97 Honda Civic

[HINZ28]

Bought this as a winter car bout a month ago. Its a 97 honda civic lx 5 speed with 154,000 miles on it. It will be a good car to rack the miles up on driving back and forth from milford everyday. Pick it up for $2300 not the best deal but its pretty clean honda.

Heres the shitty part, 2 weeks after having it the head gasket blew:headchop:
So the project began, put a new head gasket on it, and while i had it apart did the timeing belt, also threw a clutch in it while i was at it.

The dumb **** that sold it to him probably should have told him the car overheats and the clutch slips, expecially when the two are friends?

[Lt4TransAm]

He knew that it needed work. The cluch didnt slip ether. He expects a worn out honda hx should get 2nd gear everywhere. And from what i herd he sucks at driving it. Its not a 300hp camaro. It needed the fan hooked up and i told him that. Y you sticking up for your boyfriend paul? Tylers gonna get mad your cheating on him.HAHAHa:rofl:

First of all how can you suck at driving a honda? the clutch slipped so bad before it was imposible to drive good....now that it has a new clutch and flywheel it will get 2nd so you have no clue wat the **** your talkin bout so shut the **** up! You lied to my face bout this car about more than a couple things, your a worthless peice of **** that cares bout no one but yourself and making a dollar, so stop talkin ****!

The fans are hooked up the relay is jus bad easy fix and that did not cause the car to overheat when it was 10 degrees out! The head was warped as a mother ****er from you or someone else getting it way to hot and you obviously knew something cause you put a radiator and thermastat in it
When i asked you if the clutch slipped, you said "no its great" when the flywheel was fried and made it slip horriably. Told me the tranny was great, when it pops out of third all the time

I could easily go on! Oh and to all you thinkin why didnt i drive it more before i bought it, i thought i could trust this kid not to lie to me!

[Lt4TransAm]

I drove the car for a week at most. Put a new thermostat and radiator in it. Because the radiator had a crack in it and when i drove it back from Omaha it kept overheating cause it was hot out and the radiator was cracked.The cluch never slipped. At most it was the flywheel. Ive heard from many people how you try speed shifting it and suck at it. I also here how you drift into curbs so you obviously are horrible at driving. And not to mention how many times have you wrecked your camaro'S.

I never even try to speed shift it wats the point? has no balls anyways? drifting ya i have hit 2 curbs nothing bad **** happens, never ****ed anything up on it and guessing the person that told you that is caleb, he has no room to talk as i have seen him hit pry a dozen curbs, put it in a ditch, almost in a creek, and now i hear he hit a tree? i wrecked the 93 once.......? You have no ****ing idea wat your talkin bout so quit talkin **** like you do! i never said i was the KING at driving!!

[HINZ28]

Not a single thing in this tread has to do with my driving, so obviously your jus tryin to start ****!

[BOORAH]

King of driving checking in.

[HINZ28]

:rofl:

[cole]

this thread is definitely delivering...

if you do burn it, can i has the wheels? :)

[HINZ28]

they are yours!!

jk.....

[cole]

any idea who owned this thing before derr?

[HINZ28]

nope why?

[cole]

just curious, doesnt seem like you should be having so much trouble with it

[Lt4TransAm]

You said the clutch was fine. All it needed was the flywheel surfaced. I told you it overheated and that i didnt know wat was wrong with it. I thought it was the fan. Use your brain dumass!

[96speedZ28]

:popcorn:

All you knew is that it slipped and you failed to tell me that, you never took it apart an looked at the flywheel???? i shoulda used my brain! im a dumbass for buying it!

Really i dont give a **** tho, i got a good running honda now, and honestly im not worried bout the money i can get it out of it now, i spent most that money by choice jus so the car would run good, the head and head gasket is the part i was most pissed bout besides you lying, i dont believe you for a sec that you didnt know the head gasket was goin out, i thought after the first time it overheated that was pry the prob, fans are not that important when its 10 degrees out

[cole]

did you not test drive it?

[HINZ28]

did you not test drive it?

i drove it once thought it seemed alright which it really wasn't, i tried to get 2nd later that day and it wasnt happening lol

[swaggy853]

so you say that "it seemed alright which it really was" and then you talk **** about him selling you a shitty car?
