Picking up a Honda


Rhett

Recommended Posts

So I am going to pick up a 1998 Honda Civic EX 2 Door Auto tomorrow. It has 152,xxx with 1.6 What all should I look for? I know of Honda Cancer but what else should I look for?

 

For those Curious I am trading it for my Jeep with 204k and a few minor issues (Tie Rods, AC Selector switch and exhaust leak) for this Civic with a cracked rear bumper and the hood latch needs replaced.

Cracked exhaust manifolds, (Advance in Pataskala had one in stock), exhaust systems, CV boots/shafts, ball joints, etc. are all pretty common. I just got done doing quite a bit of work on a 97 EX, and it was honestly probably the easiest car I've ever worked on. Did every gasket/seal (including head gasket)on the engine, all hoses, belts, t belt/tensioner/wp, and exhaust manifold and had it done in a couple afternoons. Everything was in stock at the parts store, and all of the parts were pretty inexpensive.

GF has a 2000 civic with the split exhaust. She said the original was 1 piece between the manifold and cat. When she had it replaced she said it's now a 2 piece. What exhaust manifold does it need now?

Mine has a 2 piece setup. A relatively short manifold and then a 2 foot pipe that bolts to the cat.
