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. 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?
