Put in a carb kit twice, it had some hesitation, this fixed the problem. Each kit cost around $20.00.
Put on a new front axle for about $60.00.
Put in a new timing belt for about $150.00.
New alternator for About $45.00.
Seats started looking bad around the 250000 km mark give or take a year, so I bought some seat covers.
This car is still running fine today under another owner. It was a great little car that just never stops going. I took it everywhere, from going to work, to going to the mountains for a holiday. The car never let me down once.
I traded it in on a Chevrolet Blazer and regretted it almost instantly. The blazer cost me more money in 3 months the the Civic did in 3 years. I loved that car and am going to buy my son one for his first car. If you have one, keep it. If you want one, buy it.
Does anyone know what should I worry about buying a 1979 Honda Civic 1200. It looks pretty good, but it seams to run really hot. How many miles per gallon should I expect to get from it?
Rust is the thing to worry about, cracks in the aluminium motor from coldstart dragracing is a common thing. My car is a 79 civic with a 5 speed does 1ltr on 15kmph at normal use en 1\19 at abuse. if you see a good one buy it, it won't let you down.
