From what I could tell, the former owner didn't know anything about working on cars, given the many receipts that he'd left behind for me; but with said, he kept good records, and knew well enough when to take it in for everything.

Thankfully, I was happy to talk him down $400, given the surprise he had in store with the exhaust manifold. That required a stock set-up with both new & used parts. For those reading this, I've learned that an exhaust manifold for a 92-95 Civic CX and VX are the exact same part. The catalytic converter however; requires you to buy a new OEM part. Plus, the L1H1 5-wire Wideband Oxygen Sensor can be found on Ebay for less than $200.00.
