiFiInsider
      @HiFiInsider  Год назад

      yeah parts are mostly easy to find and cheap. Unfortunately timing chain started in 1996 for Honda. Agreed, 90s cars are simple and very reliable.

    Interesting. Typical Japanese car from that time. If it doesn't have much rust you're gonna be fine. I used to own 97' nissan primera, it was really reliable but it had a lot of rust and that finished it off.
