hey everyone. im in the process of buying a 1988 civic hatchie and having one problem. the lady im buying it from doesnt know what trim level the car is, doesnt have pictures, and is fairly far from me. can anyone tell me what trim level it is ( and if possible which engine) : info

-2 door hatch
- sunroof

thats all the info i know that may be helpful in finding out the cars trim level. reading up i found that power sunroofs were optional on si's, were they available on other models?? thanks alot

edit: canadian car, +5speed

no, sunroofs are only in the si's, um..... u get the 5 speed manual, d16 engine, with mpfi

 

excellent, thank you man where can i find a chart or just technical information(weight, engine/suspension specs) on ef civics , and are american and canadian civics different? thanks

 

um, if u want a chart on that stuff, thers a couple threads out there for it, just do some searching. and i thought american and canadian civics were the same lol, i dont see a difference in them

 

k thanks man, ill search. i was justing thinking can and american ef's might have had slightly different ecu's... or something.

 

ok searched for about about 40 minutes now. (fri night ) still having trouble figuring out what trim level i have (not to doubt you Bjorn20) i read on a civic history that the "si" returned in 1989, the car im looking at is a '88. could it still be a 'si'
again the cars specs are 1988 - 2dour - 5speed - sunroof. thanks for the help

What part of the phrase you dont understand?

Its an Si

 

you could decode the car's vin

but these guys are right sunroof=SI

 

YEP, sunroof = SI

 

k thanks, didnt mean to doubt ( just wondering if a 1988 si was offered, but thats cleared up)
