Newbie with a 95
Hey everyone my name is Hamza and I just bought a 1995 Honda Civic EX coupe. It has about 105K on it and is a manual. I will have many questions since I am new to the Honda community. I also have a 04 Altima which most of my money goes into but couldn't give up the deal I got on the civic. I dont know if I should post my first question here or not but here goes:
Since the car has over 100k what all should I do as far as far as keeping it maintained? Tune-up, any coolant flushes, etc? Also I want to know where to take the car to get this stuff done? I am in Little Ferry, NJ. Help will be greatly appreciated.

welcome to the forum [sm=hiya.gif][sm=hiya.gif] in the honda manul there will be a section with all different things you should do and at how many km's, and for a place to bring it im not sure about that since i live far away from you..but mabey you car try doing them yourself? like the easy stuff to start off with...and only 105 k on a 95, wow thats sweet!

Welcome. timing belt and waterpump first thing. other than that, maybe new fluids all around, clutch, brake, trans, oil, and coolant. then new spark plugs, wires and a new distributor cap and rotor. that will take care of most of what might have been neglected. more insurance than anything. sounds like a good car, how much you pay for it, if you dont mind me asking.

105k is very good for a 95. its probably about a third of the way through its life...honda motors (if treated right) will easily get to over 300k. i have a 99 and i just passed 80k right before winter break, so you'res is in good shape.
if you dont mind...how much did you pay for it?
