I had an ls with a gsr tranny in my civic. Ls swaps are very popular and you can get an entire swap cheap. You can't beat those little hatches on gas. Even with the bigger dohc ls motor.

Yes!
My parents got one when I was a teen. They acquired it secondhand from my aunt, they had it parked on the street when they had a flood.
It was sunk completely.
My dad changed the oil, added coolant a water pump and new air filter and time up. It had about 180k on it then. We drove it for about 2 years. No further service. I don't think it ever had an oil change. But it never had issues and always ran an started.
We finally had to get rid of it when the family friend we leant it lost the keys.
Sorry for the lengthy post, but I just had to say those things are stout little cars.

Also, I think is comical how many of us came from the Honda scene years ago... I am still in love with the Hondas but that **** gets expensive real quick!
Oh, wait... So do Jeeps. WTH am I talking about? LOL

I still had my xj when I bought my eg hatch but the novelty wore off. I just built a single cam turbo for my friend. They are good motors.
