Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

195k. it has a z6 though so the idk what engine milage is because the vx didnt come with a z6. the beast runs pretty good though.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

Good buy for the price fo sho

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

----... for a G that's a pretty good deal indeed...

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

Looks like a girl used to drive it. I wonder what it wasnt bounced off of. :4

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

VX FTW!! Lighter model, black interior(if it doesn't then they usually have a nasty blue one), sweet wheels, dope Z1 engine. I like the vtec-e engines. 8) I think it was a nice buy, Just get the bumpers repainted and it should pretty decent. I used wheel spacers since the stock vx rims have the offset of a spare. Once I kicked them out with a spacer and got some nice Advan Race tires on them it, they were perfect.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

i love white hatchs.. :-[

how much for those tailights? ^-^

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

NICE deal.....everything except that ricer dash heh i see that silver or grey.....those only come in black......slam it those wheels can look very good on that car....cf hood cf duckbill rooof painted black.....that thing could be real sweet...

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

HA or boost it for the price of that or a swap.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

i thought it had the z6 motor in it...not stock of course but i could have sworn someone said that a few posts up .....either way things you would notice with the vtec-e motor is not hearing vtec...and sweet gas mileage...those motors were designed as emissions vehicles...as if just owning a honda wasnt enough....the vtec deal isnt your average vtec it only lifts more on the intake or exhaust side not both....i should know which one i just forget......but either way they stilll make just as much power as the z6 or y8 just a little different thats all

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

Wrong......a vx engine makes about 90hp. It's a 1.5. The z6 makes around 125hp and it is a 1.6.

NOW the HX engine on the 96+ civic is a 1.6 vtec-e that makes about 115hp as opposed to the 127 the y8 makes.

So for his year that hatch and engine does not make about the same power as a z6 or a y8. On the next gen civic the HX engine does make about 10hp less that the other two.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

98 hp on the z1 i believe. its slow as balls. but ima clean it up so it will be a nice little daily.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

hey as long as you can keep that in your head and try not to act on it. Good. It will give you good ass gas mileage and will be a reliable comuter.

problem is, we all say that, and end up messing around with the cars anyways. My WRX was supposed to go untouched. that lasted about 2 days.

The only one I haven't touched yet is the Element, and that's just because the civic is getting some love right now, and the subaru is in the shop getting repainted. Once I'm done with those two who knows. A turbo element sounds fun........

Enjoy.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

yea i have already thought bout putting the turbo kit on this instead, and some suspension, and wheels, etc etc. But i gotta keep in mind my ef is a lot closer to being boosted than this car. ill pry just clean this car up, drive it a little and sell it to make some profit. i wonder how much i could sell it for? who knows.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

depend on how clean you can get it.
swap a d or non vtec b and call it a day.. 2800? 3000 if you get it real clean interior looks a little ehhhkk

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

eh, leave the current engine if its a d, and in decent condition if its just a daily driver
matt

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

I'll give you $1200 and gas money meet halfway I live on indiana and you're making a profit already the way it is

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

1600 plus gas.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

ok so power is off.....but the whole E thing is correct from what i understand....

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

---- for 1500 you could have a boosted beast. dont sell boost the ---- out of it. Let me know when this happens<. I want to watch the fireworks! :y

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

car is for sale. dont have the space for it. 1600. im in southeast wisconsin

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

---- it takes me two months to get around a 1g where im stuck working lol. 1600 is a bit high? itll probally sell for 1000-1200 dollars.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

actually everything you said is wrong. ALL D series engines ONLY have vtec lobes on the intake side of the cam, ALL OF THEM. the differance between vtec and vtec-e is vtec-e runs 12valves (1 intake valve 2 exahust per cylinder) until vtec crossover then the other intake valve operates as the first to give 16valve, DOES NOT LIFT ANY MORE WHEN VTEC CROSSES OVER. the 49 state z1 also uses a wideband o2 and has a LEAN burn mode that can go as lean as 24:1 w/out detonating. couple this to the long gears and a 3.25 final drive and you have a 50mpg daily NOTHING ELSE. 92chp and 98ctq is whats advertised. the vx also uses an EGR valve. and has MANY good traits besides fuel mileage: 9lbs wheels, aluminum a/c compressor mounting bracket, aluminum alternator mounting bracket, and THE LIGHTEST OEM D series flywheel. there is alot more info i could provide, but i doubt anybody cares enough for me to waste my time typing. not to mention i garentee someone is gonna argue with atleast one thing i have said already.

OP: if you care to make it even enjoyable to drive (at most enjoyable) swap the final drive with an ex (4.25). you could swap the whole gearsets and be even better, or do a hybrid gearset with whatever final drive etc, but in my FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE, the only thing worthwhile is swapping gears/final drive, dont do ANY other mods unless you are gonna boost it.

Re: new daily driver. yea its a honduuuhhh
 

1600 for an eg that hasnt been raped and has no rust is a pretty good deal. your broke ass needs to get a better job.
