ok.. here my question.

i have a 92 si hatch... rer disc brakes, sunroof. ect

the title says cpe.

the vin says si
honda canada says by vin its an si..

why the hell are my front rotors LX?

its pissing me off.
help

is there any way someone can sell me a non si

as an si

?
it had a d16z6 in there

and by the records he provided and from what my local honda shop says its all number matching so he didnt put a d16z6 in there and passit off as an si. wtf is going on... im so confused can anyone clear this up? thanks
shane

 

still need help....

 

Maybe the old owner change the rotors

 

^ like he said mabie a garage changed this front pads/dics/calipers becouse his brakes were done with dx/lx by accident/ didn't care.

There was a guy on turbod16 i believe that had bought a car with an si on one side and a dx on the other so you can imagine whats possible out there...

 

pm me the vin
i can get where it came from all the way down to its product number
www.burchfieldtrucks.com is my website im not here to rip you off

 

call honda... it could be an early production run 92 model. possibly came with lx brakes
with the vin they'd be able to tell you

or it could be a wrecked car or someone switched them somehow

 

So you have a Canadian Si coupe? You're not being very clear.

Canadian Si coupes were basically U.S. EX coupes. U.S. EX coupes only came with larger discs up front if they were ABS.

 

good call, i assumed it was a hatch because most were built in canada.

 

I'm here to look concerned.

 

 

I don't think he has a Si coupe because it's a '92. Coupes didn't exist until the '93 model year. Besides he says he has a hatch, only his title says that it's a, "cpe." Which is not a big deal. A hatch could easily be classified as a coupe by his DMV since it is a 2 door. But honestly, OP, you're completely overreacting! Relax, you have an Si. First of all, someone would've gone to ALOT of trouble to "forge" that Si. Installing a power sunroof, swapping in a D16Z6, swapping VINs, and replacing the rear drums with discs... why would he go to the trouble of doing all that and not do the front brakes? Doesn't make too much sense eh? Anyway, if I recall correctly, my '92 Si had had the same smaller front brakes as the lesser Civics(CX, DX, and LX?). I was disappointed at first because I thought the 92 Si had 10" front brakes like the 99-00 Si, but they were actually like 9 inches. But I didn't let it bug me for too long, I picked up a set of HX rims, cheap, from a guy who couldn't fit them on his 99 Si. hehe... So even if your car is a fake, I wouldn't be too mad. Look on the bright side, you have all the worthwile Si goodies anyway.

 

5th gen Si hatchbacks came with the same small front brakes as the CX/DX/VX/LX, with the exception of the rare '94 ABS models. Same small 13/16th master cylinder too. Prop valve is a 3040 unit.

 

thanks for all your help i called the dmv and they said honda did it that way for insurance reasons idk idc anymore lol.. within a year its gonna be just the body and brakes that are "si"
thanks

 

There is your answer sir...nice look 94EG8!
