Q: Is it possible to buy the original stock parts from honda for a 1995 honda civic hatchback vx?
I’m having trouble finding a used 1995 honda civic hatchback vx so i was wondering if you could order the original stock parts from honda.(literally everything, chassis and all down to the last bolt and screw) to assemble it yourself to have a brand new 1995 honda civic hatchback vx. If so, i would greatly appreciate any info on how to go about this.
would it be possible for it to be done at a mass number like in the hundreds for resale?
I wanna build this car from the car up, brand new even though its 1995.

Q: Why does the 1995 Honda Civic hatchback VX get such good mpg? Also where can i get one?
I’m wondering what parts or components of a honda civic hatchback vx, that make it get good gas mileage. Also does anyone know where I can get one?

A: The answers regarding the lean-burn VTEC-E engine are on track. This is not to be confused with the ‘high output” V-TEC engines. It’s a little slow off the mark, but certainly not embarrassing. The best I saw with mine was 62mpg, but I got 50+ on many highway trips. It ‘only’ gets around 42 running to work if I don’t use the AC much, and drops to about 38 in the winter.

As to where to get one, keep a sharp eye out, since they’re rare. I’m thinking about selling mine, because my new wife doesn’t like how small and noisy it is. That’s another part of the mileage; it’s made very light by leaving out some of the sound insulation and such. It also has special lightweight wheels.

Q: What parts would i need to install power steering in my 1992 honda civic CX hatchback?

A: pump, bracket, belt hoses and lines, rack at the very least. Sounds like a lot of work to put into a 17 year old car. Just drive it the way it is until it dies, and your arms will be a little bigger to boot.

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: What’s the newest prelude year of motor can i put in my 96′ Honda Civic Hatchback CX?
I have a 1996 Honda Civic Hatchback CX and i’m looking for a good engine swap. Can a Prelude motor fit right in,or do i have to modify(some cutting) my inside hood? And what year of Prelude motor can i swap in? What parts do i need to swap a Prelude motor in?

A: I agree with Mike B. The part he left out is that it will leave about 1.5″ of clearance between the oil pan and the ground. That means if you hit a rock on the road, you’re screwed. But regardless, it is completely possible to fit a h22 in it. Try the engine from an RSX type s. It’s a little smaller and packs a helluva punch.

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: honda civic parts car?
is a 1990 civic si hatchback a good parts car for a1989 civic dx hatchback will a majority of the partsbe interchangable

A: Yes, ALL BODY Parts are interchangeable,

and MOST mechanical parts are interchangeable,

the Si has the better “choice” parts than the DX.

Q: Which car is better a 1991 Honda Civic Si Hatchback or a 1992-1995 Honda Civic Hatchback ?
Im 17yrs old in new jersey and im looking to buy either or but i want a car good for everyday use and racing. Light and upgradable. I have heard the Si is more upgradable motor wise because no welding has to be done to install motors, what motors are they. The 92-95 hatchback is all good because many parts are made for it. i need help and what are good mods to add to each car and what is the most hp i could get out of each car and how. THANKS!

A: wow, nice answers.

The EF 1988-1991 Civic Si hatchback has 105-108HP non-vtec motor and a close ratio 5-speed tranny. The EG 1992-1995 Civic hatchback come in many models best for out of the box perfromance is Si since it features a close ratio 5-speed unlike the DX,VX,CX.

Stock EF Si and EG Si:
First buy a clean car, no rust or ricer stuff.
SOHC D16A6 EF Si and SOHC D16Z6 Vtec EG si are great motors both can handle boost like a champ 6-8psi on a tune motor and a T3 can make 220-230whp. The D16A6 motor can use a pep’er cam liek the one found in the ZC, Delta cam.com well sell one for under $100 and offer 10-15 more whp. Built bottom ends $1200 and this motors can boost 14psi on 93 octance and C16 race gas on weekends 18psi
Example. My friend delsol si SOHC vtec has rods and piston ran 11.8 123mph in the 1/4 on slicks and prep, image a car that weighs less then that. Cost under $4000 to do everything

Swap:
Any B-serious is bolt on with motor mounts, shift linkage
H-serious and K-serious require you to cut a little.

