Honda Civic

A: Well for regular matience and motor parts just go to autozone or something and if you cant find what you need there try junk yards and if you still do not have any luck put up the cash to buy straight from honda

Q: i want to modify my honda civic 1993 for street racing also what parts should i get?
honda civic 1993 and i will spent 1000 euros

A: I know you want to go fast but there is a certain order of things you need to do. First is bringing the car back up to Stock specifications. That means making your car like new again. I know your thinking WHAT?! Trust me on this man. When you start upgrading your car for performance, and the rest of the car isn’t up to par there is a ripple effect. This ripple effect causes many things to happen. When you upgrade your performance you go faster, but when you go faster you must stop faster too. So now that you have to stop faster your stock brakes will not suffice. Your going to need front Acura Integra spindles they will bolt right on including brake lines. When brakes are upgraded you’ll notice alot of slop in your steering when you brake hard. The slop you will feel are your old worn out bushings. Do you see the ripple effect here? After you replace all your bushings you’ll notice that your suspension is crappy. After you replace your springs and struts, you’ll notice that your rims are tires need to be upgraded.

Listen man if you can grasp anything im talking about let it be this . . . For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction, even if your unaware of what that reaction may be. If you swap or upgrade your motor you will be unhappy with your car because it will be so unbalanced.

Coming from a tuner (myself) I started out with a stock 95 civic VX. I upgraded my interior, then brakes, followed by the suspension then bushings, then swapped out my motor. Anything less then a d15b (jdm VTI motor) or a d16z6 (usdm Si motor) isn’t worth upgrading. Any d series swap into your civic is plug and play. I also suggest you have a plan for upgrading your civic. Follow my outline or find another one similar.

All the good street racer cars are practically new. Ive basically rebuilt my entire car. I’ve only got the tranny left to rebuild as i have already rebuilt my d15b, and entire suspension. After the tranny rebuild im piecing together a turbo kit.

email me if you have any civic questions i’ll be glad to answer them. i_am_four_all@yahoo.com

Q: Can i install civic aftermarket parts on a 1993 Honda Del Sol?
would da parts be compatible on da dels sol engine?

A: Great question:
Most parts will be interchangeable. Specifically

Engine parts: Intake, header, Intake manifold, fuel rail, and injectors.

Exterior parts: Believe it or not the del sol and civic front lips interchange!

Driveline: Transmission same if both are d series (sohc). clutches, axles, & wheels.

Brakes: all the same or interchangeable.

Suspension: Struts, springs, swaybars, and strutbars.

Interior: Steering wheel, drivers aribag, seats, shiftknob, & shifter.

The parts that you have to know the specific model that won’t changeover unless they are the same: i.e. both sohc Vtec or both sohc non vtec models: cams, valve cover, ecu, and distributor.

Hope it helps,

Q: How much does it cost to have (labor and parts) these things done to my 1993 Honda Civic:?
How much does it cost to have (labor and parts) these things done to my 1993 Honda Civic: Replace oil pan gasket; Replace head gasket; Replace cam seal; Replace piston rings; Replace thermostat and seal; Replace intake manifold gasket; Resurfaced cylinder head with valve adjustment.

Help. Need somewhat accurate estimate of what these 7 things should cost (labor and all). I was charged $1300 for all of it. From what I know, the mechanic was being very generous in this price. I’d like to give him a thank you card. But unsure if that’s “okay”.

Keep in mind, I did need the head gasket and head replaced/resurfaced because it blew. He mentioned I may want to do the rings as well. I said ok. After I got the bill for those three things, there were like 7 things listed that he (mechanic) did. I don’t think I was charged a lot… I think he did a lot of extra work for free. Like the thermostat? For all I knew it was fine. Help me understand what it all (these 7 things) should’ve costed.
One other thing… yeah, old car and high milage. $1300 lot to pay for old car repair; however, I had to. Not enough $ for car payments. (Sigh)

A: Oil pan gasket is about $20
Head gasket is about $50
Camshaft seal is about $7
Piston rings are about $80
Thermostat and seal is about $20
Intake manifold gasket is about $15

Parts alone costed him a total of about $192. Just look up these parts online at your local auto parts store. You paid him about $1108 for labor.

I would have only agreed to pay just $100 for the work of unbolting and rebolting these parts back together. Anyone with the tools can buy a honda civic service manual and follow disassembly/assembly instructions.

I think he overcharged you 4x than what would have been reasonable – but that’s business as usual for most mechanics.

Good luck!

Q: I have a 1993 honda civic with a 1.5 and I was wondering how much parts from a 1.6 I can put on my engine…
My motor is a d15b7 and I am thinking of using parts off of a d16 motor. I know parts will fit, but i dont know how much or what parts will fit. any and all help will be appreciated thanks.

A: Transmission, intake manifold (with fuel rail and injectors as well), sparkplug wires maybe, pistons should be.

You can’t swap much between them. Cam’s are different, valve cover is different, distributor, and valve train and other internals are different as well.

Q: 1993 Honda civic owners,do you know where i could locate d16a9 engine parts for my four door sedan? ?

A: NY-NJ-PA-CT = www.b20vtec.com
CA, NV, WA = www.honda-tech.com

Q: How to install an A/C in a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback?
My boyfriend has a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback that he loves, but there’s one problem – we live in Florida and the car has no A/C. It is starting to cool off now, so we are just fine with the windows down, but once summer comes, it will be unbearable. So, what is needed to install an A/C in his car? What parts does he need to buy?

Thanks for your help.

A: With a 15 year old car, it is unlikely that the cost of adding A/C would be lower than replacing the car with a newer, A/C equipped car.

If you’ve ever looked at new cars, you would have seen that options come in two varieties: manufacturer installed and dealer add ons. Some options (pin stripes, stereos and such) often pop up in both categories. Others, like A/C are never dealer installed because, if possible at all, adding them on after the car is built is simply too complicated an endeavor.

