Hey You!

I am new to this forum and would like to thank Forty04 for his DIY post about replacing the window regulator. The mechanic I talked to wanted $180 to replace the regulator, using Fort04's directions I was able to do it myself and it only cost me $40 for the regulator online.

Hey me!...haha Anyways Im new here but not to honda, I also have a 05 pilot & just picked up a 98 civic dx coupe.
History........
Got it from a guy I know, his belts flew off & had a noise while idling I saw the crank pulley wobbling all around. Its not very often but these pulleys do separate. So I told him no problem will replace the pulley.. key & bolt just incase. To make a long story short, the snout of the crank is messed up & bolt is broke. I gave him some options but time & money would/could be a issue & still not work. so his best bet was to just put a used engine in it. 1500-2000 parts & labor.
Anyway, he said he put alot a money into it, but didnt think it was worth it. I disagreed with him but in short, I bought the car.....very clean inside & out. Put new t-belt,w-pump, seals & let it run today make sure no leaks & adjusted valves. just hope my idea works so i can get atleast 80-100k before I have to put a engine in it.
thanks for the good times to come

hey everyone, i just got my 98 civic dx coupe for $600. it runs (now), and it was completely stock when i got it. so far just rims and the replacement parts to get it running are the only mods. more to come. cant wait to learn how to put all the crap on and fix this car up.