On cars, EF is OBD-0 and Si is the only multi-point, all EG’s are multi-point which is better for the swaps, all EF’s are multi-point

Q: What should be the cost on average to replace an engine in a Honda civic (parts and labor)?

A: Well, Nicole, this would obviously depend on the age of the car. I own a 1987 Civic, and if I were to replace the engine in that one, it would run me about 750 dollars for a rebuilt motor. Now, if you own a much newer one, say less than ten years old, I would guess it would run you about 2500 bucks for a rebuild. If you bought a brand new engine, then you could exceed the worth of the car. Peace, Pretty Lady!

Q: What company is good for Honda civic performance parts?
BTW for a 1997 Honda Civic Ex.

A: Well I don’t know what the other two answers are about? For the record you have an EK! And the EX is the best model to work with other then the SI. If you look at EG’s (92-95 Civic Hatch, EJ1 92-95 Civic Coupe) they are the same motor and tranny from the SI Hatch and the EX Coupe, so go figure! As for companys that make performance parts for your car it’s outrageously crazy how many make parts for your car.

Lets start out with the most known. Spoon, Skunk2, Tein for suspension work, Hondata for your ECU or cars computer, AEM, BLOX, Megan, HFP (Honda Factory Performance), And MOST importantly this is the biggest in my opinion, MUGEN.

I guess what it comes down to is what parts you need and who offers the best product for that part at a good price. Lets face it, not everything needs to be name brand for it to due the same thing at the same quality like say, strut bars. They will all due the same function unless they’re really that crappy.

But hopefully this helps and don’t worry about haters! Your car is the best model besides the SI of course. It is wired for Vtec and has all the same amenities of an SI just not the motor an power, but that is easily taken care of! Good luck with your car though!

i dont really want to make that much HP only about 200 HP overall would be okay for me

also looking for genuine honda parts

thx

A: The only way for you to get 200hp reliably is to do a engine swap. Your car has 102hp in stock for and is a d15b7 engine, not that much aftermarket support. If you have a 5 spd you could do a h22 swap for around 2500. Motors can be found at hondamotorsonline.com , tiger japanese, passwordjdm.com, jhot , and many other places. Go to honda-tech.com and research

Q: Help me make a car purchasing decision (long question)?
In this economic climate I’m not eager to take on a new debt (my only current debt is a student loan), but my 01 Civic is reaching a point that I’ve realized I probably should bite the bullet. My car (black 2001, mid trim model with 64K) has been having transmission issues for the past few years and it’s now apparent my torque converter is going. After researching the likely problem, I’m finding that a lot of 01 or 02 Civics have transmission problems and that replacing the torque converter, or even replacing the whole transmission doesn’t always solve the problem. Plus, she’s looking a little beat up and I would love to have key-less entry and some other basic options. But I don’t know what to get.

I want something that’s a good value, reliable, safe, and has a sunroof. I know that last one isn’t a feature that makes financial sense, but I work freakin hard for my money, live in the sunshine state, and spend enough time in my car that I really think I deserve this. I’ve looked at a lot but have focused on the Honda CRV, Toyota Rav4, and Mitsubishi Outlander. I want a small SUV so that I can sit up higher in traffic (and would only purchase another sedan if it was ridicuously cheap…with they’re not). I like the look of a Highlander or the older model Honda Pilots and I’m not averse to buying used, but I really don’t know what I can do.

As for price, I really need to keep it under $300/month. I’ve got excellent credit and can qualify for a credit union loan as low as 3.1%. However, this is for a new loan at a teaser rate, so depending on my timing and what I buy, it could be as high as 4.5%. I can afford more than $300, but I don’t want to be one of those people who spends so much and I realistically want to keep my monthly payment at $275. Every dollar above that makes me feel like I’m spending too much. I’ve calculated the blue book on my 01 Civic and I know I could make more in a private sale, but I’ve never done that and I’m worried about getting scammed. Also, I’m an extrodinarily busy teacher and don’t think I have the time. In a perfect world for a trade in I could get $6500 for my baby, but with her cosmetic scratches and dings, some engine work needed, plus the fact that she’s been in two accidents (no major damage, but accidents just the same) I am telling myself I will only get $5000.

