You don't see many B18C6's in the U.S. How much did you pay for a Euro/U.K. B18C6?
I have a 99 Civic.
I had my car's front end re-painted and the body shop did a great job other then the fact, when the sun hits the paint, you can see that the front doesn't match the rest of the car. The front is a shade off. they used a grey primer and all of us Honda enthusiasts know Honda uses a dark primer(black).
My windows are tinted an the passenger side window fell out of track one day and tore the tint on that window.
My rear suspension bushings sqeek.
I need a set of rims to put on the car since I sold the ones I use to have.
Also I haven't driven the car in about a year now. She is in the garage with no motor. Last summer I was driving to work and the weather was about 90+ degree's. I heard the motor have a slight tick in it and I knew I needed an oil change which, I was going to have done that day. I was about 10 minutes from work after driving for 15 minutes and that tick became a loud knocking sound. I lost all power(not that there was much in the first place on a stock d16y8) and pulled over at the nearest gas station. Had the car towed home. Pulled her into the garage a couple weeks later and once I pulled the motor out, put the motor on a stand and pulled the oil pan off I knew I had a problem. Metal shavings and black oil wasn't good. Number 4 rod I could shake in by hand. A spun rod bearing can eat up a lot of metal. Sold the whole swap and the car has been on jack stands waiting for a swap for months now.
Other then those slight problems I love my car. She is the first car I have bought and paid for. I am driving my 92 4runner right now and it seems when I have money to fix my car I end up doing maintenance to the 4runner so it keeps running strong as a daily driver and doesn't end up like the civic.
