02 Civic Si problems?

[Cy@tirerack]

Thinking about test driving one. I've seen a lot of them advertised with relatively low mileage. Has anyone heard of any problems with the car?

[Gerbilo]

It's a Honda, and a Civic at that, there will be very few problems with them for many many years.

The only problem I see is the hp/trq out put for the price. Other than that no.

how is 15,700 a bad price for the hp/tq combo...better than yours.

Back to the subject. I haven't had any problems with mine at all.

I only have a SRI and HP Exhaust right now for performance.

For suspension I have a RSX rear sway, rear strut bar, rear tie bar, and progress springs...no problems at all. I have about 15,000 miles

Sorry but i've killed many a 02 Si's for much less than 10k. Better.......I think not.

160 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 132 pound-feet of torque at 5,000 rpm all for 15,700. One word to sum it all up....PATHETIC

[civickiller]

actually isnt it only 111tq

[B16EJ1]

Don't know what site I got it from but if that's accurate I feel sorry for all the fools buying it hoping for some "performance" and if you already bought one........:hehehe: I'll see you on the streets.:evillaugh

[Gerbilo]

if you want a civic SIs are nice, if you want a small car SIs are nice... if you want a sports car... why are you buying an SI?

heh

i don't have a problem with them, hell, its one of the cars i might be taking a look at in 3 years when i'll be getting a new one.... you just can't think it's gonna be super fast or anything.

shut the hell up :finger: maybe not everyone wants to buy a shit box and put a swap in it? how much was your car brand new and what were it's stats? i bet i could sum it up in 1 word....PATHETIC

ok what? you're bashing away on people who buy a new car with horrible stats and saying you could build a much better ride for 10g's.

what were the stats on your car brand new?

[B16EJ1]

125 bhp @ 6600
Redline: 7200 rpm 106 lb-ft @ 5200

There's the stat's on my D16Z6 and yeah I did build a better car for less.
Don't get all hostile with me. It's a fact. What did my car cost brand new? Who cares? I didn't buy brand new and never would. A better question is how much all these people, buying they're brand New Si, are losing as soon as they drive it off the lot. My car may be a shit box but it's a shit box with a better engine than his and your shit box.

lets put a k20 in your car then run them in the 1/4 see which engine produces the fastest time in your car *stock*

Okay, you calculate how much it would cost to do that and what times I'd run. Then justify wasting all that damn money.