All of the car matching profiles (CarZen, etc) say that my ideal car is the CRV or the Rav 4. However with the price I want to pay, I can’t afford new versions of those with the moonroof option. And I would have bought used by now but I’m seeing new listed at $25k with used and 35,000 miles being listed at $24,700. I know there is room for negotiation, but I’m also scared of getting something used with the risk for issues later in its life. I mean, I bought a Honda new thinking it would never have issues on me, but the dang thing started shuddering at 45K. If I was to buy used, I wouldn’t even consider it unless it was certified and had some type of warrenty remaining.

So my questions are this:
Should I try to negotiate a new Honda or Toyota at my max price range without the sunroof?
Should I try to buy a cheaper vehicle (Suzuki, Mazda, etc) new b/c they have a cheaper price and a longer warrenty?
Should I buy a used? Obviously I know this would save me more, but the worry factor for me is huge. I’m willing to pay a little more for peace of mind, but I don’t want to be stupid. If I buy used, what realistically would $275 a month + $5000 down get me?

A: I would get off the Honda/Toyota high horse. You see what happened to your current indestructable, holier-than-thou ricewagon.

The Chevy Equinox is as good as any and may fit your requirements at a lower price. Other than that I’d look hard at negotiating. Dealers are hurting I’m sure you know and you should be able to get 2-3k off sticker easy. Look at the papers religiously as well. Most of the time a good sale will beat any negotiating you can do. It’s all in timing.

Q: i am looking at purchasing a used 2001 honda civic with 123k miles and a rebuilt title.?
plz i need to know what i need to look out for before i purhase the car.also what paperwork is involved if i finally purchase it, how much does renewing registration on a rebult title cost, does it need to be inspected before i buy it. am i gonna have a problem registering it cos of the title. any detailed answer would be apppreciated

A: Do not do it! I work for an auto dealership and we run into many problems with rebuilt titles! it takes months to get everything straigthened out with the title and you are just going to end up spending more money than needed! The vehicle would need to be state inspected before you could get a new title for the vehicle! and if you try to sell it yourself you are going to have alot of issues selling it!

You would possibly have to get a salvage certificate which allows you do to a number of things with the vehicle, ranging from scrapping it for parts to rebuilding it for resale.
On the application you will provide the reason for the vehicle being salvaged, which will ultimately state what you intend to do with it. Plus, you will need to fill in the purchase price you paid, take an odometer reading, and write in the vehicle identification number (VIN). Your old title will need to be turned in with the application.
The fee for a salvage certificate is $20.
But unfortunatley with it having a salvage certificate you can not run the vehicle on the road! which at this point is when you can rebuilt the title! This is the reason an insurance company is required so quickly to send in an application and the title to the Motor Vehicle Administration if you retain the vehicle. The Motor Vehicle Administration seeks to ensure the vehicle is accounted for as salvage. This measure is to prevent the vehicle from being repaired and sold with the existing title, without a record of the salvage state. it is possible to rebuild the title which at that point you can get a regular used vehicle title!
One thing you would have to do is go through salvage inspection. The inspection is intended to ensure that the vehicle and/or its parts have not been stolen. The vehicle still must undergo a safety inspection before it can be registered!!!! and normally your state police would do the inspection! After you go through all this you can finally get the title in which you would need the bill of sale, the odometer statement, safety inspection certif., the app. for the title and the salvage certificate with the inspection stamp! The title fee is normally around $25!

Q: What are the best subwoofers and amplifier/speakers for a 2001 Honda Civic LX?
I have recently purchased a used 2001 Honda Civic LX and I am looking to later put in a sub enclosure of 12″ subwoofers and replace the factory speakers and possibly include an amplifier and/or tweeters. I do not want to spend too much money but I would like to get the best for what I would be spending. I do not know too much about auto audio so any help would be greatly appreciated.

