1997 Honda Civic

Absolutely bone-stock ’97 Civic EX with the D16Y8 VTEC. Clean title, automatic, ~153k miles. Bought it as a side project and have been tightening it up piece by piece. Runs and drives, idles smoother after new mounts, and feels solid on the road. Still has a mild misfire at idle, likely tied to a torn intake hose — easy fix or upgrade opportunity. ⸻ 🧰 Recent Work • All new motor and transmission mounts • Fresh fluids (engine oil, coolant, transmission) • Ignition refresh (NGK plugs and wires, cap, rotor) • Interior cleaned and all electronics working • Body is straight, no major rust or damage ⸻ ⚙️ Details / Notes • Original D16Y8 VTEC — runs strong, no smoke • 153k miles, stock engine bay • Auto trans engages fine, mild delay into 1st (fluid clean, may improve with use) • Great base for manual swap, mini-me build, or boosted D-series • Comes on stock wheels with good tires ⸻ 🧩 What It Needs • Intake tube replacement or cold air intake • Fine-tune idle / track down minor misfire • Light cosmetic TLC ⸻ No trades. Cash only. Clean AZ title in hand. If you’re looking for a clean D16Y8 platform that hasn’t been hacked up, this is it. Perfect foundation for a street build or daily you can wrench on.
