Some know, a lot don't care, I picked up a 2000 Civic Si.

It has a rebuilt B16A2, stock it's a screamer 8k redline and makes most of the power north of 6k. Injen short ram intake, not sure on brand but it has a 4-2-1 2 piece header, no cat, unknown catback with a MagnaFlow muffler and a stainless tip. DC front strut tower bar also an unbranded rear tower bar still in the plastic was in the trunk. Has a dual bend short throw shifter that to be honest is probably an eBay special. Lowered on Neuspeed Race springs so around 2" drop, Tokico blue struts and some EM Racing lower rear control arms(Skunk2 knockoffs). Wheels I can't even find on Google but they are 16x7 +40 offset, tinted windows with a fairly deep brow, tinted factory replacement headlights and a Pioneer cd player. Car is kind of a basket case but a definite diamond in the rough, basically it's a step up Honda version of the 88. Needs some work power steering, a/c, throw out bearing are the big mechanical things and the interior is going to get completely removed and every clip replaced because everything rattles. Left fender is primered right now, the bumper is unpainted (replaced by previous owner), hood needs replaced and clear on the roof is failing. Guy understood the car needed work so I got a pretty decent deal on it.

Immediate plans are, tires (needs them ASAP), roll the fenders, get it mechanically sound, get rid of as many squeaks and rattles as I can, paint it, put the fog lights on (new in the plastic full kit in a box in the trunk) and something for a stereo. Long term I'd like coilovers, brake upgrade, turbo for around 300ish hp. The only thing I really know what I want to do is the stereo, I'll probably piece it together. Plans is Kenwood DDX374bt, Crescendo Symphony 6.5 components up front and 6x9 coaxs out back, Ampere AA-75.4 ( possibly AA-150.4) and AA-1200.1 amps, pair of American Bass TNT 10s, sound deadening, pair of XS batteries, bigger alternator (either a Mechman or Singer).

Had that same motor swapped into my civic, definitely has all its power north of 6K. Was fun for what it was though.

Will, if you look in here I figured out why there was confusion about the B16 being stock. You crazy Canadians had an Si and an SiR, USDM Si is the same as a CDM SiR. A Canadian Si is the same as an USDM EX.

just a question, why are you dumping money into it?
Not putting much into it and actually other than stereo I'll have less into it than I could sell it for. Even the paint job is only going to cost materials. Plans is to get it back to 100% and just daily it for a couple years until van is paid off then I'd like to pick up a Tacoma, unless Dave will sell me his dually, then have a lot of fun with it. Blame my love for totally unpractical vehicles and my buddies the had fast Hondas, I've always wanted to turbo a Civic coupe. Also if you ask my wife she'll tell you I'm physically unable to leave shit alone.

Ordered clutch master and slave cylinder today, not sure which is causing the issue but at 180k and $90 shipped for both its not worth taking out my good clutch to find out.

Clutch is sort of out, either clutch fork, throw out bearing or pressure plate problem so clunch does nothing, doesn't slip but is always engaged makes traffic interesting :lol: order Exedy stage 1 clutch kit (pressure plate, clutch, throw out bearing and pilot bearing), ACT Streetlite flywheel(13ish pounds vs stock at almost 20) and Honda shift fork, pivot ball and fork spring. Figured while I'm in there I'd just do it all and upgrade a few things. Plans is Sunday and Monday get stock springs in it and get new tires on the next weekend I'll handle the clutch.

Got the new tires on and clutch wrapped up about a week ago, suppressing it doesnt rub so probably going to order a rear camber kit and toe links so i can get it aligned and keep it low :success: also made a list of shit id like to get done on it this summer, that was depressing as hell. Shpuld have a couple checks with a ton of OT coming up so hopefully i can get tge new headunit amd speakers and toss in my mtx 4 channel with those.
