The only thing that has gone whit the car is a burnt clutch. due to a friend who thought he could drive a clutch.
THIS WAS THE FIRST CAR I EVER BOUGHT. I PAID $700 FOR HER IN JUNE IN 2004 FROM MY NEIGHBOR. THE CAR GET'S UP AND GOES. THESE KIDS WITH THEIR FRONT WHEEL DRIVE CARS LOOK AT MY BMW AND NOTICE IT'S TWO DIFF COLORS AND JUST THINK IT'S A PICE OF s!%T. THEIR WAS THIS ONE TIME MY FRIEND JESUS (OWNS A 2000 CIVIC LX) WANTED TO RACE ME AND I TOLD HIM NOT TO EMBARASE HIM SELF. BUT HE STILL WANTED TO RACE ME. WE STOP AT A LIGHT ON A HIGHWAY CLOSE TO OUR HOUSE'S AND WHEN IT TURNED GREEN IT BASICALY WAS ALREADY OVER IN 3RD I WAS ALMOST THIRTY FEET AHEAD OF HIM AND IN 4TH IT WASN'T EVEN A RACE THEN. THEN I SLOWED DOWN AND CALLED HIM AND SAID WHAT HAPPENED. HE Didn't SAY ANYTHING.
HERE'S SOME PICS OF MY BMW E30/325

HERE'S A PIC WHIT ME AND JESUS (I'm IN BLUE HE'S IN WHITE) http://n00093.myspace.com/00093/65/68/93298656_l.jpg.
I'm not suprised by your review, the 192 bhp 2.5 litre straight six with Vanos is mighty fast and torquey, these sad boy racers haven't got a clue until they drive a straight six beemer, of it's power, not mention the smoothness!
That civic could have easily had a b18 integra motor, and he would have lit you up.
