hi,
I'm thinking of buying a 01-03 Si as a first car. The price range as I've seen on autotrader is around 10-13k. I'm gonna put down about $6500 and finance the rest. I'm not looking for a performance machine just a fun daily driver that provides reliabilty and good gas mileage. What is the opinion of the members here of this (possible) purchase?

How bad do stage 1 cams mess with the reliability of the car. I'm in the same position as 98civicdcsport but i don't want to mess around too much that i will ruin the relability of the car. Let me know what you think.
Thanks

SI comment and question
I just bought a brand new Civic SI. Awesome ride. Its the best car i have gotten for under 21,000. As far as parts and performance, i am leaving mine mostly stock except for some tint, my system and maybe in the future throwing some 19's on it. I have the stock 17's but those are just OK.
The car has 300 miles on it. The book recommends 5w-30 for oil and 91 octane or higher gasoline. My question is, should i go with the synthetic oil? Haven't heard too much on it and was wondering.

Yes. The only time you don't want to use synthetic is when your car has a decent amount of mileage on it and it's been given normal dino juice during all that time.
So...yes only give it synthetic. Also...it's a good idea to change the oil after the first 1000 miles.
Also since you have a brand new car there are a couple things you can do to insure it's long life. This may be overkill but I think it's a good idea.  http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-M...spagenameZWDVW

If you want to protect your stuff, get it! Remember that you can keep it even if you get a new car.
Do the power windows if you want, I know I couldn't live without power. Hey man, it's what we all do. Buy cheap and upgrade, upgrade, upgrade until you finally get rid of the car  |
Have you heard anything about the Viper Alarms that are sold at CircuitCity I think....? |

Supercharger or K-20?
Hello all, I have a 2000 Honda Civic SI and after a year and a half of saving I have enough money to a get a Vortech Supercharger with Aftercooler, which would push me to 277hp and about 176 ft/lbs of torque...Looked around various sites and the cheapest one I found was $4,300. Then I looked around at a K-20 and found one on JDM for $4,500...I don't know where to go from here. If I should just pull the trigger and do an engine swap or just set aside the 16-20 hours to install the Supercharger. The problem is is that my SI is my daily driver... Please give me some suggestions.
