Q: 99 Honda civic hatchback si?
OK so I’ve bing looking for a 99 Honda civic hatchback si online and i cant seem to find any.why is this and does anyone out there no where i could find one?
and i tried eBay and craigslist

A: That is because in 99 and 2000, the Civic Si was only made as a coupe. There was no hatchback available.

If you want a Civic Si hatchback, you will have to pick from the following years:
1984-1995 (88-91 generation shared the chassis with the Crx)
2002-2005

There was no production Civic Si from 1996-1998 and 2001.

The 1999-2000 version was only available as a coupe.
The current generation, 2006-today, is available as a coupe or sedan, but not a hatchback.

Q: suggestions for a body kit for a 1994 honda civic si hatchback?
i have a 1994 honda civic si hatchback and i’m thinking of putting a body kit on it, but don’t know where to start. what places do i look for body kits? are online stores a good idea? what’s a good price for a complete body kit (what’s too high or too low)? about how much should installation cost? is there anything to look out for? does anybody have any bodykit suggestions?

A: well depending on ur car color u can think about adding a carbon fiber lip to it and some simple type r skirts on the sides if they are available but i dont recomend body kits because if u damage them u need to be driving without a bumper for a while and stuff with lips jsut take them off and repair them

Q: 1995 Honda Civic radiator replacement : ATF cooler hoses ???
I am trying to replace the radiator of my 1995 Honda Civic Hatchback DX, auto transmission. There are already some very helpful answers on this subject. However, I have a couple of more-detail questions regarding the 2 hoses that connect the radiator and the ATU (automatic trasmission unit – They are called ‘ATF cooler hoses’ in the Honda service manual) :
1. I can not find to buy these hoses online. Are they special hoses ? What are they usually called ? Where can I find them at ?
2. They connect the ATU and the radiator. So what fluid are they conducting, the ATF or coolant ? If they conduct the ATF, will the ATF leak when I disconnect them ? Do I need to drain the ATF first ? How ?
Many thanks for the kind experts out there who are willing to help the newbies.

A: You can buy replacement hose at any parts house, They convey ATF through a separate portion of the radiator to cool the ATF. When you disconnect them a little will drip out put a catch pan underneath. Don’t forget to check your trans. fluid and top it off when finished. and since you are changing the radiator don’t forget the cap and why not the thermostat too.

Q: How do I replace the stoplight switch in a 1987 Honda Civic?
I was just told that the cause of my brakelights not turning off was a bad brakelight switch. I picked-up a replacement for the switch, but I am clueless on how to replace it. I have found guides online, but none of them for my car. I have a 1988 Honda Civic with automatic transmission and the hatchback body type. Can anyone lend me a hand. Also, if it is possible, provide visuals. I’m not a “car” person, but I follow directions well, so with much details provided, I can replace it easily. Thanks to anyone who can help.

A: If you follow your brake pedal up it is setup oon the arm of the brake pedal. Once you remove it you will see how the new one goes in. They usally only snap in with some circlips or the like. Simple in and out.

Q: Replacing a Honda Civic Serpentine Belt Tensioner.?
Hubby was driving to work and the serpentine belt on his Honda Civic Si 2002 Hatchback came off, luckly he was parking when it happened. This stupid car has been into Honda three times in the past couple of months and each time some other part has to be replace. (AC compressor, water pump) Now this belt comes off, and I find out that this belt is connected to both those parts, honda says to bad for you now pay us more. Anyways my question is how long can the car run without this belt (to get it to a shop without being towed) and is this gonna be costly? I can’t seem to find any prices online for the tensioner (which Honda also replaced), the belt is still intact so that probably doesn’t need to be replaced. Needless to say we are taking it to a different shop than Honda. Does anyone know how many “shop hours” will this take?
we spoke with the manager and we are contacting the better business bureau once we find out the exact problem from another mechanic. Honda is pretty much blaming it on the fact that instead of paying $300 for a water pump from them, we bought one for $100 from Lordco (which is still good quality and has nothing to do with the belt tensioner that im aware of). We have decided not to go back to Honda and if there is serious damage caused by them that they wont fix we will be suing them.

A: umm if Honda just recently replaced the tensioner, id talk to the general manager of the dealership and demand they look at it for free.

Q: Honda Civic 2000 sputters and stalls?
I’m currently having a problem with my Honda Civic DX 2000 Hatchback sputtering and stalling. It pretty much started 2 weeks ago, I remember I almost ran out of gas where the light just came on then, I filled my tank to full. I then drove a few miles and parked and shut off the car. An hour later I started it and it started to sputter and wanted to stall while and actually did a couple times while driving, but it always starts back up. I changed my fuel filter and already went through 3 tanks of gas with fuel cleaner and I’m still having the problem. It mostly does it during a warm start after driving it for awhile and I let it sit for an hour or two and I try to start it (sometimes it has a problem starting at that time) then it starts to sputter and sometimes stalls. I already took it to two mechanics and they couldn’t find the problem or it didn’t sputter/stall for them. What I’m seeing online is it could be maybe a dirty throttle body, ICV or my ECM?. I have after market exhaust, headers and air intake system. This vehicle have no codes showing up. Any suggestions? Thanks!

A: Check your fuel relay (AKA Main Relay), it’s known to cause warm starting issues in civics because it’s not soldered right on the inside and it creates a gap in the connections when it’s warm and the silicon board expands due to heat.

Q: Is there a place online where you can get a car body drawn?
i want a car drawn for me(no bumpers sideskirts ETC.) because i want to draw onto it and add bumpers and stuff to make my future car and if it helps i want a 1994 Honda Civic(hatchback)

A: Try asking at a Honda Dealers,i have searched and found nothing,sorry,.

Q: do you know of this hatchback?

Q: Wiring and ecu for vtec?
OK so I have a 95 honda civic hatchback and I’m replacing the old stock motor thats in it (d15b7 non vtec) for a d15b vtec. Now where I’m ordering is the cheapest I can find (I’m very low on money) and the description doesnt say it includes wiring harness for the new motor or ecu. So my question: what should I do about the wiring, I found the stock ecu online for the new motor, but can I use the same wiring from my old motor? remember its going from non vtec to vtec on the same d series motor, both obd 1 i believe, but im not sure what i need to look for to run the electrical considering vtec harness and ecu.
the only reason i decided on the d15b is because its one of the cheapest vtec motors i can find, my money is very low right now.

