Just wanted to let you guys know that i finally took a step backwards and got rid of my CL-S. I just wanted to say thanks for all your info and tips on this board. I had some good laughs on here. And it was one hellofa way to make time fly while at this BORING job of mines... I said " i took a step backwards" because i got a 2000 Civic Si meaning No heated seats, no back up tilting mirror, no leather, no power seats, dimming mirror, NO 6 DISK IN DASH , its sad to let the car go BUT the 50.00 gas every week, and the tranny issue is out of the way.... Here are pics of my new girl...






this one has some work to it...
it has
1. Tein Suspension
2. Apexi AFC
3. DC Sport Headers
4. AEM Truetime Pullies
5. Greddy CatBack Exhaust
6. Carbon Fiber Intake (switching to cai)
7. Racing Hart rims with yoko tires
it has some other things to it but i cant rememeber what else...

 

Another one bites the dust. How much did you get for your CL?

 

9,000 after fighting with them for about 45mins...

 

Nice man..Always loved that Si and it having work already done on it is even better. Now make sure you get lojack because that thing will be watched like a hawk. Take that Si badge off the back so they think it's just a regular civic. Are you coming to the meet on Sunday with it?

 

where is the next meet?

 

It's in Edison off of Rt. 1 How much was the Si 14K?

i got the si for 11...
they wanted 13,900... but it was talked down

 

Even if he debaged it that Electric Blue color is only available for the SI if I'm not mistaken.

 

50$ a week in gas....DAMN how much did you drive? And also, I dont think my cl-s has backup tilting mirrors..was this an option

 

Sweet Si bud! Enjoy it, I would.

How many miles did you have on the CL and navi or non-navi? I think you told me once but I can't remember.

<--- steps closer to his Jeep purchase everyday.

 

damn, sad to see ya go. That SI is a hot lil number though...make sure you got FULL insurance on that cuz it could b a big target for thieves. Also mods already on the car when buying FTW in this case lol. Really like the tinted tails too

 

100% right

 

88,400 no navi...

 

Humm, well with that kind of milage, I suppose $9k wasn't toooo awfully bad.

I got offered $7,500 (67k miles) at a local Jeep dealer when looking at a new Wrangler awhile back.

 

the tails caught my eye as soon as i saw the car... i have full coverage on it... it has a kill switch in the car already, im gonna put another alarm and another kill switch or two

 

thats what they first offered me... i almost flipped when i heard that offer

 

Passanger side tilts down in R. But the power mirror switch has to be in the center position.

 

I spend about $40 a week, and I drive about 12.5K miles a year... Sounds like it's just a little above average to me

 

I would never buy a car already modded. Esp a Civic. But good luck with it. Love those SI's

 

looks like a clean well taken care of car, but man im not feelin the rims, id sell them and get some rotas or something. and keep the extra money.

and if thats a J's racing intake....man keep it, those are sweet. ive been out of the Bseries game for so long i cant remember exactly if it is or not.

oh and JDM fogs and lip would set it off nicely.

 

nope it comes stock
only the right one tilts though

 

hows the power difference between the 2 cars?

 

yea i getting the fogs soon... its a j's racing intake, the rims dont do it for me either, im going to see if someone around my way wants to do a deal for stock si's and cash, or some rota slip's or circuit 8's.
i forgot to mention that it has two skunk 2 strut bars and one lower strut bar

 

i really cant say... the si has more of a kick when vtec hits, and you can stay in vtec alot longer (8200rpms) ... but the cl had more in the lower rpms... but if it was a race between the 01 CL-s (stock) and the si i have now, I really dont know what to say what the outcome would be... i know this si fly's on the highway i got to 120 with ease , it didnt struggle when i got to 115 like my cl did

 

You guys are light weights....$80 a week and I drive about 22K to 25K a year. And that's after I cut back.

 

OMG, I used to have a 94 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) V8 laredo. giant POS man. I had constant problems, starter, water pump, radiator, tranny, wiring short in driver door, etc. I easily spent 10k in repairs for that jeep. If I was smarter I would have got rid of it a long time back, but I loved going offroad with it. (went with the guy from JeepsUnlimited.com) Anyways, just keep that in mind, but I'll never buy Chrysler again. Plus their mechanics are Class A morons. They were trying to sell me a new power steering unit, when all that was wrong with the jeep was the CV-Joints. Then I did a U-Joint conversion.. few months later, tranny starts going bad (wouldn't shift into 1st gear) .. and the guys said that the U-Joints is what caused the tranny issues.. What a clown, might as well tell me it's my CB antenna causing my jeep to overheat. It seriously felt like I was dealing with the reject mechanics from Pep Boys.

(ok, sorry for highjacking the tread)

Btw, sweet car, my friend had a 99' SI. Great fun, nice and light weight. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun driving it!
And also, good job with the negotiations!

 

I'm not scared. Besides, I will do all of my own work and find out whats wrong with it on my own. That alone will save me big bucks.

Also, I'm only looking to buy one with a 4.0L, not a V8. They are tried and true motors that will run forever when cared for. The starter and water pump would really be considered routine maintenance after so many miles and as for the trannies... Well, I'm certain I have less to worry about with a Cherokee than I would ever have on the CL. Especially after all the research I've been doing lately. Trust me, I'm doing my homework man. Since I can't find one with ultra low miles, I'm pretty much stuck with buying one with quite a few miles on it. At this point, one with 60K is a good find for me. Damn Jeep for the discontinue!

BTW, I plan to break it from time to time anyway once it gets lifted.



Sorry for the 609! Carry on!

Lol, something was wrong with your CL if you had a hard time getting to 115mph. I could do that with ease.

 

Thats cuz ur tranny isnt dying out on you!

 

[QUOTE=pits200]i would get to 115/120ish with no problem, but going past that was kinda slow

 

you aint lying

 

i don't think the cl is really that slow in fourth gear. it just seems like that because it falls out of vtec and loses the ass raped monkey sound.

 

yeah i was puttin about 50 a week before college, now i havent filled up in almost two weeks, i have about an 1/8 left and im going to run that shitty stuff out befroe i refill about a 1/4 tank.so now im lookin at what 20 bucks everyother week ....it just sits prety under my carcover while i book around on my bike everywhere.

 

FYI, that generation SI comes in Blue, Black, and Red.

I have a buddy with a Black one.

 

man im diggin ur Si... but not the rims.. well anywayz i think 11 for a SI and havin to give up a CLS and put 2g cash in... for a 2000 civic is not really worth it.. but clean ride.. propz to U still

 

11 was before the trade in and the money down...

 

get sum blades or stock Si rims and SLAm tha BITCH!!! *dROOLSSSS*

 

I used to want that exact car when i 16....but ended up with something totally different...had a friend who pushed his non si to 230 whp and that thing was hella fast so with you having all that you should be happy...plus everything is cheaper mod wise...

 

While it is a downgrade from the CL-S (and one that I do not think I could do) , I do love the 99-00 Si. Have fun with it.

 

its already dropped, but this weekend i might get the si rims on it
