[What engine do I have?]

What engine code will I have in my 1999 Civic 1.4 ils, manual?

 

Looking for a cambelt kit and theirs two kits available with a different number of teeth on the belts 

[Civic and VTI/VTI-S suspension the same?]

Fairly new to these Civics. I know a lot about the Rover 400/45 and MG ZS so know they are good cars.

 

Is the Civic VTI suspension different to the standard Civic (non VTI)? Stiffer? Lower?

 

Is the VTI and 'VTI S' suspension the same?

 

What about the Civic 'Sport'?

[What suspension will fit...?]

Why dont you want MG ZS suspension? MG Rover made that car handle absolutely superbly. On par or close to an Integra Type R I believe.

[Anyone re-trimmed their door card material?]

Nope not sorted it yet. I thought that this would have had more responses I must admit. Lots of Civics and Rovers I look at have this problem. The Rover 400 is terrible for it, worse than the Civic. The later 45/ZS seems bettter.

[headlining retrim help needed]

I will be attempting this sometime on my Rover and also my brothers Civic. How many cans of this would be required for 1 head lining? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Trimbond-trim-fix-high-temp-spray-glue-for-general-upholstery-car-trimming-/151206917402?pt=UK_Crafts_Cardmaking_Scrapbooking_Glue_Tape_EH&var=&hash=item2334a2751a

 

Did you do the door cards too?

[Anyone re-trimmed their door card material?]

Very interested to know how. What tools were used and what material?

 

Both my brothers Civic and my Rover 400 have loose door card material (and head linings too!). The Civic I could just buy any Civic, Rover 45 or MG ZS door cards. However with my Rover 400 I am a bit stuck as the interior is grey - which was not an option on the 45 or ZS, and most Civics are black interior too.

[sprung a leak!]

Had this on a Civic and Rover 400 too

[Matt's Multiple MB adventures. Back to the G99P]

A place in Coventry did it for me, so I'm not entirely sure. Cant say I recommend it, the sound got annoying in the end. Plus they put the joins in the wrong place on mine, so when I had to remove it after snapping the manifold, I had to undo the rear shock from the arm, in the rain, at 1 in the morning

 

 

New engine will get it back on the road quicker, might then go about rebuilding it with better components when its out the car

Surely it would be no louder than the side set up you have now?

[1999 Civic 1.4 engine idling to low]

Failing that you might want to adjust the idle screw, think it'll be on the Idle control valve near the throttle body.

 

I did see that and thought of adjusting it. However I remember back on the old Rover 214's that it was suggested never to adjust that as it was set from factory and it would upset the ecu as it will try to counter-act your adjustments?

[Ryan's MB3 Thread]

Drove one of these when it was only a year or two old, diddnt do much for me in all honesty, but then I didnt push it hard. How much can you pick one of these up for now though? Im sure its a better car than a C2. I think I would get a ZR160 over either though

[Matt's Multiple MB adventures. Back to the G99P]

Before this crazy side exit exhaust, back when you had the straight through, was it just normal mild steel? If so how do you go about making it up?

[Matt's Multiple MB adventures. Back to the G99P]

Absolutely loving this car mate, also seen Robins Rover 45 which is so funny. I remember racing him in my old Rover 400 lol

[Honda civic mb2 1.4 clutch adjustment]

Is a 1999 Civic 1.4 5 door hatchback also an MB2? As the car ive just picked up for my brother has lots of free play on the clutch pedal

[Anyone have rusty tailgate hinge area?]

Does anyone have any surface rust, or even proper rot around the tailgate hinges?

[Best Place to buy replacement belts/idler pulley?]

Just purchased a A/C belt tensioner from Kimber Car parts as Euros etc. didn't stock one. The delivery was expensive but part seems ok. Was very slightly different on the front face where the washer and nut sits, however it seems to be doing the job and hasn't flown off yet!

[1999 Civic 1.4 engine idling to low]

Recently picked up a 1999 Honda Civic 1.4 (S or IS I think) for my brother. Needs a couple of bits and bobs doing.

 

The idle doesnt seem quite right. Upon cold start up it will idle normally.

However when it warms up it tends to idle low at times. Particularly if you are driving and dip the clutch, or when stationary if you blip the throttle, the idle seems to dip right down low almost to a stall then settles. Once when I revved it very hard it stalled when the revs dropped.

 

I have removed the throttle body and given it a clean. Doesnt seem to have done much.

 

The air filter looks filthy, so I assume if the air filter looks old the fuel filter probably is just as old too. So both these filters will be replaced. There is also a slight blow to the exhaust. Would any of this cause the low idle issue?

[Which engine do I have?]

Its a 16v but SINGLE CAM I believe?

[Which engine do I have?]

What engine name/code would be in a 1999 Honda Civic 1.4 IS 5 door.

 

I need a new tensioner for the AC compressor belt.

[Rover MBv6?]

Unbelievably I just came across this thread and was scrolling though it when I saw the pics of the ZS sat on those wheels and thought I recognised that car! I picked up a Fork Kuga from a customer last week and saw your ZS sat there and remember having a look at it. Very nice indeed.

[Clutch pedal slow to return]

What would cause the clutch pedal on a 1999 Civic 1.4 5 door to be heavy and slow to return. Partially seizing clutch release arm?
