The EX, though lacking in power, had a tastefully executed appearance. I remember the day I nearly purchased one from a used car junction about 12 years ago. I was attracted to the car immediately. What really lured me in was the interior...not only had it been well kept but the cloth seats and gear shift were well suited to my driving preference. And the absolute best part of it all was the gauge cluster that featured a blue outline with white needles. Fantastic. Though hindsight is a real kick in the arse. Really wish I woulda bought that thing.
That's exactly why I kept it bone stock like it was born from the factory. No one on here has one like this, something so hard to find now and it shows the true history of the car. Many people really appreciate the originality as opposed to obsessive modding.
MPowerSubie12 I agree completely. I also have a bone stock EM1 (video on my channel) and don't plan to mod it whatsoever. Just regular maintenance and daily driving. It also happens to be for sale. :)
I just saw a 2000 civic si with 36,000 miles on it for $15k. I’m going to get it. Won’t find a civic that low in that year. And best thing they got two civics
Old video but I’ll add to it since these cars are becoming so rare and I love them. Si also came with a bigger front sway bar and a rear sway bar, ex had no rear. The Si also has a more firm spring rate for front and rear. And lastly the Si has different lower front control arms and wider front damper forks. The Si was actually very different from the ex.
Have such a soft spot for these. It’s 2022 and I’m looking to buy a new car but still I come across a mint condition EX every once in awhile. I’ve had 3 of these and thinking of buying my 4th that just came up in my area. Getting harder to find a low mileage one. It’s not fast at all but it is imo one of the best built civics ever made. The D16Y8 is made to last and these cars have most of the basic amenities you’d want-sunroof, A/C, keyless entry etc… I also could have bought a Milano Red in immaculate condition for $4000 a couple years ago. Still knock myself for not buying it cause those cars will never be that cheap again.
Literally just picked up a 2000 Honda Civic ex with 124k miles some old lady had just sitting in her drive way for years. Interior absolutely spotless. Engine no leaks. No engine check lights. Only issue was Clear coat and paint is all faded out but bit the bullet and bought it for 2k. Going to sand it out with my buddy and wrap it with a color as close to si red. Keeping the og d16y8. Just going to be that really clean civic ex
Yo, shoutout to the people who understand that a spoiler on a fwd car isnt rice and if done right, can add stability at higher speeds. Regardless of the drivetrain. At highway speeds, all cars need down force because of the underbelly causing somewhat of a upwards parachuting effect which a spoiler can help counteract. Also, they CAN look good but that's just preference.
Anto Francisco You can search up the vin online and find out. There’s a couple of things that would be obvious though. Does it have the b series engine? If so check the vin on the front of the engine and it should match the rest of the vins on the car. If it has the single cam d16 then it’s an ex.
I got a silver 99 ex coupe thing is a fuckin teenage boy magnet. If you want a bunch of dudes to try to race and stare everywhere you go get an old civic.
I have an Ex D16y8 Vtec I'd be happier with the Si model , but I'm grateful with what I have! I was going to add a body kit , but after watching this I'm keeping it STOCK ! Except for the Factory Radio lol I'm getting an Aftermarket Touchscreen double din
stiliqn007 That's what I did. all I lack is the si badge, which I don't think i'm even going to get. check out the video of mine and tell me what you think.
To be honest I like that track more than the car lol!! That was a well made video man. I hope u go far with this and anywhere else you use your talents
Nice EM1 bro. Not gonna lie thoo, the EJ8 and EM1 looks so similar. I got a Civic Ex 00" model and I love it. Your EM1 looks clean, simple, and stock. Just the way I like it.!
nice Milano red. I just pick up a 2000 EBP EM1 clean title, 139,xxx original, stock b16a2 for $5500 at my local CAR Dealer near me about 3 week ago.. I couldn't pass on it because its getting harder and harder to find these em1 in good condition..my got a si Spoiler wing. all im just missing is the oem RIM lol I need to buy a pair of those then my would be stock :) I live in California so we cant swap cause we got smog so im glad and happy to find a stock b16a2 em1. I garage kept mine. and clutch lock, steering wheel lock, and block it in with my dad Toyota Tacoma truck
damn all those civics are very well maintained and super clean. an excellent daily gas saving driver. props foooooo. you should put the civc type r grill and Gsr mirrors it gives the car a whole different look for the better.
Ek _Coupe HAHA. Did you really just say the Si is mainly for looks? Too heavy? Do you know how much faster the b16a engine vs the shitty EX model d16y8? By the way, the EX model is the heaviest trim model civic, people would want DX or CX models for racing because they are the lightest trim model. Thanks to not having sunroof and power options, AC, Powersteering etc
David Andrasi Canadian Si which is the EX is the U.S. takes regular gas. The Si-R in Canada which is the Si in the U.S. takes premium gas or 91 octane. An easier way to remember is the SOHC engine takes regular and the DOHC engine takes premium. The sportier model requires better fuel for combustion reasons as stephen has already said.
I always wanted a 99-00 si tell this day I want one there so awesome and timeless I think my cousin has one in the family businesses warehouse it's just been sitting there nothing don't to it but some wheels and an intake easy to restore to stock
I had a Blk 2k Si. Best car I've ever owned! Wish I could find one again in Blue maybe.. Been looking. Not many left untouched by Mods. Let me know if you know if any! Nice video.
Front lower control arms are bigger on the si, they are stamped steel vs sand cast for other models. Front sway bar is bigger on the so as well. Various bushings are diff as the parts are bigger on the si. Whole si exhaust is bigger diameter as well.
I never knew how hard it was to find a stock original Si or Sir with low kms until now. Ive been shopping around and only came across a few clean cars. The one im really considering doesnt have the si gauge faces. Is that an option ,or is that because im looking at Canadian cars?
I have my Silver Honda Civic 2000 EX version and it’s my baby, my boy. It’s called “LOBO”. If you want to have a compact car, fast, cheap about fuel consumption and spare parts, get a Honda Civic, the eternal car 😎👍🏻👊🏻
the main difference is one is operated by a high revving dual cam engine in the B16 w VTEC while the other is operated by a standard single cam D16 w VTEC lol 😂😂😂
dam that sticker price is low and to say the least i have only seen one honda civic si like yours only once it was green either that or a guy got his ex and put the vtech sticker on the side i only saw it from the side but i am not %100 sure if it was an si or not also i got to ask of all your civics which one do you drive the most also i subbed :)
It sure was low for such a amazing machine! The Si was more of a toy then a daily driver as it is now so rare in that particular condition. The EX is the daily. Thanks for the SUB!
nice :) my dad used to have a 95 accord ex 2 door it was such a nice car and man for four cylinders and being bigger and heavier than a civic it sure could fly too bad he sold it but i hope that my first car will be a honda i love them so much as much i love camaros :D

