Honda Civic 96-00 Ups/Downs

[chieffy]

problema ko rin iyang central door lock at power windows...mapapansin mo pa na sira na yung tint sa dulo ng salamin ng driver's side...

sirain ang trailer arm bushing nito pero kahit di mo ipagawa okay lang daw as per service manager ng isang delarship ng honda noon kaya di ko pa rin pinapalitan yung sa akin hanggang ngayon...suspension ko sa harap okay pa naman hanggang ngayon...depende na lang siguro sa gamit...

Well, I own a 96 Civic Vti. I had the following parts replaced just recently:

Front shock absorbers
tie rod
rack end
bushings
auxilliary fan

It wasn't cheap. In fact, it drilled a pretty deep hole in my pocket. But, in retrospect, the ride is much better now. Kung sabagay, it's the first major repair/replacement done on the car since it was bought in 96, so I guess its not that bad.

Nakakagulat lang initially since you expect Civics to be rock solid cars in terms of reliability. I guess its also a function of age.

i own a 1996 civic VTi (mt)

positive points
- nice ride
- Good OEM front speaker
- suspension is softer/comfortable than most models/cars of its same age
- driver site is good
- aircon is superb (next to nissan's calsonic)
- looks are good in all angles
- parts are abundant be it replacement or original
- very easy and cheap to modify/beautify

negative points
- takaw "hamon karera" lalo na kapag SIR look
- run channel needs to be cleaned regularly particularly at the onset of rainy season or else the window will stuck-up
- you have to be good in avoiding those potholes or else you will replace your suspension parts often

curious lang, may naka-pagconvert na ba into gas shocks sa mga naka ek civics? thinking about converting mine e, either bili ng bago or have zee do it...pero gusto ko malaman kun ano mangyayari sa ride quality.

btw, i have a 96 Lxi a/t. wasak na suspension ko ehehehe.

afaik gas shocks naman tlga yung sa EK's.. last car na ata namin na fluid shocks eh yung sentra 92 :p

[voltscastillo]

parang hindi bro e, may oil weep sa right front dampers e.

oops, parang OT na hehe

Ako po nakapag convert na. Pero naman daw po conversion yun ... dahil Gas daw talaga ang rear ng Civic. Front lang daw ang fluid. Pinalagyan ko ng 100psi na pressure.... much better sya kesa dati.
