Honda Civic SiR [Merged]

[swordsman]

Pagkuha ka ok yun Formula Red. Hehe

Oo nga po e, yon nga lang, mahira na nga humanap ng 'sariwa' at all-stock(hindi 'all-stock na ulit' ha..hehe) na unit, mas lalo pang humanap nung limited colors na Formula Red at Sunburst Yellow. Mas lalong kumonti yong limited na pamimilian.


Mga bossing, baka may marerekomenda kayong trusted mekaniko na pwede ko i-tag along na marunong kumilatis ng mga SiR units..pa-pm na lang po. Newbie po kasi ako sa kotse, at lalo na sa Honda units. TIA!

[swordsman]

by the way, 4-wheel disc brakes ba or rear disk brakes lang ang original SiR?

[ssaloon]

4 wheel disc brakes ang SiR. all cars have front disc brakes papa. hehehe! kawawa naman ang kotse kung rear ang disc, tapos drum sa harap

[swordsman]

aRGGH! 'told you virgin pa talaga ko sa ganyang mga bagay.. hehehe

guys, am in need of ur expertise in cars,

am planning to buy a 2nd hand HONDA CIVIC SIR 2000model..but i heard from numerous people that its half good & d others say its bad,, anu ba tLga?!?
wt are the pros & cons of the car? specifically the 99&2000s??

[niky]

Good if you get one in stock trim... bad only it you get one that's been raced and crashed...

Seriously, though, who's saying it's a bad car? The interior may not be as loaded as other top-of-the-line cars of its time, but controls are all easy to use, the AC is decent, suspension is supple and not too stiff, engine is very durable and the looks are nice.

[niky]

Aside from lower fuel economy compared to the VTi (understandable, and actually not bad considering the engine's amazingly high redline and 160+ hp), there's absolutely nothing wrong with a Civic SiR when compared to any 1.6 sedan of the same time period. Secondhand value is very high because of the power and longevity of the engines, though.

[flakez]

as what niky said, pag may nakita kang maayos na 2nd hand ok yan.

[squala]

Pros:

- No direct competitor here
- Quick and nice-sounding engine, especially with racing filter change
- Chassis a perfect balance of ride and handling

Cons:

- Torque? What's that?
- Brakes not as powerful as engine, let alone no ABS
- No airbags as well
- Hard to find a unit that wasn't modified and/or raced

Try to find a model that's owned by an older person. Some people bought the SiR simply because it's the top Civic, with no intention of racing.

[boybi]

yan din ang gripe ko sa SiR, no abs and airbag.

[finchy18]

if sira engine well.. bili nlang ng B16 engine dito sa cebu. kahit nga hatcback EG nka b16 na d2. surplus dami.

[rbravo]

bakit mahal ang HONDA SiR kahit second hand.ano bang meron ito na wala sa HONDA VTI o LXI....magkahawig naman

[OTEP]

B16 engine 100bhp/liter (not may engines can do that)
4 wheel disc brakes
sport suspension

It's a 4 door sportscar.

D-series ba ang VTi sa Pinas? If so, there is a $2,000 difference when buying a surplus engine between the D-series and the B16

makina ang pinakamalaking factor kung bakit mahal ang SiR kumpara sa VTi or LXi. AFAIK, SiR is comparable to the 2.0 trim of the 8th gen.

[zechs]

its the hype actually of owning close-to sportscar sedan. kahit na mataas na yung mileage nasa 400-500K pa din...

[basti08]

it has a standard B16 engine
-that's DOHC 1.6L 16valve 160HP
-4wheel disc brakes
-15" 6spoke alloys
-195/55R15 tires
-CD player
-available in rather funky looking colors too.

[jarhead]

naging mahal din yan kc konte lng lumabas.. mejo naging limited edition and sought after by many because of the engine and suspension it has... kung baga sa economics-- demand is high but supply is low kaya mahal ang SiR....

Aftermarker tuners also have A LOT of items for modifying the car, it has that much potential to become better performance wise. Only problem is when you have too much power, malakas yung torque steer sa front wheels pag hinataw.

Compared sa Vti, masmababa ba yung vtec point ng SiR? If so I guess that makes it more desirable.

VTEC engagement point of a VTi engine is around 3300-3500rpm
For an SiR, it's around 5000+rpm
