3rd Civic, New to Forum

I've been around for a few months now and wanted to say hi. I purchased a 2005 LX Sedan with 133K miles a few months ago to use as a daily driver. It has a few issues but nothing major so far. I don't have a history so I'm hesitant to do anything major until I have a good feel for it. I took it on a 450 mi weekend road trip last month with no issues and got 36mpg I do that trip about six times a year and another that's about 900 mi twice a year.

So far I've:
-replaced the ECU
-brake fluid exchange
-four-wheel alignment
-oil/filter change
-aftermarket 16x7 rims
-new tires
-new gas cap

On my list:
-ATF drain/fill
-rear brake service
-tint windows
-valve adjustment
-coolant drain/fill
-new head unit (already purchased)


On my radar:
-cracks in exhaust manifold
-wheel bearings
-amp & speakers

I also have a 2005 Ford Ranger FX4 Level 2. Previous Civic's: 1989 DX Sd and 1999 EX Cp.

Thanks y'all--happy to be here!!
