well right before thanksgiving weekend i came over a deal on a 2000 si coupe. unfortunately the car has a rebuilt title and has no b16. not to mention no wheels and misc problems. the car does have a full cwest kit. which i do like, paint and body is straight. car drives ok...but needs some work into. i thought i'd just share what do u guys think? i spent less than 4k if anyone is wondering. i don't wanna give the actual amount since i might not be keeping the car.

the pics!

 

what engine does it have ? otherwise the paint looks good and the cwest front doesn't look too bad imo.

 

the front isnt bad, but those sides and rear kill it.
good find though!

 

For C-West, that's a shitty fitment.

 

thats looks like a c-west copy

 

Why does it have 96-98 Climate controls?

No wonder it doesn't have a B16, because it's probably not an Si.

cause it's a rebuilt title, i don't know why it has a 96-98 climate control. i took the climate control out yesterday because i wasn't getting any hot air. i found out it has the 96-98 heater cable thing too, which 99-00 don't. so i'm kinda confused of which heater control system it may have. but the car is an si. says so on the title and i use to work at honda, so yesterday i had the vin checked

 

^^^ hmm... interesting! I'd like to see what you turn this project into!

O, that's weird.

You don't have heat because the car probably still has the 99-00 heater core, which is electrically actuated, not cable. Plug in a 99-00 Climate Control, and it should work assuming the wiring behind the dash hasn't been messed with.

 

oh man when i took off the lower driver side panel.... LOL i don't even know if i wanna mess with this car anymore. lol i have no time to do anything really cause i run a business 24/7

 

i think the car has potential but i think you over payed for it a little bit.

 

****** saaaawwweeeet taillights


nice find

 

so the vin has EM1 on it?

Something is fishy about this, i would laugh my *** off its an EJ8

Don't let a little wiring discourage you. If the wiring is all hacked up, you can get a new dash harness for cheap.

the car was probably from canada. the si in canada are ex's here in the US which has the y8 motor and that climate control.

 

good luck with the project.

I agree that Canadian Si civic's have the Y8 engine stock; but still, 99-00 Canadian Civics (whether it be Si, dx, or whatever) still had the updated 99-00 electrical climate control.

 

Ok look. It maybe an SI, but.... its got like a bgillion parts on it not SI, including motor. So I wouldnt waste your money on an SI thats like 99.9% non-SI. Better off getting an EX in this case.

An SI without the motor is not an SI. Kinda like whats the point of living, if you dont have a dick?

I say, save up your money alittle but more, and go out and buy a real SI
