I don't see any rice there, so no problem at all 8) Nothing wrong with a Civic unless it is riced out with the typical fart can and huge rear wing, don't forget the not painted body kit.

It looks really clean!
 
not gona lie i had a hondo prelude 99 stick, that car i got for $100, it had 350k miles on it all original everything, i put 40k miles on it in 4 months, sold it to some kid in the next town over for a grand, it was a 5speed, that needed about 8grand into work, such as clutch,breaks,tires,all new gaskets,and new struts all around and some paint..... but hell for $100 i didnt complain it got from a-b in a lil longer than usual, didnt shift always died when u hit the breaks and down shifted cause clutch was gone 🙂 and sorry i didnt rice it out lol the muffler was shot:huge hole
 
btw that prelude i sold it with 438,186 miles on it and it still ran lol you cant kill em engines.
 
Excellent choice! One of the last great Japanese small cars. Indestructible so long as you keep up with the timing belt and cooling system maintenance. Plus, the double wishbone Civic chassis is probably the best handling front drive chassis ever made. As an added bonus, if the world goes to sh*t and we face $5-10 a gallon gas, you are far better insulated from the economic problems it will cause than someone with a big V8 as their only car.
 
Time to get hustling on your Camino! :banana:

I actually know my way around that body style of Civic pretty well, as I fixed about a dozen of them as rebuilders when I was first getting into auto body repair.

They're great little commuter cars if you leave them alone...
But, like any car, they have that little black cloud than hangs over their image from all the people that do them up wrong.
