Aside from it being a different year and a sedan, it has the same motor and all of the parts I put into my car, fit into a 2000 Si. What sets an Si apart from a regular coupe? The motor, and some slight interior adjustments. I have the motor, just not 2 doors or the interior difference. Plus my car has walked Si's before so i should call it an Super-Si :]

Thanks man!
You have a 96-98 front end so it's not an OEM Si grill, they only made them in 99-00. It looks good paint matched though, it drives me crazy when people don't paint them.
Yeah I didn't read my comment before I left it. I meant OEM Si Style grill. Watch my video, I think I said it right in that. And thanks!
Nice. Its the little things that count.
Slightly off topic here but i think you and i have the same ring
hahaha Triton Tungsten Carbide with a Carbon Fiber insert?
Thanks! Yeah i dig it!
Ha, first time I've ever heard of a video for a grill install.
There's a first time for everything! Its more of a car update video because I haven't put up any vids of my car recently.
Bam, as I previously stated it wasn't and OEM grill. As for faster than an SI not possible, you are heavier than a SI even if you have interior mods (who knows what that is lol) so nice try but hey the paint looks good, should buff it though looked like some slight orange peel.
It was an OEM grill, just not for an Si. And my car is actually about 200lbs lighter than a 2000 civic si stock for stock. Plus my car is gutted so there's another 70 pounds or so. And I've beaten enough Si's to know that mine is faster. I've beaten 06'-11' Si's before too. And it could just be the lighting but in the sun you can't see any orange tint.
What are you suggesting? He gets a part that doesn't exist?
A sedan is only 60lbs heavier than a coupe in comparable trim levels and he doesn't have the sunroof that an Si does which probably weighs more than 60lbs.
My car is sittin pretty low already hahaha, But I also have a full exhaust, cold air intake, stage 2 competition clutch, and Hasport 70A motormounts. It's not a bad setup!The si weighs 2-300 pounds heavier stock for stock than the 4 door...so 4 door=faster and the the 4 door is more rigid than the si, so throw down some cash on the suspension/brakes and you'll be golden
My sedan stock for stock is actually 200lbs lighter than the Si coupe. Plus im gutted so there's another 70lbs.
Orange peel is a texture not a color...
And ur car was lighter until u put that b16 in it...
The b16 only weighs about 70lbs more than the old motor. Stock my car weighs in at 2387. so about 2460, plus its gutted so roughly 2400lbs. which is still 200lbs lighter than a stock si.
