Wow, new thread.
Yes, it's not the car but the attitude that goes with it. A lot of tsikot members will still stop to admire a well-kept, stock SiR and that car has earned it's own right as a classic. But it's already passed it's prime and there are many, many more cars that have taken it's place as the toy for the big boys.
*TS, i do hope you did not get your handle from being a Honda engine fan. :D
i bet your angry because you never had a "fart box" SIR ever... hmmmp tell me im wrong come on! you of all the posters in this thead shows the most! overwhelming anger and envy towards people like me... i never even for ones mentioned that i own a CIVIC SIR at the moment! you just kept on yaping and yaping haysss...
No more "fart box"
dig deeper boy.. punch line is getting corny.
Flame baiting.Pero go on. We're not sensitive people unlike .....
What makes you think that your SiR is the 'God' of all compacts ?
What makes you think that your SiR can whip asses in terms of looks, speed and comfort ?
Stop being delusional, boy. You're still stuck at year 2000. Move on.
Gone are the days that the SiR became a "star"
If you can't give up your SiR for some petty reasons, might as well stop being an ass on the road unless you want to be "killed" by a puny Sentra Series 3 or yet .. a Lancer Boxtype fitted with a 4G63T
If i were you, I will quit it. Sir is nothing but a glorified civic. If you will allow yourself to live in the real world, you will realize that there are so many cars that are better than your car. I have an Si, packs more punch than yours but i don't brag about it because a stock sti will leave my car in dusts.
Dude, there are more better cars than yours. Stop clinging to your old old car and start moving forward. You will have more bragging rights if you drive a hybrid car than an old clunker.
Some years ago i was following a series of articles on SCC where Honda had a contest in the US with several publications that were given EK Civic SIs (two door SiR) with a budget and some parameters to work around. During the track competition, Paul Tracy, the designated driver, sent some of them home on a flatbed or killed some of the cylinders. This was because the only way he could get the SiR to run fast through the corners was by hitting the rev limiter all throughout the corners on first or second gears.
At the Subic short track during RWYB in the early 2000s, its the same story. I would see some SiRs and B16 engined Civics making up for lost ground during the straight but the other cars following behind would still catch up on the turns (in spite of the timed flag off intervals between competitors). They could only get so much power at the high rpm range.
Actually, the STi is a good speed controlling vehicle on the highway.I actually have a theory thought that years from now, the SiR story will be the same for the STi once resale values drop and more surplus units find their way to our streets.

Ginagabi mga kopal ah. May new fun thread pala.
Flame baiting kaagda title ni TS eh, pero nasagot na rin pala ng maliwanag. It's not the car, it's the ricer drivers.
TS: Itulog mo na lang yan. Nananaginip ka ata ng gising.
Fasten your seatbelt! Or else...Driven To Thrill!
BTW, years ago, my AE111 Corolla A/T with 4AFE turbo leaves Civic SiRs one to two cars behind it at the quarter mile.

Maganda talaga porma na SIR, 10-15 years ago....hinde ko na nga maalala what year lumabas SIR eh...
Whatever you do with it, it's still an old car , it can never be a classic car that fanboi wanted it to be...
Maganda naman SIR, actually, i want one... Nuon..
Pero puro speed limit na major highways ngayon, useless nadin para sakin.
Ngayon vios se_limited pede na ako,
vvti kicked in yo!![]()
^ Hindi na nga ako nagugulat kapag mau GTR na tumabi sakin eh. SiR pa kaya.
Sa panahon ngayon kung saan ang regular employee ay nakakabili na ng Subaru Legacy, you really need to step up your game to get noticed.
i think its safe to say SIR is the most HATED car of its time..
OK lang yun it can still be taken positively.
- poor fanboi![]()
sir hindi naman sa sinasabi na most HATED car ang SiR, ang nakaka inis lang sa mga KALBONG NAKA JAPEKYS NA OAKLEY SHADE NA NAKA SiR e ung matabihan mo lang sa kalsada tapos naka baba ung bintana bigla ka nalang hahamunin na makipag reysing reysing sa kanila. pucha e kahit ung Jimny ko kayang kaya tapusin ung kayabangan ng mga naka SiR e![]()
