00 Civic Si Build
Might as well start a thread. Goal is a nice driver with some quality parts while keeping it clean, slow and simple.
Bought the car sight unseen besides a few videos and pics. Had it transported from So Cal to Northern AZ. 2-owner, VIN matching B16 car. Original motor with 171k miles, but very well kept. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...1ed173d79.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...9e466ae6e.jpeg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...a017e70a8.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...528519e71.jpeg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...0c8005357.jpeg https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...98d022dbe.jpeg |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
First order of business was a fresh set of OEM reps with new tires. Front suspension has all new strut assemblies. I'm assuming they used non-Si Civic quick struts without knowing as the front sits higher than an Si from the factory.

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Ordered up a set of S3 Street coilovers to get rid of the wheel gap ASAP
https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...23b3aeddd.jpeg Ordered up a set of 225/45/15 Federal 595 RS-Pros (they'll be going on the Works) https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...fe4e7b62c.jpeg Going with 15x8 +35 Work Emotion RS11's (ordered and waiting) https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...e0248c47d.jpeg Spoon Street muffler ordered straight from Japan, will probably take a few weeks. https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...e19c5d7d0.jpeg Since this will be a cruiser build I'm tossing a 12" Kicker Comp R in the trunk with a 1200wx1 monoblock amp to mate with the current Apple Carplay headunit (only interior mod on the car right now) https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...d85a8ccd6.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...1df82c8a0.jpeg |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Needs window tint

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
^was just gonna say the same thing. Step 0 if you want that interior staying that nice.
Its wild how high that thing was sitting like an extra 2 up at both ends. Youre already tossing some nice stuff at it! Should be a cool cruiser. Those 225s are going to be a tough squeeze i think, but I appreciate the extra rubber. |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Clean car. Mine looks very similar... only no rear deck wing.

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Where'd ya get the set of OEM floor mats?

I've done the research on the 225/45 setup with this size/offset. Only thing that needs to be addressed is adding a rear camber kit because the tire will rub against the stock arm. Setup should fit great.

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Nice. Clean Si...

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
In for a good Si build!

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Mats are in. Wish they still made factory gray NIB but these will do.
Sub gets Installed tomorrow and I’ll mat the trunk lid over the weekend for that license plate rattle. The kicker wedge fits great though, tucks all the way back. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...978ef92d9.jpeg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...d71013972.jpeg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...a7f3a31cd.jpeg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...1f321fadf.jpeg |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Nice! How do you like the Skar sound dampening? Any comparison to Dynamat?

Fishbowl for life.
Car stays garaged and will only be out on weekends. I'm a fishbowl kinda guy. If it's lasted this long, it definitely isn't going to be accelerated in my care. I've done the research on the 225/45 setup with this size/offset. Only thing that needs to be addressed is adding a rear camber kit because the tire will rub against the stock arm. Setup should fit great. They sell them on Ebay and Amazon. I think only black is available these days. Be prepared to clearance the trailing arms near the UCA for your 15x8s though. I forgot I had done it on my old arms and had to cut and grind on my freshly coated new ones. 🫤 https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...f638693ce.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/honda-t...696abac2d.jpeg |

I'll be reaching out at some point for that zinc/black washer combo for some of the bay stuff :beer:

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Yeah, I thought it was interesting that I had never seen anything other than a note in an old Endyn article from the 00's. Things get snug pretty quick with wide wheels on these cars, especially in the back!

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
That gatekeeping mentality lol
As much as I've searched Google, YT, etc...and it being 2025, there still isn't a lot of "up front" info on it. Quick update as well....the Hardrace camber kit was out of stock with a LONG wait time, so Evasive rolled me into a set of K-Tuned ones instead. They arrived over the weekend. I'll slap them in as soon as the S3's arrive. Cannot WAIT to slam this shit on these stockers. WHAT YEAR IS IT?!?!?!? |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
I swore I was done buying parts for at least a month or two...and then PLM had to go and TOTALLY REDEEM THEMSELVES with $100 off the 3-point strut bar I've wanted since jump. FINE, TAKE MY MONEY! :ugh: :thud:
Not gonna pass up $100 off when every other online store has them at $295 https://privatelabelmfg.com/products...QaAtSZEALw_wcB https://privatelabelmfg.com/cdn/shop...01IMG_7299.jpg Should go really nice with the wrinkle black/raw titanium touches I'll be adding in the bay. |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
I'm also on the hunt 24/7 for an old school Do Luck rear floor brace. Haven't seen any in decades. They still make NIB ones for Nissans and Subies...but not Hondas.

Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Man I haven't even thought about one of those in decades. Will be cool if you can dig one up!
|
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
It's on my list, and if I can't track one down I know some fabricators...I'll get one custom built. Either way I'll have one in the end. :beer:
Might even be able to buy a NIB one meant for a different make/model, and just have a fab guy modify it to fit. |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
Found something similar, but white painted, Ebay sourced....ehhh
Would much rather have raw stainless in the original design. https://www.ebay.com/itm/17440317487...oAAOSwTHJfP31u |
Re: 00 Civic Si Build
That one is decidedly not as nice
