so much easier than tearing apart your interior...

Has alot of potential and should be a really easy turn around! good luck!

I think the OP is looking for a paintless repair option.

Speaking of which, you might be able to get someone to do paintless dent repair on it if it's not too bad.

donut_eh3

perhaps you are right

i was just giving my .02 cents

maybe he does want to paint.. just broadening his options

To be honest I wouldnt mind painting it, it just may take a while because im not going to put alot of money into the car so It may have a huge primer spot where the dent was for a good while. There is a little surface rust starting, so Im going to fix the dents asap before it gets to bad. Im loving the gas mileage btw! Averaged 38MPG at 75mph on the road trip back. Thats def a plus! Paid 2500 for the car which is another plus!

Deosn't look all bad, I have seen MUCH worse. At least it's still blue.

All she need's is a front/rear bumpers, side skirts, lip(s), grill, 15/16's and a about a 2.5 ish inch drop and she will be beautiful!

Throw in a good clay bar/wax while your at it.

donut_eh3

well u can do as i suggested and then just paint that spot and blend it... or if you decide to repaint the whole car thats another great option, alot of good vids on youtube that can help you.. shouldnt be too pricy if you do the job yourself.. you just need lots and lots of patience..

That is no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I was waiting for a ricer body kit, huge wing, gawdy random interior crap from autozone, and euro tail lights haha.

Shouldn't be too hard to get it back to stock.

Yeah not bad. LOL I was picturing it being really riced out. I always loved the blue Si.

do you think thats a legit SI? that "si" emblem looks a bit cheesy lol.. might wanna double check on the VIN before purchasing it. cars nice but all that china **** has to go. try going to the auto wreck might find your self some decent condition parts for the right price. btw how much is the car going for??

lunareg

he already bought it from what I gathered.. and it has a moonroof, thats something people will do to fake an si, but its usually the one thing people wont do.

alphalanos

if the dent creased? if not you could try this

Moonroof means nothing. It could be a EX that was turned into a SI clone.

I have seen EX's that looked like a SI, everything top to bottom was changed. The only way for us to tell was the VIN.

My friend was looking at civic's, and came across a '99 SI'. It wasn't, it was a 99 ex.
The guy selling it, thought it was a SI, and wouldn't admit it was a EX. Said he wanted 10k for such a rare piece. This was 2 years ago.

OMG! So you're telling me my 1998 Civic coupe is actually an Si?!?!?!

NACvicSi

Either your calculation is off or you don't have a B16. Show a picture of the engine bay. I use to drive like a grandma with my EM1 and didn't get 38MPG on the highway.

How does it feel winning the Honda lottery?

lunareg

Sure why not

lunareg

yeah thats my fault.. I completely forgot the ex had a moonroof in 96-00

Pilot King

never kno these days. some people are as fake as a 2 dollar bill . carfax that sh*t up

harleyhumper444

the vin starts like this

1HGEM1

Its an si.

And yes I calculated my fuel economy and each time i filled up and got a steady average of 38mpg with cruise control at 75MPH each time. Its a b16a2,stamped right on the side of the block, i ran 87 octane also.

NOFX

I could possibly see a B16A2 getting 38mpg. My D16Y8 is rated at about 35mpg iirc and I've gotten 42mpg with it in my EX coupe.

And winning the Honda lottery feels pretty damn good. Thanks.

98civdx

Isn't there a guy on here getting 42mpg out his b16a2 in a HX?

TomO

Did you take in account for the speedometer being off since the car has the improper tire size on it?
I'm not trying to say that you're wrong, I've gotten a 42mpg average tank out of my '98 GSR but definitely not going that fast on the highway.

harleyhumper444

i didnt go by the speedometer, i went by the GPS for both speed and distance. Anyway today im doing an oil change and taking the white overlay off the cluster. Im also getting some floomats and cleaning the interior, but I may wait till i fix the dents.

98civdx

What transmission is in the car? What RPM were you at?