A: have the car checked out by a mechanic before you buy

Q: I want to buy a used 2001 Honda Civic…is $6500 too much??
A friend of mine is selling his car he wants me to pay $6,500 for it:

2001 Honda Civic LX Sedan 4-doors
139,000 miles
5 speed
6-disc cd changer
drop-down DVD player
Power windows/locks
medium-sized dent on rear of car
scrapes, some minor body damage (not very noticeable)
leak in AC system – needs new hose
needs new air cabin filter

DO YOU THINK HE IS CHARGING ME TOO MUCH OR IS $6500 A FAIR PRICE FOR THIS CAR?? I LIVE IN MISSOURI.
no he is selling it to me “as is” meaning I have to repair the AC hose and the cabin filter.

A: The private party value on Edmunds.com (which is more accurate than KBB) is $3,200. Even if you gave it an overly generous rating of “clean” (“average” is much more accurate considering the body damage and other repairs it needs) it’s only worth $4,800.

Tell him to dream on. There’s no way he sells that car for more than $4,000. No way, no how.

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: What are the Automatic Transmission Ratings on a 2001 Honda Civic DX?
How much power/torque will the stock automatic transmission from this car reliably handle without breaking? The transmission is a 4 speed automatic. The 2001 Honda Civic DX uses a D17A1 engine that develops 115 bhp and 110 lb-ft of torque stock, if that helps. Thanks.

A: You dont want to increase the horespower by much a little wouldnt hurt but too much and it will eat up the clutches inside not to mention bands,servo,planitary gear,etc

Q: 2001 honda civic headlights and dashboard question?
I just got a used 2001 honda civic EX, I was playing around a little to get to know switches and such and came across the left handle it has off lights and highbeam .. when i turn the lights on the dashboard comes on and radio lights do too .. When I shut off the car lock the door I waited like 50 seconds lights didn’t go off on dashboard or radio and the headlights didn’t go off .. I don’t want to leave the headlights and interior lights on running because I’m afraid that will waste the battery .. is it suppose to stay on for a little while or do I have to manually switch it on and off each time I drive ?

A: Yes, you will have to turn it on and off manually each time you drive. In nearly every car you get you will have to manually turn off the headlights every time you turn off the car (Unless you get one of those nifty ones that does it automatically :] ).

Q: How often do I need to have my A/C system serviced?- 2001 Honda Civic?
How often do I need to have my A/C checked. I just bought a used 01 Honda Civic. I dont know if it has ever been checked. Should I get a leak check and refrigerant level check? Air blows cold but I dont know if it might be able to blow colder.

A: The usual guide is “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”. If the air is cold, it should be fine. You CAN get it checked and it shouldn’t cost a lot. If they have to top off the refrigerant, it, too, can be done at a minimal price.

Q: Where can i buy a new/used trailer hitch part for a 2001 honda civic?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

A: Are you looking for the entire hitch or just a part for it? I found a website which offers all sorts of hitches and accessories. They also have a page where you can find answers to most questions you have about hitches and receivers. If you are looking for the part that goes on your car, that is the receiver. Check out their site to see if they have what you are looking for.

Q: Is Honda Civic in 2001 worse than it in other years?
I am about to buy a 2001 Civic EX which has about 60k mileage on it. It is a good deal from good people. However, when I checked Carfax, there were concerns about transmission failure and many other things, about 22 recalls so far.

Is 2001 a bad year for a used Civic? Anybody has more knowledge on it? Thanks a lot!

A: With that many car facts on it I would steer away from it, honda’s and toyota’s are the most recalled cars going.

Q: 20-25 MPG on 2001 Honda civic after changing the distributor, what could be wrong?
Hi,

The MPG of our 2001 Honda Civic used be around 35 until one night it broke down in the highway. The next day, our mechanic told us that the distributor had to be replaced and he did so. Ever since then, we’ve got the engine check light on and the MPG significantly reduced to 20-23. The irony is that now the mechanic is saying that the catalytic converter is the source and it should be changed for approximately $900. I think it’s a rip-off, how would possibly both the distributor and the converter fail at the same time?!!! Could somebody please tell me what I can possibly do to fix it? I really appreciate all your comments.

Thanks,
Amanda
Thank you all for your prompt answers. I will definitely take it to other shops soon. It’s funny I didn’t even know that I could find reviews of the mechanics online! Any good place to check out their reputation?