A: I wouldn’t recommend the D15 motor for a swap. You will want to find a d16z6 it is cheap and you open up alot more options for parts and internals.

The activation of the V-tec can be done with a switch to ground. But there are info forums online you can use to see more details.

Q: which car is better… please help?
so i am getting a new car and my dad and i have been looking at a few for a couple of months trying to decide.
i have narrowed it down to the honda civic, scion tc, and the mazda 3.
i initially love the civic because well civics are amazing… they have been around forever. but the cost is a little on the high side.
i drove all three and loved the mazda 3. my favorite.
but my dad talked to his friend who know his cars. (worked for one company) and said that the mazda is probably the worst out of all the cars. and stuff.
and i inititially ruled out the scion tc because i drove it and ehh.. its okay. i didnt think it was a smooth ride. and since it is a hatchback, the backseats arent that good. (not like i will be using them that much) but i can possibly get a discount on this car through someone we know who works there.
i will be starting college and i need a car that will last. but my dad had this limit he wanted to spend. (and sorry but you cant buy cars that great for the budget he wanted… and he kinda realized that)
so which car is the best for the money? which one would last me longest? which one should i get?
thanks

A: Best bang for your money is the Honda Civic. I love my Civic. It’s so reliable and gas mileage is awesome

A: I would try eBay Motors if you are looking for a “cheap” Civic. Seller service varies widely amongst the sellers.

You could also look in the local classified ads for old Civics for sale and try to find a nice owner, preferably another woman.

Q: where can i find cheap front struts for 2002 honda civic?
im fixing a car and looking for the cheapest 2002 honda civic front struts… i found them for around 100$ each.. are they cheaper anywhere else.. online stores?

A: Two sites you should check out
Its unusual for struts to blow out on a 5 year old civic. typically they’re good for much longer. usually you’ll have tire cupping as an indication of a bad strut. you can’t see when there is a gas leak from a cartridge but in most cases if the gas leaks out past a seal the oil follows shortly and you’ll find oil leaking from the struts is about the only indication of a ‘bad’ strut other than the tire cupping.

Here are two references for you; I’ve used both and they seem to have the best prices and service levels

autoparts warehouse
http://www.autopartswarehouse.com
they have KYB struts for $87. that brand is one of the best; also available through tire rack

Hope that helps

Q: Does anyone know where i can buy an extremely cheap Honda Civic Si?

A: check www.hondamarketplace.com and autotrader.

Q: Where can i find cheap Honda Civic 15″ Tires?
I’m looking to buy a full set of black tires for around $500 or less.

It doesn’t really matter if the rims are Matte Black or Glossy Black or anything inbetween. Just looking for black ones Thanks!
My whole Tire/Wheels are:
P195/65R15 89H M+S

A: TireRack.com has pretty great prices. I get several sets of tires for my Civics because having them shipped and locally mounted is cheaper than buying them at a shop. Depending on what you want, they range from about $50/each and up. Shipping is usually UPS or FedEx and for me shipping four tires was $50. Therefore, you could estimate the total cost of the cheapest set to be about $300. Having your max price of $500 gives you quite a bit of wiggle room there. The M + S in your question most likely means you have an all-season tire on there now. For your purposes (assuming you’re an average driver) you should steer clear of the High Performance/Summer category. Look for a High Performance All Season or any Touring All season. You typically can’t go wrong with the brands they offer. (my last set for my [civic] del Sol was the Sumitomo HTR+ and they have served me well.) Good Luck!

Q: Where can I buy a front passenger side window for a honda civic dx sedan for cheap online?
I am looking for a passenger side front window for my 2000 Honda civic dx sedan for cheap. I have checked the local junkyards and have had no luck.

A: Try ebay motors…

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=1&pub=5574690244&toolid=10001&campid=5336430272&customid=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg

If you don’t already have an ebay account, you should get one – it opens up a whole world of bargains. Just make sure you buy from a seller with a 99% or better rating and over 100 sales. I have never had any problem as long as I have followed those guidelines.
Good luck!

Q: What is the best deal for Extended auto warranty for 90-100k used 2002 Honda Civic and the price I can expect?
Is it cheaper and effective to get warranty through dealer? or online sites, like http://www.warrantydirect.com/. If I bought the vehicle from individual sales (not through dealer) then will it still be cheaper and effective to get warranty through them?

I know that most warranty won’t cover vehicle that has got milage beyond 100k.

A: There are so many ways to go with extended warranties that it is really your decision…benefits offered and prices vary all up and down the scale, so it would be best for you to look at as many as you “want” to, and compare the coverages/restrictions vs. prices…

You might try searching for a warranty comparison site too, I think they are out there in the ether world…

And yes, there are warranties over 100,000 miles, you just have to find them…

Oh, I’m in Phoenix, Az if that helps.

A: You should include all fees

Q: How to test if the transmission of the car is working without test driving it to the highway?
Is it possible for a mechanic to check if the transmission is working properly without test driving on a highway.

The reason im asking this is because I am looking at a used 2002 honda civic ex coupe. The seller take the plate off and put it on his new car. So theres no way to drive it on a highway or to a mechanic shop. Only thing i can do is bring a mechanic to check the car out.

The carfax report for the car is clean, but

http://www.carfax.com/car_safety/ratings/SRR.cfm/year/2002/make/HONDA/model/CIVIC/trim_id/2002HONDCPFCIVIC_EX

Transmission & Driveline An occasional problem on this vehicle is failure of the second gear clutch in the Automatic Transmission. This may cause the Automatic Transmission to slip, and the Check Engine Light to illuminate. Also, when the Automatic Transmission is rebuilt or replaced, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) software needs to be updated. The cost to replace the Automatic Transmission is estimated at $1800 for a remanufactured Automatic Transmission and $318.50 for labor. The cost to update the PCM is estimated at $65 for labor. All prices are estimates based on $65 per flat rate hour and do not include diagnostic time or any applicable sales tax.

