Thinking of Buying a '99 or '00 Civic SIR

[yapoy86]

meron civic na 2.0R yung model na bago yung FD... mas ok yun

Kopal thread yun.

Dun sa 1.8V at 1.8S FD namin, solve ka na eh. Although once inunahan ako ng isang SiR na souped-up sa StarTol habang tumatakbo ako ng 155kph ta's parang nakatigil lang ako nung umuna siya sabi ko, ok lang... atleast ako masarap upo ko sa interior hindi katulad niyo tatalbog talbog dahil sa tigas ng suspension.

Sa 300k wala kang mabibiling SiR diyan. Yung mga pormado-kunong SiR nagsisimula yan sa 350k pataas. Swerte mo nalang nga kung may mahanap ka na under 400k na stock SiR eh.

Although frankly, ako gusto ko rin magkaron ng SiR for the sake of having one. Pero iniisip ko rin, bilis lang naman kasi panlaban nito eh marami naman kotse diyan which you can get for a cheaper price tapos tune mo makakauna ka na rin ng SiR eh. However, stock vs. stock talagang classic power niyan Civic na yan. And when the VTEC kicks in, boooooy it's music to the ears.

But then again, mahirap na makakuha ng stock na SiR. Suntok sa buwan nalang yan. Kadalasan makikita mo cleanly-modded or ricer. Tapos malamang sa malamang ilang beses na humataw hataw yun so beat up na rin makina.

Naka-sakay na ko sa EK VTi, matic pa nga eh. Mabilis naman siya. Swerte mo nalang kung meron ka mahanap na 00 VTi MT. Rare yun. Meron ako nakita sa pistonbay, fresh unit. Ewan ko lang kung andun pa yun.

anong kopal thread? nagtatanong ako ng maayos, kung wala kang masasabing matino. mas mabuti wag ka nalang mag-reply. kung may mali man akong nagawa, turuan mo ako para hindi ako maka-sagabal kung anumang maaring masamang dulot ng pag-gawa ko ng thread na ito.

hahaha...relax ka lang, basahin mabuti mga letters...pero no problem sa akin post mo...carry on

to answer your question mahirap or Wala ka na makukuhang fresh SIR, Saka bihira siguro may nagbebents dahil "classic" car for the Honda fanbois...holy grail for them

[renzo_d10]

ito mga fresh hehehe

Fresh from the paintshop.

hehehe OA naman yung benta ng iba sa SiR... sa sulit may nakita ako 500k at usually 330-350 parin ang bentahan ng 12yr old na civic... tinalo pa nya yung yr 99' na accord to think halos 1M isa nun. 675k lang naman SiR dati.. Pero if ever mag benta sila ng brand new ng SiR ngaun bibili ako kahit 800k pa siya hehehehe

I agree that the Civic SiR is hard to come by especially the all stock ones. Why not consider a stock 99 - 00 Civic Vti?
You still have some bucks to spend for some repairs.

for 300K, i would have bought....
AN ALTIS!! (or a vios..)
heh heh.
i have come to my age wherein i just want to get in and drive, not to get under and dirty..
yan din ang sabi sakin some time ago.. all SIRs are suspect of having been modified and/or raced some time in their existence.. thus, avoid them unless you know very well the owner..

p.s. what's "kopal" ? it doesn't seem to register in my geriatric dictionary..

In fairness the Civic SiR is actually relatively fuel efficient if you drive it as you would a normal car. 1.6L lang naman din yun eh. No need to fret about fuel expenses, you can even use it as your daily driver. As many folks said here, mahirap makahanap na bone stock, unraced SiR for sale. We had one in the family before, in orange and with body kit, big exhaust and spoiler no less. Pinangkakarera nila yan and I remember naka-ilang aksidente na yan to the point na nagkaroon na ng engine damage, even the front suspension arms have been changed!

If you are looking for a fast weekend car, I suggest you consider looking for the newest M/T Accord you can find. AFAIK merong 2.0L and 2.3L versions. Those are really fast as well, much more spacious and comfortable and these are more likely to be treated better than their smaller cousins and also less likely to have been raced and/or heavily modified.
