Waited awhile for this day to come ..First ride and it's a civ ha. Picked her up at 9:30 this morning. Never drove stick but knew how to do it (thanks Youtube) and only stalled once lol. I think thats pretty damn good with just hopping in an driving it home. Anyway here she is all cleaned. Washed 2x/Scratch X/ And turtle waxed for 3hrs. Oh and interior cleaning. Goodies coming soon First gotta do some things

 

was it heavy?

 

congrats.

i remember those ION headlights.
i still have my pair in my garage from way back

 

Hell yea not even steroids could do the job

And thanks sic

 

What sub-model is this?
Its a 96 / 4 door SEDAN/ Cruise control/Moon Roof/ power windows and locks

I will take a pick of my engine today!

 

Well my engine is a D16Y7..Now is it a lx or dx?

 

looks nice a nice start! whats your plans with it?

 

Well first I'm fixing the emergency brake/ the window because it wont go down/ the lock because it's stuck/ srs light/ and horn lol. Fixing some of the rust and some dents and also the interior. New exhaust. Thinking apexi. New grill. Red or bronze 15" rims. Some stickers. Nothing fancy we will see. Any ideas? It sits pretty low as it is so I won't drop it. Comprared to what I was driving this car spools up fast Oh and does any one know what kind of black that is? And what size hubcaps lmao

 

has a moon roof? so you got your self a 96 civic EX 5speed..... fawking lucky ***.

 

das a LX foo

 

nope moon roof is EX.

 

dont' question my authority! haha jp. but yea i have a lx and wanted a moon roof for the longest time!

 

awesome congrats on the pick up! reminds me of my "perla" when she was stock.

 

wow an EX with a d16y7

 

Thanks for the welcomes guys!!! Lmao....so what is it an lx or ex?? Can't seem to figure this one out haha

 

Could it be a dx?

 

Take a picture of the engine bay.

If it has a factory moonroof it is an EX.

Nice pickup. My first car was a hand-me-down 1993 LX sedan. Enjoy it, and don't street race. If you have the need for speed...take it to an autocross or drag strip.

 

Thanks..Yea I like rolling slow lol. Enjoy the ride ya know. Anyways just took pics. Another question my dash light don't work would that be the dimmer switch? All other lights work except for the headlights..they are burnt out except high beams.

 

looks like someone threw a y8 manifold in a y7.
well..... lx also comes with a moonroof option! im guessing 85% this car is an lx.

 

Y8 manifold is kind of an upgrade from a y7 right...Im still trying to learn alot of stuff lol

 

No it doesn't.

Looks like they threw a Y7 in there with a Y8 intake manifold. The Y8's are notorious for blowing up due to oil starvation, I'm guessing that's what happened. You could always run the VIN through carfax and see what trim level you come up with.

 

Car fax said it's an EX...Notorious for blowing up??? Dude kinda worried now but I have a y7 lol

 

EX's came standard with Y8's. I'm assuming the previous owner blew the motor and replaced it with a Y7 longblock, while retaining the stock intake manifold. The exhaust manifold is a Y7.

 

Should I get rid of the stock intake manifold?

 

No...the Y7 manifold is shitty. (Y7 on the left, Y8 on the right)



Keep the Y8. As long as you don't have a check engine light you're good to go.