A: Don’t deal with just one mechanic at one shop. Shop around.
If more than one shop tells you the same thing, you can be pretty well assured that that item is a problem.
However, if each shop tells you something different, then you keep on looking until you find the best deal or solution.
It is time you get “friendly” with other Honda owners and find out where they get their cars fixed at….because word gets around who is good and who is a rip.
Hope you still have the old distrib. because if that was the only thing changed and your fuel consumption dropped right after it, the “new one” is to blame.
That only makes sense.

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: 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: Online repair manuals for honda civic 2000-03?
i need a site that will just let me look at it and print it out, i need it to install a turbo on my civic, i dont know the trim but it doesnt matter for the turbo

A: Autozone.com repair guides. For Civic ‘96-2000, and 2001-2006 models.

Can’t link you to them anymore. You have to go to the site and register. Fill your vehicle info into the profile, click “repair info”, then “view repair guides”.

Alldata is pretty good if you can’t find what you need there, but a subscription for a single year/car is $26.95, not $16.

http://www.alldatadiy.com/buy/

Also, many public libraries have a subscription to Alldata and/or Mitchell’s. Check if they have that there, and if they do, take a thumbdrive to load the info.

Xerox? How old is that guy? LOL

Q: How many miles is a Honda Civic 2000 SUPPOSED to run?
So here’s the case.

I’ve got a Honda Civic Ex 2000 and I feel like i’m runnin a lot less mileage than it’s supposed to do. I did a little research online and found out that the average MPG is supposed to be about 31 32ish. After doing the caculation. it’s supposed to run about 308 miles for about 9.5G. But my actual mileage before the gas light comes on is about 200~215. I’ve been keepin track of this for the last 6 times i’ve filled up my tank so this should be fairly accurate.

Before I got my car, it had been sittin there for about 3 years without any proper preservation so that may be the problem… I’m wonderin if there’s any way I can fix that if anyone knows? I’m totally ignorant when it comes to car stuff… So if you guys can please help me out that’ll be great. If necessary, I can post up a picture of the engine so you guys can see what’s up. Person providing the most useful information will get chosen. Thanks!!!
Thanks for the quick replys. I just searched online and found out that the MPG for city is 28 and 35 for highway. Combined MPG would be 30. So my estimation for the mileage should be correct. As far as driving habbit goes, sometimes i do take some heavy steps to rush through traffic, causing RPM to go above 3 and the fuel meter decrease (which eventually increases back). Is that possibly the reason why im gettin less miles? Also, does constantly switchin from neutral to D2 affect my mileage or harm my engine in anyway?

A: On many Honda models, esp the civic’s, your fuel light comes on WAY early because they do not want you running out of gas. I had a 1999 Civic EX coupe and my milage varied based on where I was going. Long raod trips I have gotten just over 550 miles out of a tank of fuel, where in town with a little freeway here and there, I have gotten 2I50. I live in CA in CA and with all these environmental additves they add to fuel, it seems like it effects fuel milage. I have been getting horrible milage lately and have been for quite a few months now. I maintain my car to the max so it makes me believe it’s the fuel.
Having a vehicle sit for that long, 3 years is NOT good. I would contact a dealer service dept and see what they have to say. It’s a good place to start.

Q: where can i buy airbags for a 2000 honda civic?
my honda needs new airbags where can i buy them online and where can i get them installed?

A: My recommendation is do not buy ANY airbag unless they’re OEM Honda factory parts. You might be able to find them on eBay, if not then go to a Honda dealership and try to get them. It’s rare that people even sell airbags because usually when people part out their cars, the car was totaled, which caused the airbags to deploy.

