Just a quick question:

Are the engines found in the 96-00 Honda Civic CX and DX the same?

Any input is appreciated.

Thanks

 

Ecu

only Difference

 

whats different about the ECU

please explain?

 

not that its the motor... but i believe they have different gears in the trannies....

the cx makes less power then the dx to doesn't it??

 

i think they are the same engine D16Y7 isnt it? Maybe the power features added if any maybe A/C , not sure though, also I didnt know the ECU was different?

 

i got a CX-G
its got the D16Y7
AC
rear wiper
tach
4 speakers
i know theres something else im missing i think lol

 

So what does the '00 DX SE model have over the regular DX then?

I thought only the DX had the arm rest.

 

SE has
A/C, power doorlocks, body colored handles, keyless entry and a whole lot of 106HP and thats it i think

 

i think your right
but as far as i know
none of the Hatchs came with armrests (i think)

 

CX and DX in 96-00 were mechanically identical, only diff was in options it came with.

 

I've seen DX hatches with arm rests.
Maybe it was an option?

 

Mine has an armrest

 

well i know mine is not a 96-00 model, but mine is a 95 SE, and it is "special" because it comes with an armrest, and the only other thing I can see different about it that it has the word "civic" written as an emblem at the back..

I THINK special just means little knick knacks like armrests or gold emblems etc..

 

'92-'95 Ex sedans came with an armrest too, i have one pretty sure the Ex-v did too..

 

My 99CX has no arm rest, with only 2 speakers in the front, not back

 

well i stole my Armrest outta of a complete RECK at a junk yard
im still missin a few peices like the backing on it and the bracket inside of it to keep it stable

Theres a a blue EK hatch?!
I've NEVER seen one!
Someone post pics!

So was A/C an option on the CX, or just the DX?

 

Blueish colour for 96-98 I should say. Sorta like dark blue, darker then 99-00 SIR Blue.

AC was option for both CX and DX.

 

i don't think theres a Factory Blue for the Hatchs never seen one at all

but i had mine painted to blue



the PLUM (DAP) was on the 96-98, never seen a 99-00 that colour.
my 97 CX came with Factory Black Steelies with the 8 hole hub caps.
the Sunroof was an Option on the DXs
