Greetings Enthusists, Owners, Mechs, Racers, DDs, and Noobs,
Forgive me if I missed anyone. Thank you for all the great information here on this forum. I am Shane (most call me Coach). And i am new to the Civic forum. Thats not to say that im new to Honda. I have been in a Honda for the better part of 21 years starting with a 3g Lude in '94 after a tour in Korea. Then a 2.2CL and a smattering of other Japanese automobiles. But i regained my Honda Bearings in '02 with a Civic Lx and then another 3g Lude in '09. Several 3g builds that pi$$€d off my wife to no end. Then Cleared out the garage a couple years ago and got a '12 Pilot (Love it!!). Built the oldest daughter a '93Ex two years ago and recently upgraded that to an '01 Ex. So, i guess i would classify myself as a Honda enthusist and daily driver. I am finally seriously considering trading out my Harley Davidson FXRS Custom Bagger for a VTX 1800. For no other reason than i am sick of wrenching more on the old horse than actually riding the thing. Wishing you all Peace, Joy, Luck and Happy Hondaing.

Welcome! Looks like you've had your fair share of Hondaing and you can bring lots of wisdom.

What branch?

Thanks for the warm welcome! Well, i guess my first repairs will be the cam plug, egr gasket (need access to the cam plug), and the VTEC solenoid gaskets. (All already in hand). Have already lost a quart of oil in only a week. So, this weekend is bustaknuckle time. I would say i love driving and in a past life might have been one of the early LeMans racers. What i know is through trial and error! Like most of us. And Honda makes it easy. Although, maybe not on the back.
I spent 8 years in the Army between Infantry and Signal Corp from '88 to '96.
