very quick question, wasnt sure who to ask
120 000km service on a 1992 civic eg si, approx cost that i'd be looking at? i heard it's a major service, what is done, and how much will it set me back (roughly)
i dont have any log books or manuals etc, so im not sure where to look for the answer!
thanks!
has the timing belt be replaced?
i BELIEVE it was done on the 100 000km
but the person i bought it off turned out to be a bit of a shiester in some aspects, so i dont even know..
so, with and without, costs and what will they do??
oil $49 Honda
oil filter $10-14 Honda
plugs $30 Honda (for four)
adjust belts
inspect water pump
replace timing belt (if it hasnt already)seals
inspect tension pulley
transmission fluid
air filter
fuel filter
prob brake flush/adjust/inspection/adjust handbrake
I'd flush the clutch fluid line as well (easy job)
that's just off the top of my head
when I supplied the parts to get my timing belt, water pump and power steering fluid changed it was $400 in labour alone
wow, that is pretty substantial..
i might even sell the car before then, or atleast ease up on the mods to save some money
thanks EK, super helpful!

its a 4.5 hour job
most places charge 70 to 100 per hour
you also have to adjust the tappets
It's a 120K service on the B18 isn't it?
Not just a D16, any difference?
yep yep it's a b18c2, prob shouldve said that!
still no differenace
may a slight price differance on the fuel and ir filter, but the rest of the work and parts are the same.
lol where u going someones backyard, geez man shit that made me laugh a lilQuote:

i do all the work on my car myself so i havent had a mechanic touch it in over 2 years. Unless the prices have gone up. I wasnt referring to honda mechanics i was referring to your Corner store every day jo blow "Place suburb here Mechanics".Quote:

hmmm i must be out of the times. meh...
performance shops around here are minimum 100
I would never pay that much, as most Ive seen have younger blokes prob in thier 3rd yr working on my pride and joy and they can be sure I wont pay more than 60-70hr if thats the case and Im still raw at paying that much (I see their rate at less than 30hr as I cansee them potentially not doing the job right first time)
then Id still will end up driving to NSW as too many ppl I know here in QLD pay good dollars for average/below av. work and av. tune
Meh just do it all yourself...its the easiest thing to do. I can understand the timing belt can be a little hard for some young numbs but its still manageable with some advise. Save yourself a crap load...
i only ever go to a performance workshop for tunes...Not confident enough to do them myself.
yea drop 600 for a tune everyblue moon is reasonable
then again my buddy just paid a hair under 8k for a new snail, boost pc and software with tune to get his current setup to 18psi and 300rwhp
Id never bother changing a timing belt on a fwd unless the engine was already out, too much work, soo someone else's job as it comes up every 100000ks... thats just me anyhow
I dont want to buy a car off you lol if you never change ur timing beltsQuote:

like many other time conscious consumers :)
o i thought u didnt do it at all lol but it is very important to doQuote:

but a major service would be roughly 400-600 total.
and buying the kit from the us :)
