if you're looking for a 98 Si, you won't find one!
(unless it's Canadian, and then it's actually an EX)

SiRs were built in the early nineties, and had a B16A engine. the newer Si's (99-00) have a B16A2, which is a very good motor. There is nearly zero difference between the 99 and 00, as far as I know. Hell I cant even think of a difference, I just assume there has to be some.

if we're talking about 99-00, the Si is the USA model and the SiR is the Canadian model, of basically the same car.

I don't know why U.S and Canda don't just get on the same damn page.