Adding A/C to a car is far more complicated than you seem to be expecting. Adding A/C to a house is usually a simple affair involving plopping an air conditioner in an available window and plugging it in. With a car, it’s very different. First, since the layout of engines varies so much from one car make/year to another, there’s no such thing as a “one size fits all”: you would need air conditioning made for that model/year of car. Since the condenser is powered by the engine, rather than the electrical system, it doesn’t just “plug in” either. Car A/C uses the vent system’s air ducts as well, so there’s that to consider. In all, if you can even get the parts, you are looking at several thousands of dollars to add a/c to a car.

Q: Should I buy a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback?
I found a 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback for sale at $1700. It has 230,000 miles on it, but the owner claims it has been meticulously taken car of by replacing many parts under the hood that usually go bad after reaching such high mileage. I’m a college student that drives mostly on the highway and in need of a car with great gas mileage, which it has. And the exterior seems to be in okay shape for the year. He is asking $1700 but is willing to negotiate. Any advice on this would be appreciated. Thanks.

A: i managed to get a 93 civic sedan with only 55k on hte stock motor and trans, for only 2000. i love how people think their hondas are made of gold or something. keep looking you can find one with half the miles for maybe 2500 and the person willing to negotiate… just remeber no matter the asking price cash talks

Q: What kind of performance parts do I need for my ‘93 Honda Civic 4dr 1.5L SOHC?
I want to increase the performance of my SOHC 1.5L 1993 Honda Civic 4DR and if also body kits.

A: unelss you’re doing autocross where you need the additional downforce, body kits are for ricers and attention starved kids.
best bang for your buck? do an engine swap to either a d16z6 or d16y8 (if you want the ease of stayign within the same series of engine). almost a 30 HP gain just from switching engines (you can get either one for less than a grand used, including wiring harness and ECU.)
if you dont mind doing more work and swapping out a few more parts to make it work, you can get better bang for yoru buck by switching to a b18c1 (6-800 used in good condition)…its about a 70HP difference.
otherwise if you want to stick with your d15 theres 2 ways to go about making noticeable horsepower for it: NA or FI.
NA you’ll want to get high compression pistons, do the normal I/H/E (intake, headers, exhaust), lightweight pulleys, a port and polish, get more aggressive cams, and a tune. you wont see very good gains though even with all that work, maybe 25HP.
if you go FI then witht he d15 you’ll want to build your block: full ARP studs and bolts (the CR ratio on your engine is already fine and unless you’re pushing a lot of boost the stock honda pistons/rods/walls are strong enough), the turbo itself, and ofcourse a tune. i wouldnt try to break the 175 mark with your engine though unless you get rods/pistons/sleeves.

Q: I want to convert my 1993 honda civic LX from automatic to manual transmission?
how much would it cost for a mechanic to this? will i need to buy the parts my self first?

A: Not practical at all. Get another car.

Q: Which is the number 1 spark plug on my 1993 honda Civic. I have trouble starting it could it be the module?
The sparks plugs also have oil on them first time I have seen that in three changes since i’ve had it. Could it be that? Help anyone please. Keep buying different parts for it thinking it will solve my problem.

A: if your having trouble starting it when it sits in sun all day or after a short run then wont start it needs a f/i main relay. for oil around spark plugs change valve cover gasket and tube seals,it comes as a kit from most parts stores i dont think thats your no start problem but fix it anyway. honda tech 11yrs.

Q: 1993 honda civic hatchback. where can i find part on the internet.?
not ebay. just sites where its cheap to get accessories and body parts best answer gets 10 pionts.

A: If your looking for stock parts there is www.d-a-p.com and carparts.com. Don’t know if your looking for stock or aftermarket parts.

Q: What is the best auto parts store for ordering Honda Civic car parts?
Ihave a Japaneese spec. 1993 i want to do some modification. These parts are difficult to find and I also want it shipped to the Caribbean…so i need some help 10 pts!!!

A: Hey you might be interested I wrecked a 1995 civic & have a pair of Honda Civic SLR x1 fenders for $200.00, a Spydur Wing Soiler for $200.00 & TYC elegante power mirrows (pair) for $30.00. All brand New still in the box. Fits 2 door 92-95 models. Just looking to get my money back out of them. E-mail me if this helps.

Q: I have a 1993 honda civic dx with a 1.5 ltr engine, when it gets hot out the car won’t start.?
My 1993 honda civic with a 1.5 ltr engine wont start when it is very warm out. I have had this problem for the last 5 years. I read someone else’s posting saying to hit the dashboard on the drivers side because the fuel pump relay is in there, but I have gone to other sites looking to buy that part and it turns out that the relay is actually built into the fuel pump from what I gather. What do I do? And is the fuel pump relay in the dash or the fuel tank with the fuel pump?

A: Should be mounted to the side of the metal frame in front of the drivers door a little into the dash. Here it is for 24.00 on ebay. Thats what it looks like also. If this doesn’t fix the problem, change your ECU. Any questions, e-mail me.

A: I do not believe it will because it is a different generation.

96-00 Honda Civics are universal to each other, whereas 92-95 Honda Civics are not.

Q: how much would it ruffly cost for me to get a head lite for my 1998 honda civic ex…?
keep in mind that the stat were i live doesnt charge sales tax so idk if that makes a difference….

A: It might be unlikely to get a new head light. You may have to go to a junk yard. You also can’t just buy the outer lens you have to buy the whole head light bezel. They go for about $25.00 and up depending on where you live. It takes about 45 min to remove and install. I don’t know where your from so I can’t give you a labor cost. I live in Ct. and the labor cost is between $65.00 to $175.00 an hour. If you can order one from a dealer ship I don’t think it will be any less than $75.00 and up.

Sincerely yours,
Fred M. Hunter

1998 Honda Civic coupe, 5spd Manual tranny, manual everything, sohc engine, 120,xxx miles, and with some minor customizing/modification/aftermarket stuff.

