98 Civic Si from Canada

[tuee]

I picked up this car a while back and I'd thought I'd share a few pics.

Mod List:
Engine: Stock, 260XXX km
Interior: Re-wrapped headliner, door panel, shift boot
Exterior: Custom rear valence, fogs, cleared headlights, clear side markers, front lip
Wheels: Stock, waiting on tires for GSR hammerheads
Future Plans: Paint, basic maintenance repairs.......winter beater status

Enough talk here's how it looked like when I picked it up,

After Pics
Engine bay took about 2 cans of engine degreaser and one bottle of super concentrated simple green to clean

removed the spoiler, i think it looks better

and my wheels that are waiting on some rubber

Here's my old car right before I sold it

[biglou954]

[white4door]

That interior is sweet! Nice job so far.

 

[EK|B]

Looks better without the spoiler indeed.

You made that bay look really good man

Paint match the exterior and you need a stock headliner

thanks for the comments,
-the cars probably not gonna get dropped, unless i get a good deal on a set of coilovers
-the hood was painted by the dealer cause he thought that was in, painted hood is definitely in the future
-the lip is staying that way cause its the winter lip so it'll probably get broken anyways
-valve cover was just pulled off and then just spray painted and the letters were sanded off after, that's all there is to it
-here's the link for the headliner and visor diy

-well this car is a low budget build, my priorities are to get the car in good running condition and have a reliable car, again this car is gonna be a winter beater in the near future so no point in dumping all that money into it

Yes it is... in CANADA.
The Si in Canada is an EX in the United States. The SiR in Canada is an Si in the United States.

His badge came on the car. No need to take it off.

thanks for clearing that up, i dunno why but here everything is labeled slightly different, like my cb7 was an ex-r, but in the states its an ex...meh

I personally always thought calling a Civic with a DOHC an Si was sort of funny. It should be an SIR or VTi. Then again some countries have SOHC VTis too.

I did come into this thread to correct the people saying it's not an Si though. lol

For anyone interested, the bottom of this post goes over the Canadian trims and US trims of '96-'00 Civics.
