I dont have any rust on mine but I know the 92-95's can get rust on tailgate,shouldnt be a problem with an EK, just check the arches and sills and look for crash damage, slight oil leaks from left hand side of the block are normal.avoid if block and sump are covered. A good honda engine will be quiet as a mouse when ticking over. Oh and as for gear shifts at high rpm (and im sure many people on here will agree) Thats what these cars were built for!
