I've done a lot on this car over the last two days and i can't get over how simplistic it is , i think i might one day buy a hatch back around 90-91. I mean i was able to install a whole stereo on it in 3 hours and then wire some foglights and fix his side markers as well, it would take me forever to find that stuff out in my car. So many damn wires under the dash, the civic was so basic it was almost fun.

5 bux sais he took em from 4thgenerationcivic.com haha, thats where your gonna find the codes...or in any trouble shooting manual for our cars, its really easy. I couldnt have asked for a better "first car" its old enough (insurance, accidents) safe enough (slow) and its so simple to fix
