hey guys im new to this site but not new to fourms. i recently purchased a Red 00 Civic si. now heres my questions. my vin number starts with a 1 which i read on here means it was manufactured in the U.S. on my title it says Civic Si/SiR. can someone tell me if my car is a canadian SiR or what? im really confused. it also has the black leather interior package. idk if these ever came in the U.S models as ive never seen a civic with leather interior before. can someone please help with my two questions? would highly appreciate it. thanks

 

Do you have DRL's?


US is Si, canada is SIR.

 

whats DRLS? sorry lol

 

it also has a glow gauge kit on it so i dont know if it says Sir on the instrument cluster

 

daylight running lights (drl)

What engine does it have?

 

it has the stock fog light kit on it

 

b16

 

B16a2?

My understanding is that the Si had the B16a2 whereas the Sir had the D16Y8. Does the engine VIN match the car's VIN?

Does it have DRL?

 

yes b16a2. but idk i havent looked at that i will have to check. i just didnt know because it says "Si/SiR" on my title. and the leather interior package. was the leather a U.S. option?

this says the b16 came in the canadian sir

 

and what do u mean by daytime running lights? pics?

 

Here's a dumb question:
Does it say MADE BY HONDA OF AMERICA or MADE BY HONDA OF CANADA inside the Driver's side door frame, right on the same tag that has your tire inflation and vehicle weight info.

 

The SIR is the SI so it would have the b16a2 in it. In Canada or the US.

The SI in Canada would the Y8, it's basicly our EX.


Leather was installed in the US aswell, but it is very hard to come by. Not many had it.

 

what he said ^ lol

 

So it's the same damn car. Nothing special about it past the interior. As for the title it doesn't make one bit of difference.

 

There are a few things that spereate the SIR from the SI.

Thats why we asked if it had DRL's. US never had them, but Canada did. Also, I think they had ABS.

They also got them in diferent colors. Like VSM. bastards.

 

I believe those leather seats were special Dealer packages. I'm not 100% but I do recall reading that somewhere.

 

does your vin start with 1hgem1?

 

yes they were made by katzkin.

 

 

The leather Interior was as I recall a dealer option. If you wanted leather when the car arrived it was sent to a local upholstery shop where the seats were recovered in leather.

As far as Si vs SiR differences there are a few:

SiR had heated mirrors, ABS and was available in Vogue Silver Metallic, the gauge cluster will also say SiR instead of Si, and the speedo will be in KM/H with MPH on the inside.

 

do you have a pic of the seats?

As for the title, they don't always describe the car accurately. Like on an OKlahoma title, at least mine, the EX is no where to be found, it has some other random numbers. Tag agencies are bad about just throwing codings on titles. as for the SI/SiR they prolly just consider them the same since they are close enough, especially since they just need to identify the car

 

Punch your VIN into here (USA) or here (Canada). That will tell you definitively and we can end this pointless thread.

Also the heated mirrors is a dead giveaway.

 

I've had a handful of EM1's, and they've all been classified as "Si/SiR" on the title. Thats the way they're listed on Carfax as well.

 

my cars also got the headlights with the city light socket but noting hooked up or no wires ran for them. weird