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: Someone Please Give Me 2000 Honda Civic Radio Unlock Code?
Read online, I think I have to wait till the dealership opens on Monday. My girlfriend picked up her car after getting it fixed (at the Honda dealer!!) and the radio had “code” on the front. I’ve googled it, but can’t find the unlock code. I did find a sticker in her glove box that said a code but someone told me it was the wrong one so I took the radio out (which was a pain!). Anyway, I’ll freely give the number out because I would WELCOME The idea of someone stealing the factory honda radio.
Model Number # 39100-s01-a300
Reference Number # cq-jh5815zc
Serial # m98n247851 (This one is on a sticker on the side of the glove box too)

Q: For a 2000 Honda Civic si: HELP ME!?
What is the trim called that fits around the door opener handle and the window controls and around your air conditioner vents and goes all the way to those buttons that control your defroster and A/C? The trim in it now is not stock….and I don’t like it. I want to get another color in it, but since I don’t really know what it’s called, I have no idea where to get it. Do you know where I could find some online…or anywhere…and what are they called?
Where can I order them? Can I get them in different colors….like, to match my car?

A: the trim that fits around your driver inner door handle is called “Case, L. Inside Door Handle” and its part number is 72161-S02-A01ZB. (passenger side is 72125-S00-A01ZB)

the trim around the window switches that also makes the inner pull for the door is called “Pocket Assy., Power Window Master Pull” and its part number is 83511-S00-A00ZB. (passenger side is 835121-S03-G00ZC)

the trim around your radio/vents/HVAC controls is called “Panel Assy., Center” and its part number is 77251-S01-A21ZA.

since you car is an Si, there is only one color option stock for each of these items.

Hi I was reversing my black honda civic yesterday from the parking lot and got some scratches on the driver side door from the pillar. It is a 2000 honda civic. The sctraches look like long lines. I want to know what will be the best way to get it fixed. Do you recommend using Paint touch up kits? Should I take it to body shop ? I do not want to spend lot of money as I bought this car recently and I am a student. so cannot spend so much money again. I read online that paint touch up kits work well..

A: i would just get some black gloss rustoleum in a bucket and a fine paint brush and paint that on.

Q: i’m trying to sell my car…honda civic 2006 42K mileage on it and having a hard time. I’ve put it online?
everywhere it’s free….so my newspaper record…craigslist list..and the free car ad…I’m trying to sell it for 10K with no luck…i receieved a car from a national car trading company that will try to sell my car for a one time price of 89.99. I looked them up and they seem legit. my question is…will they really be able to sell my car? they also said they might be able to sell it higher than my asking price. do these companies really have it like that? i’ve been trying for three months now and have reduced my selling price $2000. I’m kinda desperate.

A: Don’t lose hope. I tried for months to sell my motorcycle on Craigslist but after about a month of posting it on the eBay classified section (which is also free) I sold it.

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: 1999 Honda Civic EX – Window problem ?
I have a bunch of goo in streaks on the inside of my drivers side window deposited by something inside the door panel.
It appears to be a rubber like substance disolved in oil.
The window is still fuinctioning normally.

Also, if you know of any online sites where I can find diagrams of the mechanism or technical information, please give me a link.
Thanks.

A: Its a 10 year old car and it might be the glue that holds the window in its track that is deteriorating…….

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: 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.

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?

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.

Q: On a 1993 honda civic 4 cylinder what would cause the engine to shake with a tapping noise on a manual?
I bought a car from my brother in law a month ago. Yesterday I was driving the car and the engine would cut off in traffic and when I got it to a parking lot it cut off. When I turned the engine on it would only move a few inches and turn off. I looked online and it said check the oil. When I went to change the oil I found that there was no oil in the car plus it was a sludgy black. I put oil in it with a cleaner and the car was able to stay on permanently but the engine was shaking violently and it has a loud tapping noise. Some said it was the piston, and some said it was the lifter. ANY MECHANICS OUT THERE, HELP! PLEASE! I am trying to find out if it is worth keeping the car.

A: no way to tell without tearing the engine apart but i could safely say your engine is pretty well shot at this point

Q: Belt problem on honda civic !!?
I have a 1993 Honda Civic LX. The alternator belt broke off and I was going to put the new one on but I don’t know how to get the main belt off. It looks like a pain. Any help??? I’m also wanting to find a good belt diagram for the car and can’t find one online. Any help here to please???

