    Re: My new Daily... again

    lol I'd almost consider it now that i'm quitting my job - but I'd only get rid of it for more than I payed for it because its really nice and either way its an awesome daily-driver.

    It's so base optioned I love it!
    No power steering as I originally thought it had, the manual rack just feels like power steering.
    Then again I'm also used to driving the talon (no p/s) which takes more effort than a civic without power steering.
    No power options at all. Has amazing heat, was told A/C worked great before the pulley went bad and he cut the belt.
    Stereo is meh, its all stock but perfect for me as long as I can plug in my ipod with the $12 casette adapter
    The only option I've noticed it really even has - is Cruise control which works great. Which I do really love since it'll probably see many road trips

    Its a lot of fun, wish I had vtec though - i feel so robbed without having it, sometimes I just want to scream Vtec whenever I accelerate but then I remember I have no vtec

    Uhh, too light? Don't you want it to be light?

    Well this thing is a lot of fun, just a few issues to take care of to make it pretty much perfect asides from little blemishes that can't be helped.

    Yeah you want it light but if you go too light either it'll never hook on the strip. Your best bet, put it on ebay. You'll more than likely double your money on the "bubble butt" bodystyle. Friend did that too his sold for 2200 and it was a little more rough but had the SI rear disc breaks on it. Just set your reserve at like 1 grand so if it goes lower you don't have to sell.

    Update on this BEAST!

    Fixing the main issues the car has, the guy said these were why he was selling it cheap

    Rear brakes / clutch issues during start of drive (was just low on fluid) / CV shafts.
    Now shes really gonna be completely problem free!

    Wouldn't mind finding a compressor to get A/C back either but i don't consider that an issue.

    I think I may sell it after the winter and see if I can get 1-1.5k on it depending if I can find the 'right' buyer haha.
    I'd like to get something a bit nicer for once for a daily. Something comfortable with power options a/c and not so small it's wrapped around me. I'd still need it to be gas efficient and reliable so I'm thinking along the lines of a Grand Prix (not a GTP, unless I found one really cheap under 2k)

    I hate the stock civic seats, they kill my back after a night of driving it. Maybe its just my back issues, I hear other people that love them. Definitely going to drive this sob through the winter though, I can't think of a better winter beater.