Im afriad if the car has this problem. Is there any way to check to make sure the car is good?

Thank you.

A: look for another civic

Good luck!

Q: i can’t find Honda civic Si for cheap so should i just buy 2000 civic ex with D16y8 but can i make hp w D16y8?
if i can please tell me how, what parts to use and other bolt on parts. now i have 1997 honda civic ex. i just installed an exhaust system i took the cat out and installed a straight pipe. But it still have no power. im selling it. and ialso lower it about 2inches. i looks nice but i really wanted get s 2000 model civic.

A: Turbocharge it, you’ll easily make more power than a B16A swap, even with the stock engine (assuming it’s healthy). You could build your own kit for around $1,500, or buy a pre-assembled kit for $2,500-3,000. On top of the kit, you’ll need an engine management system, to pay a professional to tune it (for the most power and for reliability), and possibly injectors (if the kit doesn’t come with them).

Check out these sites, and take this idea into serious consideration.

Q: 2000 honda civic si? What Are Easy cheap Ways to Increase Horse Power on my car?
Any ideas besides intake and exhaust?

A: once your breathing mods are done i’d do the ecu, you could get a shop to chip it for your setup for a pretty low cost ($80 give or take) but don’t take it to just anywhere use a well known shop. other than intake, header, exhaust and ecu tune there aren’t really any other cheap mods with great gains, unless you consider cams, intake manifold, fuel pump, injectors, flywheel etc cheap, you can get some of these at a reasonable price but not real cheap. you could get a hondata intake manifold gasket for around $60, and if you don’t live in a cold climate you could bypass the tb coolant lines (for $5 maybe), that will keep your IM cooler, won’t be real significant but it is an improvement. some freebies would be getting rid of weight, and remove the power steering belt because that car is light enough to turn relatively easy without it. you could also remove the a/c belt (if you don’t mind the heat), getting rid of that parasitic drag won’t be a real significant change but for such an easy free improvement… why not. make sure your plugs and wires are in good shape but unfortunately upgrading them will not make much of a difference without upgrading the distributor, coil and so on.
hope i gave you a few ideas at least, keep in mind the mods i said you could do for cheap or free are not exactly wow mods but they are a step in the right direction without having to spend much money.

Q: where can i find a good 96 – 2000 honda civic engine for cheap in philadephia?

A: Best thing to do is call a big Honda parts supplier bec now a days you can order a used low mileage Honda engine from Japan and get it shipped for 400.00 to 600.00 in total.In Japan their smog laws are more strict so many vehicles there get scrapped with 90,000 kms or so on them and they test the engine fully before shipping too.

Hope that helps and best of luck.

Q: Why can’t I find normal/cheap exhaust parts for my 2000 Honda Civic?
no OEM (way over-priced), no high performance! I just want some cheap, normal sounding exhaust parts for my car. I want a downpipe, cat, and catback system. Please let me know where I could find parts like this cheap on the internet!

A: Those should be simple to find – but consider this – an aftermarket cat and downpipe will not significantly change the tone of your car, so you should consider the less expensive “performance” pipes and cats available.

However, you will not find a decent cat back that won’t change the tone of your car – the stock system is restrictive, and quiet because it is restrictive. Most aftermarket parts out there focus on performance. You should be able to piece together a system rather easily, however, and mate it around a decent, quiet muffler sized to the pipes you get.

I put together a “cat back” system for my Tacoma, stepping up to US size pipe using sections of mandrel bent pipe, straight pipe, and welding in a Thrush muffler to replace the obscenely expensive OEM piece. I could have just as well gone with a much mellower muffler, but I wanted cheap and reasonably sized. Point is – I spent about 60 bucks on all the parts, and I have a mandrel bent system that works.

Q: what is a quick, cheap and easy way to beef up my 2000 honda civic 4 cyl sohc std. shift? ?
the car has a header, exhaust, and cold air intake on it now and it need something. I am replacing the valve guides, seals, and timeing chain soon so i will have the head off of it.

A: well since your doing that you might as well go ahead and get some hotter cams and little bit larger injectors. its that or get a turbo or nitrous. you could port and polish but it wouldnt be worth it since it doesnt really net that much more hp if the ports are matched accurately already. if you wanted you could also get a new clutch and lighter flywheel. while those dont make more hp generally speaking it does free soem up with the lightweight flywheel and the newer and higher clamping force clutch will allow you to use more of the hp that the engine provides to the wheels. if you plan on getting a light flywheel be careful because you have to rev the engine higher to get the car moving compared to stock. all has to do with physics and rotating mass.

there is also the possibility of an itb setup but i dont know if there soem out on the market for stock civic engines (only guessing thats what you have)

anotehr possibility is an engine swap but since you already have I/H/E on youre money would be gone from those upgrades

Q: Where can I buy a front passenger side window for a honda civic dx sedan for cheap online?
I am looking for a passenger side front window for my 2000 Honda civic dx sedan for cheap. I have checked the local junkyards and have had no luck.

http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=1&pub=5574690244&toolid=10001&campid=5336430272&customid=&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg

If you don’t already have an ebay account, you should get one – it opens up a whole world of bargains. Just make sure you buy from a seller with a 99% or better rating and over 100 sales. I have never had any problem as long as I have followed those guidelines.
Good luck!

im really new at cars and just want to start off with the little things, i have a stock 00′ civic but i dont know where to start for the mods

p.s. can i just bring my car to the car wash and spray the engine with water to clean it or do i have to clean it by hand?

A: basic upgrades:
-replace the air intake- AEM is a good brand
-change/replace the headers- DC sports….etc.
-change/replace the exhaust pipes…two or two and a quarter inch is good
-buy a quick shifter
-coil over springs
-cams
-upgrade the clutch
-spark plugs and spark plug wires
-and a lot more…………you could either buy it brand new or used (craigslist.org)

*yes you can but try to avoid spraying the “electronic stuff” like the fuse box or anything that has to do with wiring.

