Used 96 Civic EX 2 door Coupe w/ B16A swapp

[darkghost220]

Hey everyone,

If most of you don't know already, and the only reason I say that is because I am constantly asking questions about the problems I encounter on my car on here, I just recently bought a 96 Civic 2 Door Coupe w/ a B16A swapp w/126k miles on odometer. Not sure how much on swapp.... I didn't know it had a swapp until my uncle and I were working on changing the timing belt, water pump, etc.

I am asking all of you for your suggestions, recommendations, and advice things I should do on my car. Basically this car is in the fixing phase, just because I got to get it ready for inspection. While i'm dedicating hard core time on this, i rather get a list of parts, or tasks to do on my car while i'm working to get this car ready for inspection. I am taking all ideas into consideration.

You want someone to tell you what to do to your car? :O

It's your car, your money, your time and effort, and your choice.

I would ADVISE you, to fix all of its issues and get it running well and reliable. Then go from there.

Just to let everyone know, Oil has been changed, rear drum brakes, belts, timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, spark plug wires, and tires all have been changed. I recently upgraded front cambers, inner and outer tierods, and rear cambers. I do have squeak however everytime I go over bumps and that's something that needs to be addressed

and Young_ I know what you mean, I just wanted to get ideas, beccause I am about to order parts and I rather get them all at once

If your in cali you better figure out what you need to get the motor bar'ed because it wont pass visual inspection unless you go somewhere where they dont know the difference

The swap isnt hard to get bar'd (^^i feel you implied this a bit, i could be wrong and my apologies if i am and jumped the gun). It just needed to be done correctly ie the engine bay, wiring, and every schematic must be identical to the car it was transfered from; Meaning if the brake lines and power steering etc must be in the same place that they would be in the donor car. It also has to be running well enough to pass smog. If you can, op, post a picture to help us help you with recomendations to pass visual inspection.

I can totally do that tonight guys.By the way can anyone explain to me what "bar-d" is. I live in Maryland and i dont think this implies but then again I dont know what it is. So far, I just have to pass safety to get full registration. Right now im on my 30 day temp

Oh and if anyone could while we are at the topic of passing inspection, I need a turning signal cancel sleeve. so if anyone has info where to get one please let me know