All work was done by previous owner/s, except for the spoiler and the front and rear strut tower braces, which were done by me. my work is quality but previous owner/s i’m not impressed with. There is a gauge pod with 3 gauges and there is also an aftermarket tach. they were all hooked up when i bought the car, but only the tach and temp gauge worked properly. i don’t think the previous owner/s knew how to wire things properly because a couple of the gauges didn’t read right and also, how ever they had it wired, caused the car to go dead after a couple of days of sitting….. so i cut all of the wires that they had ran to all of the gauges and that fixed the dead battery problem!! lol. i haven’t had time to go through it all and rewire, so it will need redone IF you want them to be functional. I bought the car just to drive it and i wasn’t really concerned with all that extra stuff so it never bothered me. i bought the car for a daily summer time driver for some manual transmission shifting fun!
it will also need a new speedo gear…. somedays it will tell you your speed, other days, not…. lol. should be a cheap fix.
also, the bumpers and the spoiler have been painted (again, prev owners) with i’m guessing spray paint or painted but never clearcoated and buffed…. i’m not sure. those items look fine from a distance and look great at night, but would need resprayed to look really nice.

AFTERMARKET: front bumper, eyebrows, black/chrome rims with 2 matching spare rims, rear spoiler, modified trunk (which is illegal according to the nice policeman, which is why the license plate mounting looks funny – see pics), strut tower braces, cold air intake, muffler. Oh, i’m also running PULSTAR plugs in the engine and it runs GREAT. if you don’t know what those are, look them up… sweet technology.

The car runs and drives VERY nicely and i thoroughly enjoy cruising around in the summer with it…. but i’ve decided to move on from it and get back into Jeeps and 4×4’s. It just has a few minor “cosmetic” issues, but they do NOT affect the driveability/functionality of the car itself. Body condition overa

A: They all look pretty crap to me!

Q: IS this a scam on craigslist for buying a car??/?
I am just going to copy and paste what he wrote me:
I think I covered everything in my ad, but again this is a 1998 Honda Civic EX Coupe, with clear title, 100,500 miles on it, 4 Cylinder 1.6 L engine and automatic transmission. Very clean inside and out. The price I want for it is $890. I took an exceptional care of this vehicle and the buyer of the car will be very happy with it. The VIN is 1HGEJ8241WL040632.

The transaction will be closed only through a 3rd party and this way we will both be protected. My time is limited due to my job, so I decided to use the Vehicle Purchase Protection Program offered by eBay Inc. They handle all the paperwork and collection of selling price, and will hold the payment until you verify the civic is as described and want to keep it. I have already enrolled and paid all the ne cessary fees. To begin the transaction I’ll need your full name and shipping address.

Look how the program work:

1. I will forward the details of our transaction to the eBay Security Program.
2. They will process the paperwork and will email you the Payment Invoice and the transaction details.
3. You will have to submit the payment, as instructed to one of the eBay agents.
4. The payment will be verified and if everything is OK, I will ship the car to your place on my cost.
5. After you receive it, you will have 5 days to inspect and test drive the car.
6. If you accept the vehicle by confirming to eBay, they will send me the payment for the car. They
will then FedEx overnight the signed title to you. If you decide to NOT accept the vehicle for any
reason, they will refund your full payment price within 48 hours. They will then make the necessary
arrangement to have the car picked back up by the vehicle transport company.
Please let me know your position, I have many potential buyers for the car.

P.S : Please don’t forget to send your full name and shipping address if you are interested to buy so I can open a transaction at eBay for our sale.
How do i report it???

Low Miles but a 12 year old car?!
the dealer said he’d include sales tax, registration, license, etc all in the total price. He also told me I can test drive for a few hours and take it to a mechanic. How do I get the dealer to lower the price on the car? It’s OLD I want to pay $4800 for it. I’ve been car searching for SO long and I want a Toyota or Honda Civic.

A: You also should compare car insurance quotes for cars before buying one, for example here – carinsurance.deep-ice.com

i drive a 98 honda civic 4 door sedan if that helps.

A: Any of these units below will fit your car:

Q: Where can I buy a 1998 Manual transmission Honda Civic within 150 mile radius of Bolivar Missouri?
I need a 1998 Honda Civic Coupe Mannual transmission that is less than $6,000 or $6,999 any thing lower would be fine. Just needs to be within 150 miles of Bolivar, Missouri.Zip(65613)

A: Ebay, retard.

Q: Keep my 1998 Honda Civic or buy a new car?
I have a 1998 Honda Civic with 168,000 miles. The car is paid for and is starting to have some issues. It broke down in Feb and it cost $400. It is in the shop now and I’m not quite sure what is wrong with it yet. My dilemna…do I:

A. Keep the civic and get the work done. I may need more repairs down the line…timing belt, shocks, ???…who knows. This route will be the cheapest but provides the most uncertainty with reliability and repairs.

B. Sell the old one for around $2,000-$3,000 and use this as a down payment. Get a new Civic and not have to worry about the repairs… the payment would be around $200/month. This route is the most expensive and has the most certainty.

C. Get the car fixed for now (depending on how much it will cost)…save a bunch of money for a down payment, hope that nothing else goes wrong with the car and try to sell the civic in 3-6 months. This option proves a little risky as well.

What would you do?
Other work that has not been done yet includes: Clutch, water pump, Cat converter…not sure when these might go.

A: The rule of thumb is that if you are expecting to put more than $2,000 into the car over the next 12 months, then you should get a new car.
I don’t know what maintenance has been done to the car in the past or what needs to be done (except timing belt and shocks), but I am guessing at 168,000 miles, you are also in need of a new water pump, maybe a transmission/clutch (or at least a transmission flush), radiator flush, and anything else that may go wrong with a car with that many miles.

I have heard of Civic’s going 300,000 miles+, but every car is different. If you are taking it to the mechanic every couple of months, not only is it expensive, but also time consuming.