I’m here n the Philippines and I was thinkng of buying a used 1999-2000 Honda Civic (SiR body). What would be the average price and which is cheaper in maintaining: Manual or automatic tranny?

A: About 10 minutes of looking it up on the internet, and researching the price for yourself, instead of expecting people to do your work for you.

Q: What is the best way to achieve lowering with great ride quality in my 2000 Honda Civic Ex?
I heard through my research that cheap coilovers and lowering springs cause a very bad and bouncy ride quality. I want to lower my Honda possibly 2 inches, not too low but want to get rid of the ugly gap on a decent set up of 16″ rims. I forgot the tire size but it’s not a big tire. Any help is greatly appreciated! any thoughts on camber kits, new shock, etc. would be helpfull!

A: Get good quality of lowering springs if you want to lower your car to ensure good quality ride. Also this will not ruin your camber and suspension. Try TEIN and JAMEX lowering spring for your civic. Hope this help!

Q: I need wndow parts for my 2000 Honda civic. Where can I get them cheap?
More specifically the front manual window regulator. I’m in Dallas Texas.

A: you might try a auto recycling yard (junk yard)

Q: Why can’t I find normal/cheap exhaust parts for my 2000 Honda Civic?
no OEM (way over-priced), no high performance! I just want some cheap, normal sounding exhaust parts for my car. I want a downpipe, cat, and catback system. Please let me know where I could find parts like this cheap on the internet!

A: Those should be simple to find – but consider this – an aftermarket cat and downpipe will not significantly change the tone of your car, so you should consider the less expensive “performance” pipes and cats available.

However, you will not find a decent cat back that won’t change the tone of your car – the stock system is restrictive, and quiet because it is restrictive. Most aftermarket parts out there focus on performance. You should be able to piece together a system rather easily, however, and mate it around a decent, quiet muffler sized to the pipes you get.

I put together a “cat back” system for my Tacoma, stepping up to US size pipe using sections of mandrel bent pipe, straight pipe, and welding in a Thrush muffler to replace the obscenely expensive OEM piece. I could have just as well gone with a much mellower muffler, but I wanted cheap and reasonably sized. Point is – I spent about 60 bucks on all the parts, and I have a mandrel bent system that works.

Q: Where can I buy OEM parts for my 2000 honda civic coupe ex?

A: Dealer
http://hondapartsnow.com/
http://www.rockauto.com/
Those are the 3 I always use.

There’s also eBay, just watch out for fakes or parts that may not be “new”.

Q: What parts do i need to convert a Honda civic 2000 automatic transmission into a manual transmission?
i just wanted to know how much it would cost, what parts do i need and were i can find them, i would appreciate it thank you

A: More than buying a manual car. The parts needed are the tranny, tranny mounts, ECU from the manual car, COMPLETE engine wiring harness from the manual car, flywheel from the manual car, clutch master cylinder, hydraulic lines, shift linkages, axles, shifter, shift knob, shift boot, center console to accept the shifter, the three pedal assembly because the automatics brake pedal is too large and too far to the left to allow travel of the clutch pedal, and someone whi has done this conversion before. I would HIGHLY suggest getting NEW parts for this because used parts are nothing but trouble. Our shop does this for between $5000-$8000 including parts and labor.

Q: what’s a good website to find performance parts for my 2000 honda civic si?

A: www.jcwhitney.com they have all sorts of performance parts for Honda and Toyota.

Q: 2000 honda civic part number?

I dont think any1 gona find the vin to b correct but dats wat came with the car
thanks for any help/advice

A: Call a Honda dealership and talk to the parts department. You can describe to them what you’re talking about and they will give you a part number if you ask. It helps to act like you’re interested in buying something too.

Q: will parts for a 99-2000 honda civic fit a 94 honda del sol?
fenders exaust, front and back seats. all cosmetic not like engine or anything

A: no del sol parts are different than both the 5th Generation Civic 92-95 (EG) and the 6th Generation Civic 96-00 (EJ/EK).

you can do the front end conversion if this is why you are asking, exhaust is prolly similar, but not the exact same.

Q: Where are the oxygen sensors located on a 2000 Honda Civic?
Firstly, let me apologize for the length of this question. But, I’m having trouble figuring out what to do. My fiancee has a 2000 Honda Civic. Her Check Engine light came on just recently. We hooked it up to a diagnostic machine that told us we had a/some bad oxygen sensors. The guy at the auto shop recommended a spray that is supposed to clean “gunk” of engine parts. He said if we spayed it and the light goes off, we have saved ourselves a lot of money. But, I don’t know where the sensors are in order to try it. I know very little about auto mechanics. So, if you know the answer, please state it as if you were speaking to a kindergartener. Thanks in advance for any help.

A: if you,ll look on the exhaust manifold and start following it down you,ll see the first one,then follow it down some more and you,ll see the second one,it should have two on it ,honestly what he old you wont really work on it though,when those go bad they have to be replaced,there’s no repairing them like he said,and even if it does make the light go off,you,ll have to get the trouble code erased,and i guarantee you it will come back on again,id just replace them and be done with it,that’s the best way to handle this,good luck with it.

Q: Where can you get stock honda parts? I’ve been looking for some 2000 Civic Si wheels and cant find em.?

A: PartsTrain.com I have dealt with them before for parts for my Toyota. But they have all different cars on there..

Q: Where can I find a photo of a standard 2000 Honda Civic muffler assembly with a part number?

A: I suggest searching local junkyards. You should be able to find them on the web. I suggest a site like www.yardquest.com or www.partrequest.com.

Q: how much horsepower will these give my 2000 honda civic ex?
i bought this civic and it came with dc racing exhaust and greddy hedders. i think this car 127 horsepower stock how much do you think it will have with these additions? i want to know because i plan on putting more aftermarket parts on it.
to john d, what do you reccomend i get?

A: 10 is probably correct, maybe slightly more, if you really want beneficial hp increase you have to increase air supply and fuel supply as well, think of it as a balancing act. sure you will get some increase by doing one or two of these things. but to get full potential you need to balance all three together to get as much out as possible individually

Q: I have a 2000 Honda Civic Hatchback dx and i want to swap my automatic transmission to manual. Wat do i do?
Tell me what do i need to get or do. Or any websites i can get the parts from.

