whats the difference in 88 hatches and 91 hatches?
my friend is saying that 88's are like worthless because you cant get anything for them and i should've gotten a newer one.

im not exactly sure hes 100% right but someone lemme know!

 

you sure you dont have a 87? the 88's are the same 88-91

 

84-87

88-91

 

84-87

88-89 correction

90-91

 

well, is it still pretty easy to get parts for an 88?

by parts, which parts are you looking for?

 

well mostly just the common stuff, but right now i am gonna start looking for a few specific things as in: bumpers, bumper lights, right rear tail light, a cluster that will work in my car that has a tach, and stuff to convert to mpfi

my sedan for instance, i go to the junkyard for body parts. cheap and sometimes you just come across a mint one. the other day i came across a sedan with a brand new front end. although all i bought was the bumper corners.

for your cluster you can only use the 88-89's since they are different shape than the 90-91 models.

same goes for the tailights, they are designed different.

bumpers and its lights well you can use the 90-91 bumpers but it would mismatch cause the 88-89 has indents in the molding for where you would be able to put pinstripes on.

check the "Faq links" above this forum. it has these sites
*Majestic (RI)
*San Leandro (CA)
*HondaPartsDeals (RI)
*HondaPartsCheap (CA)
*Manchester Motorsports (CT)

see if they have any parts you need.

 

i was told i can get a cluster from a 88-89 civic wagon and that will work ok?

thanks for the links :D

that cluster i dont know. ive never seen one..lets wait til morning and see what others have to say..you can always go to the junkyard and pull a cluster out of an 88-89 wago and find an 88-89 sedan/hatch and see if it sits flushed in there and plugs right up. thats what i do. junkyard experiment.

oh for body panels, theres always aftermarket for cheaper. and some people have bad experience with it because fitment is bad and some say its fits really well..and ive bought aftermarket bumper (OEM STYLE!!) and fitment was good..
