From cat back bigger Pipe and glass pack cost around 150$. Smaller exhaust shops are usually cheaper than big mechanic shops.

you got the timing belt, alternator belt, a/c belt (if equipped), power steering belt(if equipped). i think that's it hope this helps

well im only 13

the best for minimum my guess is

4 spark plugs

spark wires (the come in a set)

oil filter

hubcaps if needed

and mabye ignition coils if they look bad (found advice on someone else comment)

On top of the intake manifold. #20 on this image.

The relay just plugs into the fuse/relay box, installing it means reading the owners manual to determine the correct location and plugging it in.

Timing belts do not slowly go bad and lead to worsening symptoms. One minute the belt is fine, the next, it snaps and the car won't run. It is possible for the belt to jump a gear tooth if it is not installed properly, but this is apparent as soon as the new timing belt is on and you try to start the engine to test it out.

If the car won't start, it might be the battery or starter motor (it would sound weak)

try these first

If your car still won't start, it might be the timing belt, or the fuel filter (or pump)

what?

The brake fluid level may need to be topped off. Otherwise if the light is still on after checking the fluid, the ABS system should be checked by a professional.

Be sure to use the type of brake fluid recommended on the brake fluid cap.

1.7L V4 engine

It is bolted to the rear of the engine. Raise the hood and you can easily see the transmission.

cause its a civic that Honda makes

H4

The 2006 Honda Civic has 42.6 in. of front leg room.

220,000 miles so far with no problems so far outside of the normal upkeep.

Because there using electricity instead of oil.

Electricity can come from many sources- Solar, Wind, Water to name just a few and those are a lot less polluting than Oil. (untrue)

Above is the common misconception. An electric car runs off of a plug and can get a few dozen mile trip in each day, with enough batteries. These cars do help to some slight degree with environmental issues, but are not hybrids.

Hybrids are autos that run from two fuel sources. Normally, production autos use gas and electric as their two fuels. Graders and construction equipment can be hybrids using diesel and gas.

Hybrids do nothing in terms of positive impact on the environment, but do help slightly with our dependence issue on foreign oil. It is quite possible that hybrids are worse for the environment then conventional autos of the same size due to their shorter life span and the wildly bad chemicals used in their production.

Batteries are never an issue for these auto's as the lead and plastic is recycled. The issue is the gases and chemicals used to make the extra electrical components.

Yeah, don't bother with the F22A1, it's a lousy engine. The H series heads will bolt directly on however, regardless of if it's DOHC or SOHC. Look up G23, it's a combination of a F23A1 block and a H22 VTEC head. It makes the same power as a K series at 1/3 the price

dont even bother just put a b series in it and its a direct mount just change the motor mounts. did it on my civic defentaly worth it

Here are the relatively easy steps I took. The alternator is difficult to access, and cannot be removed without removing something--preferrably the easiest thing. # Turn the steering all the way to the left (makes things easier) # Disconnect the battery ground wire. # Jack up the car and remove the front driver's side wheel. # Remove the 2 alternator mounting bolts. Access to top bolt from top, bottom bolt from underneath. # From top or underneath (both are difficult access), rotate alternator so you can remove all the wiring (one plug, one wire wired to the post, and one retaining clamp on the back). # From underneath, move alternator back behind the engine to clear it from the alternator mounting bracket. # From underneath, remove alternator mounting bracket. Two 14 mm bolts (need a socket for one of them). # From side, in wheel well, unscrew back-most plastic screw holding front inside wheel-well splash guard on. # Pull Alternator out just behind the splash guard, flexing it out as you go. # Put the new alternator back in through the same hole. # Set the alternator aside and put the alternator mounting bracket on--tighten it up because you won't be able to access one of the bolts once you put the alternator on.

Notes:

You might want to make sure that the new alternator will fit in the mounting bracket while both new alternator and bracket are off the car. Sometimes the bolt sleeve in the bracket can be too tight and need a little tap to move it out.

You will probably lose the wheel well nut behind the plastic screw retaining the wheel well splash guard; mine fell into the body frame, never to be seen again. To fasten it back, I just used a pinched piece of coat-hanger wire to hook the wheel well back in place and then put some silicone on the hole so that water didn't go into the hole.

Anythings possible with money

I don't know how much it should cost, but I know what it did cost on a 2000 LX model. At a Honda dealer in Bethesda MD the price is $587 parts and labor. I am sure that comparison pricing would result in a lower cost to the consumer.

just recently (feb 2011) replaced 2 bushings on my 2000 lx civic. pepboys wanted ~$450 for labor and parts. cost me about $400 (labor and parts) by bringing it to local mechanic instead. (south eastern PA)
