I have or had a 99 civic EX also, check out the link in my sig, and go to members, then Derek's 99 civic. I motor threw a rod bearing at 71000 miles. I was preping the car for an H22a, bought everything that I needed for it, but then I couldnt find an engine that was 96 and up, or that was cheap enough for me to afford it at the time. So I just got rid of the car a couple of months ago, but I still have most of the parts if you want to buy something! Now I just have my 91 civic hatch with a B16a, a fun and reliable little car.