A: you cant its cheaper to just buy the manual version

Q: what kinds of motors will fit a 2000 honda civic dx coupe?
My engine just blew and im looking for one thatll fit. Please give me expected prices and aditional parts that would have to be changed in order to fit it.

A: D16Y7 1.6liter is the one that should be in there, anything that is OBD II and D-series will fit in there.

many civics that year swap out for the more powerful B series motor but it involves changing transmission axles computer etc.

so depends on how much you are willing to spend.

little bit of money: get a D16 non-vtec
average D16 VTEC
more money B16 or B18 or H22 prelude motor.
really rich get a turbo k20a2 turbo.

Q: i can’t find Honda civic Si for cheap so should i just buy 2000 civic ex with D16y8 but can i make hp w D16y8?
if i can please tell me how, what parts to use and other bolt on parts. now i have 1997 honda civic ex. i just installed an exhaust system i took the cat out and installed a straight pipe. But it still have no power. im selling it. and ialso lower it about 2inches. i looks nice but i really wanted get s 2000 model civic.

A: Turbocharge it, you’ll easily make more power than a B16A swap, even with the stock engine (assuming it’s healthy). You could build your own kit for around $1,500, or buy a pre-assembled kit for $2,500-3,000. On top of the kit, you’ll need an engine management system, to pay a professional to tune it (for the most power and for reliability), and possibly injectors (if the kit doesn’t come with them).

Check out these sites, and take this idea into serious consideration.

Q: I drive a 2000 honda civic sedan FWD automatic transmission. It is a great car but very slow. What motor and?
modications can I put under the hood to get 250 Hp of performance without going turbo or supercharged and how much will it cost for the motor and parts? How much will it cost for installation.

A: What you really need, is torque. Horsepower is just a number calculated based on torque. It’s a common misconception, but basically horsepower is just an imaginary unit.

Another thing to consider, is horsepower versus wheel horsepower. If you start with a vehicle, such as a Honda Prelude, with “200hp”, you actually only have around 140 or so at the wheels. Adding an Intake, exhaust, the normal things…will increase you to around 160, but will not increase you to 220. Your engine stays at 200, until you alter the actual engine.

In any case, sell the car. Buy another car that starts off with higher performance, and one that isn’t FWD. Even if you end up making the power you want, the FWD will start causing traction and steering issues.

Q: I need help finding 1999 Honda Civic EX parts?
I have no idea what this part is called. But I am looking for the part where all the knobs go for the air conditioner and the radio and all of that stuff. Its right in the middle ha ha. In the car where the radio and the air conditioner knobs go its empty. So does anyone know what website I can go to so I can purchase this part??

A: try checking out Honda Acura.com . They specialize in nothing but Japanese cars..

Q: what do I need to put stage 3 cams in a 1999 honda civic?
I want to put some stage 3 cams in a stock 1999 honda civic ex what parts do I need for that and is it worth doing?

A: its worth it if its the B16A2 engine, D14/15/16 yes do it but you won’t get near the same level of performance as with a B16.

Stage 3 camshafts are very agressive, you would need to upgrade your valvetrain first particually if you have VTEC, adding better, stiffer, valve springs and higher lift valves. the standard valves wouldn’t cope with stage 3 cams for very long, an upgraded exhaust and intake manifold/system is needed to get the most of cams also.

put simply stage 3 cams are designed for purpose race-built engines, that have high rev capabilities, stage 3 would be WAY too agressive for a standard engine. compression and engine flow must be increased and significant engine work would need to be done to run them properly, and they would
NEED to be tuned in properly — seriously don’t want your valves hitting your pistons etc!

it would be worth it with a long term project, people have pushed 500bhp out of civic’s — but thats after ALOT of money spent…don’t get stage 3 cams on a stock motor….

Q: What aftermarket parts should I add you a 1999 Honda Civic EX before I add a turbo charger.?
I already have a Flow Master exhaust system with headers and ram air. What other aftermarket parts should I add you get it ready for turbo.
Also I was wondering how many pounds of boost would you recomend.
Im actually thinking about an engine swap also before I do this. I was gonna look to swap it with an SI engine.
This car has alot of after market parts on it already. I can probably get around 8000 easily for this. I won a contest at a race track and they hooked it up for me. It has high performance breaks, shocks, and much more.

A: Below is a list of parts you should add to your car BEFORE making a transition to turbo. Note: this is for a stock EX.

- Fuel Pump 190 or 255 walbro
- Fuel Regulator
- Fuel Rail
- New Clutch
- Brakes — a MUST!!!
- Suspension
- Your flow master should be at least 2.5 in diameter
- Spark plugs wires 8.0 –> 10.0mm
- Aftermarket Distributor rotor, Distributor cap
- Bigger Radiator aluminum
- Slim radiator fan
- Stronger CV Axles
- LSD (for take off)

I would recommend 6lbs of boost on your set up because it sounds like you going to be running your car on a stock motor. This would keep it safe from detonation. One word of advise TUNNIG is the key for a good reliable turbo car.

Q: 1999 Honda Civic Coupe 3M Tape Window Visor Installation?
i just bought some window visors/ deflectors for my 1999 honda civic coupe. and they use the 3m tape. i was wonderng how do i install these. do i just simply tape the visors to the top of the window or do i somehow stick it into the rubber parts. or how else do i install and also have it installed stable using the 3m tape that was provided. thanks

A: If the 3M tape is the double-sided adhesive tape you need to attach the wind deflectors directly to metal. Be sure to remove any wax and dirt from the metal that you are attaching it to by wiping the area that you are applying the tape to with isoprophyl alcohol. If the tape came with the air deflectors then it should be sufficient to hold them in place.

Q: 1999 Honda Civic EX engine swap question?
How much would it cost to put a 1.6 B16A2 Honda Civic SI engine in a Honda Civic. Would I have to make any major adjustments or would it fit right on the original mounts and everything hook up fine? If not what other parts would I have to buy.
Also I was wondering the same about a JDM B18C Spec R. Would that fit and how much would it cost and what would i have to add/replace to get it working.

