Replying to: gabriel123 (Mar 26, 2008 10:30 pm) Uhhh, it depends upon whether you want a factory new engine, a rebuilt engine, have your own engine rebuilt, or are using an operable used engine from say a bone yard, I'm thinking that you can probably do the bone yard engine for well under $2,000 (including the cost of the engine).   Best Regards, Shipo
#485 of 496 Sheepskin seat covers by schwindt Apr 30, 2008 (5:54 pm)
I just bought a new 2008 Civic LX Coupe and am looking for sheepsking seat covers - the seat material on the bolsters looks like it will wear out pretty quickly. Does anyone have any experience or recommedations on covers that will work with the side air bags? In Google searching, it looks like www.misssideless.com seems to have a good product, but not much in the way of colors. I particularly like that they use straps and buckles to attach the covers - I have had two sets previously with the standard bungee hooks under the seats, and the elastic wears out pretty quickly. If anyone has any recommendations, I would love to hear your opinions. Thanks! Replies to this message: mycle1000 (May 20, 2008 7:25 am) stevedebi (May 30, 2008 11:17 am)
#486 of 496 Towing a light trailer by woodchuckchuck May 04, 2008 (8:23 am)
I bought my 2008 Civic Hybrid the end of March, and I am still very happy with my choice. The only thing the Prius has over the Civic is the hatchback, which I really wish Honda would consider. I am getting consistently over 47mpg actual (computed when I fill up), while my gauges tell me somewhat less. I commute 40 miles each way, and the guys at work seem very curious about my new ride. Most of them drive macho pickemups like I used to, and seem envious at my cheap gas budget. When I first drove it into my garage the day I bought it, I saw my little homemade sailboat standing in the corner and realized I would have a tough time getting it to the lake 1/2 mile away without my old truck. I asked the dealer about using it to tow a 4x8 light trailer like you would find at Home Depot. He referred me to our local Toys 4 Trucks, who found a hitch for "all" civic models to 2008 for $165 which I could bolt it on myself. I intend to use a trailer infrequently for taking yard waste to the dump, my sailboat to the water, picking up and delivering antique furniture for my refinishing business or dragging my dead motorcycle home if I need to. Nothing more than 1000 lbs including the trailer. There is a plastic pan under the rear which I would have to remove or modify if I were to attach the hitch. I certainly don't want to void any warrantees. Has anyone had any experience towing with a Civic Hybrid?

Replying to: schwindt (Apr 30, 2008 5:54 pm) in my 07 civic manual, it says not to add seat covers to the car. the side airbags would be covered up and not work.
#488 of 496 Recommend vendor? by redflea May 20, 2008 (7:33 am)
Where do you guys buy your Honda parts/accessories, aside from the dealer?   I'm looking to get some door guards for my son's '08 LX sedan, and am looking for a reputable vendor w/good prices.   Thanks. Replies to this message: woodchuckchuck (May 20, 2008 3:54 pm) sparkland (May 30, 2008 1:16 pm)
#489 of 496 Putting on door guards... by redflea May 20, 2008 (7:39 am)
Oh, and when I get the door guards, is installation as simple as tap them on with a rubber mallet, or ?
#490 of 496 Man, you guys are S-L-O-W! :-) by redflea May 20, 2008 (1:17 pm)
Itchy fingers, couldn't wait, ordered from Manchester Motorsports.   Four door guards: $55 Trunk cargo net: $32 Trunk cargo tray: $87.50   http://www.manchestermotorsports.com/   Looked like good prices

Replying to: schwindt (Apr 30, 2008 5:54 pm) As another member has posted, make sure that the seat covers are certified to work with side airbags inside the seats. Otherwise you will cover them up.
