1988 Honda Civic LX review from North America
"A lovely smooth reliable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At first when I got the car the transmission was not good because it had 302000km on it so I changed the transmission then my motor went down on me same problem it had 302000km on it so I had a 1.5 motor in the car before, but this time I decided to put in the Si motor which is 1.6 multi port fuel injection after changing these stuff iv'e never had a problem because it had on 60000km on engine and transmission and it is j spec motor.
General comments?
I drove a 99 civic before, but I know that my civic runs better then that car
i've raced a 96 Civic Dx 4 door and I won which means my motor is really good I would love to keep this car untill it dies.
