Q: If I get a good deal on a 1997 Honda Civic, are parts hard to find?
I’m looking at a 1997 honda DX hatchback with 100K miles on it for for three grand – pictures look real clean inside, outside, under the hood…..I’m going to look at it tomorrow….but I was wondering, with a car that old, is it hard to get parts? are they expensive?
A: There’s so many late 90s Civics out there that spare parts are commonplace.
Q: I own a 1996 Honda Civic can I use parts from 1997 Honda Civic for replacements?
I need a hood and grill for my car but before I buy something I shop around Craigslist, Ebay etc… I found this hood and grill for an excellent price I just need some feedback to know if its going to fit my car.
A: Yes.. same exact car..
Q: Will 99-00 honda civic parts fit a 1997 honda civic EX?
Im looking for the OEM front bumper, grill, front lip, rear lip, maybe headlights and tailights
A: Yea they all fit. the 99-00 tail lights look much better.
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!
Q: What is a reasonable cost for parts and labor to replace a CV axle on a 1997 Honda Civic?

Q: What all would it take to get acura rsx body parts on my honda civic?
i want to put rsx fenders, headlights, bumper, and hood on my 1997 honda civic ex. they make conversion kits, but i don’t know if there’ are special brackets or cuts that have to be made or w/e. if you know anything about car conversions especially about civic to rsx conversions, please post! all help will be welcomed.
honda owns acura and the rsx is acuras version of the civic…does anyone know if the dimensions are the same?
A: It’s been done before, but you’re better off selling your civic and buying an RSX. The good conversion kits that don’t squeak and bang together when you hit a bump is going to run around $2,000 to $3,000. And then there’s labor. The demensions are fairly close, but not exact, so putting the brackets on are extremely difficult. Acura modeled the RSX after the 7th gen Toyota Celica, so the layout of the car is designed to be lightweight and handle well. The civic was designed as an economical commuter car. If you put a conversion kit on your civic, it will throw off the balance of the car and cost loads, so I’d recommend trading up to an RSX.
Then call me and I’ll show you how to drive it 
Q: Will my honda civic fail inspection if i add some aftermarket parts?
by parts i mean if i take out the stock air intake system and put in an aftermarket cold air intake. also if i replace the stock exhaust with an exhaust system(catback). and would it matter if the car has a low body kit or not?(i cant see why a body kit would be a problem) its a 1997 honda civic DX coupe .
A: As far as intake and exhaust, they pretty much are all legal. Make sure whatever you get has a CA smog number. Even if you dont live in CA, if its CA compliant you won have any trouble passing smog because CA has the highest smog restrictions.
Q: Will an Exhaust from a 2000 Acura Integra GSR 3-Door fit a 1997 Honda Civic EX Sedan?
The civic has an aftermarket 2.5″ exhaust on it and it sounds like a pissed bee in a tin can. I want to put it back to stock and have searched for hours about the interchangeability of civic/integra parts. My car is a 4 door and I found an exhaust on CL from an 00 GSR he said make him an offer. So will it fit?
A: Idk how much of the exhaust youre getting from this guy… but the manifold wont work, the hangers will need to be removed and new ones welded on probably.
This is a pic of a gsr exhaust replacement…

and this is your civic…

I would say that of any Honda exhaust, these would be the most interchangeable however I’m sure one is longer than the other so you’re going to have it sit too far in or too far out.
You need one for your car, not a stock gsr… why do you need a gsr’s anyway? Find someone on a forum looking to get rid of their stock, plenty of ppl should have one laying around collecting dust. Or… your old one lol
Q: Replacing the Oxygen Sensor in a 1997 Honda Civic?
I need to replace the oxygen sensor in my 1997 Honda Civic. The location is as the front of the exhause manifold. I was looking at purchasing the part, but I am not sure what one to buy. Do I buy the the part specifying before catalyst, or after castalyst? I am assuming catalyst means catalytic convereter. Please help.
The sensor is integrated into the exhaust manifold.
Which part do I buy?
1. Before the cat converter
2. After the cat converter
My engine is the D16Y8.
A: jack the car up and make sure that it does not have both, some of these cars do run 2 of them, also make sure that the new ones have the same number of wires coming out of them as the old one’s.
Q: How much are door mouldings for a 1997 Honda Civic?
Somebody stole the door mouldings on my 97 Civic and my dad is beyond pissed. Generally, how much are these car parts?
A: look them up on ebay
Q: How much should I expect to pay for a transmission rebuild? – 1997 Honda Civic LX (manual transmission)?
I’m just curious. What is a reasonable price for parts and labor?
I forgot to mention that I am in NC.
… and yes, I have called a few places. I have never dealt with transmission problems before, so I’m doing my homework.
A: You should search online for a reputable used/imported engine and transmission seller. Most will have at least a 3-6 month warranty.
Your Civic uses a very basic and common Honda transmission (dime a dozen). You could probably get a
quality used one shipped to you for $800ish or less. As for
install, are there any tuner shops that modify Honda/Acura’s in your area? I’m sure they would install and guarantee their work in writing for less than most auto shops. Another choice is a high school auto shop, they’ll install it for free or very little money. Mechanics are business people, just like car salesman, and they always try to extract as much money as possible from the unkowing consumer.
I don’t care what anyone says, a rebuilt transmission is never as good as a lower mileage used one. I know know 3 people who’ve had a Honda/Acura transmissions rebuilt at significant cost (as you’ve been quoted) and they never shifted as good as the original.
EDIT- Also, as your Civic is only worth about $4,000 +/-, it’s not really cost effective to dump $3,000+ into it.
EDIT #2- The guy below must not have read your description as a manual transmission doesn’t have a torque converter.
I took the liberty of getting a quote for you:
The price for this transmission is $595, with NO core deposit required.

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).

Q: what do i need to convert my 1997 civic ex from auto to manual?
i want to convert my 1997 honda civic ex from an automatic to a manual transmission. i wanted to know a basic list of parts id need, and if the car comes with and automatic or an automanual transmission stock. i also wanted to the average prices of parts, and would i have to change the 1.6L vtec sohc engine or computer.
A: Changing auto to manual is not as bad as one might think. The things I’m going to list is not complete and I’m just typing the things that I can remember. also can’t remember price for parts as finding the parts will not be easy. In the end, it might be cheaper just to look for an a civic with a manual transmission.
Parts
1. Manual transmission – dunno how much, you’re going to have to shop around via junk yards.
2. Foot Pedals – dunno how much
3. Clutch cable
4. maybe new axles
5. ecu for a 97 honda civic ex manual. If your car doesn’t come in manual then this whole conversion is impossible.
6. Tool rental – engine hoist. You’re not going to use your bare hands to lift up the manual tranny and lock it in unless you’re super man.
You’re going to have to get some help with this. If done right it can take only 1 day to finish.
Honestly its easier just to get another civic thats manual. I looked up a 97 civic ex manual transmission with 200k miles in good condition on Kelly Blue Book and the price came out to $2,650. You’re probably looking at a third of that price to do the conversion but finding the parts needed isn’t going to be easy. Especially for a car that is over 10 years old.
Q: Ok, can’t fix our Buick. So, have to fix my Honda Civic Ex. 1997. Cost to fix radiator? Parts and labor.?
A: Radiators will vary in price from store to store, so call and compare prices. Last one I installed ran about $135.00 and it took just over an hour to replace. If your having it done, expect to pay about $250 for this repair. This includes coolant, radiator and labour. Some shops charge more so this could be higher. Good Luck
