just bought my first honda; 87 civic.

its an 87 civic, thats all it says on the title.
its the 2 door wagon.
i love it.
i have 2 1971 pontiac GTO's. thats what i work on and basically all i know, so i'll be asking alot of questions.
this one runs pretty good, 120,000 miles, so it says. engine surges but runs pretty well, tach doesntwork, clutch might need replaced, slips a little when you stomp it in 3rd or 4th, oh yeah manual trans, sunroof, man steering and brakes, man windows and no air.
not registered yet but i drove it 3 miles home and what a blast!
needs that center taillight section replaced, has alot of rust. i'll take pics after i wash it!

i'm a working musician, www.animalhouseband.com i travel alot, my durango was eating up gas at like 11mpg.
i just gotta find a way to fit the drumset in there...

Re: just bought my first honda; 87 civic.

thanks for the replys.
i'm wondering how difficult it will be to replace the clutch as its slipping. it was replaced once and the car only has 120000 miles so i wonder why it needs a clutch.
where exactly should i ask these questions?
