What's up? My name is Ric. I drive an 89 Honda Civic DX. I've owned it for about a month. I guess that's about it for now.

Happy to be here!

 

welcome to the forum Ric, enjoy your ride and take care of it, how many miles on the 89 ?

 

121,000. it drives excellent, i just have trouble getting it started lol.

 

have you given it a tune up lately, also check your compression. you should get a lot more miles with the car.

 

So far I've changed the fuel filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, radiator cap, the oil, oil filter, and replaced a valve gasket. how do u check compression?

 

a compression checker, go to autozone.com and register for free, I beleive they have a compression check on how to do. Or on about.com may have pic's on how to do it. If you intend to save a lot of money, get yourself a service manual from ebay or go to the library and there will be diagrams on how to do a lot of work on your car.