A: there is a 12mm bolt next to alt that is to loosen and tighten tension, and one just adjust it to the driver side that locks the adjustment in place.loosen the side bolt and then the top. you might have to smack down on the allt to get it to slide down, and make sure you use a tool as to not damage the alt(wood on alt and hammer) make sure the pulleys involved with that belt are not frozen. this explaination is if the belts are on the pass side
if the belt side of the motor are on the drivers side, there is a 12mm bolt on top the alternator, and 14 mm on the bottom. lossen both and the alt should move. to tension it use a pry bar to hold tension and tighten the top to hold and then tighten the lower.

Q: How do I find a Mugen Engine for my………?
I want to find a Mugen Engine for my project car. I have a 1993 Honda Civic LX Sedan. Someone just gave it to me last week. I have a 2007 Honda Civic EX Sedan that I dont want to do anything to right now. I’m into fixing up cars and doing it the right way.
I’ve had 2 tuner show cars one of which won at NOPI…
Any thoughts on where I can find Mugene Motors online? New not used.

A: Mugen dosen’t build engines for market for retail sale, only parts. Finding a true mugen built engine would have to be a special order, evn then your looking at ALOT of money.
Dart and Spoon does though, you would be better buying a block and building it up and having it machined, it would be cheaper and you would get more out of it. If building isn’t your thing, I would lean towards going with spoon since they sell complete assemblies and not just blocks and heads.

Q: Honda Prelude Owners: What Do You Think?
My family has been looking around, on Craigslist, etc., for another car to drive. We came across a listing for a 1990 Honda prelude at a good price, and I’m definitely interested in at least looking into it. I looked up the specs online, however, and saw its gas mileage listed as 22 city, 27 highway. This sounds to me to be very low, coming from a manufacturer such as Honda, considering the 1993 Civic I used to drive got in the mid-thirties most of the time.

If you own a Prelude: What has your experience been with it in general? What do you like and dislike about driving it. Is the fuel economy really as poor compared to other Honda models? Please include year and trim, and whether it is manual or automatic transmission. Thanks.

A: I own a 96 Honda Prelude S, turbo, manual transmission. My car gets about 28 MPG city, around 32 highway, unless i hit boost, in which my air/fuel ration drops to around 11.3.
As far as the car your looking at, it could just be that particular car, theres many things you can do to improve gas mileage for little money.

Change the air filter, maybe add a cold air intake system.
Injector cleaner, fuel additives, etc.

Q: 4 wheel disc brake conversion…?
I have a 1993 Honda Civic DX coupe and want to swap in rear disc brakes from an Integra GSR I found online, but not quite sure how to go with the process of physically swapping it out. I’ll be doing all the labor, so could anyone direct me to a site/forum where this is described how to be done in a nutshell before I get started? Thanx!

A: Its really a very simple swap when converting you need the complete assembly with trailing arms (the big stamp steel that brakes/hub bolts to). If the trailing arm bushings are cracked on the new disc brake assembly right now would be the best time to replace them. You will need parking brake/e-brake cables for disc brake civic/integras. If you have the money replace the rear lower control arms (the bolts that hold the arms rust up and seize) and new brake lines you need the rears but if you get a set of 4 steel braided lines/hoses this will be the best time to do the fronts. You need the prop/proportioning valve for disc brake cars. Most also change the brake master cylinder to a larger diameter version.

The fronts bolt right up.

It takes most of the day but its well worth it if you have the money and time. Just remember to bleed the system well. Good luck.

Q: Allstate Insurance, something doesn’t seem right?
My dad is the primary driver, and he has 2 cars under his name and are also under my name. They are a 2008 Sienna, fully insured, and a 1993 Toyota Corolla which I drive.
I got into an accident around Feb. of 2009 and even before that, our insurance was over $4000 a year. After the accident, it’s still $4000.
I turned 19 three months ago.
I went to go get a quote of how much insurance would cost if I bought a 2009 Honda Civic Sedan, and it was an additional $3200, so over $7000 total a year.
Thing is, everyone online keeps telling me it’s the average price for people who own these vehicles and one of the drivers at my age. But thing is, owning a bigger car is less expensive to insure, correct? And all my friends who own a vehicle and are around the same age as me pay around $2000 a year for two or more cars.
One of my friends has his sister as a primary driver for his insurance, and he pays $2000 a year, he’s not even 19 yet AND drives a 2009 Honda Civic Sedan…
I still feel that there’s something wrong with this, why would my insurance cost more than half of what a brand new car be?
Any advice?

