Radiator, axles, some bushings, timing belt and related bits (if not done already... may be due for round 2 anyways), some of the top end gaskets, fuel filter, and probably a few other things will need to be replaced.
Not that its a bad thing - just know what you're getting into. If its been taken care of (regular oil changes) and compression on the motor is good, then no reason it cant be a good car.
Ok. Ill let him know. Im not so sure he's as willing as some would be to do this, but he/his father works at honda, and they're always giving his family a helping hand on car related stuff, so i doubt it would be that bad. Compression test wise, where could he go to get this done? Hell id like to know that myself actually.
