Did u say 01 Si?? as in the 6gen civic coupe body with 160 HP?? You lost me on that one. Im not familiar with the new Civic body styles and the according years. I havent run my 02 Civic EX yet (need to break her in), but my old 1986 Acura Integra RS (DOHC 1.6L 113HP / 98 Trq) ran a best of 16.1 with a Pilot DTM muffler, 75% blown head gasket, removed seats, advanced timing all the way, cracked spark plug wires, THE WORKS!! hehe. But yeah. If you have an 6th Gen Si, it should be runnin a 15.8 . The 02 Si with the 2.0L 160 HP / 137 Trq should be alot quicker.
Silversleeper: the 7th gen Civics came in on 2001. What black2k1vtec is talking about is the Canadian Civic SI, which is equivalent to the USDM Civic EX. I hear the 02 SI hatch is a bit of a porker, though, and I doubt it can beat the 6th gen SI stock-for-stock.
01 Civic LX with AEM CAI and a full tank of gas ran a 16.9 and 17.1 This Fri. I get to test it out with my exhaust and better rims/tires and only 1/4 tank.
<< oh, i see, im too new to this stuff. im gettin there though. isnt there a guy with a silver ex 5 spd that said he ran a 15.8? all stock. >>
The last I heard of that, no one believed him, they wanted to see the slips.
Don't be fooled by "...I went 145mph downhill with the wind in Arkansas...",
another story requiring photos to believe.

I ran a 16.5@81.97 mph today at Rockingham Drag Strip in NC. All I have in a Injen CAI.I thought that I did pretty good. Made it to the final round in the 16.50 class and lost by .08 to a sorry ass 300 ZX, non- tubro! But it was fun as hell!
Hwoody is the one who ran a 15.8 . Don't be hating, he got an excellent 60' time which led to that 1/4 time. He was bonestock (ex 5-speed), removed his spare tire, and deflated his tires to ~20 psi. Plus he said he weighs i think around 130 and he did show his slip and a video.
I got a 16.35 @ 83.58mph (60' time of 2.395s) this past thur. night with only an injen cai and the removal of the spare. I didn't lower my tire pressure and I had a big ass wing on the rear that couldn't have helped any...
