Ex? Dx? Lx? Si?

[Sheresh07]

Which model from 02-04 is best performanc wise? Coupe and manual tranny of course.

[Jas_M]

Si.

[CivicSpoon]

Well the Si is the better performance wise and is a 2 dr, but it's techincally not a coupe but a hatchback. The EX would be technically the best coupe performance wise. I'm just being a smartass

[NerveAgent]

The Si.

[Beastiek2]

Look it up !!
They are all completely different models body wise and engine wise. Do you want a hatch or a coupe?

si- hatch DOHC-more potential for race
ex - cope SOHC

The other models are worthless.

[Civic_D16Y5]

if u want mpg, go with the hx, but u cant race with it, or else ull lose all ze time, ahh crap i made myself sad

[xproductionz]

like beastiek2 said.. if u gonna go coupe then the ex... or else ur gonna be like me and do a mini swap to convert the engine to ex... but if u like the hatch then theres only one type.. the SI

[BennyBakwood007]

i say EX..but thas just cuz i dont like the way the SI looks

[Ricochet]

He didn't ask about looks, he asked about performance, and the answer would be the Si.

[Sheresh07]

Yea, I dont much care for the newer SI looks, so Im gonna go with SI but most likely the 00 model.

[Ricochet]

The 00 model is twice the car the new ones are. Good luck with her, you'll be pretty happy once you put a few mods on it.

you want an si? You can have my 99 si for $12,000.

Comes with [email protected] (you also get b20 crank which will yeld you 12psi)
hondata S2b/ RC 550s
Clutchmaster 3
GSR cams
kamikaze or DC 4-1 header (you get a choice on this one)
Greddy Evo
Carsound cat
Proactive adjustables on Tokico Illuminas
Autometer ultralite (oil, AF, Boost/vac)
DC bars on front and rear
Comptech Icebox
OEM fogs
etc,etc,etc............theres other parts too, i just cant remember. nothing ricey tho.

If you dont want all this stuff then, I can take it all off and give you a completely stock 99 si for $10,000. I just dont want to go through the hassle of pulling all this stuff off again, then reinstalling the stock parts. Pain in the A$$ IMO. Waxed 2 times a year and oil changed with Mobil 1 fully synthetic every 3500 miles. mileage at 105,220. New tires last month (Falken Ziex, but if you want the Azenis, you can just take them with you too).

I will also settle for an Odyssey or pilot plus cash (my cash that is).

If you want it and serious with cash in hand (if not, then go get a loan ), pm is the key.

[Sheresh07]

Sounds pretty nice, But Im looking for something ALOT lower on the mileage.

Not looking to do alot of engine work either. Really what I want to do is close to what xproductionz did to his car. Probably nothing more then cat back system, CAI, KN Filter, New headers, lowered some and some rims/tires. Bout it for me, MAYBE a body kit if I can find one thats not too Aggressive.

[xproductionz]

well.. good luck with the search