Personally, if you can get a new Civic for $200 a month, I would do it. You have a much better looking car, piece of mind, and you won’t spend your time in a repair shop.

- Clutch will run about $600
- Timing Belt will run about $300
- Since it is an old Civic, the exhausts and extension pipe usually go about every 3 years, so that will be about $250.
- Water Pump will be about $150 (if you keep the car fix this when the timing belt is changed and you will save on labor).
- Shocks will run you at least $300.

That is over $1500 right there….plus, your time is worth something, I am sure. Get the new car if it is financially possible for you. This car has served its purpose. You only live once. $200 a month won’t bankrupt you. Just make sure you call your agent and check what the insurance rates on the new one will be before you buy….just to be safe.

Q: If I buy a 1998 honda civic with 133,000 miles for $2895…?
Is this a good buy? I’m in the process of buying my first car so your answers are appreciated. Thank you.

A: Baring anything being wrong with it, it sounds like a really good price.

Also per page 142 of the owner’s manual, the timing belt should have been replaced at 105,000 miles [rather than 90,000 which was recommended for some time for older models]

Q: what is the solution for rust in the bottom parts of honda civic 1998.?
I buy honda civic 1998, but i find that all parts in the bottom of car are rusty. also there is a sound from wheels when i use brake????????????? help me what should i do??

A: for rust removal & repair, check out KBS.

Q: what is the fastest engine that you could buy for a 1998 Honda civic ex?

A: Ok this is just like the 96-99 Sentra, they had a 200sx which was the SE-R the the old days. the biggest they had was a 2.0L SR20DE engine which spat about 140 horses.

Since you have a civic, I don’t think you should go beyond a 2.0L. Originally you have a 1.6L (although i am not sure if you have a 106 HP or the 127 HP VTEC). Either way its not bad very fuel efficient engines if you maintain them properly.

Now the fastest and the biggest engine you can put for a 4 cylinder is from a Honda Prelude. Their biggest engine was a 2.2L with around 185 to 220 HP. you would also require a transmission change from the prelude as well. Not only prelude but you can also put bigger engines from the new Civic Si, Acura RSX.

Honestly the new civic si would be a better option despite the fact that there are many aftermarket parts available + hope you know how to drive a stick, its worth it.

You can put a V6 in a civic as well, some have done it but its alot of work. wouldn’t recommend it.

Civic Si Acura RSX Honda Prelude

These are the engines you should be looking towards and make sure you change your transmission.

Good luck!!!

Q: 1998 Honda Civic EX Oil Change Intervals?
I bought my 1998 Honda Civic with about 98k miles, and it didn’t come with any owner’s manual. So I am not sure what is the recommended mileage for changing the oil? I know I use 5W-30 oil, cause that what it says on the oil cap. And if anyone recommends a certain brand of oil I am open for any suggestions.

A: Car manufacturers use to recommend every 3,000 miles but now some of them are saying your car can go to 5,000 miles before an oil change is needed.

You can order new owners manuals for your vehicle online!

Q: 1998 Honda Civic DX 2door, 80K, no accident, 1 owner. $5000. Is the price is ok to buy or still expensive?
Recently I would like to buy a used car. 1998 Honda Civic DX 2D, 80K, no accident, 1 owner. The price is $5000. Is the price ok to buy or it is still too expensive? Thank you!

A: Here is something very IMPORTANT that you must always remember. The value of a car always depends on its condition. If this 1998 Civic that you mentioned is in great condition with no mechanical problems, then it is worth more than $5000. Take the car to a mechanic and check it out. A good Civic with 80K miles should last you a lifetime of driving fun. But that all of course depends on the condition of the car and how its taken care of.

Q: Is better to buy a brand new Kia Rio under warranty or buy a 1998-2002 Honda Civic with 80,000-100,000 miles?

A: And the answer is….a 10-20000 mile used car coming out of fleet service, these cars are eligible for manufacturers service contracts which always use NEW parts to cover any service claim, not used or rebuilt—-CARMAX service policy, and most other non factory.
You should find a very fuel efficient dependable car, might have to search a bit for an import since most do business with U.S. manufacturers, but regard less the best buy

Q: What is a good body kit for a 1998 honda civic while still maintaining good ground clearance?
Looking to buy a honda civic between 1996-2000 and need to find good body kits that i wont tear up from them being to low to the ground. I would like about 5-6 inches of clearance if possible. I need everything, front and rear bumper and side skirts. Help!

Q: Where can i find a good body kit for my 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback DX?
I just bought a Black 1998 Honda Civic Hatchback DX and wanted to know here i could purchase a good body kit for it?

A: Justin, whats your budget? Reason why I ask is because you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on a body kit from Japan for your 96-98 Civic (EK) Hatch such as Air Walker, Back Yard Special, C-Westin, J’s Racing, ETC., you can pay a fraction of that by buying a replica body kit manufactured by VIS Racing, Duraflex, companies like this already have (Cwestin, Buddy Club, Air Walker) style made for your vehicle. I personally have a VIS kit on my Nissan and am very happy w/ it, I made my purchase through http://www.iatuner.com/ and they gave me my VIS Vertex style kit for an awesome price. Hope this information helps.

Q: Toyota Corolla 2000 vs Honda Civic 1998?
Hi
I have the option of buying a 1998 Honda Civic EX(85,000 miles) or a Toyota Corolla 2000(85,500 miles). After reading reviews on edmunds, the Corolla has worse reviews.

Anybody has any hands on experience with these cars?
Any advise would be appreciated

A: I think, Honda Civic is better and more powerful.

Q: Iam looking to buy a honda civic vti 18i (1998-9model) good or bad move please help ?

