2000 honda civic si
hey everyone. im new to all this but i understand how to work it. i just bought my first car and its a 2000 civic si. i was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice with the car. any problems i should look out for or daily maintience that i should no. i had some raddling at low rpms i kno its the heatsheild which is no biggie. but i relized its leaking alil oil. very little after the car sits in the garage since i dont have plates for it yet. wondering if the oil pan or something just has to be tightened. the car has lowering springs i dont no what company but there blue. aem intake. and everything elsa is stock. thanks for the help everyone.
also if anyone got any suggestions i should get that would be great.

Re: 2000 honda civic si
great start.
i also own a 00 si. well, about the oil leak. you gona have to lift the car and look where the oil is leaking. if is the oil pan gasket just replace it. how many miles?
timing belt is do at 90k, splugs and wires, cap, rotor, replace manual transmission fluid, fuel filter.....

the engine has 77k miles. Ill have pictures up soon. getting some parts painted since my boy owns a bodyshop. but also i forgot to maintian. it feels like the motor moves alot when im trying to get out of first sometimes, i got the motor mounts checked and there all fine. just a wild guess dose anyone think it could be like the tranny mounts ?

First thing,before you do anything else get a good alarm and hook up a kill switch.
Park it in a garage if possible.
Happy motoring.

Re: 2000 honda civic si
I too was once an EM1 owner....miss her badley, but anywho yeah also a problematic oil leak issue is the cam seal i advise replacing with a nice aftermarket one with replaceable rubber rings, can pick one up on ebay for like $20. and then there is the "lovely" ek window issue where it likes to come off the guide easy to fix but a pain non-the-less. Gl with the car and guard it heavily my ish is protected by HiPoint .40 yo!. feel free to ask any ?s man.
