How to tell what kind of civic?
So I am about to purchase a civic soon, and I wanted to know how I could tell if the civic is an SI or not. The badge is removed so is there any other way I could tell it is an SI? Here are some of the pictures:
Thanks for the help!

EM1 will be Si. The motor will be a B16A2 if it is indeed the original motor. B16A2 will be stamped on the block to the left of the header if you were looking inside the engine bay.

However everyone is right. It should say EM1 in the VIN. It should also have rear disc brakes. It should also have a sunroof. It should also say "SI" on the gauge cluster. It should also have a b16a2. If it has all of this, then who cares what it actually was originally, as long as it was built right. just my .02

Re: How to tell what kind of civic?
Ok I am going to go look at this car in about 2 hours, where are the VIN's lcoated?...
The owner said the dashboard was stolen and says there is about 78k miles on it...
How can I tell if they are lying or not...
What kinds of things should I be looking for..?
Thanks for the help everyone! I really appreciate it!

Re: How to tell what kind of civic?
Uh yeah because that is not sketchy, but hey it's your money. I would not buy it unless it was a steal... which it probably was stolen... Read all the posts everyone already told you exactly where to find all the stuff you are looking for.
