Hi... I bumped to this thread today while searching for parts.
I have a "family owned" City 1.5 1997 5M/T, dark green like dark blue at a glance - bought new.
It was a nice car to drive until the family bought a new Civic 2.0 and the City is passed down to my brother or I would say abused by him.
Heard the car's plight and the fond memories with it, I took back the car for 2 weeks recovery. Here's my initial assessment of the car's condition after having it back for 3 days (in blue what I plan to do):