A: autoinsurance.noneto.com – check this one. As I remember they have lowest car insurance rates for teens and young drivers.

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.

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: Who wants to buy a 1993 honda civic hb with b18 engine swap bored out to a 2.0?
The body on the car is in alright condition. No dents just scratches but not big and it doesnt even need a paint job. It is an engine swap with a 1996 acura integra gsr. The motor has only 400 miles on it and the body has about 180,000. The block is fully built with high compression wiseco pistons. Im running 11.5:1 compression. Nothing is wrong with the engine but there are a few things i suggest you do before you really start driving it. First off change the wiring harness, I have a skunk2 intake manifold so get that put on, and i have a walbro 255 fuel pump so get that put in too. You will be running all motor so your motor really needs that fuel its lacking. But overall its a very good car beautiful if you love hb and FAST AS HELL!!!!! It has a roll cage in it already so its ready to be raced. It needs carpet. The parts I said i have up top you will get plus a condenser. The price im selling the car for is $5500 negotiable. call me at 281-705-8698. any questions call or email me.

A: no selling on here – you are reported.

Q: Should I buy this 1993 Honda Civic?

This is among the generation model that was notorious for hit a lamppost/tree and split into two

Q: Who wants to buy a 1993 civic hb?
Well i have a 1993 honda civic hatchback with an engine swap with an ls block and gsr head. I also have high compression pistons. So if you like all motor set-ups then this is the car for you.

I put in a cold air intake and after-market aluminum radiator. I also have a couple of other parts that i havent yet put in. I have a skunk2 intake manifold, walburo255 fuel pump, jdm converter, condenser, and an ecu with the speed limiter cut out. emai lme if anyone is interested in this deal and ill get more into detail. im asking $5000 negotiable.

Q: 1993 Honda Civic Not Running Past 40mph?
I just bought a 1993 Honda Civic from my uncle. It has a rebuilt engine and transmition it ran great till he got it towed home. It was a bad tow the guy didn’t do it right so while on top of the tow he hit the breaks and hit his tow truck after off loading it the car still ran but doesnt pass 40 mph what can be the problem? Like I said the engine and transmition is good.

A: the tow truck is liable for the damages they caused to the vehicle. I had this happen to me once and the tow truck owner’s insurance paid the damages. It sounds like the throttle linkage got damaged somehow in the tow. Also, have all the suspension components and alignment throughly checked since that is probably damaged too.

Q: How much do you think it would cost to buy and install a engine for a honda civic 1993?

A: This would depend on the engine in question.

To buy an engine in the D-series which the 93 DX, LX, CX, EX & Ferio MX had could cost about $700-$900.

To buy an engine in the B-series which the 93 SiR had could cost about $1700-$2000.

To go out of those ranges & put in a K20 or a H22 I suggest a Google search would yield the best results. I also suggest sites like
http://got-jdm.com &
http://passwordjdm.com
could help find the engine.

If you’re just looking to stick within the range of engines for this generation Civic these are the engines that were in them.
D15B7 (DX, LX)
D15B8 (CX)
D15Z1 (VX)
D16Z6 (EX, EX-V, Si)
B16A1 (SiR)
B16A2 (SiR, VTi)
btw sticking with 1 of these engines would be cheaper as you can use the same mounts, etc for them.

Q: I’m 21 i just bought a honda civic 1993 civic ex for 2,300 with 145,000 miles on it how long will it last me?
Did i get a good deal on it because the person had paint it over and it runs nice so far….

A: the looks of a honda is what makes it valuabe. if your car is full or rust and dents than yes you did get ripped off, BUT if its in good body shape and no rust i say its a great deal being the fact it has power windows,locks,sunroof and comes with the vtec engine. it should last you another 150,000 miles or more depending on how you drive, and the maintenance done to the car. i have had a honda of that year get to 250,000 miles which is really good. PLUS you save gas.

Q: I just bought a 1993 honda civic.When i try to shift in reverse slowly, tranny grinds a bit .is this normal?

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.
