Good afternoon everyone, it’s a pleasure to be part of this group.
I’m Horatiu, I live in Madrid, I’m a martial artist and I work in the IT world to earn a living. I have a 2003 Civic 1.6 VTEC Sport 3-door (actually, I have two) and I’m looking to meet people from the scene, learn about the automotive world (I know nothing) and take good care of my car, as I am in love with it.
I hope to gradually learn more and meet you at some gathering.

Welcome, there are people here who know a lot about mechanics, I am not one of them.

Welcome. That’s a good car, in the family we had one that we sold with 320,000 km and it never gave us a problem, even today I sometimes see it passing by.

Welcome @Horatiu
My first Civic was an EP4 from the same era… a 1.7 diesel that consumed like a lighter and ran on rails (it was the Sport version)… I sold it with over 240k and it still kept going for a couple more years until the crazy person who bought it crashed it, rolling it several times…
Let’s see if we can meet in person at the national meetup we usually hold in October at the Karting circuit of Los Santos de la Humosa.

Great to hear that, hopefully later on I’ll meet people who need a hand and let me help. A hug!

Wow, they’re just amazing. Hondas in general. The red one (mine) just hit 200k and the other one we have in the family has already surpassed 300k. And the biggest issues have been replacing the parts that expire (timing belt, etc.).

I’m sorry to hear that the car ended up like that, sometimes we get carried away and mess things up.
Of course! I’ll be there! I might have to come down from Asturias (I’ll have some matters there in October) but I won’t miss it! Thank you!
