    New and need help

    That kit is basically assuming you already have a manual car. Take a look at this thread here, and you'll see all the parts you need for the manual swap. Some of the parts are included in that hmotors link you provided, such as tranny, starter, clutch, etc. You will still need to source a manual...

    New Clothing Line

    Hey! Just a heads up, I deleted your other post... one thread per topic please. We have a strict rule of no commercial selling here, but, since you're only looking for ideas and not selling anything yet, this post is fine! I think you would need to do something original. There's apparel out...

    1998 Civic Hatchback project car

    +1 for a B-series swap. If you have a higher budget and a good bit of mechanic skills you can look into a K-series swap.

    92 civic complete exhaust swap

    Yeah, you'll notice a slight at best difference. If you want more power, I would recommend forced induction (if the motor is healthy) or a complete motor swap. I know when I purchased my I/H/E combo, after all was said and done, I was a little disappointed. I even did a mini-me motor swap after...

    Check Engine Light, Alternator/Battery Issues

    THIS!! It applies to 96-99 models. My 97 had the exact same issue, it's very common. @joenobodyyet check fuse 15 under the dash again. If it's blown, you most likely have this issue:

    Conflicting oil change information everywhere

    An engine doesn't consume oil. At least it is not supposed to. Some oil may burn off over time, but that's due to things such as bad seals, gaskets, etc. The reason that oil is changed is because it breaks down over long periods of use. It's frequently heated and cooled, and loses its...

    Conflicting oil change information everywhere

    I would avoid quick lube places altogether, honestly. Many of those places say they change oil filters, but don't actually do so. No wonder they're so quick ;)

    Conflicting oil change information everywhere

    It depends. Looking at the manual, it determines "severe" driving conditions as driving less than 5 miles per trip, frequently in 90* heat, extensive idling, lots of city stop and go traffic, and frequent muddy / dusty roads... those conditions it says to change every 3750 miles. Honestly...

    One wheel isnt lined up & other problems

    There are notches on the outside of the reservoir that denote low and high marks. Gotta use your eyes. Use Honda brake fluid to fill it. It says on the top of the reservoir which type to use.

    One wheel isnt lined up & other problems

    To the right of it, yeah. The reservoir with the red cap ;)

    One wheel isnt lined up & other problems

    It's the reservoir under the hood that probably has a red cap, and is behind the driver side headlight :thumbs up If it's low on fluid or if the pump isn't working properly, you'll hear a noise that sounds like a low pitched wine. You might feel the wheel vibrate too. You should be able to hear...

    One wheel isnt lined up & other problems

    Creaking noise could also just mean OP is low on power steering fluid.

    Muffler Tip Question

    Just the tip? :lol: or a whole muffer? You're probably fine with any tip as long as it supports whatever the diameter of your stock muffler tip is. Most I'm sure are fairly universal.

    2001 Civic LX overheating

    Did the check engine light come on at all? It sounds like there's an issue that's putting your car into limp mode. If the light didn't come on, do you know if the light even works? I have seen issues before in which they've burnt out, and even with previous owners who have actually removed the...
