Q: honda civic?
hey do anyone knows where can i find a cheap 1999 honda civic Si engine in california?? or wnywhere but cheap??

A: Recycler.com or craigslist. Also, try CNS Motors. I’ve had good experiences with them. They have a location in Santa Ana and also one in El Monte I believe but I’ve never been to that location. Also, you can order form them online at cnsmotors.com. If you search the newspaper, you’ll find a lot of used JDM engine distributors. That’s one of the beauties to living here in California. These shops are as common as Arco stations.

Q: I have a 1999 Honda Civic Ex(Auto)That i want to convert to a manual how much does it cost and where to do it?
If you know any shops or places that do it for cheap plz let me know cause i wanna get this done cause i love my civic =)

A: Few times a day somebody ask about converting their auto to manual (or vice versa).

It used to be that everybody answered – that it was cheaper to sell your and buy another with manual. I still contend that if it is not just plain cheaper, at least it is better.

When you do a major surgery on you car like that, the quality of the end product will largely depend on the skill of your mechanic. Given this is not a everyday thing (not even every other month thing), I would say that you are leaving awfully a lot to your faith in your mechanic.

Bottom line don’t do it unless you are creating a show car or gutting things out for a racer, etc.

But Good Luck anyway.

Q: 1999 Honda Civic CAT convertor question.?
So I have a plugged catalystic convertor on my 1999 honda civic hx. my muffler is rusted and is broke as well.

My catalystic convertor is right on the manifold by the engine, I was wondering if it would be possible just to put a 4-2-1 header on it and get a cheaper cat and attach it on the bottom of the car?

Or do I have to get the same exact catalytic convertor and have it by my engine?

let me know. Thanks!

A: Yes you can, I had a Civic CX and the cat was right on the manifold too
when mine went bad, I bought a DC header and bought a cat and a cat exhaust system, but I bought it for the EX model and it fit’s fine
You do have to extend the o2 wires so it’ll reach the new cat but it was no big deal

Never got a check engine light

Q: honda civic ex conversion?
Hi, I’m a senior in high school and I’m about to get my car and license soon.

I plan on getting a 1999 Honda Civic EX coupe or a Civic Si (99-0)

I just wanted to know which would save me more money and time.
I plan to do internals first, than exhaust. I plan to get 200+hp on my Honda civic by the time all the tuning is done.

Option 1:
Buying a 1999 ex coupe, then doing internals then exhaust..etc.etc.
1999 ex coupe stock : 130hp & cheaper

Option 2:
Buying a Si, then doing internals then exhaust..etc.etc..
Civic Si stock: 160hp & about the same price

Since I’m gonna be on a provisional license, I don’t want my car to stand out as much, especially to the cops. xD.

Just wanted to know which option would be better, Or you can give me your opinions and options of your own to help me out. I’m new to this kind of stuff. Haha.

A: get the Si unless you want some more options for comfort.

how much money you looking to spend on internals? complete build from block up? bolt ons?

by starting with the SI, you will already have a good powerful b-series to start your build with and will respond nicely to any bolt on parts, i.e. intake manifold, exhaust headers, high performance exhaust, timing cams, etc…

you are looking at some serious coin if you decide to put some new pistons, a port and polish/valve job, new cams, valves, springs, retainers, connecting rods, etc…

look around and see what some others are doing, but be careful on some of the honda forums. my suggestion is to start reading. there are a number of books out there on building and tuning b-series engines. there are some great magazines out there too. my recommendation is DSport.

Q: Where can I find a cheap front bumper in Los Angeles area?
I’m looking for a 1999 Honda civic ex front bumper it could be the regular bumper or a custom bumper.

A: First off, you are in California,nothing cheap there…and, on top of that you want one in LA?

Try a few “used car parts” (generic for junkyard) places, you might get lucky…

Q: My muffler has a cheap and loud exhaust welded onto it. HOW CAN I REMOVE IT? ?
I have a 1999 Honda civic EX coupe. I bought the car as is from my brother in law. The exhaust that is on there now is extremely loud and I want to remove it. The exhaust is welded on and is an extremely cheap, junk yard, potato type, exhaust. Is it possible to get rid of this cheaply loud device? and if so what type of prices am I looking at in shop and at home?