A: It depends on the current spec of your civic now, it most likely would have a D-series engine, so changing to a B-series means changing the ECU along with the gearbox, driveshafts, harness and wiring loom. You should be able to put the engine strait in — no need to change mounts. If you have chipped keys (spare red key if you have) then the B16A2 ECU won’t work with them, so you will need a PCT ECU (or other JDM ECU, but PCT is advisable) of the B16B engine, they can be picked up for around £100. You can find a complete package, box, engine, loom, dizzy etc for around £800-1000 with about 60,000miles, labour will be alot though, it depends on your local garage rates. If you get a complete set, or a donor Si, then its a strait forward swap, my mate did his in two days.

The B18C will require more work, same applies, Gearbox, harness and so on, but the engine mounts will need to be strengthened, they don’t need reponsitioning (at least from what someone with the swap has said) and the ECU will work. The B18C Integra engine will cost around £2000-2700 for the complete engine, then add on labour, so it will cost alot.

Best advice i can give is join a forum like HONDA-TECH or HONDACIVICFORUM and ask advice of those who have done it — they can tell you what works and where to ovoid trouble.

Q: Turbo Suprcharger question Honda civic vti?
Hi.

I have a 1999 honda civic si (vti in the uk) and i am planning to supercharge it .. I read that if you do a compression test and leakdown test and they are ok you dont really need to rebuild your moto..
Both of the tests went ok however my moto has 130.000 mph and i was thinking to rebuild it If i am going to put a supercharge it .
What are your thoughts on that?
If i do rebuild the engine can you recommend parts (compression forged pistons,head gaskets etc) or companies that specialize on engine parts for 1999 si .. i looked at greddy but on their website they didnt have much for my car…

It seems that the most popular supercharger are JR and Vortex .. however i live in the uk and i was wondering if you can guys can recommend a company that specializes in the uk as for both of the above brands you can only get them in the U.S.

What gain (BHP) shall i expect to get from each supercharger (average)?

A: You’re going to do an engine rebuild and supercharge a car with 130k miles on the clock?

Save your money and buy a better car.

Q: 1999 Honda civic engine swap?

A: If you want the most improvment in power then rebuild it with as many improvment as you can afford
Otherwise just bolt-on a blower and hope for the best, you can probably pickup another engine from a scrap yard for a resonable price if it blows-up Jap engines are pretty tough

Q: Cost of repairs on a 1999 Honda Civic 5 door, in UK?
My car needs:

4 new shock absorbers
2 CV joint gaiters and
2 trailing arm rubber bushes

I have been quoted £1200 plus VAT for parts and labour…the guy was apologetic and said he didn’t think it was going to be that much…but that was his quote.

I would love to hear from any Honda owners who have paid for similar repairs. Even at £60 an hour for labour, I was surprised by the amount.

Many thanks.

A: The 2 CV joints are a pain to change. They may take about 4 hours if they run into problems. Try another chop and compair the prices. Remember if the mechanic doesn’t see to many honda’s you will have to pay a higher price. They will not be able to complete the job as fast.

Q: Grill gone off Honda civic, how can I secure the hood from being opened?
Someone took the front grill off my 1999 Honda Civic EX. Now, I’m worried that they have access to popping the hood and taking the more expensive parts of the car. Is there any way (temporarily) to secure the hood from being popped open until I’m able to purchase a new grill?

A: Well even with your grill on if they want to take anything out of your car they will. and your latch will stay latched so it wont come open on its own unless they took the latch off with it.

Q: Just had timing belt changed by dealer on honda civic 1999, did I do it too early?
75Kmiles-1999 civic– The dealer did the timing belt service/3 other belts–ps/compressor/alternator and 4 spark plugs. i paid $715 did i get ripped off, or is this an average rate? I am not mechaNICALLY INCLINED , so i had to have the honda dealer do it. Also is it bad to ask for old parts after completion of service, to verify that teh serviec was done? Thanks alot.

A: Timing belt should be replaced every 90,000 miles or every 7 years whichever comes first. Since the car is over 7 years old, it was past due. Different manufacturers recommend different times to change timing belts. Subaru says to do it at 60,000 miles. If you try to go 90,000 on a Subaru you will most likely end up breaking a belt. Years ago I owned a 124 Fiat sedan. Fiat timing belts were to be replaced every 25,000 miles. I know someone who had one break at 23,000.

I have owned many Hondas and have always gone 90,000 miles between belt changes. I presently drive about 20,000 miles a year so that is every 4½ years.

The price you paid is reasonable for a dealer. An independent mechanic may do the job however, for half that price. You did NOT get ripped off. Also, there is no need to ask for old parts on a preventive service like this but the dealer should not be upset if you do. That is your prerogative. Asking for the old parts is a wise thing to do when a mechanic or dealer tells you that you need a repair which is suspect rather than a preventive service that is due to be done. Better than asking for old parts is to ask to see the defective part while it is still on the car. Depending on the part this may not always be possible. Some parts will look the same whether they are good or bad, such as electrical parts. So sometimes seeing the old part makes no difference unless you can test it. Brake pads can be seen without removing the pads. You will need to remove a wheel however. A dealer often has old parts lying around. How do you know the parts they are giving you came from your car? You need to find someone you can trust to work on your car whether it is a dealer or an independent mechanic. Ask around and find out who other people use and why.

Your next timing belt should be changed at 165,000 miles or 7 years from now = October 2015. If you get rid of the car before then, do the next owner a favor and leave a copy of your receipt for this service in the glove box. Black out your name and address etc. if you want to protect your identity. Or simply leave a note that says “timing belt was replaced at 75,000 miles in Oct. 2008 by [your dealer's name]“.

Q: 1999 Honda Civic Lx front end intermittant knocking?
My old dependable civic (250,000 miles) has developed a knock that I have been unable to diagnose. After driving for about 30 to 45 minutes the front end develops a variable knock from the right front side. It tends to knock anytime, but usually when braking or turning. The pitch of the sound varies from very light to very loud. Steering and braking is unaffected by the occurrence. I have checked the right front side several times. The suspension is tight with no play in the wheel. New parts within the last year include: rebuilt trans, right side half axle, right side outer tie rod and front struts/springs. I would appreciate any insight with this problem.

