Yep, if it's from Canada eh, and der it's a EX den der it's a D16Y8 ya.

 

Thats pretty cheap for an SI. But maybee not with a Theft Recovery title. According to Wikipedia the D16Y8 is only in 96-00 Civic Ex and 96-97 Del Sol SI. Here is the link.

And According to wikipedi also the 99-00 Si's only had the B16A2 in it. Not saying anything about JDM or Canadian though. Here is the link.

I would check into running the vin or doing a carfax on it. I ran a carfax on a 00 SI I was looking at and it said "SI" in the model. But, Either way I wouldnt buy an SI if it didnt have the B16A2 in it. Other wise I would just feel like I was buying a nice EX. Thats just me though.

yeah in canada, the trims are different. Our ex is their si and our si is their sir

 

^what he said

canadian trims are different.

and that car would be called a Si in Canada, which is the US EX trim, hence the EX gauges and motor.

SiR = Canadian Si, features the B16A2


#1 rule, wikipedia isn't always right. because of the nature of that site, the information is not 100% accurate

 

the candian Si is the Ameircan EX, meaning it would be rocking a y8. The z6 was only in 92-95 EXs and SIs

 

Thats good to know. Thanks.

 

Hmm ok, didnt know about the canadian trims. That makes sense.
So to clear it up...
That car is (probably) a Canadian Si, aka a US Civic EX, hence the EX guages and the d16y8.

 

by george, I think he's got it!!!!

 

Yes

or it's a seller trying to screw people who don't know anything about civics into thinking they're getting more than reality

also, general rule of thumb, stay away from salvage/rebuilt titles, it'll spare you hassle down the road
