That is a formidable photo archive, but I love the detail. You seem to have a bunch of OEM parts that are commonly swapped for "performance" (such as the airbox) or replaced when they fail (such as the distributor) with aftermarket parts. Also, it has been years since I have seen a fifth gen Civic rolling around Cali with its tailgate/trunk decal mostly or entirely in tact. Sun, salt, and general weather destroy them over time. The "Civic VX" decal on yours looks pretty good, though weathered. You also have the front bumper lip still, and it is in tact. That often disappears. And you have the original 13" ultra light rims, and they are pretty. Rims are often swapped.

Fun to see.

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.
