Unhappy civic is toast

Well ive been noticing a huge power lose in my SI and that it was struggling to go over 6K rpm( it was just detonating), and the block is leaking. So i had a local shop look at it and do a compression check.

cylinder
1-150
2-140
3-120
4-135

Looks like its goin into storage till fall or untill i can get about 6K for a whole new block and built.

~i guess highly hp built civics arnt for DD use~

That sucks, I just crashed my 98 civic ex coupe and tore my entire bumper off in a thousand pieces, bent both my front rims and dented my door and fender. I guess it's not as costly as yours but I'm still pretty bummed out about it. I can't believe how hard it is to find used parts for these cars. It took me 2 days to find 2 of those cheapo steal rims, I called everywhere and no one carries them. I only found one junk yard in the entire phonebook that had a civic even close to mine.

why the hell do you need 6k to build an entire new block? Are you a retarded or just have mommy and daddy buy you everything when in fact you have no knowledge of cars?

Enlighten me as to why you need to completely build a new motor then? Do you have a hole in the block or are the cylinder walls trashed?
