I have a red 1991 Si, 5 speed manual. I'm debating whether I should fix it up or just get rid of it and get another used car. It's a great car, but it needs work. There are a couple of little parking lot dents. The red paint is dulling and fading. Except for the cloth on the driver seat wearing out, the interior is in relatively good condition. It just needs a good cleaning. The tires are good. All the struts need to be replaced soon, but they are okay for now. There is a slow oil leak somewhere. I forget where the leak is, but it's slow and the mechanic basically said the engine needs to be pulled out to replace some gasket - not an expensive part, but the labor is. Transmission might need a little work, but it seems to be fine. I haven't really kept up with the maintenance. Last time I had work done I spent about $1000 doing brake pads and major service. What would $3000 do? Is it worth it?

Keep it man its a nice car, even if it needs work, My car needed some work when i first got it i got a 91 civic SI it was pretty good, Now it has a combat body kit 17' konig wheels, lowered with coilovers and has a GSR engine, i pull 13's with my slicks man its lighter then any other hatchback keep it!! its a great car!

Sell it and by a fast car... Get an eclipse gsx and smoke all the hondas you want.  I have a civic with a Jacskon kit and my eclipse with minor mods will smoke it.
