My cold air intake on it. That's pretty much how it looks now, only dirtier. I did change the plugs/wires in 06 with around 75k miles on them. It has something like 83k miles on it now and it runs like new, aside from a few creaks and whatnot.

Not bad looking. I was actually thinking about getting a 99-00 civic eg hatch. The only problem with that is my dad doesn't know a lot about imports and he usually fixes my cars. So, he kinda shys me away from imports. I heard nothing but good about civics though.
 
As far as working on them. they're not that hard. There is so much shit that is interchangable between the years.

Suspension parts from an EG civic fit on an EK civic, transmissions, engines, etc. Only difference is if you put a B series engine into a civic that originally had a D series engine, you'd need a new set of mounts, blah blah.

Hondaswap is a great place to learn all this new stuff.
 
Origins of our month names

The word 'calendar' stems from calare (to call out), just as the ancient priests did when they announced a new moon. The word 'month' of course, stems from 'moon'. The month names we used were chosen to celebrate Roman deities and emperors.
But four of the month names are not yet consecrated to anyone or anything. Strange that in 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII changed the calendar system and established the Gregorian calendar with January as the first month of the year, he did not rename any of these months. December, for example, could have been changed to Christ-month or Jesus-month.
  • January: Roman god Janus was the god of doorways, entrances, gateways, thresholds and beginnings, and therefore used for the opening of the New Year.
​
  • February: February used to be the last month of the Roman calendar. On 15th day of the month was a Pagan festival of purification called Februa and so this month came to be known as Februa's month. The day before that, and the day after 13th (ides), was a holiday to honour Juno. The goddess Juno was the Queen of the Roman gods and goddesses, and also the goddess of women and marriage. Was it coincidence that the nasty Emperor Claudius II arranged for a priest named Valentine to be clubbed to death and then beheaded on this day? See St. Valentine's Cross.
​
  • March: The Roman god Mars, god of war and guardian of the state. This was the first month of the ancient Roman calendar.
  • April: Considered a sacred Roman month for the goddess Venus. The name 'April' is probably from Apru, an Etruscan borrowing of Greek Aphrodite, a fertility goddess. Alternatively, it may stem from the Latin aperire (to open), as so many buds and blossoms open in this month.
  • May: This is from Maia a Roman goddess of earth, honour and reverence. She was wife of Vulcan, mother of Mercury by Jupiter and daughter of Atlas. It became a popular girl's name in English.
  • June: The chief goddess Juno, wife of Jupiter and queen of the heavens and gods. June became another popular name for girls, as did:
  • July: Named after the death Julius Caesar in 44 BC to deify and immortalize his name. Gaius Julius Caesar was born in this month, which was formerly Quintilis (fifth) month of the Roman calendar.
  • August: Named in 8 BC after Augustus Caesar, the adopted heir of Julius Caesar and the first Roman emperor (31 BC - 14AD). A word related to 'august' is 'venerable', and the emperor was known as the Venerable Caesar. Quite a contrast to the month's original name, 'Weodmonao', which means 'month of weeds'. Today's gardeners would agree with that.
The next four months are just based on a mundane numbering system from the time when the year began in March. September through to December were months 7 to 10. A numbering system is still used in many cultures today for the whole year. Modern Japanese, for example, has 1-gatsu, 2-gatsu, 3-gatsu ... 12-gatsu.
  • September: This name comes from the Latin septem, meaning 'seven'.
  • October: This name comes from the Latin octo, meaning 'eight'. (Octopus - an 8-sided cat?) This is the month when people start thinking of Christmas and New Year parties. Amaze your friends by telling them the day of the week for Christmas Day and New Year's Day; these days are always the same week day as 2nd October.
  • November: This name comes from the Latin novem, meaning 'nine'.
  • December: This name comes from the Latin decem, meaning 'ten'.
