Honda SIR [merged threads]

[glenngj]

tingnan mo OR nya, nakalagay naman dun kung anong model yung car nya para makasiguro ka. ang alam ko 99 - 2000 lumabas ang SIR. tama si sq baka personalized plate yan..

[XTO]

pics looked mukhang SIR naman sa tindig. Could also be a 99 model kaya U ang plate. best way is to have the OR/CR be verified, there you'll see there the orig color, model and engine no. para walang sisi in the end. Good luck

[flakez]

b16b? hindi kaya 96-98 yan tapos converted to 99 look and swapped with a b16b. yup magkano asking price nyan?

Paps pag letter U po ba ang start na letter sa plate meaning 99 model xa?? akala ko kasi 98 ang U, 99 and V, 2000 ang W correct nyo po ako kung mali po tenx

b16b? "U" plaka? dun pa lang magduda ka na... b16a ang stock engine ng SiR. try to look at the CR, nandun yung date of purchase ng oto.

2. What is the difference between Honda SiR and Honda Vtec SiR? Sorry I really dont know if these two are the same.

wala pong difference yan... ang SiR ay vtec DOHC. theres no sense sabihin na "vtec" SiR kasi walang SiR na hindi vtec.

5. And last po gs2 ko po malman ung sarili sariling nyong pricing ability regarding Honda SiR.

sa itsura ng oto... i wont buy it for anymore than 320K, kung talagang SiR yan pero kung 96-98 converted to SiR lang (mukang ganyan yan)... no more than 250k.

ang upgrade, hindi ganon kaimportant sa resale value...

ill walk away from this car if i were you. nakakaduda masyado... hanap ka nalang ng totoong SiR.

hth

pinalitan na daw po yung stock engine ng b16b...

[[archie]]

pinalitan na daw po yung stock engine ng b16b...

lalo ka na magduda, no point in swapping b16a to b16b... ano nangyari sa stock?

tuners usually trade in their engines for higher displacement.. in that case b18's or k20. hindi naman malayo difference ng price ng b18 and b16.

IMO just walk away from it bro...

teka magkano nga naman asking?

[monggoosse]

di po personalized plate lang yung plaka nyan?

Bro monggoosse, first of all, please avoid using 'text speak' when posting para mas madali po kayong maintindihan sa dito sa forums

Now about this 'SiR': Advice ko lang sa iyo is don't get this particular unit because as we can see from the pic you provided, the engine seems to be poorly maintained in terms of cleanliness. Well at least to my standards but it is certainly one of the tell tale signs of how its owner takes care of his car.



Believe me, there are more 'fresh' units for sale out there.

As to the authenticity that it is an SiR, these days it is very hard to tell especially with so many loose and swap parts available for interchanging between a real SiR, VTi (the one with the SiR body) and the 1.5 liter engined LXi.

I have my doubts that this car on the pic is the real thing because of two things. One, the polished strut bar that braces the front towers in the engine bay are not stock SiR - the stock or original OEM is not polished but painted and is much thinner than that one. But then just as I pointed out, this can be changed. Two, Archie is right, we still have yet to see an SiR with the plates starting in "U". Most SiRs from the Luzon area starts with "W".

Oh yeah, the VTEC DOHC sticker at the passenger doors are doubtful since the 'VTEC' is always at the rear end. In one of your pics, the 'VTEC' was on the right But then again he could have repainted the whole car.

There was a time when a sure way to tell if it's the real thing is via the window trimmings. An SiR window trims are black while the rest were chrome.

Or so they thought.

The window trims of the 1.5 Lxi were also black, in fact, they are the very same ones which became a favorite target for those who wanted to turn their 2000 VTi into perfect SiR clones. Some even got the extent of changing the rear drum brakes into discs which were also exclusive to the SiR.

The original SiR steering wheel features red stitching.

As for the fog lamps, I guess he just likes to add that yellow accent to a perfectly black car but it sure looks like the OEM frame.

Hope this helps.

shock mounted ba yung struts na nakalagay ngayon? If im not mistaken hindi shock mounted yung OEM struts ng SIR. so kung orig SIR yan dapat may butas na yung sa gilid ng shock. sa lxi kasi naka abang palang yung paglalagyan tapos kaw na magbubutas.

sinasabi mo bang struts bro ung silver metal na nasa ibabaw ng engine?? 2lad ng nasa pixs?? and what do you mean na mounted dapat? tenx

yup, yung silver na nasa ibabaw. what I meant by shock mounted is don siya naka screw sa may shocks? ung dalawang nakalabas na screw from the shocks. kasi ung OEM ng SIR is hindi don sa may shocks nakalagay, sa gilid niya lang. if mapapansin may butas yan diyan dapat. yung sa lxi kasi walang butas, may markings lang kung san mo bubutasan if ever lalagyan.

check mo din rear swaybars. stock yan ng SIR. kung wala kaduda-duda talaga since bakit pa kelangan tanggalin di ba.

pero as what niky said, just walk-away from this one since your relatively new to this. one thing for sure, this is already a swapped engine if its really a b16b.

HTH

[monggoosse]

memphis nga pala pano ko malalaman ung sinasabi mong window trim na black?? pede kaba post ulet pic tapos encircle or turo mo kung san part ng window ung sinasabi nyo po or kita ba sa mga na post ko n pixs?? the betst wat ko siguro n check is ung chassis number na sabi pag EK4 eh chassis ng SiR tenx sa info bro

[niky]

Looking at it , without knowing the question... I'd say it's dubious already...

No 1999-2000 car that I know of came with the "U" plate... All SiRs are definitely "W" plate.

I'd pay market price (300-350) for an SIR with an original engine... but a swapped car? 250k... whether it was an LXi, VTi or SiR... but then, I know a bit about fixing up messed up cars... since you're a relative newbie, monggoose... walk away and find a fresher unit. You might pay 50k more for that unit, but the investment in peace of mind will be worth it.

nabili ko sya last month. kala ko kase ganda ng porma at wala akong alam sa kotse newbie tlga ako. pinatingnan ko sa service center at ang sabi kailangan daw ng rebuilt. malaki ang magagastos. kaya daw ganun eh dahl ang SIR daw eh nalalamog ang makina sa karera. sabi din sa akin dapat daw hindi SIR ang binili ko dahil naabuso daw tlga to ng may ari. help naman po ano ba gagawin ko?

[siacojin]

ouch! sakit naman nun! yan ang risk ng pagbili ng SiR mas malaki ang possibility na laspag ang makina. how much mo nakuha bro? ano ba nararamdaman mo sa engine?

[shadow]

ano ba muna ang sira? for all we know baka niloloko ka lang ng mekaniko since newbie ka sabi mo, get a second, third or even fourth opininos....

[gwapZzZz]

Sir posible na laspag nga ang makina ng auto mo pero bket nito kelangan irebuild? post mo nagiging problema or nangyayari. Tumitirik ba? baka naman hindi makina problema.

[jrt]

Ganyan din experience ko sa pagbili ng SIR. Marami palang problema at malaki magagastos. Pero tama si Sir Shadow, patingnan mo sa ibang service center para makasigurado ka na tama ang diagnosis nila.
