2005 Civic sedan SI ( Canadian Model)
 

SO the 2005 Honda Civic SI Canadian model, 5 speed comes with the 1.7L vtec? And is the 1.7L vtec engine a interference or non interference? Do these cars have known problems? And what color do the gauges light up at night?
What MPG should i expect from this car? Would the car have mp3 playback through the cd player?

Bump !

I had a 05 U.S spec Si and its the same as the canadian.
5 Speed 2.0L DOHC vtec
Only prob i ever had was 3rd gear, some times it took a little time to get in, but my other frineds who had them said 3rd gear was fine.
Other prob was it only has 160HP, i wish it had more.
The gauges are white but at night they turn Orange.
The MPG, well to tell you the truth, i didnt care, its a Si, if want good gas milge buy a EX.
The MP3 did hook up to the CD player.

Thanks !

no it's not the same
Canadian Si=USDM EX

OP, it has the 1.7L SOHC VTECengine
yes, it's an interference engine
expect probably like 35 mpg
why is the gauge color important?

He has a 05 Si
Not a 00 U.S. Ex

dude...
in canada, our Si is their SiR
our EX is their Si

if he's talking about a Canadian Si, then he's talking about the equivalent of a USDM EX

"The Si (EP3), marketed as the SiR in Canada, was the only hatchback of its generation sold in North America."

If you burn your MP3's onto a cd, the stereo will play them, I suggest you use Random play

Cost of timing belt & water Pump & tensioner replacement
 

Hello, I just bought a 2005 Honda Civic SI 1.7 Vtec Automatic Transmission with 82,000 km.
I read that the timing belt and water pump should be changed every so many km's or seven years,
I was wondering what to expect to pay to replace the belt, pump and tensioner?
