I got a new car!

And it's better than an '89 Accord!!

http://files.automotiveforums.com/uploads/74115400EBPSi.jpg

It's so nice to have a functional 5th gear again... :redface:

Thanks , Chuck! :sunglasse

:smile: i hope you enjoy your new car as much as i did before you..
everyone come stare at his pretty new car..
it's goes vroom
:biggrin:

:bigthumb: Schwing! Let us know how it drives and what you get up to ;)

FUCKING AYE!!!!!!!!!!!!! quite a step up from a 3rd Gen Accord :eek:


Very nice looking indeed Initially I thought it was a Rover Tomcat (When I could only see the spoiler/windshield/windows and roof) and was like wtf???? :redface:

Thats a very sweet looking ride jay, congrats:bigthumb: :sunglasse

Cool car, I like blue cars with the taillights red-white... A little suggestion if I may, a new set of wheels & tinted windows (not very expensive and looks good).... or a completed modification but I don't know if you like that (especially your wallet :lol: )

So you lose a B20a and gain a B16a, and I lose a B16a and gain a B20a :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


yip that sounds fair :comprage1 :thefinger




Now go stick a B18c in it and give that B16a to a 4th genner so it can be put where it belongs :icon16: :icon16:





I do hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my SiR, and I really do hope that Honda America tuned the suspension, it would be a shame to waste that wondeful little engine on a sloppy chassis.



(and Jim, the Rover Tomcat, or 220i is a Roverised Civic coupe, they just added a 2.0L turbo instead of the B or D series engine)

Very nice Jay !

Drop an RB26DETT into it and she'll go like stink :bigthumb:

nissan engine + civic = just plain wrong

how about a twin turbo 3.2 Liter V6 (NSX) i'm sure you could salvage one :bigthumb:

or howabout RICING IT OUT!

Or he could go for a sex-ay Neon!! :lol2:


J/K Congrats on the new car Jay, getting a new car is always fun. Then again I forgot how fun it is since I haven't bought myself a car in 6 years :)

Thats veri nice!

May I suggest moving that Great Honda H in the front grill to the hood where it belongs?

Dont do anything to the rest of the body or even lower it and Turbo the hell out of that engine:devil:

:cool:

god that is a pretty car!
good decision hombre. good decision.

Congrats on the new buy.I had a 99.

:bigthumb: :bigthumb:

Thanks, all! :wave:

Driving it is so familiar and somehow similar to the Accord, just exponentially better. :D Not hard to live with at all....

It may be hard to tell in the pic, at least without comparing it to a stock Si, but mine is a wee bit lowered, and it has a few other handy details throughout. :sunglasse Nothing crazy; it had to pass California's smog check to complete the sale...

If I do anything [further] to it, it'll probably just be a few tie rods and sway bars... :cool: Oh, some new tires, too.

Now I have to get some Electron Blue Pearl paint so I can make a model of it. :icon16:

nice Jay now your ready for forced induction :D

congrats! thats going to be a real fun car you got there.:biggrin:

Jay,

Should bought an S14 ;)

Very nice though

My dad worked for Honda for 10 years, and despite all the rice stigma, they DO make some top quality cars, and great performance engines for everyday

Enjoy the 8k redline :D

My I reccomed the OEM Advan tires from a Celica for the Si

:bigthumb: looks nice

take some action pics!

I don't know. i tend to think that most coupes with the smooth flowing lines like the Civic get 'interrupted' by wings and things. I really like the clean subtle look.

Dont do the clear tails and you'll look sharp.

Thanks Derek, I'll look into those tires. :thumbsup:

I'd'a loved to get a fastback S13, but I wanted to get a newer car, so I could bank on no major repairs for a while...

