Hi All,
I believe this will be my first post of many here.
I have always wanted to own a Honda. Didn't matter which, to be honest.
I was looking for a newer model, but this EG appeared from no where. I contacted the seller and requested to see the car. It was love on first sight. I knew it had a few things to be done, but at that time I thought that it would be worth it.
This is the first pic I took when I got the car
This is a Honda Civic VTI 1600cc 160hp 93/93 b16a2 DOHC VTEC
It has forged pistons (flat) and con-rod. Previous owner was preparing it to receive a turbo, but never got to that point.
First day after I actually bought the car the 3rd gear started "scratching".
Second day the 5th gear started doing the same thing...
Third day the 4th...
At that point I thought... Oh f...
So I went to a mechanic in order to change the transmission oil, I thought that it could only help the actual situation...
When the mechanic drained the old tranny oil guess... THERE WAS NO OIL.
The old owner had replaced the gearbox and his mechanic freaking forgot to add oil to the transmission.. oh well...
This car is pretty rare around here, so it's parts are very expensive. I should've thought about that before buying it
Oh well.. Now I need to replace the tranny as soon as possible, spending as little as possible. Sounds like a challenge. I'll keep you posted about my saga! ^^
