    How much time/effort/cost to build up this 90 cx?

    My wife has a 90 Civic CX and just bought a new car. We put this up on craigslist for $900 and I got flooded with replies! It got me thinking on whether I should maybe keep it and do some work on it as I do love these style Civics when done up, I think they look awesome. The model she has is...

    Crunching/Creaking Noise When Turning

    I've noticed a crunching/creaking noise coming from the front left wheel when i make a tight turn, say 90 degrees. I've looked around and think it MAY be the ball joint or tie rod causing it. If that is the case, how big (expensive) of a job would this usually be for a mechanic or would it be...

    Looking for some quick pointers

    Actually i did know this as I found out when i changed my Corolla's for some fat tires a while back. Shame too as i had just found some nice Honda 14" rims and tires but they are 195s. Going from 175 to 195 I imagine will be noticeable in difficulty? Although if the wheel is going from steel to...

    Looking for some quick pointers

    Ok so just went for a spin in it and i was wrong, it is a hatchback CX not DX not that probably makes much difference. Looking at the wheels they are 13's with 175/70 tires on. Anyone tell me what the biggest size tire i could put on a set of 14s is without having to roll fenders etc?

    Looking for some quick pointers

    Didn't come with power steering no, but really you could add it? How difficult/expensive would this be as yes the wife then couldnt use her excuse about not driving as she can't park downtown anymore! Can you link me to the window visors yo found as I did find some but with some questionable...

    Looking for some quick pointers

    Sorry i missed a lot of clearly important info! Yes, its a hatchback, pictures attached! The car only has 125k on the clock but I feel it just looks very 'bland' and so would love to spruce it up a bit for the wife. I guess what I'm looking for would be a centre console to fill the carpet bit in...

    Looking for some quick pointers

    I'm new to Civics and until recently any kind of car work until I started doing some work on my old Corolla. I spent a long time researching Corolla topics that unfortunately I can't do this time around for my wife's Civic. I'm hoping some experienced pro can either give me some feedback on the...

    Crashed wifes car while she's away

    I've found a Dorman replacement mirror (wing mirror is what us Brits say) but nothing in Canada so i'm at the mercy of a couple of weeks shipping from the US by the looks of it unless the scrappers have anything which i'll check when they open up next week. The fender i'll try and look up how...

    Crashed wifes car while she's away

    The wife is away and I was doing the right thing, planning to take her little old Civic in for a wash so it was nice and clean when she gets back Monday evening. Forgetting what parking space I was in I reversed out and hit a concrete post on the passenger side like a complete idiot! So now i...

    Repair Rust Around Wheels: 91 Civic

    My wife acquired a 91 Civic a few months ago from her Nanna with about 120ks on the clock. In general in its pretty good condition, I have a list of few things that we are going to try and sort out if possible but the first one that I'm worried about is the rust along the bottom near the rear...
