Why This is the Best Civic - 1995 Honda Civic DX Review

[@DarkMatter.Uno1]

Still got mines to this day , can’t lie 1992-1995 were one of the best years for civics

[@secondhandspeed]

Yeah it’s really great behind the wheel. Even stock form it’s fun to cruise and take it to a backroad

[@xRomeo999]

I spun out my 95 civic lx sedan in November my first car. It had about 350000 miles with the original motor and transmission too. Damn tough ass car. My heart is broken 😢

[@secondhandspeed]

Yeah I no longer have this car and I honestly miss having it. Luckily I more cars but these slush boxes are fun

[@jtlathe]

I have a 1994 with 260000 miles. I will never get rid of it! Runs great.

[@seattlejdmcivic]

I've owned over 30 Hondas since the early 2000s and MY 1995 HONDA CIVIC EX COUPE I've had for well over a decade and is now a full-blown track car Started off with a fully built all motor d16 z6 pushing almost 200 hp naturally aspirated which was almost unheard of....... Now it has a k24 block and a K20 head...... BUT I MUST SAY....... The 92-95 is my favorite generation of Civic out of the golden era of Hondas........ The ex model does get WAY MORE STORAGE I get door pockets on the lower part of the doors the coin storage up in front of the cup holders and armrest in the center console that opens up plus the glove box And then with the ex model you obviously get power steering AC cruise control ABS four-wheel disc brakes power windows power locks sunroof Mine is now a bare Bones race car nothing but two racing seats and everything behind the front seats has got it out and no more AC no more power steering no more cruise control no more ABS converted it to a DX manual rack and pinion With a crazy custom two tone paint job but not your typical ricer two tone paint job..... It's the original black on the bottom half but then the hood the roof and the trunk and just underneath the windows it flows with the body line the top half is this crazy candy blue and black Galaxy paint mix with tons of metallic flake in it something you would see on an old school lowrider I love my 1995 Honda Civic coupe I've had the DX I've owned multiple of the 92 to 95 coupes I've had EF hatchbacks I've had CRX I've had integra's I've had an Eck 99 to 2000 coupe I've had an RSX I've had an S2000....... A very very rare edition 2004 Honda Accord V6 6-speed manual coupe with the hfp Honda factory performance package and they only made 500 of them But at the end of the day my 95 Civic EX will always be my pride and joy and my baby and that's why I made it into a track car and no longer daily drive it for close to 7 years

[@vanhasydan4754]

I've always loved the 92-2000 Civics/Del Sol after having owned 2 plus a DC integra. The EX had the D16Z6 (92-95) or D16Y8 (96-2000). Straightforward, simple, reliable. Only issue is the camber and toe arm in the rear suspension but that's correctable. I'm 5'4. Note: from what I have read, theres a way to change the center console out for one from an EK.

[@secondhandspeed]

These civic are the best daily driver cars. Finding a clean untouched one is super hard. They are simple and easy to fix. The Del Sol are nice.

[@gobeklipepe]

Had a 1989 Honda CRX. The best go to ride. Got my 2015 blackout Honda Civic Coupe because of the CRX memories.

[@secondhandspeed]

I’d love to drive a crx. I’ll have to find one soon

[@gobeklipepe]

@@secondhandspeed I sold it to a friend several years ago. I mis it so bad. Was a super simple zippy car.

[@secondhandspeed]

@@gobeklipepe I imagine it didn't weigh a lot either.

[@gobeklipepe]

@@secondhandspeed forgot the exact weight but it was under a coupe civic. I can still hear the old school buzz chime when I started it. Good times 😭

[@tylerspeak8325]

Just got my first 95 civic coupe 5 speed and I’m in love with it. Just ordered new non abs brake booster and master cylinder. She’ll need some love but such a incredible car 🖤❤️ easy and affordable to work on

[@bigbadcivic2]

i love my '94 ej1.. it's d16z9 engine has got a revision so while it's about to hit 300k km. it runs like new

[@usernameremoved]

got a 5th gen civic coupe as my first car and ive loved them since. its perfection to me lol

[@wismozen]

Great video bro, I really enjoyed it a lot !!!!!

[@Spirt_T]

Gotta 1995 Honda civic dude never regretted sense. This will be. My last Honda tho

[@mugenlee8276]

5th design the best ! No "nose" front bonnet ,what make it nice ! and special !!! 😘😘

[@GoneAsGoneCanBe]

I have owned a DOHC ZC swapped 91 Rio Red DX Hatchback, a 96 Granada Black Pearl DX Hatchback, a 95 Frost White EX Coupe, and am currently driving a 98 Vogue Silver EX Coupe. I LOVE the Hatchbacks over the coupes, as they are just so damn practical, storage for DAYS. But 95% of all Civic hatchbacks, ef, eg, or ek, are just tattered and ran through at this point and the other clean, unmodified/tastefully modified 5% are being sold at triple or quadruple KBB value. Also finding any 3 pedal Civic runs into the same 95/5% issues. Which is why my current civic is an automatic. I still paid too much, but it wasn't modified at all, clean as clean can be. Have since rebuilt the suspension, every single bushing, bearing and ball joint has been replaced, disc swapped the rear and found a decent set of LS Meshies with plans to manual and motor swap it soon.

