It is done.....hatch is gone to a good home. I'll miss it. I'm glad I wrote this blog as there is a ton of good information, part numbers, etc...here for others to use. I'll check in on occasion. Thanks for all of your inputs!

Thanks Matt. It is a very solid car for someone. I also have a JDM B18 and an LS tranny along with lots of other parts that go with the deal.

All, I regret to inform you that the hatch will be on the selling block soon. I hate to do it but I've been laid off from Dell EMC for restructuring. Dell Technologies purchased EMC Corporation in Sep 2016. I finally got caught in the restructuring net. I will consider offers and would like...

yeah, I don't drive it as much as I once did but it fires right up and just passed emissions testing again. I've flirted with selling it but it's so fun to drive. No match for the big torque motors around these days but still a blast in the turns.

Ahhhhh.....one of the things I didn't replace, the fuel tank developed a leak around the filler pipe area. Lots of rust. I pulled the rear seat to expose the top of the tank and found both the fuel pump and sending unit panels to be extremely corroded as well. That was a surprise. Now I have...

Another update: So I had climate blower issues that eventually burned out the blower speed control resistor pack in the climate control panel. Replaced the blower. Pulled the climate control panel and the blower speed control was toast. The car harness connector was melted as well. Visited...

Checking in.......oil changes and lots o miles later. Civic is running like a champ. Had a camping trip to Acadia National Park in June and the Civic did another great job of pulling the teardrop. Still getting 32mpg(23mpg with camper) when I don't drive too agressive and use 93 octane.

Yep, purchased in 2007 with 105,000 miles on it. I average 35,000 miles a year. I have a 120 mile daily work commute plus camping trips etc...I'll have 38,000 this year. Thankful for the 2008 si seats that make all that drive time bearable :-)

Me too! I did order another ignition switch assy from Honda as I'll need to replace it eventually. I have over 400,000 miles on the electrical system and it is the last system to be overhauled.

Head gasket replacement went well. There was no head or deck warpage and I used copper gasket spray on the head gasket before installation. I had a rough idle I could not figure out and it is now gone. Seems this B20 had a bad head gasket when I took delivery. It runs great now. I started...

I've had an incredible run of issues on my hatch. The battery went which was actually caused by my original swap starter going bad. Replaced starter with carquest reman and the battery with an Optima. New carquest starter was bad when it was hot. Returned carquest starter for denso...

I realized the left rear was jacked up in that pic.

Keeping you all updated: Ok, I have some serious issues. My starter showed signs of failing for a couple months. Finally quit working when hot. I replaced with the only one available.....reman from advance auto. That starter also failed to turn over a couple times. I ordered a rebuilt...

I have coilovers on all 4 corners. Koni yellows with Eibach springs. They work great.

Latest change: plasti-dipped my 2003 civic si rims. $15 later and it really transformed the look. I also plasti-dipped the emblems black. With all other trim also flat black, it really looks nice.

Well, I drive 120 miles a day and 35,000 miles a year. If you can recommend a turbo setup that can reliably last as long as the all motor setup and still be used to tow my teardrop camper, I would be interested. The Jackson supercharger is an option to keep heat down but at a $5000 price tag...

Back seat is pretty much untouched :-) Still need reliability so turbo is out.

Almost forgot.....had to convert the OBDI ECU from auto to manual too.

Next project: Tune the B20. Ok, so I've been having lean fuel check engine hits every 250 to 300 miles. I was concerned the JDM high compression B20b was not being controlled efficiently using the B18b OBDll ECU. I decided to grab an OBD1 ECU and tune the motor. I went to xenocron.com and...

Have a sticky throttle body?
