Ok heres what he did: changed valve cover and spark plug gaskets, spark plug wires, new steering wheel, new stereo, new exhaust, reinstalled stock air filter, fixed glove box, new drivers door,with matching paint, buffed and washed car, washed engine.
Ain't I one lucky Mom?
On the way home, he lives 45 minutes away, the engine overheated, so when he got here he flushed the radiator and cussed alot.
It's running fine right now and thankfully I don't have far to drive to get to work.
It is a 1992 with over 230k miles.....hanging on for dear life.
I LOVE MY SON>

Default What do I want to do for my Civic today - Seafoam, anyone?

Greetings fellow Civic Lovers!
Does anybody use seafoam to clean out the engine? Sounds like a good idea, but I've seen some pretty strange youtube videos about it. My 2003 EX gets up to 40 mpg, so it's not like I'm having any problems with performance. So should I give Seafoam a whirl, or should I figure, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." ????
Opinions, anybody?

replaced my skunk2 rear camber arms with buddy club arms. Polyurethane bushings would bind, non stop annoying squeaking over any bump. Not sure why it took me a year to decide to replace them with arms with rubber bushings.
