Thanks. If you see her in person you'd notice her defects, such as a couple of very minor dents and a piece of pinstriping that was left under an after-factory clearcoat. But overall I think she's great for what I paid. Rarely when I come across a perfect '00 Si, the KBB on them is like $10000-$11000 (private party value) and that was out of my reach.

 

119k and she's burning blue, eh? Hmph. Well - good luck with the build.

Hehe, naw. I'm an all motor kind of guy, at least with a car like this. And given that I've never experienced a car like this before, to me she's got incredible power (for now). I'll probably do really simple things for now like shifter/stabilizer bushings, steel braided brake lines, high performance fluids, etc. When she's paid off, I'd like to refine her a little more with some Type R parts, and also things like dual springs and flat-bottomed valves.

 

Nothing better then blue smoke.

-- Those are nasty meaty tires on there...

You mean nothing more expensive to diagnose and fix?

 

fix your intake.

 

fix your code/smoke and bring it all the way back to stock and then leave it. One of the best looking stock civics there are.

 

nice pick up. now take care of it re: blue smoke.

boost it yo

 

pretty nice!! hope to see future mods!

 

Yeah, I'd definately like to maintain the integrity of the car, hence no turbo (but for a lot more reasons than that as well). Also, I certainly do want the OEM intake back. This one sounds cool, but I don't like the way it looks and I don't trust its performance.

Oh, and I didn't take the front emblem off. I am proud to drive a Honda and so I'm getting an OEM grille/emblem too.

 

keep it safe

 

Repainted front bumper?

From all the evidence I've gathered, it's the original paint, but just the clearcoat was redone.

 

Great place to start

 

Nice
