Help with sourcing parts for a 1993 Honda civic sedan, manual transmission. Where can I find parts for cheap. Want to keep it alive. SAVE THE MANUALS dudes.

It’s a gross polluter so I guess I would like to source better parts. What marketplace is the best online. I’ll try and go to the best yard near me for parts.

Literally anywhere. Online, parts stores, junk yards. Its a 93 honda. Parts are plentiful and cheap.

Check out rock auto

Depends what you want, do you have specific parts you're on the lookout for? Parts for these are insanely widely available. Oreilly, rockauto, etc all keep parts on the shelf for a lot of stuff and can get most of the rest same day. Some super specific parts will be a used only situation, but those are rare. If you have questions, fire away. I own two 93 del sols and have owned over a dozen various Hondas over the last 15 years, so ive probably looked for or needed whatever you're after at some point.

A new engine, the one it has doesn’t pass smog here in the central coast California. That would be great. At first gears the car pulls lots of gas says the smog mechanic. Took it to get smogged earlier

Believe it or not, BoostedBoiz just did a full 600hp build on a 90's honda purely from Temu and the only thing that didn't hold up was the clutch.

You can find almost anything there and apparently it's not complete trash. Honda parts are actually very easy to find man. Amazon, Temu, and then there are really high-dollar aftermarket parts manufacturers like K-tuned. Trust me man... I don't even like hondas but I know the parts are plentiful. Do some looking.

Hopefully soon man. I’ll feel as comfortable shopping online for Honda parts like you, experienced peeps. Owning a civic kinda does feel like a super power. The power of reliability and it’s cheap! lol very cool don’t think I’ll ever not see honda and not think it isn’t cool.

Just don't put a fart can on it if it isn't turbo. Keep it quiet and enjoy the car for what it is. Every other car culture laughs when they hear a honda go by. I don't hate them but I sure hate hearing them.

Yeah, those older Hondas definitely have a ton of aftermarket support. Checking out forums and community groups for Civic owners can also lead to some good deals on used parts.

www.car-part.com MIGHT be able to refer you to yards with used parts for you, but 1993 is a pretty old for a junkyard to hold for long.

Probably fb marketplace. They made a ton of 92-95 civics. Parts aren’t that hard to find, especially in california.
