Yeah, i found that those are generally more rare and relatively and kinda significantly more expensive... So, as far as the ex, dx, lx, and any others that i havent seen, what's the best?

This is only for the 8th generation with the K series engine. If he's looking for anything pre-2006, it's going to be more like 127 horsepower in the Si. It also depends on which country he's in because the models are different.

Basically if you're looking for a reason to get the lower end model like I did, I couldn't justify paying extra for things I would change:
- bigger wheels = changed
- CD player = changed
- suspension = changed
Other things I can't remember.

I agree with this if you're going to change a lot of the stock features you might as well get the base model (lx) i wouldnt recomend dx at all but other then that if you're going to modify it get the base model

Si before 2000 models are usually beated up pretty bad, really hard to find decent Si before 2000.

Go with EX V-Tech, if not go with LX Sohc. Try to avoid DX, and I never had experiece with HX so cannot really comment on that.

Not sure if you got your answer yet but here is what i found:

for 6th gen civics(1996-2000)

cx,dx,lx models use D16Y7 motor with 106 hp and 103 ft-lb torque

ex(or canda's si uses vtec others besides the si don't) uses D16Y8 motor with 127 hp and 102 ft-lb torque

si uses B16A2(DOHC) motor with 158 hp and 111 ft-lb torque

all this information i got from wikipedia if its incorrect feel free to correct me

The Canadian LX also uses the D16Y8 with VTEC. Not sure if it's single or dual camshafts (not sure how they do SOHC VTEC) but it's available. There's also the Canadian SiR which is our top Civic, equal to the USA Si.