yeah i know, thats even more retarded as its a original performance part..

this video rocks because it helped me in restoring me em1 and seeing what i can pull off of ex's and what i can't for a matching look.
i had a 98 ex, not very fast but it was still sort of fun to drive
It's just the engine sound that gives you the excitement of feeling that you're going fast but you're not
@@JoseCastro-fk4ml same fast than actual 140hp tdi vags. So its ok for a 99 car.

I had a red 2000 Si. Really wish I could find it and buy it again. I have no vin to go off of so I doubt I’ll ever find it.
Alan Thornton I know the feeling! And yes the VIN is a good way to trace it! The new Type-R is pretty nice...
And here kids we have 2 unraped EK Coupes!
you sir have an extremely clean si probably the cleanest i've ever seen
Thanks and it's the cleanest one I've ever seen also.
I have an 09 civic si and I still really want a classic em1. That and the DC2 type R were my favorite cars. And then the S200 came out
Si was only a $1200 upgrade.. unreal! Now if i can only get my damn time machine to work right..
I have an Ex D16y8 Vtec I'd be happier with the Si model , but I'm grateful with what I have! I was going to add a body kit , but after watching this I'm keeping it STOCK ! Except for the Factory Radio lol I'm getting an Aftermarket Touchscreen double din
By all means keep it stock on the outside, maybe add some upgrades to the engine/suspension (manifold, ecu, shocks, sway bar and so on) 😊
One is awesome, the other if f*cking awesome
I nutted watching the vid 😩😩
Wow the Civic Si was a real step up
Awesome. Thank you for making and posting this video. Appreciate it 👍🇯🇵
I already knew some answers to this but clicked anyway 😭
I miss my 98 Milano Red EX so much but really happy with my S2000
G Lo 😄thank you for watching!
Yeah these cars look so great in red (and really any color), but I'd say that was still a step up for you haha
Nice video! Answered a lot of questions.
that Si is soooooooo clean! I want it, my favorite USDM Civic of all time. Favorite Civic all time, 2000 EK9 TypeR.
that EM1 is a fucking gem
2000 Honda Civic si is one of my dream cars and also a EK9 Type R
Me to bro both The EM1 And Type R EK9 Hatchback are my favorite! I love Honda cars alot I dont think I'll ever switch them for any other cars
@@germanresendiz3778I got a dx hatch and building a ek9 replica
I wanted the em1 so bad, back in the day, but ended up with 99ex coupe.
Why not make a replica like i've got planned. I'm gonna take an EJ and make an EM

I'm actually STIliqn btw lol. I knew someone out there loved me
im more amazed u found two ek civics completely un modified

