    I have had 5 cars.
    The best was a 1999 Civic Si.
    I’d own another one, but only if I still owned a truck too.

    Do you have original plastic coolant pipe that goes bad. They have a metal replacement that you should do while motor is out.

    My cousin (same one who volunteered at the Battleship Wisconsin) lives in Norfolk and got these pictures of the USS Leyte Gulf while on a boat tour with his parents...

    Okay, so we have hit one little hiccup; For some reason, the front Bilstein shock absorbers will not fit with the lift kit in place. The service writer texted me and informed me that the my options were to remove the lift kit (ummm...NO!) or retain the stock absorbers; Obviously I have chosen the second option because I want to keep the lift kit, and I was informed that getting new OEM struts would take another two days. My mechanic will address the situation with the front struts later...

    Lift kit; Gonna have OEM front shocks installed by my mechanic later since it would take the dealer two days to get them in.
