And how is it more fun? At least the Vigors came with a manual (and weigh 30 pounds less

My buddy has a vigor. I envy him :bowdown:
not a lot of room in the back, no cup holders, but they're fun other than that.
BTW, they are a bit difficult to work on. But there's a mechanic in our area that specializes with Hondas and Acura's, and does warrenty work and shit like that, but isn't a dealership. Cheaper pricing, and they know the Vigor very well. If you get one, i suggest finding a GOOD shop to have maintenence done.

by the looks of it, the drain plug was installed using a 3/8" impact. $1200 quote to replace the oil pan. and that was giving a $200 discount.

What kinda rediculous amount is that!? By the way, there was a 93 Vigor this guy was selling... for only $2k, not much wrong with it at all... not sure why I didnt buy it... I ended up getting a '88 Legend for $800 and it needs work... DAMN

It's expensive because the axle on one side goes through the oil pan, you have to remove the sub frame, both axles, diff. has to come out. etc... it's a pain in the ass. 1200 is actually a good price. the job I did in my previous post was 21 hours of labor @ 90 an hour. He's getting a deal for 1200....
