all I have to say about civics is that I go to work in one (my buddy who I work with gets me there) while both my dsms are sitting in my driveway. The 2GNT has no registration and its battery was eaten by the TSI, and the TSI itself overheats (headgasket suspect) so I don't drive it. In the month that I've had it, the 1G ate about $1000 in repairs, considering it ran good when I bought it. First I had to drop a ton of cash to have the front hubs, bearings, rotors and other crap replaced after a tire blew, a little later the battery was just dead like that in the morning, good I had the NT handy, a week after that one ignitor failed on the highway and scared the crap out of me, ran on 2 cyls for good 10 miles. A week ago the radiator fan temp. switch failed and the car promptly overheated like 20m from home just waiting at a stoplight, prolly that killed the HG.
I was going to sell the 2gnt but now I'm thinking I should keep it as a DD. It only really broke on me once, when the ECU died.  1993 Eagle Talon TSI AWD: balance shafts, cruise & AC removed; 16psi, Dejon intake & UICP, ported 14b, EVOIII mani, ported 2G O2 housing, 2.5" Buschur dp to 3" Thermal exhaust, datalogger, front strut brace, prothane motor mounts