Oz.... :thefinger ... Heh... no offense, but you don't know what's already on the car. ;) Half your list may already be adressed... :p

The car 'came' with an extra set of tails....... made by APC. :apuke: Maybe I'll use them in a 4th of July fireworks display... :devil:

lol.. see jay i told ya it doesn't look lowered.. lol
and your right there are some goodies in it.. and ya can't tell isn't it so nice.. lol
but the new tires i can agree with and keep the xgt's for spares..
enjoy the on ramps... jay at 8k rpms ------> :eek:

nice car I will keep the stock tail-lights. Makes your car look nicer. Get some rims now.:smile:

Jay you should have held out for a GTR mate. Honestly you would never want to drive another car.

Oh well maybe next time mate, but hey save a few pennies up and plop your arse on a plane and come on down. You've always have a place to stay and I am sure I can scare the crap out of you a few times whilest your here.
:devil:

Jay, I have TONS of good tires to reccomend. Me and my dad are currently in the process of tire shopping and thanks to the 530i's 16" wheels, we can fit an interesting variety of tires.

We're prob. gonna get some expensive ass Bridgestone Potenza S03s, or Michelin Pilots, but those Advans are tempting as hell...

VERY cheap, and, theyre ADVAN, so you know theyre good.

I know you will enjoy the car. My uncle had a Civic for years, and went to buy a new Accord V6, and he had an SiR(thats what theyre called here) loaner, and he almost bought it instead of the V6!

It is a shame you couldnt buy a 240, however you will have maitenece issues and other crap you can get on a Honda.

Even though its FF, a Civic is simply bulletproof.


Oh, and if you want a good exhuast, go Fujitsobo, or get a custom made one :biggrin2: nothing beats the sound of a homemade exhuast

Sharp looking car :smile:

w00t!
Now those trips to taco bell and in-n-out will be faster than evar!

have you been pulled over yet by bored cops who cant find any real criminals?

It would look good with some white volks on it like these :bigthumb:

White wheels on blue cars look sexy.

Even with my first-week show-off driving, my car got 28.5 mpg. :D

(when you drive up to 400 miles a week, and now have to buy premium gas, this is good news... :eek: )

Ah the joys of VTEC :D

you do not need premium gas for an SI, it says right in the owners manual, octane 86 or better.

LOL, it was enough to make my Prelude-driving boss jealous. :p He has to drive nice all week the get up to 28... :loser: Originally posted by dayna240sx

for DX, LX, EX (Si in Canada):
use 86+ blah blah

for Si (SiR in Canada):
use 91+ blah blah

And it says "Preimium Unleaded Fuel Only" behind my fuel door.

But you're right about those white Volks! :bigthumb: Too bad they not in the budget. :redface:

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you give for it, honestly?

Oh and, how many miles, options etc does it have???

very nice choice! DOHC VTEC motors run the best with premium gas and synthetic oil, whether its an H22 or a B16. but im pretty sure you dont need any help maintaining your car's health. good luck with it! i love the electric blue paint!

I know of one completely stock with the wing and 17K miles...
what do you guys think it is worth?

what do you guys think it is worth? A 2000 Si, 17k miles, rear spoiler, in ZIP 46802, private party sale, according to kbb.com: between $12,365 and $14,330.

Holy crap that is an awesome blue!

Congrats man!

Nice ride Jay...you should make a model of the old Accord though too :D

Mr recommendations...leave the body nearly stock. With Civic's especially, crazy body mods can quickly get you thrown into the rice category even if you've got the power to back it up. Instead, go with subtleties...deleting the grille badge and adding a hood badge (just a stock one, no lighted or bright yellow crap), maybe black surround headlights, simple medium black tint. The stock wheels look great, but if you do want a change white Volk TE37's would be my choice...look excellent on those.

1. Delete front badge - maybe, but if it goes, it stays gone, nothing on the hood.
2. black surround headlights - highest candidate for appearance mod. (only one, really...)
3. no tint. sorry. :p It already has the UV tint, and I bought a nice sunshade...
4. Even if I did get new wheels, i'd want to keep these alloys, but I have no room ATM...

also... thread moved into Civic forum. :wave:

Yeh man nice car, although I know nothing about them I really like that shape of Civic Coupe, and that colour is the best one you can get.

makes me happy.. :biggrin:
