ok fella my name is eddie and im a newb to the site but nit so much the scene...i am considerign buying a civc siR frm a oldr man that has one..He imported it from guadalahda,mexico.. or how ever u spell it...but the thing is i dont anything about the specs of it.. i know it has a b16 in it...si interior..the speedomter cluster is in Km..the car is silver..my main questions are basically..does anyone know the differernce between this mexico SiR and a US Si ..is the SiR model in mexico the same as Cananda?what are the differences if any?.........any info u guys could help me with would be useful...thanks a bunch

 

sounds to me like it is the same as the canadian SIR

 

so it it he same as the US Si but with a different color and a full size spare..

 

The Canadian SiR (EM1) had an extra color than the US Si (EM1), which was silver. It is the same exact thing, except it will have ABS.

I believe it has a donut stock, but someone could have put in a full size spare.

 

so i would basically get a silver Si... do they come with the city lights?

 

They will come with DRLs

 

USDM or Canadian Si's/SiR's did not come with day time running lights or city lights.

If you want city lights...you have to buy the JDM SiR headlights.

You sure? I thought all Canadian cars came with DRLs, using the H4 bulbs, not the smaller 168 city light bulbs.

Well, I never seen any EM1's/Civics in the US or Canada with DRL's so I'm pretty sure the Canadian SiR's don't...I might be wrong...IDK.

Edit: Although I think it can be a factory option?

I know the US ones don't of course, but I was pretty sure the Canadian Civics do. I know the 1.6ELs have DRLs. I've been wanting to put it on my car.

I want a Canadian EPC so badly.

None of the EPCs work on Windows Vistas.

Yes, the SiR is just the Si but in Silver and I believe it has Kilometers an hour on the cluster instead of MPH. The SiR headlights do NOT have city lights, but unlike the USDM headlights, they do not have an orange reflector in the turn signal area.

SiR's do not have city lights. You have to get JDM Civic Type R headlights. I don't believe Japan came out with an SiR.

Canadian and Mexican SiRs do not have city lights.

Other SiRs DO have city lights. The thing is, not all SiR headlights are from SiRs. Just like not all SiR bumpers are from SiRs. The headlights (which all '96-'98 Civic headlights in Japan came with city lights - it's not exclusive to the CTR) are the exact same on all models which are not CTRs, save for the design ("96-98" or "99-00").

I've never seen anything about the Canadian or Mexican cars having no amber reflector in the turn signal housing and I suspect you might be getting confused with the European and Japanese headlights which are called SiR headlights (though, like I said, don't have to actually be from an SiR).

I have JDM Stanley SiR headlights on my SI...they have city lights...

No amber reflector...completely chrome housing


If you look closely...you can see the city light socket

I know exactly which SiR you're talking about. It's been up for sale for a while. If it came from Mexico check for matching numbers.

You are getting confused with the JDM SiR (EK4) for the CDM SiR (EM1). The CDM SiR is exactly like the USDM Si but with silver and ABS. Headlights are the same.

 

except in canada they DO have drl's.

Thank you. Someone that can confirm me.

 

I second that. Since the 80's or 90s (not 2 sure the exact year) ALL cars in canada are required by law ( well...ministry of transportation law) to have DRL.
