:D You mean WANNA BE Mack Daddy's and Pimps :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Advantages of an SI? Ummm... rear disc brakes? Thats all I care about :devil:

SI's have all of the performance parts and rear disc brakes and SI RIMS and most importantly:o The B16 DOHC VTEC (8000 RPM)
No after hearing all of this why would you want to get a Civic EX SOHC VTEC (7000 RPM) It's like night and day.......Besides with an EX you might end up with an automatic........
SI's also have hot back lights........

The SI has a DOHC (dual camshafts) as opposed to SOHC (single). The SI is the car to go with if you plan on turbo or any high performance engine upgrades...get a '99 blue SI....PIMP SHIT!

Interesting, my 2000 DX coupe has the same tails as the Si's do. ;)

What an Si has that others do not:


B16A2 160hp DOHC VTEC motor
no automatic offered
Si bucket seats
leather wrapped steering wheel and shiftknob
Si only rims (7 spoke)
Si front lip and side skirts
front and rear disk brakes
Si badge on the rear
"DOHC VTEC" decals on the sides of the car
firmer suspension


advantages are that you've already got a kick ass powerplant to build off of.

Don't all Civics after '96 have side skirts?

Yes but they're not painted the body color of the car as they are in the Si.

and you can tell an si when you see this one civic that smokes all of the ex's and dx's and vx's etc..... in other words it hauls way more ass.

what?

6th gen Si's will beat a 5th gen all factors equal.

Oh and we have sunroofs too.

my car has disc brakes in the rear but it most definately is not a Si whats up with that . does this mean that i am slightly pimping it :)

Its a sad thing that Si's here are really EX's...and they sell for a lot. I can't belive how many people fall for that and start to show off 'I got an SI'...Well I Have A DX and u can Kiss My...and I can use the extra 5 grand U payed for that SOHC to get me some nice B series

Here's one for Canada's Government :flipa:

i doubt that the older si's stock can beat a 2000 si stock. muhuahahah

Nijia, your 94 lx has disc brakes? I thought those were only available as an option wit han EX?

yeah they were offered as an option on the 94 lx i think the 95 too. i didnt even know i had them until i took it in for state inspection.

ON TOP OF THE FIVE GRAND FOR A 'B' ENGINE ADD

300 - 500 FOR SI RIMS
300 FOR REAR DISC BRAKES
COUPLE HUNDRED FOR NEW SUSPENSION
COUPLE HUNDRED FOR SEATS MONEY FOR STOCK SPOILER (IF THE EX DOESN'T HAVE ONE)
AND YOU HAVE TO GO ON A MISSION FOR HOT SI BACKLIGHTS OR FIND A DUMBASS SI OWNER WHO PUT ON ATEZZAS
OR YOU CAN THROW UP 5 GRAND EXTRA FOR AN SI

just picked up an 2000 civic si for 12,800 with 45,000 super clean come on the parts are endless why not i got this one and sweet setup and i will be turbo'n it up. For me truthfully it's status only two years 99 '00 pimp status b16a2 harness the power and you can smoke anything...

i thought the civic ex (p28) reved to 7500?

Guys, this thread had been dead and buried for two and a half years. Pay attention to the dates when you post, otherwise people are going to flame the shit outta you.

why do u guys pay 12 grand for a civic si when i can get one for 6 and sell it to u for 10. save u almost 3 grand and make 4 for my self. same price that u paid for the civic si, i just saw a 2000 gsr at the acura dealer. and the gsr comes with leather and 15 more horsepower to start off with, and dont forget about ABS.

Just let this thead die. :eek7:
