01 Civic SI- Things to look for when buying?

Hi guys,

HIGHLY considering getting a pre-owned 01 SI 5 speed w/120K miles.

Are there any particular things to watch out/listen for that are common failure points on these cars?

The owner says the T- belt was done at 130,000 KM's (I'm located in Canada)

Anything to beware of? Much appreciated.

Is the car a canadian or an american civic si? because there is a big difference lol. Canadian Si's are american EX's, and Canadian SIR's are american Si's

My bad- the car is a Canadian car, but I figured most members being american, I would provide them with the proper reading.

It has a lil north of 200,000KM"s.

Most common complaint on an 01 civic is input shaft bearing. It'll be a whining or grinding noise while in neutral and in 1st/2nd gear.
