Great first car, the EJ2. I have always liked the lines of the fifth gen Civics, such as yours, more than sixth gen civics, such as mine. And an EJ2 would be perfect. Low maintenance, easy to repair. Once you pass technical inspection, You could do some simple and low profile mods to improve fuel economy. AFTER, you accomplish all the essential but deferred repairs it might need.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
