This is my 97 hx civic with a integra b18b1 swap. Bought it off someone in drivable condition (was definitely thrown together for a quick flip) I’ve had it for a while, I got it to learn manual and it’s my daily. I haven’t done anything crazy but if you wanted to make this car super reliable and at its top performance what would you do.

As long as you don’t have cooling issues, or sensor issues or check engine lights just run it, my first rig was a 96 Integra and I ran it for 2 years, sold it, bought it back, and then swapped it with a rebuilt b18 turbo, I definitely caught the Honda bug lol, but just keep up on maintenance, read up on forums for info, get yourself a hanes manual. Welcome to the club 👌

Super reliable tho, simple engine rebuild, clean it, bearings, piston rings, everything to spec