A: In keeping your Honda Civic ride safe and stylish, bumper plays a huge role. Bumpers are basically a steel, aluminum or rubber shield that is mounted on the front or rear end of a vehicle. It functions in preventing or reducing physical damage to the front or rear end of the vehicle in case of low speed collisions. It protects the grille, hood, trunk, exhaust, cooling and fuel system as well as the different light assembles. The efficient and reliable service of your bumper can significantly help not only in keeping you safe in your car but also in saving you thousands of dollars in repair and replacement expense.

Honda Civic bumpers are crafted from high grade materials for product specifications that match the structural requirement of your car. Incorporated with cutting edge technology, it offers long service life that lasts for miles and miles of driving application. As it functions as a protective covering for your car, it is custom molded to match the protection and performance requirement of your vehicle. But aside from its functional service, bumpers also make for an effective exterior styling part. It customizes the front and rear look of your Honda ride to give it a distinct look. The stylish and elegant appeal that the bumpers offer will surely make your ride a sure head turner on the road.

Innovations in bumper features have now made it more efficient and durable. Strength and rigidity are incorporated in its design to enable it to resist the crushing forces of low impact collisions. Modifications are allowed in today’s bumpers to strengthen the assembly and enhance its look. Available in several styles, colors and designs, you get to have wide choices when it comes to bumper replacements. But still proper maintenance is the key to keeping its reliable service for thousands of miles.

Q: Which tires should I put on my car?
My 1997 Civic DX needs two new front tires and I don’t know which ones to put on (didn’t put the first ones on, only driven this thing 20,000 miles). I live in salt lake city so I drive in slush/snow often. I’ve used discount tire in the past to install them, and they are recommending the Goodyear integrity tire. I looked up reviews of the tire online and I’m hearing it’s not that great. I would rather wait a week and order a good tire that works well with my car than get crappy tires now. Or am I being paranoid about that tire and the idiots who say it slips all the time in the rain?

Anyone know a decent tire that is hopefully $60 or less a piece that works well with a ‘97 Honda Civic DX?
My tire size is 185/65 – 14

A: The Goodyear Integrity sucks, especially in slush, snow or ice. Avoid any tire place that actually recommends these turkey’s.

P185/65R14 85S is one of the most popular tire sizes on the planet. Your choices are limited to just a few hundred different models but your budget narrows that more than just a bit. The General Altimax RT or Kuhmo Solus KR21 would certainly be much better than the Goodyears. Those are perfectly decent tires for the price. My favorite is the highly reviewed Pirelli P4 Four Season which might be a couple of bucks over your planned budget but is worth every penny.

Q: Is $11,700 a good deal for a 2010 Corolla S?
17,700
-1000 discount
-1000 student discount
-4000 trade in(no questions asked)
—————–
Total $11,700

The trade in is a 1997 saab that barely runs. Carmax offered me $1200 for it.

Was this a good deal? I left cause I felt pressured and I want to look at a Honda Civic before deciding. What do you all say?

A: If you can fit comfortably in it and like it buy it.

Q: How Long Does A 1993 Honda Civic Last?
I saw this car for sale for $1,150. I suddenly got excited because thats pretty cheap. The problem is the milege is 210,000 miles. I don’t know how long Hondas run. I do know that they are reliable and cheap to fix. Should I just wait for another car?

A: thats alot of miles. but it all depends on if the car was maintained. a car that was well maintained will last forever, ask for records of any major work done on the car. if your not to good with cars ask someone more experienced to take a look with you.

Q: where can i find a cheap F20 motor for my 93 Honda Civic?
i have an 1993 honda civic ex with the stock d16z6 motor and tranny in it but im tired of not having the power and performance i want so im upgrading to an F20 and i want to bulid it up please help me figure out what i will need and where to get it for a resonable price

A: 666777 was partially right on this subject. If your looking to swap in a F20c, or F22c. However If your looking to swap in a F20B then it wouldn’t be any harder than a H22 swap. The H22 and the F20B are pretty much the same motor with few differences. The F20B engine came from the Accord SIR From the european market.They are a front wheel drive platform. Here is a link for a swap kit. Beware they are not cheap!! these engines are great for tuning.

Q: My 1993 Honda Civic has a bad left front bearing. How hard is it to take it out myself??
It is much cheaper to do take the front axel out myself and then have them press it. But I have never taken apart a front wheel drive car before. How hard it it? Any tips about this fix? How do I know when I need to get the wheel bearing fixed asap??
Thanks!

A: Here’s a page from a Repair Guide that shows the procedure, with pictures. Towards the bottom is for ‘88-’95 models. You can click on the pictures to enlarge.

Once they start to get noisy, they can pretty much let go or seize up at any time, so best not to let it go too long. If they get real wobbly, it can also damage other parts.

Q: CAN I SWAP AN h22a4 OR AND H23 ENGINE OF A HONDA PRELUDE INTO MY 1993 CIVIC?
OK I HAVE A 1993 CIVIC AND I WANT TO SWAP A 1997 HONDA PRELUDE MOTOR AN h22a4 IS IT POSSIBLE? AND WILL MY CAR PASS EMISSIONS IN INDIANA WITH THE SWAP …. I HAVE HEARD YOU CANT SWAP A 2.2 MOTOR INTO THE PLACE OF A 1.6 MOTOR ?? DONT KNOW IF THAT IS TRUE ALSO WANT TO KNOW IF I COULD SWAP A 1993 HONDA PRELUDE MOTOR IF SO WHICH WOULD BE A BETTER AND OR CHEAPER SWAP?

A: Swap Info 5th gen 92-95 civic H22a H23a

Trans: All 92- up Prelude 5 speed trans and 92-up Accord trans. Trans with ATTS will require major wiring mods.

Mounts: Hasport mount kit M92- H22-10

ECU: Use ECI that came with the engine with proper mods to wiring. For 96-up engines either back date eletronics and use appropriate OBD1 ECU or use adapter harness and make proper wiring mods.

