Re: water temperature gauge install quick question

No you cant just use the stock wiring. Its unlikely that the calibration is the same. They sell in-line water hose adaptors with a threaded fitting for a sensor. If I remember right, the hoses are...

Re: Cost for Compliance Bushings

That sounds OK. They'll probably just replace the entire control arm, which costs a good $125 or more each.... plus an alignment. I'd say $400 is a good price, if not a really good price.

Re: Need head stud torque Specs asap 04 civic ex EM2 please

Are you using stockers or ARPs?
If you're using stock bolts (and you need to buy new ones, they're one time use), I think its 16-38-51 ft lbs... in 3 steps.
With ARPs, do the same, but crank them a...

Re: 2001 civic replacing engine

Its a hell of a lot easier to pull it whole. It comes out fairly easily as an assembly, and its much easier to get the engine and tranny together outside of the car. If the dealer threw a used engine...

Re: DC5 and EP3/EM/ES Brake Line Compatability

If you have discs all around, DC5 lines work. If you have drums in the back, then only the fronts work. The drums have a different fitting.

Re: Maintenance before selling

If the car passed, then just sell it. You wont recover the money you put in.
If it failed, you gotta fix it.

Re: 01 civic engine swap with a 05 engine

you're going to have to swap the primary 02 sensor for a 2001 model sensor. The 04 and 05s have a wideband, and the wiring is not the same. Easiest solution is to change the sensor to work with the...

Well, its not an expensive fix if you DIY it. The timing belt is $20, the tensioner and water pump are both about $60.
The sensor is something right around $60 as well. If you just want to change...

Re: how can i get my civic to throw a cel?

Re: Replacing stripped oil pan

I think its 28 lb ft, but the bolts will bottom out. You need to go around the pan a couple times, even with a torque wrench, to make sure the pressure is evenly applied around the mating surface.
