    Speedo cluster swaps

    did u read my post? the second post just tells me it's plug and play... not an answer to my question. I'm talking about moving the actual center gauge on my DX (the one that has the mileage info) to the new EX cluster and replacing the center gauge(with mileage) that came with it. i...

    Speedo cluster swaps

    newbie Q... Is there a how-to on swapping the center gauge from my current cluster to an EX cluster? I want the tach and all that but I want to keep the actual mileage of my DX.

    Loud humming noise @ 40-50mph

    I replace the tranny fluid with Pennzoil Syncromesh, and it drives fine normally. The tires could be agood possibility, BUT the sound happens at cruising speed between 45-50MPH. I go below it or about that speed...no sound. But as soon as I hit the 45mph mark, it comes on and I'm not pressing...

    Loud humming noise @ 40-50mph

    Need help on diagnosing this noise on my 98 DX. When driving normally, I get a metallic humming noise at around 40-45mph. The noise goes when I press down on the gas and the speed goes up, but as soon as I hit around 45mph, under 50mph, the noise comes back. Any suggestions on what it could...

    D16Y8 PCV Valve Change

    I know this is kind of an old thread, but I wanted to reply for the D16Y7 owners. I replaced the PCV valve on the Civic DX when I changed my oil. It was much easier get to the PCV valve from under the car, once you remove the oil filter. Taking the filter off will give you a better access to...

    Buzzing noise after ES shifter bushing install

    Wondering if someone can shed a light on this.... I installed the Energy Suspension shifter bushing on my 98 DX and now I'm getting a "buzzing" sound shifting to 2nd and 3rd gear. It sounds like a heatshield or something, but I can't pinpoint it. The clutch drives fine, but it does have 87K...

    When Did You Replace Your Timing Belt?

    Wow.. some pretty good mileage on the original timing belts. My uncle's Civic HX has over 120K on his original timing belt. No problems on the car so far. but i'm sure he will get it done soon. My 98 DX had 86K miles when i bought it. hopefully it will last me a bunch more miles so I can...

    pcv valve installation

    Yeah the location of the PCV valve on the 98 DX really sucks! :x I changed my oil and decided to change out the pcv valve as well. It was a bit more easier from under the car with the oil filter off. BUT it was still a PITA installing it with the lack of room to move around. It certainly is...

    pcv valve installation

    The service manual pic helps but when i actually am looking at my engine bay, that PCV valve seems hard to find. hehe... I gotta figure out how to remove that air filter box. Does removing the pcv valve from underneath the car make it easier than from the top? I might just do it when I change my...

    OEM miata wheels on a 96 dx hatch?

    Well if the offset, bolt pattern and everything is the same as the 96-98 Civic then it shouldn't be a problem. People might just say crap about running Mazda wheels on a Honda, but if you like them... go for it. ;) Just verify the specs and make sure they fit correctly. They look pretty good...

    ok my junkyard sucks will 5th gen fit 6th gen?

    bump this up... I went to a salvage yard and they had tons of 88-94 Civics, with a couple of Prelude and CRX Si's as well... Anyone know what parts would fit my 98 Civic DX? They have engines and tons of body parts. Would any of the 90-94 Civic gauge clusters fit my DX? I need a damn...