[@drivingdaily582]

My favorite one for sure...i miss my hatchback, but thankfully i still have the EJ1 coupe right now, qnd youre rightvabout being able to work on them. Great cars.

[@sheldonlamey7010]

the coil usually goes out at about 25-30 years of use which is more than fine for any car part.

[@secondhandspeed]

I imagine it’s bad but we’ll see

[@Loliconman]

For me its the ecu. 2 died in 4 months.

[@sheldonlamey7010]

The World needs to appreciate 5th gen Coupes more thanks a lot for this 🔰🏎️

[@secondhandspeed]

Yes they should.

[@rogerguo8352]

great vid man!

[@sheldonlamey7010]

Try to recalibrate the TPS with a volt meter stick a needle in the back of the TPS plug

[@secondhandspeed]

Yup I used a multimeter to calibrate the TPS.

[@sheldonlamey7010]

DX trim uses different ( cheaper) fabrics on the door cards and seats than the EX even the dome light is different smaller I think.

[@secondhandspeed]

Yup and I’m sure the DX models are easier to find in manual

[@GoodGuyJason25]

Bro 👉 your complaining about not having a place for your phone😅😅😅 "Hello"There was no Smartphones in 1995!!!!!

[@drivingdaily582]

"just bring water bottles' so true!

[@FungusUnited]

Just bought one off the marketplace for 2.5k an EX it was listed for 3k and now were working on the interior and adding custom shit to it.

[@SOBEKALKEBULAN-ie4jh]

My first car was a red 95 Honda Civic EX coup. 1.6 V'tech

[@FungusUnited]

just bought myself one for 2.5k EX

[@imranshah-ll1wk]

I owned 95 civic with the engine swapped from a 2005 civic I wish I could share photos 😂

[@mugenlee8276]

2:45 see the sportiness stylish dash design by Honda ! 😍 How i fall in love ! first enter colleague cars ! in 2004 instant Love! 😍 Door handle! Starter sound ! Mine is 4 door sedan with power steering, power window, Rear seat Foldable, with rpm, kmh, Foldable cup holder but Auto 1.6 😁due to terrible jam here

[@theDrzhivargo]

man that thing needs a complete revamp

[@sheldonlamey7010]

No it's fine as is only fix rust damage if any . Old cars tend to look old .

[@SuperCheesemaniac]

Map sensor perhaps 🤔 happened to my 98 converted to obd1

[@secondhandspeed]

Im thinking map or intake. Acts like there is a leak.

[@223criz2]

I bought one as my first car and learned stick shift with my dad !!! I love this car, not even a year with it and I’ve made a bunch of memories with it.

[@secondhandspeed]

There is nothing better than learning to drive manual in an old honda. Once you start driving manual especially in these old hondas you just don't want to stop driving. I want another one some day.

[@esaiduron4423]

Great video man! By any chance are you selling that civic? :)

[@secondhandspeed]

Thanks bro! No sadly the civic is gone :(.

[@marius_447]

nice video , respect !

[@hashslash9718]

Where did you get the stock muffler from? I’m trying to make my 6th gen quieter

[@secondhandspeed]

I had a parts car but eBay is a good place to find them

[@tonyinpeace]

Found one for 2.5 with 200k miles worth it?

[@AutoRevLife]

Seems like a bit much. What's the condition?

[@teresahernandez917]

Need help to fix my, can you help iam in L A

[@owendavis4699]

Such a great car but unfortunately very hard to find these days

[@secondhandspeed]

Agreed. Not many around tons have been recked or rusting out. It was fun having this thing for a short time.

[@dailygrindtv8698]

I will buy 1995 civic nxtweek😆 little nervous thats why I need to bring a mechanic

[@seattlejdmcivic]

I KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS WITH YOUR THROTTLE I've had a 95 Civic EX for over a decade and owned over 30 Hondas If your idle does that when it's cold it is your fast idle valve which is bolted onto the bottom of the throttle body and you can take that off clean it out with brake cleaner tighten the throttle screw down inside of it all the way down or 3/4 of the way down that will solve the idle up and down when the car is cold...... If it does it once it's warmed up then it is the IAC valve..... The IAC valve you can replace and buy new don't bother trying to clean that one but the fast idle valve you can no longer get them and cleaning them will fix the problem BEEN THERE DONE THAT DEALT WITH IT ON MY D16 Z6 WHEN I GOT MY COUPE OVER 10 YEARS AGO AND I'VE DEALT WITH IT ON MULTIPLE OTHER HONDAS THAT I'VE HAD OBD1 civics have the fast idle valve underneath the throttle body that does that idol issue when it's warming up and an idle air control valve that causes that idol issue once it's warmed up where is OBD2 Hondas like EK civics 96 to 2000 only have the IAC valve no fast idle

[@secondhandspeed]

Thanks for the valuable info! That issue has been driving me nuts but now I know what the issue and symptoms are.

[@frias2287]

🔥🔥🔥

[@secondhandspeed]

It’s a great civic!
