    O2 Sensor Bypass

    Just buy an extended o2 bung off ebay for like 8$. I like the 90 degree ones that way the o2 is really out of the exhaust stream

    LED headlight options: 1999 Civic

    Morimoto has stayed out of the led game until recently but check out the morimoto 2stroke led bulbs. I trust morimoto enough that I would buy them but I can't comment on their quality since I don't own a pair. My morimoto d2s hid kit though has worked wonderful for 2 years now with no issues

    Where is my cat??

    Did your cat get stuck in a tree? A cx has the catalytic converter under the hood on the exhaust manifold, the 3 bolt flange is for the cat to bolt up to under the car (ex/si)

    wanna give my engine more power

    A b16a2(99-00 si engine) would help make it feel faster but not much, turbo is the way to go but expect to spend at least 2500 for a good setup and a good tune. If you do it cheaply you will be paying for parts twice later down the road

    Planing a turbo build on a 1999 civic ex D16y8

    What are your goals? No need for cam unless you want more than 400hp. Go autoworks is amazing and so is xenocron tuning, expect to spend at least 500 on ecu stuff and tuning for the car to run right. You will need larger injectors for a turbo build and most likely a larger fuel pump and...

    Turbo ready a D16Y7

    Why 10-15 psi? You can win with 1 psi or lose with 50psi, it's all in the tune and size of turbo. If you want to go above 11 psi you will need a larger 2-4bar map sensor. The k20 si only makes like 197hp so you should be OK with stock block, stock fuel pump, larger injectors,arp head studs...

    Window & lock issues: 6th gen.

    since its new to you, you do know you have to hold the inner door handle out while pressing the lock and unlock if a door is open? a common problem with civic are the door locks/power windows not working because of the driver side door plug that is part of the floor harness (wires pull out of...

    Red bulb on top of steering column

    this sounds like an aftermarket alarm, most likely a cheap one or a really old model which you will find hard to buy a new remote for either case. the black push button on the kick panel below is most likely the valet button but you need to know the button combo for it to work. start by...

    Bad gas mileage

    Must remember you get zero mpg warming your car up. Warming it up 20 minutes a day every day of the week until you fill up next time has probably used close to a gallon of fuel (just estimating here)

    CA Emissions test: use racing fuel?

    Use a bottle of 90% alcohol from a store (run your tank down close to empty and add the bottle of alcohol then drive around a bit). Ca/NY compliant cats are not cheap but a universal weld in is about 160$, I see that you have a dx though so you have to replace the whole manifold which will run...

    Bad gas mileage

    Flamethrower ignition coil, is this the one that allows 2 step launch control to dump raw fuel into the exhaust to produce flames out the exhaust? Ya that will cause bad gas mileage if your over here being a ricer revving at everyone at stop lights.

    turbo ek: exhaust smoking, high idle

    What size turbo and oil or water cooled? It might be to much oil flow for the turbo or something else

    Just buy a Canadian Sir front and rear bumper and some 96-98 ctr headlights to have a clean 96-98 front end

    1996-1998 front end conversion to 99-00

    Just buy a 99-00 ctr front end conversion and get all the sexy bits (that is if you have a black or a white civic or like rocking multi colored cars)

    Intercooler routing with ramhorn mani.

    Like said clock the compressor housing down and use a u bend pipe and a L bend pipe to attach turbo to ic. Or buy a back door intercooler and run a straight pipe from the back of the intercooler directly to the turbo

    99-00 bumper on 97 Civic Hx

    i forget who makes them or if they are still manufactured but somebody somewhere makes a 96-98 bumper with the 99-00 foglight spots, or you could modify yours to look the same.

    97 civic mods?

    I have no idea, never done one myself. I would guess a few hundred if you go to pick and pull and get all the lines and the clutch pedal and master cylinder (probably want a new master though) and shift linkage. I personally would buy a new clutch for the install, then if you want a short throw...

    97 civic mods?

    Best bang for your buck would be a manual swap and get a good gear ratio, most go for ex/Si d16 transmissions. After that nothing will really help your civic unless you have money for forced induction or really deep pockets for N/A power. If you take your time and find deals you can be...

    Fan issue, blower motor resistor?

    Yes the fan speed switch on the dash is another common issue, if not that then it's a blown fuse/wire

    Fan issue, blower motor resistor?

    Your going to have to check the on/off speed switch to make sure it's not burned up and then if that's not the issue it's wiring. I'm currently in the same boat with my 02 accord and the blower resistor was 75$
