R.I.P. - REED - 08-30-2005
and we are gathered here today to bid farewell to my faithfull Explorer, while she was good to me for many a year, the great overseers have decided that my time with her is over and she will happily live the rest of her years under my younger brother (which better be alot longer than my mom's passat lasted with him).
So anywho my new ride is a 2000 civic lx sedan (don't worry its beige) so it has just over 69K on it and i konw that means its timing belt season, and i have a feeling their may be some brake issues that i would like to work out. It is soo nice to be rid of the explorer and the 15MPG that came with it. I'm slowly getting used to driving stick all the time. If anyone would like to give me a hand witht the timing belt and diagnoising the brakes it would be much appreciated (otherwise im paying to have it done)

Reed sucks that we don't hear from you much, you should get more involved.

don't worry Reed, i am here to carry on the torch of sluggish crudeness with Jen's explorer. i shall also carry on the draining of the east coasts oil reserves with my gallon per mile consumption!
Feersty, your sig is....terrible. put those links back up.

fer real Feerst, change the sig
good purchase Reed. If you are in the burg, I can try to help you diagnose the brake issue. Now that you have a reliable DD, it's time to get a POS to track :-D

where you living?
- REED - 08-31-2005
My recent absence is unexcusable i know, but im still getting used to how much time this whole "work" thing takes up. Anyway I live in Vienna now right near the metro. with the exception of honda-tech do you guys have any other recomended sites i can look over, its about damn time i start getting my hands dirty with a car, and am looking forward to getting to work on this one.