A: A shop will have to cut off the current exhaust and weld on a new muffler that is quiet. The price really depends on what muffler you choose to get installed but I would say you’ll be spending about $100-150. You might be able to purchase a cheaper muffler that is close to stock but the quality will be poor. Good luck!

A: get the 99….cheaper….then the 2000 and is a whole lot easier to work on compared to the 2002…plus has more aftermarket support for mods if you choose to…..

Q: Honda Civic or Prelude?
I have a choice between these two fine cars. I just don’t know which to pick. Tell me your opinions on your pick. And between these two cars, which one would you prefer over performance?

My opinion.
2001 Prelude
Preludes have bigger engine and more curb weight. more slick, sporty look.
Reliable? Are the parts for Preludes cheap and easy to find?

1999-2000 Civic Si
Gas efficient. Wide modification chose. Reliable and fun.

Are these two car’s performance a big difference?

A: t-14 must have failed math class…
anyway the prelude will be faster in a straight line and the civic should handle better. I would prefer the civic si but only if you have a garage to store it, as they are always getting stolen.

Q: Whats the difference between 1997-2000 honda civic ex coupe? ?
i want to know why the 2000 is better than a 1997-1999. is it cuter?
I really want an Si but i dont know anything about cars. i just want a cheap cute one =)

A: ok for the 1996-1998 civic’s ex vs comparing a 1999-2000 civic ex.
first off the front end, headlights bumper changed.
1998:

1999-2000:
http://onefortheroadauto.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/2000_honda_civic.127204154_std.jpg
notice how the grill on the bottom is smaller and has two optional cutouts for fog lights.
look again:
98 with fogs:

99-00 with fogs:

http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/1496/redcivicgl4.jpg

ok for the back, 96-98 had amber turn signals, 99-00 coupes had clear.

basically i think thats it for the 1996-1998 civic ex, compared to the 1999-2000 ex

now for comparing the 1999-2000 civic ex vs si.

the si is a upgraded ex, upgraded from the 1.6 SOHC D-series motor to the 1.6 DOHC VTEC B16A2, so newer engine trans computer axels.

also since it has a bigger more powerful motor it had a newer designed cluster.

si for that year also added rear disc brakes which the ex didn’t have.

si also had orange interior lights to backlight the gauges hvac panel as shown:

http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m300/sk8shorty017/shot5.jpg

where as the civic ex was more whiteish.

si also came with alloy wheels
http://carsmedia.ign.com/cars/image/article/688/688078/history-of-the-civic-si-20060210061726674.jpg
where as the ex was steel rims with hubcaps:

if you want a cheap cute one, you can do what i did, get a 99 civic dx and make it look jdm like this.

BEFORE:
start with a car like this:[99-00 civic dx coupe or hatch what ever you like]
http://americardealer.com/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/DSCF0449.274141245_std.jpg

http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/autoreview/400×266/2000-Honda-Civic-00802031990002.jpg

and make it look JDM like the japanese have stock in japan.

add like fog lights, sidemarker lights si cluster decals emblems it will make a nice car which i think you would like.

AFTER:
do like this guy did similarly.

look at the 0:23 sec mark for before
and the 1:11 mark for after you should do like that.

Q: What does a “preformance chip” really do for a car?
So I’ve seen these preformance chips on the internet. Supposedly they can give you up to 50hp and 6 mpg. Seems really cheap (only 39.99) for such performance enhancement. I don’t know if I believe it. Can anyone tell me from past experience if these things really work. For a 1999 Honda civic btw.

Heres a link to one I was looking at: http://www.performancechipsdirect.com/Honda/Civic-2Dr/

A: The ones on ebay are basically resistors, not chips. they trick the motor into thinking there is cold air coming into your motor making it dump more fuel. check out www.voloperformance.com as their chips go into your OBDII port and work.