A: Very good car, bulletproof engine, plenty around that have had mature owners & will have been fully serviced & cherished. Ring around Honda dealers or check their website: A lot of people are very regular customers & part ex one Honda for another – at ten years old, a dealer won’t want to sell these cars themselves & should let them go pretty cheaply.
The 1.8VTi 5 door UK built Civic has 167bhp. It has very similar 0-60 performance to the Jap built 3 door 157bhp 1.6VTi (8 secs) but will do a good 10mph faster at the top end.

Q: Which to buy? 1997 Toyota Camry or 1998 Honda Civic?
Hello I am about to purchase a car for my girlfriend, and we are deciding between a 97 Camry LE and a 98 Civic LX. Both cars are priced exactly the same at around $3000. They are both in great shape and have about 140,000 miles. I would like to hear from people who have experience with either car. I would especially like to know if these cars, (being 10 years old) could be trusted on road trips. And finally, do you think these are good prices? Thanks for your help in advance!

A: I’ve owned a few civics and they can’t be beat. I’ve gotten over 250K on two (2001 & 1995), and a third one (1997) has 360K and still going strong. My 97 Civic has only had the clutch & 02 sensor replaced. You do have to make sure that the timing belt is changed per Honda instructions and the oil changed religiously. I think that is the key to their longevity. Camry’s are good, but their gas mileage is not as great. You also have to factor in that the Camry is roomier and does have a better ride than a civic.

A: go to google.com

Q: What size of wiper blades will fit my 1999 Honda Civic SiR?
I have tried every web site online and I can’t find specs for wiper blades for my particular model. If you can add a web site where you got your info, you’ll get added points in my book for best answer. By the way, I’m Canadian, so for all you Americans the correct trim level would be Si, not SiR.

A: For the 99-00 Civic Si (SiR), the correct size is as follows:
500mm for the driver’s side
450mm for the passenger’s side

If you are looking for OEM wiper blades from Honda the part numbers are:

76620-SH2-A02 (driver’s)
38472-SB2-305 (passenger’s)

Q: 1999 honda civic ex short ram intake?
I am looking to install a short ram intake into my 99 civic, haven’t decided if i will by one online like an AEM or Injen or if i will just go ahead and build my own like i wanted from the start. I’ve searched all over online for a diagram of the stock intake just to get an idea of what tubes are going into the intake and what i do with them when i install my new intake. Could anyone with experience just let me know what tubes are what and where i need to put them? thanks a lot
John S, thanks for the reply, but by not worrying about the stock intake do you mean i don’t need all the other tubes?

A: If you’re looking to make your own piece by piece then you don’t really need to worry about the stock intake. As long as you have room for the piping you can put it there. The idea of course though is to stay away from areas where there will be hot air, most applications just install it to the left of the engine (passenger side). Here’s a good picture to give you an idea:

Correct, if you’re installing an after-market cold air intake you don’t need any of the original tubes. Just take them out and install the new ones.
Good luck

Q: Honda Civic 1999 LX 4D Empty Weight.?
Please Please Please help me out. I need to know the empty weight of my car to go to the DMV. And you know how crazy the DMV is. I’ve been looking online(google and yahoo) and am empty handed. Please and Thanks if you can help.

A: The curb weight is 2357 lbs., while the gross weight is 3091 lbs. I’m not sure which you’ll need. The sticker on the car should match this gross weight.

The difference between curb and gross is as follows:
Curb weight: weight of the car with no passengers or cargo
Gross weight: the maximum weight the car is designed for when fully loaded with passengers and cargo

Q: Purchased a Car that came out to be stolen can i sue ?
On thursday morning i saw a ad on craigslist for a 1999 honda civic ex 5speed for $2000 firm … i call the guy and told him if you can bring it down to me and if it was in the conditions he stated it was i would pay him the $2000 .. he brang the car i test drove it .. i check the vin compared it to the vin on the panels and inspection stickers on the car .. everything matched up perfectly .. i had the title to the car i park the car in my driveway .. i go to geico .com to add the car to my policy to insure. the next morning i go to DMV in elizabeth nj to register and transfer the title to the car under my name . They tell me that the car has been reported stolen out of paterson nj ..I went crazy .. i tried calling the guy back he didnt answer my calls.. i went online and saw he had more add’s with the same phone number for motors transmissions doors parts to many cars for sale..so i went to the house of the person that was on the title he didnt live there anymore . a lady there gave me the phone number to the land lord of the property which knew the original and real owner of the honda civic..i talked to her and she said the car was stolen from paterson nj .. i told her i paid $1850 for it last night and that i had the title and everything .. So by this point i already knew that the guy that sold me the car was definitly not the owner.. So i called the guy that sold me the car under a different phone number posing as a new customer to purchase one of his motors and transmission he picked up quickly when he saw a new number! so i told him i would meet him with a flat bed or a mini van to pick up this motor… i went to paterson police spoke with the sergants and detectives and i explained to them that i had an arrangement to meet the seller of the car to get more parts .. i also expalined to them that i am in the sellers eyes a new buyer .. so we parked at the location that the guy wanted to meet .. the same 3 people that came to deliver the car when he originally sold it to me all showed up with him .. and the cops did a big surrounding around the car they were in a old 1993 beat up nissan pathfinder which turned out to be stolen aswell.. then the motor and transmission they intended to sell me was in the trunk of the car… they were all taken to paterson police.. the car i purchased got taken buy paterson police.. They are investigating why the original owner of the car would even leave his title in the car no one does.that .. i wanted to know if under the curcumstances.. can i sue the guys that sold me the car for fraud or what can i sue them for including the acomplices they had .. and what about the original titled owner of the car/? i am out of $1850 ..

A: yes, you can sue the guy who sold you the car. and don’t be surprised if the “real owner” is a party to a fraudulent insurance claim on the vehicle. Work with the cops on this one. It’s your best shot at getting your money back.

A: The front rotors will need to be hydraulically pressed onto the hub. The pads themselves are very easy to replace. If your husband has access to a press or has a press you can have this simple task done for about $100 USD. It should only take about 30-45 minutes as well.

