Hey guys im new here im 17 and lookin to buy a Civic and make it a show car and my regular driving car. I dont know alot about engines yet (if you know of a good site to learn more about them that would be great) so i wanted to find a car that has some engine work done on it. I found this guy who is selling his car and i was wondering if its a good car and price. So if you could let me know what you think of it that would be great thanx.

18 in rims are a bit excessive for a honda. but ask the guy if hes got legit paperwork on the b16, you dont want a stolen or bootlegged motor in your car. sound system seems pretty sweet though.

 

u can get a way better car on honda tech with more stuff for 8000

 

I looked and i cant find any Honda Civic SI cars in IL for $8,000 or for any price so if you see any please let me know thanx.

 

^^^^^^^^wat he said. but ya if thats ur style go for it, but im gonna give it a big i would look in the marketplace. ive seen way cleaner cars in there for way less.

 

yea i agree with what he said, 8000 for that is way to much, u can buy a real si for that price, or ill sell u a 96 hatch with full gsr leathers, full suspension, 99 front end, h22a4 with stroker kit to 2.4. but nah for real, 8 is way to much for that. i would pay about 5000 for it tops

 

i live in philly pa, its a bit far but there is a si down here on craigslist for less than 6000

 

i would rock it minus the windshield decal and autozone foglights.

 

Hey guys i was thinking on what u were sayin about the price. So i have started to look around were i live (witch it IL) and i found this car its a bit of a drive but not to far. Like I said I dont know much about engines so if you could let me know how this one is that would be great thanx.

If thats what youre into then go for it. Make sure it all checks out before you buy it. Make sure they bodykit was done right too. Be prepared to get flamed on here for that bodykit, but i cant say anything because i have the same kit.

 

the yellow one has been for sale for a while.
also there is no battery hold down on the black one

 

The black one looks to be a nice car.

Lose the larger rims, repaint the calipers black and sell the amps (they are'nt that good).

Tell him to keep the rims and offer him $6500. This is a bad time of year to sell a car.

 

i wouldn't pay 8 grand for it.
for 9 you could probably get a real black si.

 

8k!!!, for that i could buy an ep3.

8K would be a good down payment on an s2k.

 

hey just keep looking around, cus if u can deff get a way cleaner car for less money. here in va there is a guy sellin clean k swapd cars for 8k

 

if you look at the third picture posted with the engine, you'll notice the passenger side head light is missing a tab and that the metal mount has been damaged previously.

 

that yellow car is ugly as hell, definitly not. let me find u something

 

let me help u, this is a deal http://philadelphia.craigslist....html
http://philadelphia.craigslist....html either one of these, they are cars u can get for a price, the si is only 5500 and the teg is 8500 but thats show quality, i know its all the way in philly but hell for 6000 u could drive here buy the car and drive back and still have 2500 left

 

Was he standing on the car to take this pic?

 

yea i think he was gonna jump in the engine bay and fred flinstone it for more power

 

haha, good eye! nice way to advertise a car. buy my car, i can stand on it all day long, and break headlight tabs.

 

Hey guys i just wanted to say thanx for helping me, and dont worry about the looks of the car. Im goin to end up changing the looks of the car anyway im just lookin for a car with a good engine and maybe a bodykit on it.

I also found this car http://madison.craigslist.org/car/541799843.html he does not give a price so if you could tell me how much it should be that would be great.

P.S. What do you guys mean by a "Real SI"?

 

Out of all of the cars you have found, I personally dont like them. The first one is the best looking one that you have picked imo. Although on this car you may want to check it out pretty good....The guy has swapped the cluster so most likely it is not showing the actual mileage of the car. If you buy this car, check the title to see what the odometer reading was when the seller bought the car. If the mileage on the title is higher than the mileage on the odometer I would not buy the car!

What people mean by "real Si" is that Honda produced the Civic Si from 99-00. Lots of people buy parts from the Si and convert their car to look like an Si. Most of these conversions still do not have every item that came on the Si so they are not true conversions.

 

lol that car is not a si. it has a D series motor in it... real si's in that year have factory b16's. that car has si rims.... lol dude buy a 92-95 si for like less than 3 and put a swap.
