hey everyone. im new to all this but i understand how to work it. i just bought my first car and its a 2000 civic si. i was just wondering if anyone could give me some advice with the car. any problems i should look out for or daily maintience that i should no. i had some raddling at low rpms i kno its the heatsheild which is no biggie. but i relized its leaking alil oil. very little after the car sits in the garage since i dont have plates for it yet. wondering if the oil pan or something just has to be tightened. the car has lowering springs i dont no what company but there blue. aem intake. and everything elsa is stock. thanks for the help everyone.

also if anyone got any suggestions i should get that would be great.

 

take pictures of the car lol.. anyways yeah just get under it and tighten up the oil pan and see if that helps.

 

great start.
i also own a 00 si. well, about the oil leak. you gona have to lift the car and look where the oil is leaking. if is the oil pan gasket just replace it. how many miles?
timing belt is do at 90k, splugs and wires, cap, rotor, replace manual transmission fluid, fuel filter.....

 

the engine has 77k miles. Ill have pictures up soon. getting some parts painted since my boy owns a bodyshop. but also i forgot to maintian. it feels like the motor moves alot when im trying to get out of first sometimes, i got the motor mounts checked and there all fine. just a wild guess dose anyone think it could be like the tranny mounts ?

 

First thing,before you do anything else get a good alarm and hook up a kill switch.

Park it in a garage if possible.

Happy motoring.

 

make sure all the engine mount bolts are tight.

 

right now i got a autopage C3-RS727A LCD

4-Channel Alarm with Remote Car Starter and Two Way AM/AM Paging LCD Remote Transmitter
but once i get money im wanna get a better one

 

Nice man how much you get it for?

 

Yes.

Also the rear main seals leaks too check that while your at it OP.

 

i got it for 6g. its the eletron blue. its preety mint and its really clean. 77k isnt that much for a honda as well. everything works and no problems just for the ones i stated before. ill have pictures up soon. waiting for my front light to get blackout.

 

yeah 77k that's right around where a honda engine starts to really start running well... good luck with it and hope you do a lot of things with it.

 

nice come up, sounds like a sexy car ....just one thing please protect it, ten killswitches and park it underground or some **** lol

 

Great first car. Check the oil pan gasket for leaks and the valve cover gasket. Otherwise it sounds like a dope car. Get an alarm

 

yeah i no. i mean once i fix everything im gunna save for a exspensive alarm. my neighbor is a machnic for acura and he is gunna do kill switches n a some crap like u gotta swipe a speical card to start the car as well.

i wanna hook it up bad but i m not use to the stick on it yet.
i live in brooklyn ny but my neiborhood isnt like that with the stealin of cars. and there not one civic in my nierborhood but im still gunna watch it lmao people are always trying to steal these cars. im 17 years old i cant afford to buy another one

 

Welcome and nice to see another Si. I have a 99 though. Can we still be friends?

 

ALARM

first things first

 

I too was once an EM1 owner....miss her badley, but anywho yeah also a problematic oil leak issue is the cam seal i advise replacing with a nice aftermarket one with replaceable rubber rings, can pick one up on ebay for like $20. and then there is the "lovely" ek window issue where it likes to come off the guide easy to fix but a pain non-the-less. Gl with the car and guard it heavily my ish is protected by HiPoint .40 yo!. feel free to ask any ?s man.

 

your alarm sounds badass. my EM1 has 83,000 and its running great, just take good care of it and it will take good car of you. good luck

 

Don't forget the timing belt is due @ 90k OR 9 years old whichever occurs 1st.

 

thumbs up for black . IMO looks the best

 

sweet ride