Keep it for ever
You are very lucky, that's my dream car! Definitely take care of it and keep it
How does this vid get 1 mil views when it's just a photo compilation lol
Nothing like watching Honda videos before bed 😎 😴 🏎✨✨✨
I am glad you didn't add any mods to it.
you for got that the si comes with a optional OEM si wing that has the civic print under the wing .
when are the next builds? been a long time since you uploaded
That's so freaking awesome thanks for this great video!!
1st major big diffence D16 vs B16
Wait so which one was better ex or si
To be honest I like that track more than the car lol!! That was a well made video man. I hope u go far with this and anywhere else you use your talents
i have honda civic 98 with 252km and its drive really good
even that my car is almost dead its gives all it can
well I'm trained in civicology, and that red paint adds over 20hp. obviously it's faster, because red paint has less air friction
Don't forget 5hp for the red backlighting too
Nice EM1 bro. Not gonna lie thoo, the EJ8 and EM1 looks so similar. I got a Civic Ex 00" model and I love it. Your EM1 looks clean, simple, and stock. Just the way I like it.!

I buying an 03 Si in a couple days. I think the 7th gen civic body design is sick and now classic.
I ended up getting the 06 Si coupe, its pretty sweet. The 9th gens look worse imo.

I can appreciate a video like this resurfaced in 2022. 🫶🏽🥹
Just b16a2 swapped a 2000 2 door shell had a shit ton of SI parts runs great tool two weeks to get done with friends get inspired

I guess the bigger front brakes, thicker sway bars and different suspension spring rates arent worth mentioning
So difficult to find one stock ...
Great Video, I was expecting just Google pictures lol
I always wanted a 99-00 si tell this day I want one there so awesome and timeless I think my cousin has one in the family businesses warehouse it's just been sitting there nothing don't to it but some wheels and an intake easy to restore to stock
Is that your real plate number? That’s extremely rare especially in illinois
2000 Si is the best civic ever made and always will be. If this one had the oem spoiler it would be perfect
Some Asians style my front spoiler in the night 🤣
EK9 R is the best especially the Spoon Sport
I had no idea the SI came with a b16!!!
I had a 1995 Civic EX and Saturns used to beat me daily, lol.
And now those saturns are in the junkyard and your civic is still probably running
Future 57' Chevy right there, put them away guys and gals.
Nice video dude I want an si so bad I want it to be my first 👍
I had a Blk 2k Si. Best car I've ever owned! Wish I could find one again in Blue maybe.. Been looking. Not many left untouched by Mods. Let me know if you know if any! Nice video.
Both look amazing
glad to see a civic that's not a ricer!
I really love the 98-00 models
Front lower control arms are bigger on the si, they are stamped steel vs sand cast for other models.
Front sway bar is bigger on the so as well.
Various bushings are diff as the parts are bigger on the si.
Whole si exhaust is bigger diameter as well.
Is it worth modding an 07 ex?
how about 1999 models? i have 1999 SI, is it any better than others from that period?
The si is has a b16a vtec dohc . While ex is sohc d16y8 vtec
Does the 1999 Honda Civic Si come with a wing?
It was optional
I got a 2000 dx sedan and tbh don't wanna rice it at all and it's not rusty
That SI needs blast a lot of Eurobeat on it
This song is so rad, reminds me of high school and being enthralled in anything car related I could get my hands on.
I never knew how hard it was to find a stock original Si or Sir with low kms until now. Ive been shopping around and only came across a few clean cars. The one im really considering doesnt have the si gauge faces. Is that an option ,or is that because im looking at Canadian cars?
Most likely because that is a EX. Canadian Si is a US EX. Canadian Si-R is a US Si. This video features a US Si so in Canada this would be a Si-R.
I ended up buying a 8th gen Si. K series, nuff said :)
Best car honda ever made was the 2000 si. And the nsx.
Dominicanbulk u never heard of the type r huh😂😂
NoEdgesNoReply lol fr 😂
Agreed!
EM1 and FA5 are the only Si's worth talking about. Oh and they both have to be blue.
Uhhh are we going to forget the 94-96 Integra? Or the rsx?
I have my Silver Honda Civic 2000 EX version and it’s my baby, my boy. It’s called “LOBO”. If you want to have a compact car, fast, cheap about fuel consumption and spare parts, get a Honda Civic, the eternal car 😎👍🏻👊🏻

yes its a good car but you could start off with a 8th gen si 06-11
Is there a difference between the 2
dam that sticker price is low and to say the least i have only seen one honda civic si like yours only once it was green either that or a guy got his ex and put the vtech sticker on the side i only saw it from the side but i am not %100 sure if it was an si or not also i got to ask of all your civics which one do you drive the most also i subbed :)
It sure was low for such a amazing machine! The Si was more of a toy then a daily driver as it is now so rare in that particular condition. The EX is the daily. Thanks for the SUB!
nice :) my dad used to have a 95 accord ex 2 door it was such a nice car and man for four cylinders and being bigger and heavier than a civic it sure could fly too bad he sold it but i hope that my first car will be a honda i love them so much as much i love camaros :D
