Exactly, the coinbox is 3 screws, the hood latch is 2 10 mil bolts, and then u just unbolt the main relay and unplug it, it was hard to get out, but its possible.

thanks guys! i got the relay out and the filter off (which was easy with an impact) and i am going to get new ones tomorrow. i know you said the relay is probably fine crx guy but i am still going to change it anyway. i will let you guys know the outcome.

It certaintly wont hurt to replace it, and that could be it, good luck

well, just pickd up my new fuel filter and relay...once i get them installed i am going to take about the old relay and see if i can see anything wrong with it. these cars are pretty simple to work on i am finding out. this site helps a bunch too. the forum seems prety new so hopefully it will grow. i go to www.2k1civic.com and the layout of that site rocks so maybe if this grows we can do the same. will keep you posted about the relay.

Hey go to this link (http://www.markl.f9.co.uk/howto/electrical/main-relay/main-relay.htm) , it tells you to see if ur relays bad.

well, i posted this once already but it did not work....thanks for that site crx guy!!! that broken relay looked just like my old relay. same freaking cracked solder and everything! since my car went from being my beater to being a daily driver/project car in the week i have owned it, i decided to lower it and just bought some coil overs. would you happen to know a good place to get shocks at a good price? thanks for all your help!

Just go to nopi, more specifically click here (http://www.nopionline.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=dspparts&vL1ID=0&makeid=140&modelid=020&catyear=1990&catid=0010&pcid=453&vTitle=1990%20HONDA%20Civic%20Suspension%20Shock%2 FStrut) I'd say go with Tokico, but KYB is good too, depends on how much u wanna spend, wat I dont know wat to tell u is whether or not to go adjustable, I dont know a lot about struts so I'm not sure wat u would need, u should put a thread up about it. :frog:
