Honda Civic Si

[NetViper]

I have decided I cannot afford the NSX just yet and I need a new car. I was thining of a Civic Si. I found a 2000 with low miles. Anyone have any experience with this car?

I've kicked my CRX Si's ass for 160,000 miles, and the thing has never failed me. This includes three x-country drives and being put on a boat and taken to Germany for a year (autobahnen!). The car'll probably outlive me.

Well as an Ex owner of one.. I would have to say it is a cheaper alternative.

I ended up getting it about 3 weeks ago. I have been to Clubsi.com non-stop since then. Those guys spend crazy amounts of money on thier civics! The only thing I am thinking of adding is a comptech icebox. But, thus far, I love the car. It will have to last until the NSX.

The comptech Ice Box is ok.. yet they use a Sponge filter and it is EXPENSIVE.

A friend of mine has a AEM CAI Intake 2 Piece (harder to find) used for a good price let me know if your interested. FYI his website is www.turbocivicSi.com Check out what we did to his car..

I was thinking about the AEM, but too many people said it was just too loud. I am not interested in loud.

That civic is sure awesome. I really dont want to put much money into this car because I would really like to get an NSX.

Very nice looking civic SI. Sounds like I am on the same track as you are. Did you get the NSX after then SI? Must be a world of difference! I love your wheels!

I really don't want a loud car. Just attracts too much unwanted attention. The Icebox has a little better performance, and from what I understand, isnt much louder than stock.

all I can say "legaly" is this
Go to www.nhtsa.gov and do a recall search for a 1999 bmw m3.. Then look into the complaint database for my complaint.. and put them together with a lawyer.

Kind of got into a pissing match with them.. finally settled down the arguement early this year
