Honda Civic SiR [Merged]

**Ibaloi** · May 30th, 2003 07:05 AM

What is the telltale sign/s that would distinguish a real SiR from a Civic Vti? I've been seeing a lot of SiRs lately and there could only be two reasons:
1. Those are the real ones, which I doubt, SiRs I think came in limited numbers a couple of years ago

2. Some of them are rice boys who stick the SiR emblem on their cars to make their cars look fast.

If I am a buyer, what would I look for aside from the SiR emblem? Just curious....

1. Black window mouldings (just like the LXi)
2. Different cloth material used on seat upholstery(2tone) and door sidings.
3. With map light
4. With Central door lock switch in the inner door latch driver's side
5. B16 Engine with local code on stamp block (P6****)
6. Steering wheel and shift knob wrapped in black leather with red stitch
7. Rear Disc brakes

VTi.
1. Chrome window mouldings
2. Grey fabric on seats and sidings

Some external signs that may help:

SiR

2. Color keyed yung usual na black vinyl stripe sa labas nung doors
3. Front grill looks more like a mesh than the usual Civic horizontal stripes
4. Usual tires are Yokohamas
5. Disc brakes at rear wheels
6. Usually comes in Orange, White, or Black

diba may sunburst yellow na sir din? i may be mistaken kse di rin ako sure....i know is it came out for the civic rs right?

Meron nga yata sunburst yellow but Im not sure if its a real SiR (DOHC 160HP)... Meron ding Ruby Red (I saw one sa Honda service bay), same red shade nung 99 model Civic.

yup...may sunburst yellow din na SiR...mas bihira yung formula red (ganda pa ng kulay)...

Ang last na nilabas is yung sunburst yellow. Dalawa klase nun... meron VTi (with SOHC) and SIR (w/ DOHC)

although mas nauna nilabas yung Formula red na SiR kaysa dun sa Sunburst yellow. Ito rin yung pinaka limited SiR sofar kase wala sya equivalent na VTi sa kulay.

Walang SiR na Ruby Red. Probably it's a Vti with SiR emblems na dinikit. Formula Red (a brighter shade than Ruby red) yung nilabas na SiR.

Ang nilabas lang na colors ay:
Passion Orange
Tafetta White
Nighthawk Black Pearl
Formula Red
Sunburst Yellow

nakalimutan ko rin ilagay sa list above...

SiR and VTi has the Power antenna. SiR has the DOHC VTEC sticker sa rear doors.
