Car problems are solved https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



In 92 my grandpop bought a brand new, fully loaded, honda civic sedan. Cant member if its 2 door or 4, but its not a hatchback. Anyway, he drove it like an old man up until '01 or '02, and then gave it to my aunt. Shes been driving it like an old lady and barely put 8k on the car, and has never had a problem.



The only thing wrong with the car is the paint is coming off the rims a little https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif



So anyway, i cant member the milage but its not out of reason at all. Best part? ******* FREE. Means no payments, i can have liability hahahaha. So its a civic, good gas milage, reliable. **** it, move in my system and my XM and i have a new DD!



I have been looking at cars, used of course, but i didnt want to take on a payment because of another offer i got. My buddy has a 04 Ninja 636 with 9k babied miles on it. Long story short hes getting a 1000 in September and offered me the bike if i take over the payments. Has a power commander and a yoshi pipe installed, and the payments work out for me @ 210 a month.



So basically im getting a free car and the bike i wanted in a dream situation. Plus his 3yr extended warrenty on the bike carries over to me https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif



Good stuff, im happy. As for the R6 payment, my dad wants a Croth rocket and is going to take over the 150/mo payments on my R6. Good good stuff.

I don't know much about bikes, but what kind of reliablilty do they have?..how long do the engines last? I'm just curious...i know most people use their bikes as weekend drivers for fun and such





and thats ******* cool about the car and such

his has had minor problems. Its had one recall because the pipe mount on the can needed a rubber bushing that wasnt installed on any of the 04's for some reason. He had to have one oil pan gasket replaced because of a loose bolt. Other than that its been in for every single service, only synthetic and super, etc.



After the oil pan gasket he took it to superbike specialties and had it gone over twice with a magnifying glass if u know what i mean. They gave it a guaranteed bill of health and hes had no problems. All the problems were in the first month of having it.



Its really reliable, powerful, great weekend/cruising toy. Its a toy i know, but i want one and with the car situation settled i can get it. I was able to afford the R6 cuz of the fact its in my dads name and was a certified used. A new 636 + a car payment wouldnt have been smart or sensible. Now im all good!

hes ready for a bigger bike, but hes like 240-250lbs, im only 156, ill be fine with the 636 for a long time.

I'm thinking about getting a GSX-R 1000 as DD. Even though the only bike I have ever ridden was a stroked 50cc to 106cc. And even that was too fast for me...<_<;;
