What engine went in for replacement?

Click to expand...

D15B for the 6th Gen. The 3 Gee I put in a rebuilt engine.

Only 23

Cars since I've started driving at 17
99 Accord (Auto Trans Issues)
04 Civic SI (Wrecked) < Where my love for HBs started
96 Civic EX (got rid of at 250k miles, after trans and engine issues)
2012 Civic LX (Dad's)
2017 Civic HB Sport (Just put a deposit on one)

I do not currently have a 10th gen civic, but I am looking to purchase the Type-R once it releases here in the states. Right now I have an '08 S2000 CR (weekend fun car) and '11 Si Sedan (daily driver)... pics below.

Got my first car in 1987 and have since been sort of all over the map in regards to style and form.

These are in order of purchasing:
1981 AMC Eagle
1988 Mustang LX convertible
1987 Chrysler LeBaron GT
1985 Nissan 300Z
1995 Nissan Hardbody SE truck
1991 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme coupe
1999 Saturn SC2 3-door coupe (bought new)
1979 Ford F-250
2000 Jeep Wrangler Sport (bought new)
2001 Jeep Wrangler (bought new and still have)

2013 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Unlimited (still have)
2013 Honda Insight EX hybrid (bought new)
2016 Honda Civic Touring sedan (bought new and still have)

Fun Facts:
All 3 of our Civics have been blue sedans, the F-250 was surprisingly the most reliable over the time I had it, and the 300Z was still the most pure joy to drive.

Before my '17 FK7 hatchback? Another Honda Civic! 2002 EP3. Kept it for almost fifteen years, modded it with a bunch of bolt-ons, and sold it two days after taking home my FK.

And before that -- another Honda Civic! 1986 EA-T Si hatchback (not many photos; found this old one today). Never modded.

And before that... my first car! A Honda Civic! (sorry, no photos of mine that I know of; it was another '86 hatchback, except the next-step-down DX trim level, in metallic burgundy, and smelled like my first job: delivering pizza!)

1975 Ford Maverick. 4MT. 1st car, and only car I ever owned that I could physically climb onto the hood and sit on and not worry about denting. Sure don't make 'em like they used to.

1979 Toyota Celica GT. 5MT. Most fun car I ever owned, but was a total rust bucket. If I could, I would build myself a retro-mod tuner car out of one of these bad boys. Hatch version.

1990 Toyota Tercel Hatch. 5MT. First new car to go with my first job out of college.

1995 Toyota Tacoma 2wd. 5MT. Stopped living in apartments and bought a house, so needed a pick-em-up.

2000 Nissan Frontier 2wd. 5MT.

2007 Honda Civic LX Sedan. 5MT. Not the most fun, but so far the best overall car I've owned. Rock-solid reliability. Was sad to trade it in, but also didn't want to have to deal with replacing clutch, wheel bearings, etc.

(Current) 2017 Civic LX Sedan. CVT. Officially old now (50), and gave up on MTs because when I'm 60, my left leg might give up on me from time to time lol.
