the first one is def. not an Si, it's the wrong color...
Yeah, Si's only came in Black, Red and Electron Blue for 99-00.

It also doesn't have any of the other Si things(wheels, front lip, spoiler, DOHC VTEC sticker)

It looks to me like a DX with EX wheel covers.

This vehicle has a 1.6L I4 b18a engine and a manual transmission.
Nooooo sence. If it had 18 in it, it's a 1.8 liter. A 1.6 liter would be a B16. I also have never heard of a B18A... I think they ment B16A

I like number 3 and I would def stay away from number 1. Not trying to be a dick but because you didn't know that it wasnt even a SI and They are trying to sell it as a SI and your thinking about it buying it. I think that the person that is selling it is a dumba$$.

Yeah, it's a B series for sure. No way to really tell if it's the original one without looking at the VIN though. Most likely it's the original engine though.

That valve cover looks dumb sitting next to the stock airbox too.

or they could have pulled the intake out and sold it on ebay, reinstalled the stock airbox and then sold the car.

Actually the factory air boxes on honda's are quite good. All your big names like comptech, mugen, spoon all utilize the factory air box in their intake designs. Alot of people dont know this and just assume you make more power with a pipe and a filter but when it comes down to it a k/n drop in filter will yeild just as good of a result.
