alright lern me up

98 is a good start as for spec. and all that tec crap thats up in the air with as much miles you have on that a rebuild kit is in your future before you start anything other than that i used this website lots i did the hard part for you everything on this page well fit your civic

but i dont know if you have a hatchback or what not so i picked sedan LX