Q: What other engines would fit my 2000 honda civic if i wanted to engine swap?
Hi i am looking to engine swap my 2000 honda civic (coupe) and don’t know what other engines fit its body. Like what engines from other stock cars and/or and turbo or improved engines made for the civic are there?
thanks.

A: Any engine will fit any car. i have seen a CRX (really small honda) with a V8 in it. it was a beast. i would go with the K20 as well or second choice a B18, or H22. all three are great engines.

Q: Can a 2000 Honda Civic handle a HID kit without a relay harness?
I have a 2000 Honda Civic EX and plan on installing an 8000k HID kit. I have researched around and it is not necessary to have a relay harness, but there is a chance of making the stock harness stop working. For anyone that owns a 97-00 Civic, can your stock harness handle the HID kit without a relay harness?

A: Hey friend, an H.I.D kit consists of a set of ballasts (bulbs), wiring harnesses and ignitor boxes. In order for the kit to properly work on your vehicle, you have to have all three componets. There is no way around it. If you try to hardwire it into your current headlight harness, you can potentially fry your electrical system. Even cars like BMW, Benz, Range Rover whatever that have HIDs or Xenon lights have those three componets. Your working with your car here. Why shortcut something and risk destroying your project and transportation? Hope this helps happy tuning.

Q: What else to enhance the horsepower of a 2000 honda civic ex?
I have a 2000 honda civic ex coupe model. Its a manual transmission. I am trying to enhance the speed. So far, i have a short rim intake(aem brand) & a decent looking exhaust. I want to add headers to it also. What else can i do to it? Also, if anyone can knows of any websites where i can obtain info & get cheap prices. Thanks

A: You probally already know this, but remove any thing you can live without. spare tire,jack, glove box liner.any thing. loosing 100lbs is the same as gaining 10 hp. 10 FREE hp. Good luck.

Q: Can anybody please help me find my 2000 Honda Civic radio code?
I recently replaced the battery in my 2000 Honda Civic, and now the radio doesn’t work. The radio prompts me for a code to unlock the radio, but I don’t have the code. From what I’ve found searching online, this is a common problem.

I have searched all over my car for the code sticker, but all I could find is what I believe to be the radio serial number. Is anybody able to tell me my radio code from the radio serial number? M98N355810

Thank you!

A: Im a moderator for www.crvoc.com and we get that all the time, here is the link to honda’s retrieval site https://radio-navicode.honda.com/

just follow the prompts on their site and it should work, but im not sure i have not tried it, and i own a 2000 honda cr-v. but most likely the dealership will have it, or there should be a sticker inside your glove box, or so i have heard.

Q: How can I improve the speed and acceleration of my 2000 honda civic?
I own a stock 2000 honda civic and want to improve its speed and acceleration, what are the first things i should do?

A: it depends on your wallet really.
the best way to increase horsepower is to install a nitrous kit (aka NOS by some ppl)
another way is to install a supercharger or turbo charger into the car.
any of these methods should increase the total horse power of you car from 30-50%

another way is to do an engine swap. depending on what engine you currently have an engine swap might be a good way to increase your cars speed/power.

Q: Lost the key to my 2000 Honda Civic. How can I start it?
I want to sell my 2000 Honda Civic since the transmission no longer works, and I’ve lost the key. Some people have come by and asked me about the car, but I want to be able to show them that it works fine, other than the transmission. Is there anyway that I can turn the car on?

How do I get the vehicle to remain on? Is there a prob with wire connection? do I need to add a relay?
And the manual does not show any information on adjusting timing

A: read the manual there should be a set up for the timer.

Q: How do I install a rear bumper cover on a 2000 Honda Civic?
The rear bumper cover on my 2000 Honda Civic cracked (got hit from the rear lightly, which damaged the plastic nonetheless). Thanks in advance for any pointers!

It’ll give you instructions with illustrations on how to change out the rear bumper.

Q: how do you fix the power outlet under the radio in a 2000 honda civic?
I have a 2000 honda civic. My power outlet or my cigarette lighter, how ever you wanna call it, is not working. I plug in my cell phone charger and my gps charger in it and it does not work at all. Im wondering if it could be from a fuse that has gone out or something else.. If you know anything on how to fix it and how much it would be to get it fixed, please give me an answer.

A: The first thing you should check is the fuse…

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: Is there a Flowmaster muffler that will work with my 2000 honda civic?
I looked on some websites and im not sure which ones will fit onto my car
Its a 2000 Honda Civic Ex Coupe

A: flow master and magnaflow are designed for v6 and v8 cars. you can get it for an inline4 but it will sound really bad. what you can do is get some headers, get a resonator and have a muffler shop make you an exhaust for your car at about 2.25″ with the resonator on and it will give you a deep sound. if you go with flowmaster or magnaflow you will end up with a high pitch sound and you will notice a slight rattle as it is not really designed for a 4 cylinder. i went with a thrush 31″ resonator and i love the way my civic sounds now. you really have to play with it though and see what kind of sound you like.

Q: What are the best initial upgrades for a 2000 honda civic for under $1000?
If i have $1000 to spend on my 2000 honda civic, how should i spend it to get the best power improvement?

Alternatively, is there any way to spend that $1000 to improve its overall fuel efficiency?

A: intake, headers, exhaust. the 3 basic and common upgrades. they also increase fuel efficiency. also, upgrade your ground wires. use thicker wires to better ground everything. a grounding kit isn’t necessary, as i’ve seen friends of mine just use thicker cables to ground and it does the same job as the ’sun’ kits.

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: 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.

A: HI . . .
The luxury sedan Honda Civic can take you to a thrilling top speed of 210 kmph. For more details non this car . . .try the following link

Q: Is it possible to use the Honda Civic Type R 2004 headlights on a 2001 Honda Civic hatchback?
I have a 2001 Civic Sport SE Vetec and would like to change the headlights to the Type R 2004 headlights if possible. Also, If anybody knows the model number to the official Honda Type R headlights, that would be most helpful.

