I just bought a 96 4 door civic, LX model, automatic transmission. I bought this car because it is a great reliable vehicle that gets amazing gas mileage. I will probably not do a single performance mod to this car ever. Aside from adding a stereo and cool little extra features, this car is staying stock. I'm looking for an information resource, and this seems like a great place. I poked around the search feature and found a lot of questions i had answered(except for what motor do i have lol). Is there anywhere where i can find a wealth of general information on basic honda stuff? I am a certified audi tech working at an audi dealer so i dont need to know how a motor works, just like... honda specific stuff. thanks in advance guys!

 

keep using the search function

well, if you want something that will tell you how to fix problems and such, and you plan on doing the work yourself, get a HELMs manual. It is the same manual they have at the dealership, and can give you anything you ever wanted to know. Torq specs, troubleshooting guides, all kinds of stuff. And then there is this site. It has alot of info, you just need to know how to use it. SOOOOOOOOO...... without further ado, here is the newb handbook on how to use Honda Tech.

Hello New User, Welcome to Honda-Tech

There is a wealth of information here on this forum just waiting for you to discover.

Whether you joined to get some help with a problem on your Honda, wanted to see other peoples cars and get ideas for your own, wanted to buy some parts, or maybe you just own a Honda and wanted to join the club, a good place to start is with a good >>>>>SEARCH<<<<<< . You will notice the red SEARCH button on the top right hand side of the screen. You can search to see if someone has had a similiar problem, or has a similiar post to what you wanted to make.

The first screen you come to has a long list of different sections you can choose from, each having there own reason.

The first list you will see are Model Specific TECH forums. These are forums for general TECH related questions and post about SPECIFIC MODELS. A suspension question is not MODEL specific, as all cars have it, so that might be better suited in the Suspension forum. You get the idea. Before you post a question, SEARCH to see if it has been covered before, because it probably has. Here is a good link to show you how to use the search function. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=979961

The next list you will see are more Technical Forums, except this time instead of car/model specific, it is topic specific, IE All motor, FI (forced induction), Suspension, Drag racing, AutoX, etc. Your questions about these matters go in the designated forum.

The next place you will see the Marketplace. Come on, do you need an explaination about this? Buy or sell your parts here.

The next section is labeled Honda-Tech Forums. You will find the Appearance and Cosmetic section. This section is good for when you want to show off your car and get feedback on what you have done. Or if you have questions about something to do with appearance in general, this is your forum. The other sections here are the Events and Meets section, where you can find out what is going on in your area, or announce something of your own. And then there is Kills. Tell stories of who you raced and what happened here. Enter at your own risk.

And then there is GDD- General discussion and debate. This is basically the Off-topic forums of Honda-Tech. You can explore these for yourself.

There you go, I hope that you read this and understand the layout of this website.

Again, Welcome to HT.
