Do anyone have civic 1997/98 headlights nd front bumper.???

[waleed2409]

Yes i have.
But they are installed on my car.

I just bought a 96 model. The suspension feels like dead, its jumpy on plain roads aswell. My mechanic says all the bushes and all 4 shocks need to be changed and he is like total suspension work csn cost you from 60-70k to a lac.

I wanna confirm if the suspension costs this much than I don’t need to get my hands dirty right now as I don’t have the budget.

My suspension is also very bad. But I think your mechanic's estimation is inaccurate.

[rajaahmed96]

For new japanese parts its going to cost him this much. RBI bushing, 555 suspension parts and KYB japan shocks.

[Hassan1991]

Yes brand new stuff is expensive. You can visit shops and ask for prices yourself.

[ghulammurtazam]

Can I not go for new suspension right now, can the suspension be repaired in 10-20k so the ride feels a little better.

I don't wanna do jugaars, just trying to find the best midway option or should I not? coz the mechanic says agr budget abhi nai he tou khulwao bhi nai

[Hassan1991]

You can go for kabli then.

[adilraza]

Kyb japan 22000 new shocks all 4.
480-500 rbi bushes i believe total of 32 bushes and for the larger rare bushes each costs around 2200-2300. After including the costs of remaining suspension parts and labour you will end up with a reduction in your total fortune by around 55 to 60k.
Good luck.

[ghulammurtazam]

Thanku Adil, what about the coil springs. I think they need to be changed as well, how much will they cost.

[adilraza]

Get them inspected. These normally need not to be changed. Don't know if new ones are available.

[adilraza]

And in case you can't spare that much money then just get the front suspension done initially. It's gonna cost you around 20 - 25 k depending upon the labour costs. Never go for kabli or used shocks.

[Deadly_Flame]

Aoa, guys any idea where I can get the CVT filter for d15b VTEC? Not sure if it is available in the markets.

[nfssaad]

maximum cost of all 4 shock absorbers brand new chinese/taiwanese will be Rs 24,000.

maximum cost of all bushes front and rear will be approximately 20,000. (RBI brand)

labor for installation will be maximum rs 5000.

if you are in karachi, i can advise where to buy the parts

Hi everyone!

Is it still feasible to purchase a Honda Civic 1996-2000 for family use?

I visited Taxila market yesterday and found a couple of Civic 1996-2000s in decent condition. Originally, I was looking for a cultus but the car got my eyes and now I am genuinely thinking to buy one so if anyone of you who actually own these variants can contribute a little, it would be a great help to me in taking the final decision.

Also, please if you can let me have an idea about the fuel average, parts cost etc and if you can give me an idea about the price range for a decent conditioned car.

I would be highly thankful to you!

[ghulammurtazam]

Yes I am in khi, that info would he helpful and also a mechanic who is good in suspension if you know one

Also guys, my car is 200k driven, engine has been changed in once but no idea when so I don’t know if I should use thick oil or thin? Can you guys help out here

[nfssaad]

average is about 10-12 km/liter for manual 1.5liter civic.

parts are available and not really expensive. cheaper chinese / taiwanese alternatives are also available

[nfssaad]

for suspension go to one and only afzal bhai. he will tell you whats wrong. 03002116069

he will also repair all 4 of your shock absorbers for less than 10k.

I just had rear bush replacement and 4 shock absorber rebuilt for 9k,

i bought the bushes from Nasir Motors in plaza market. the shop is on main road. if you are going on ma jinnah road coming from quaid mazar, take a u turn from tibet center signal. the shop will be to your left. mostly parking is available at this spot, but better go on a rickshaw.

the rear bushes complete set was for 8k, last time i bought. rates may have increased now.

nasir is a one stop shop for honda parts, they only deal in honda parts. but a bit expensive. but you will save a lot of time going their to buy parts directly.

[nfssaad]

afzal shop is in jacob line. named afzal autos.

theres a chai paratha shop on the left and a chicken shop on the right.

early morning is the best time to go. reach by about 9 30, before shop opens. your car will be first in line for work then. have chai paratha while you wait for afzal bhai.

keep in mind approximate full day of work to get your car ready.

afzal bhai can also arrange for bushes / parts too or advise you where to get parts.

axles, suspension, steering racks, ball joints etc are his works.

[ghulammurtazam]

thank you I will contact afzal bhai and yes you are right about nasir motors I also have been buying my honda parts from there only.

Any advice on the engine oil?