Electrical Differences: CX and VX need to convert to a 4 wire O2. Non-VTEC models need VTEC solenoid and VTEC pressure. Add EGR solenoid and EGR valve except for VX. All models modify stock harness to fit, add air intake by pass wiring, and add knock sensor.

Axles: Use 90- up Accord Intermediate shaft with 90-93 Integra axles. To use Prelude intermediate shaft a short left hand axle with a female inner joint must be used. To construct the proper left-hand axle use 94 GSR left-hand axle inner and outer joints on an 86-89 Integra axle shaft.

Shift Linkage: These trans use cables instead of linkage. The shifter mechanism and cables from these vehicles may be used, 90-up, Accord 5 speed or 92- up Prelude 5 speed cables and linkage. This will require some cutting and drilling.

Upper radiator hose: 90 Integra LS, trim to fit

Lower radiator hose: 94 Del SOL VTEC

Throttle Cable: 98 Prelude

Clutch Hydraulics: Stock

Special Instructions: THe mounting bracket on the right-hand frame will need to be removed or it will interfere with the shifter assembly. A thin fan or pusher fan will have to be used with radiator. Radiator should be upgraded to a Del SOL VTEC radiator for increased cooling.

Special Considerations: Suspension and brake upgrades a good idea. The H22A is 175 to 185lbs heavier than stock D-series drive trains and 85lbs heavier than a B16A drivetrain.

www.jdmsource.ca this is the best place to get a good motor/trans for cheap with shipping.

Hope this helps your decision!! Good Luck !

Q: What are some types of cheap reliable old cars?
I’m looking to buy an old car around $3000 for my first car. What are some reliable old cars? 1993 honda civic? 1991 mazda mx-3? Anyone that has a good knowledge of cars please help! Thanks!

A: civics, carolla’s, camrys basically the japanese cars are pretty reliable.

Q: Honda engine swap for a civiccc!?
Okay, so I picked up a 1993 Honda Civic LX for SUPER CHEAP, and I wanna go 250hp with it. It has the stock 102 hp motor or the stock 132hp motor, no clue, its a junkyard motor and I want it out of my car.

So what’s some good performance motors for the civics? I know H22A’s are common in prelude swaps, but would that work with the civic? Let me know.

Also – I don’t need your opinions on me buying the car, I just need you opinions on what motor will be best, I don’t need to be told I shouldn’t have bought the car.

Thanks guys!

A: If your going to go with the H22 look up the H2B conversion (B-series tranny on H block) Apparently it makes it a lot easier. I have only swapped in a B16 and it was very easy. I’ve heard swapping an H22 is harder. I would suggest throwing in a B18a or B18b out of an Integra (cheapest option) then turbo it. The H22 will give you quite a bit more power though. Don’t put a K20 in, it’ll end up costing you like $10k.

Q: Suzuki Sidekick 93 + Toyota corrolla or a Honda Civic 02 for a 17 year old new driver?
I need some financial advice.

What would be cheaper? Considering that this car is for a 17 year old.

Option 1:
Buy a 1993 Suzuki- Sidekick 4 door with 100k miles for 1,500
Then buy a Toyota Corolla for 5,000 when that car breaks down.

Consider:
The 17 yrs old is a first time driver which is why I am thinking of getting her a old car so the insurance won’t be too high.
Once the Suzuki breaks down her insurance would have lowered. Estimating that the Suzuki last 2-3 years.
The Corolla that I would buy her after the Suziki dies would be a used maybe around a 2005.

Option 2:
Buy a 2002 Honda Civic- 2 Door w/ 98k miles for 5,500.

Consider:
Insurance would be thought the roof because this would be a somewhat new car, 2 door, for a 17 year old new driver.
My math

[Suzuki Sidekick 1,500] + [Insurance 1,000 * 3(years)] = 4,500

[Toyota Corolla 5,000] + [Insurance 700* 5(years (thinking it would last another 5 yrs b/c it will already have 10 yrs))] = 8,500

13,000

[Civic 5,500] + [Insurance 2,000 * 3 (years)] + [Insurance 700 * 5] = 15,000

Consider:
I am estimating the insurance/ per year and the amount of time the cars will last- they will only be used to go to and from school.

What do you think which Option would save money?

A: You can call up your insurance agent and they can quote you what it would be for each car which might help make your decision easier.

I’m all for you people having to drive older cheap vehicles, unless they have saved up money to buy a car. It’s a big responsibility and they don’t always realize how big it is or the money involved.

But with that, make sure the car is very safe if they get in a wreck. Unfortunately the chances are pretty good and I wouldn’t want to put them in something that isn’t as safe as another option I was considering.

Q: What are the best used cars for under $2,000?
I’m looking into buying a used car in the near future, but my budget will most likely be less than $2,000. I’ve been researching cars on Craigslist, and here are some of the models that I’ve seen for under $2,000 – a lot of these cars have between 125,000 and 150,000 miles on them – and some have about 200,000:

1990-1992 Toyota Celica

1990-1993 Honda Civic

1994-1999 Fort Taurus

1994-2000 Chevrolet Cavalier

1994-1997 Saturn SL

There are also some other models out there, but these are pretty much what I’m looking at. There are a lot of Taurses out there, but I hear their trannies are really bad after 100,000 miles. Currently, I’m leaning toward the Toyota Celica – seems to be a little cheaper than the Honda Civics, but usually with less miles.

At any rate, any feedback and suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

A: avoid any car with 200K

you’ll find all of these cars needing repairs or major overhauls in the near future or imediatley.

you better off spending more money say $4,000

for cars like these

98 Acura CL
98 Ford Mustang V6
98 Honda Accord or Civic
98 Nissan Frontier or Pathfinder
98 Subaru Impreza or Legacy
98-00 Toyota Corolla or Echo 00

you’ll save money in the long run

Q: wire harness?
were can i find a cheap engine wire harness for a JDM B16 v-tec for my 1993 honda civic? and the ECU?

A: The cheapest would be from an Auto wrecker, but you would have to do some searching. There are also some wrecking yards online that might be able to help you.
