Hello everybody, i just bought 98 Civic Si ( US-Ex ) and I'm really happy with the car so far. I was wondering if you guys make any meetings in the Mississauga area often? I would love to meet some other civic owners

I just came from the Tim Hortons on Dundas and 403, there were at least 30 civics there

and i know they go there every Friday,Saturday and even Sunday ? Anyone of you guys been there ?
MajirTom:
6th gen civics
American Ex version is called Si in Canada, and American Si is called SiR in Canada.
American Si uses B16A2 ( DOHC V-tec )
Canadian Si uses D16Y8 ( SOHC V-tec )
i hope I'm right

P.S. Sorry about the bad English, still new in Canada

So, if you checked the vin number and it was a EX, you do have an Ex ( Si here in Canada) However it might be with a swapped engine , 6th gen SIR is hard to find and it is also alot more expensive than Si . Both, Si (D16Y8) and Sir(B16A2) have VTEC...

Yes i believe that but the engine in mine doenst have the sparkplugs running across the top of the engine there in there regular place so its not the right engine i dont think for this car

Nick85 · 03-15-2008

Can you post a pic of your engine ?

MajirTom · 03-15-2008

Yea i got a couple of pics up already of the car go to gallary or civic pictures go to serach on the right type in MajirTom's Honda and its the fisrt pic. ( i dont know how to do it in a post yet lol )

Nick85 · 03-15-2008

I saw the pics..looks nice man

You have the d16 engine ( SOHC VTEC) it is not B16. How much you paid for this car ?

MajirTom · 03-15-2008

Thanks for the compiment, I had a 91 civic HB an 2 grand so I traded it for a 99 civic. It was a write-off because it was stolen. and yea so what about your first civic