A: if you have the 2001 7th gen shape (EP) then yes, they should fit, the 6th gen shape continued to halfway through 2001 (EM1), so if its the 6th gen shape, then no it won’t. (by the way its VTEC)

I Don’t know the model number im affraid, but the type-r lights shouldn’t be any different to the SE ones, apart from the JDM type-r headlights, which have smoked effect internal plastic, just search on ebay, my advice is ask at a Honda dealer, and just make sure they will definately fit — honda may have changed mountings or fitments between 2001-2004, or even a slight re-design — im not 100% sure..

Q: How to find out if my 2001 honda civic lx 2d has a keyless entry system?
I am trying to find out if my 2001 honda civic lx 2d has a keyless entry system already installed. I was wonder if someone could tell me where to look in my car to see if I have it. I have power locks so i dont know if that means anything. Also if im pretty good at installing things is it easy to install if i buy the system off line? Thanks for your help!

A: the 2001 Civic LX did not come with the factory keyless entry as standard equipment. It was available as a dealer installed accessory. The easiest way to tell if you have it, provided the original owner didn’t lose it is to see if you have a remote transmitter. If you have an oval shaped black key fob with lock and unlock buttons that says “honda” on it, you have keyless. If you don’t have the fob it may have been lost but the overwhelming odds are that you don’t have keyless entry on it.

With patience you can install the factory keyless remote system with little problem. I have the instructions from the one I put on my 2005. They are the same system. I bought my kelyess entry system through my honda dealer shortly after I bought th car. The install kit should still be available.

If you would like a scanned copy of those instructions to install the factory system you’ll have to send me an email with a real email address. I cannot attach a file to a Yahoo Answer. to do that, click on the icon above my name to the left of this answer and click on ’send email’. include your return email address in the reply and I’ll send you the instructions.

You may want to price the system before you decide to do this. there are aftermarket systems available at stereo shops and alarm installers as well as at Best Buy, circuit city and others that are probably much less than the Honda system. Plus, they’ll do the intall for you.

Hope that helps

Q: Is a guy driving a 2001 honda civic a turn off to women?
I’m 30 yrs old & drive a scratched up 2001 honda civic…
Is a guy driving a car like this a turn off to girls?
Is a guy having a nice car important to girls?

A: As long as you can handle the stick, you’ll be fine. lol

I think your Honda shows good judgment. It’s practical, functional, the vehicle type is very long-lived, and you can afford it.

A nice car will attract nice girls. If you want to attract superficial, snobbish and spoiled girls, buy or rent a BMW and go way into debt. But that isn’t you, is it?

Good luck with your love life.

Q: How Does A 2001 Honda Civic Handle In The Snow?
I’m considering getting a 2001-2005 model Honda Civic, I know they are reliable and last a long time, but I have no clue what they’re like in winter weather. I live in northern Vermont so we get lots of snow/sleet/freezing rain and I’ve always had a 4×4 car so this would be my first front wheel drive car. I’d obviously get winter tires, but how are Civic’s in snow or ice?

A: same as anyother front wheel drive /ok i guess

Q: what’s the best way to soundproof a 2001 honda civic?
I’m trying to figure out the best way to soundproof (or just quiet) the road noise in my 2001 Honda Civic 2/door. It’s kinda loud at 70mph. All answers that are legit are appreciated, especially those from others who’ve done it already. …Undercoating, additional carpet, new carpet pad, etc, etc???????
Thanks
Rick

A: Plain and Simple…….

Take out all the carpeting, and paneling and Dynamat it. Dynamat is mainly to keep your car from rattling due to the power of a system. But the reverse effect is also good it will keep sound out. This will provide a nice smooth, and queit ride perhaps some Bach to enhance the experience.

Q: What is the average miles per gallon on a 2001 Honda Civic?

A: 32/37 city/highway or 32/39 on a manual depending on the engine, 31/38 with an automatic. Users on the fueleconomy.gov Web site have reported an average of just above 34 mpg, which is just below the combined 35 mpg predicted from an average of 55 percent city and 45 percent highway driving.

How much would it cost?

Engine: anywhere from $200-$1000
Exhaust: $400-$600
Lowering Sport Springs: around $150
Paint: not too sure, probably around $600, you’d have to ask a shop
Rims: $300-$700
Underbody Neon: $130
In car Neon: around $150
Interior: around $2000 probably, you’d have to ask a shop.

Total: between $4675 and $6120.
With the charges in labor and whatnot, probably another third of that, if not twice.

It adds up quick. Hahaha.
Hope this helps you a little.

A: If your looking for OEM Honda replacement parts, a dealership can be expensive. All oem parts are available w/ diagrams showing detailed pieces (small bolts, plastic pieces) on www.TheHondaPartsStore.com . If your looking for larger pieces (brake rotors, calipers, brake pads, radiator, etc) a lot of the parts are found in AutoZone, and are quite good. I would reccomend autozone if you dont really care about the brand. Personally I have to get all OEM, if not, repitable aftermarket racing parts for my Honda. Never settle for cheap parts if your budget can surfice. Be good to your honda, and it will be good to you =) Hope this was helpful!

Q: I need to repair or replace the transmission in my 2002 Honda Civic (122k miles) Which is the best option?
-Repair the tranny (which is covered 2yrs/24k miles) $2500
-Install a used tranny with 22k miles on it $2250 installed (6 mo parts coverage)
-Install a used tranny with 74k miles on it $1250 installed (30 day parts coverage)
It is manual.
I had two different places tell me a similar thing. With similar price options.

A: there all way to expensive and being an 02 model there should be a good few trannys floating around, its only around $200 – $300 depending on where you go to replace a tranny, find your own tranny, the auto repair shops put about 30% on top of cost price, but in your case its sounds more like about 150% on top, call local honda or asian auto recyclers or any second hand/used parts supplies and ask them for a price you may have to haggle abit but they will come down in price, they often do, find a good one and call a workshop and ask them how much to fit a tranny and that you have one already and i guarantee you, you will be pleasantly surprised what the total is..

