Honda SIR - why ang daming haters?

**vinj** · April 10th, 2012 11:50 PM

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

pag ba nag overtake sayo sa NLEX SIR mayabang na? pero pag XL corolla or LEC ok lang? knowing na kaya mo silang iwan gamit ang iyong car? hehehe

i think the car speaks for itself... ang problem nasa tumitigin. Eh sa talagang maporma dating ng SIR eh. Stock palang gwapo na tindig.. slightly lowered compared to ordinary civics.. high reving engine hence loud roar..

pano na kung papatulan ng mga my SIR yung mga haters? besides sa giant SUV w/ DID, CRDi, VGT, ABCDEFG nila eh ano pa ang pwede i pang tapat nila sa CIVIC?

one more thing kaya siguro feeling na sila pinaka mabilis eh dahil totoo???

Just answering this...

There was a time I drove a seriously modded B14 Sentra. Driving it normally along EDSA and minding my own business, I got two "provocations" from two different Civic SiR drivers on the same day. To make the story short, I left them in my dust.

Civic SiR is over-rated. I dont hate the car. I just hate the over-compensating drivers in them (people like you).

BTW, years ago, my AE111 Corolla A/T with 4AFE turbo leaves Civic SiRs one to two cars behind it at the quarter mile.

Btw honda engine swaps will cost you a testicle.

Back in the day, I also watched the illegal drag races... often cheering the underdog car going up against bigger more powerful cars.

But I have graduated from those days. And why do I want to buy a 12 year old torqueless wonder car? A Sentra with a SR20DE engine under its hood is much faster, more fun and cheaper to setup.

The problem lies on the drivers, parang ang feeling nila luxury car ang Civic SiR pwera daming sasakyan na modern that can take it's place. They feel like superior, belittling other brands - lalo na pag super modified ang unit. I respect the stock ones, but remember, it's not about the car but it's about the driver.

I would be picking a 1.5 Vios or City for my daily drives than this, honestly. Kasi too much ang Civic SiR nowadays.

And how about Honda fanboys that will get mad if a Honda taxi would be roaming the streets one of these days???

It was turbocharged for a while. it also blew the engine after a while as well (boost creep).

After the engine was rebuilt... the turbo was removed and sold. A few years later, I had the auto-lpg system installed. Currently, only the exhaust system is the only leftover from its turbo days.
