Just got me a Civic
Hello everyone. I just got me a new to me 98 Civic EX 5 spd. It has 110k on the clock. Silver. Very well kept. I am kinda new to the gassers again. I have been driving only diesel trucks for the past 5 years or so. I might need a refresher...LOL. One thing I have noticed is that there is a ton of play in the shifter. It shifts fine and have not had any trouble, but I would like to tighten it up and maybe add a short shifter. Any thoughts? TIA.

RE: Just got me a Civic
you've got a D16y8 with VTEC, 1.6L, very good base model! There are ALOT of people around here that have built or boosted y8's, so you've got a good start. First off, i'd recommend lowering springs (possibly shocks too), some wheels, then figure out what you want. If you want a turbo DD, start saving up and start looking into piecing together a turbo kit (by reading the stickies in the turbo/nitrous/supercharger section), or if you just want some I/H/E, which can be fun too, read the stickies in the Header, Intake, Exhaust FAQ and learn about which I/H/E would be best for you.
and welcome to HCF!