Q: which type of octane gas should i use on my 2002 honda civic?
i’ve been using regular 87 octane because i have no performance parts just stock.

Q: How do you open the door panel of a 2002 honda civic to get to motor or window regulator? Please?
How much does the part cost and is it tough to do?

A: you take out the window switch, inside mirror trim, and the screws, and pull the panel off. Motor and Regulator are one unit, It has a cable type. If the cable failed, you probably have drag from the window channels, you will need to clean/ maybe replace them too, or you’ll kill the new one. unless the civic’s an si, the whole unit’s only about $75. for an si, it’s about $225.

Q: Help with a honda civic 2002 broken tail light cover?
I’ve got a busted honda civic 2002 passenger side brake light cover.

How much would it reasonably cost to be replaced at a dealer, vs. at a garage… breaking out parts and labor… just so i don’t sound dumb when i talk to them.

and how much is the part really, and would i be able to replace it myself with regular tools?

thanks so much

A: Buy it from a salvage yard for 1/2 of new and do it yourself with normal hand tools.

Q: How much would it cost to have a transmission replaced on a 2002 honda civic Lx?

A: About $1500 and 4 days for the shop to do the job

Q: How do I get the panel off the door on my 2002 honda civic?
How hard would it be for a non mechanic to replace the window motor on passenger front side? Do I need special tools?Where do I start?Is the part expensive?THANKS for any info

A: I own both a 2002 Civic and Accord and while I haven’t had the door panel off the Civic, I have had the rear drivers door apart on the Accord to replace the window regulator. Thinking about that experience combined with what I would expect in the Civic, you should be able to do it with just basic tools, screwdriver… metric wrenches.

The most important thing to remember is DON’T FORCE IT. If it doesn’t do what you think “it” should be doing stop and check your actions before you break something… with so many plastic clips and fasteners you’ll save yourself time with a little caution.

Now, if my memory serves you should be able to find the seam at the bottom of the door and loosen the panel there, then work your way around the edge – there should just be clips every so far that just pull away from the door with a little pressure. There are probably about eight clips holding the door panel down to the actual door. As you pull the door panel off, watch for all the wiring, there’s probably quite a bit if you have power door locks, windows, etc.

For the motor once you have the panel off, disconnect the wiring to the motor.. there’s probably a multi-prong plug with a “clip” which you have to depress to get it to let loose. When you take the motor out be careful as the metal outline of the door can really tear up your hands. Once you’ve got the old motor out figuring out how to put the old one back should be easy to do (manuvering the new motor into the door can be a pain in the butt).

I’m not sure as to the cost of a new motor… my guess would be it’ll be something you can only get from the dealer so expect $75 or more.

Also, I did not disconnect the power when I worked on my window regulator but it’s probably not a bad idea to disconnect the power to the windows by removing the fuse for that system.

Good luck.

Q: Can anyone give me an estimate for body repair for a 2002 Honda Civic LX?
I was recently in an accident in my 2002 Honda Civic LX (my fault unfortuantely, it was raining, I was braking to go around a curve, and my car hydroplaned into the other guy) and there is some damage to the front of my car. The bumper will most likely need to be replaced (front drivers side was partially pulled off about 6 inches), the front fender is dented (looks like it could be hammered out), the drivers side corner of the hood is bent (about a half inch of it) and the headlight cover is shattered (possibly need a new headlight, but doesn’t look like there’s any damage to the wiring and the bulbs are still working and in tact). I don’t care about paint, but I do need my bumper reattached/replaced. Anyone know a ballpark cost and possibly a good body shop in the Northern VA area? If I can save money by buying the parts myself that would be awesome.

A: Ballpark……about $1500+ for a decent job.

Q: Honda Civic 2002 4 door sedan rear tire bearings?
How much does it cost (part labor) to replace the bearings on my two rear wheels. Prolly a pothole i hit. Sound increases as i speed up.

A: You may have a bent wheel or a tire out of round. I doubt it;s a wheel bearing. Have a shop put it in the air and spin the rear wheels. Good Luck!

Q: 02 honda civic si door panel?
does anyone know anyone parting out a 2002 honda civic si – 2005 honda civic si. i need a driver side door panel (US model) drivers side on left hand side.
nvm guys 1st poster gets best answer. i thought of jb weld and found out the problem wasnt as big as i thought it was just gotta replace 1 screw and fill in a 1/8 in deep gough. not hard to me i took auto body repair last year and im glad i did this wont be the 1st time ive fixed something that class has saved me so much time and money.

A: Awesome! Congrats on the fix. Like you said, it always pays to know!

now, i know what you’re thinking ( teenager + sports car = death). thing is, i’m a good driver (99% on drivers test, never speed more than 2 mph over speed limit), and i’m relatively responsible by comparison (i don’t want to sound like i’m bragging, but it’s fact). I qualify for good student discount (3.97 cumulative GPA, 7 AP classes, etc.), and the car i’m looking at is relatively inexpensive ($6,000; could probably haggle down to ~$5,000 or so). Unfortunately, i can’t pay for the car or the insurance, because getting a job would “interfere with my studies ” (asian parents, remember). My parents want to get me some POS 1990 jeep cherokee, but i’ve seen those, and those crumple into tiny metal balls when they hit anything bigger than a rabbit (supposedly, even the celica i want does better in crash tests).

so, basically, what i’m asking is what to tell my parents to try and get me that car. If it’s way too much to ask, are there any better alternatives (i only really care about the chassis; i couldn’t care less about the engine, turbo, etc.).

thanks

p.s. please don’t say honda civic; i could throw a rock out the window and hit 20 honda civics from where i’m sitting

A: Several methods you may think about.Like call your local insurance agent or do some researches on the internet,you should get the idea.
