Welcome Steve,

Nice to see someone moving on from civic's - that's a rare thing! :)

Quite a few brand new 5th gen'ers joined over the last week or so.

so it is a manual now? good choice 8-)

Manifold, zhorst and intake (type S OEM imo) and coilovers.

after that it depends on the condition of the car generally.


Rear calipers stick over time. cam bung leaks. um....

Title says tiptronic, so I'd guess it's automatic, as that's what Steve said he was looking at yesterday!
