I have a '96 EK dx hatch and when i went to switch climate control(the piece where radio goes) from DX to a stock 2000 Si climate control, I had trouble trying to fit in because the way they have the plastic for the stock DX vents. do I cut the plastic or is there some kit? also everything clips in but the air power control; I can rig it and have it sticking out of the tray that goes under radio, but would be nice if everything worked. If needed I'll get pictures to explain

BTW, welcome. Search and you shall recieve

 

yeah, thats the thread you need.

then you will need a grip of other parts too and have to remove your dash to put them in.

 

just cut the vents its the same ****

 

cut the one on your left side and you wont have a problem because the one on the right side snaps in and connects with no problem but you won't beable to get them to light up because of the plugs they dont match up only thing is the hazzard. pm me if you need more help

 

wtf are you talking about dude?

 

sorry let me edit all that and start over


your climate control (00) the vents wont match up with the vents on your dash board. so heres what you do CUT the LEFT VENT the one in the center when you take out your climate control (98) and the two vent holes left/right you cut the left one up and you have to brake off or unscrew all the tabs and your done.

 

sorry if this doesnt help you but if you pm me with questions ill answer them for you

 

oh your talking about just putting the climate control into the stock dash.

Thats all fine and dandy, but making the ***** work is another story.

 

will attempt to look and see if i can do tommmorow- if i have trouble i will get in touch- thanx

 

you know this isn't plug and play right?

you need the heaterbox from an SI to start.

all the other models for the most parts have a "heater control rod on the heater control it's self that runs to your heatervalve (on the firewall under enginebay) and either pushes or pulls to open the inlet for the coolant to flow into the core. The 99's civic's however have a **** that controls a motor mounted on the side of the heater core way under the dash that opens/close the flow of coolant into the core... so unless you plain on having a lil string attached to open and close this valve the swap is only cosmetic....... belive me I learned all this about 3 months ago!

Now I have a 99 civic SI dash, heater core, climates contorl and now I am working on the wiring... (may only have to add 3-4 wires, i have a 99 si dash harness )


note: you can interchange the vents inside the dash to prevent clipping etc by removing the phillips crews but not sure where you might find that.... so?
