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

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

Pilot · 02-15-2002, 05:53 PM

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
