My 99 Civic Si ..Has a new home!!!!

Hello all!!! Thought I would share my new project wit you guys...Its a 99 Civic Si and I have lots planned for it.. So stay tuned in!!!

Welcome aboard friend!! What mods do you have done (if any yet) and what are your future plans with her?

Welcome to the site! Clean ride there.

Just ordered a full Tanabe exhaust..Still trying to decide what full coilover suspension I am going to get..Hopefully order that this week..Then some Enki RPF1's..Plans are to get the car to handle great first, then Ill work on power as I am still on the fence about which direction to go..So many options!!!

drop a 4g63 in there

haha, i knew you would say something, ONLY reason i said it, lol.

There's a few Honda guys on here that can help you with whatever direction you choose Dyno

haha yeah thas a sick ride ya got there!! i got a Honda but i don't have anything on it... haha so don't ask me!! haha good luck man and i'm excited to see it in the end!

i don't have any, but my friends and and family have built them and i have helped, i could probably help with some basic stuff..

Thanks for the welcomes!!!! If i need any help or advice I'll make sure to ask!!!Not my first honda though have had my share of them..Just stepped away from them for couple years!!! But have to say owning one again has made me realize the fun and enjoyment I get from messing with them...Wouldnt mind taking it to Lewistown when I get the suspension/handling all in order and installed!!!

go with the h22 swap i dont know much about hondas but i know that that swap is lights out.

i know the k20 engine is unbelievable.
this is a k20 dropped into a lotus.

Welcome aboard Ben, I am glad you found us.

The Si's b16 is in my opinion the best motor for a stock bottom end to turbo. You would need a conversion harness, a chipped and socketed obd1 ecu , wideband and a kit. tune with crome pro or s3 if you are into spending money, and you could bank on 300whp. Or you could stay all motor and REALLY toss some dough, 11:1 pistons, head work, valves springs retainers cams etc etc and maybe make 200. K swaps are too much work if you ask me but Im not a baller. You can make way more power with a b16 for about half the money. Good luck and welcome. PS a turbo b16 would not have got pulled on in the straights haha

welcome, nice civic yo!

If you're planning on scca/road race quite a bit, an h22 is heavy enough that it's going to mess with your car's balance. A turbo is going create quite a bit of heat... and might be tough to control through turns (especially if you are in between boost). Does anyone do ls/vtecs anymore? If I were to build a civic for scca and such, that's what I think I'd do. Just a thought.

thanks sprock member i never knew that. learn something new every day.

No H22 for this car..Honestly right now my focus is on the suspension and the other components to make it handle...And finding some extior parts ( wtb oem si front lip, rear lip and spoiler)

oh yeah then coilovers all the way! they make the suspension stiff as hell. my friends subey was three wheeling crooked up a driveway! Coilovers are awesome! bodyroll is completely gone

yay more honda people.

Maybe some of you are not catching on but Ben has been around Honda's for a long time, he knows what engines he can swap in, and has built more than a few both NA and turbo'd. Maybe I am the only one who realizes who this is! Anyways welcome to the forum Ben, its been a while.

This kinda gave me a clue to that Jason

yeah, figured that one out haha...

Ya it has been awhile..to long...but something I had to do..Long ugly story..On a different note...Jason I have a few questions for you about some parts and parts I am looking for??? Would of called to ask you but dont have your # anymore....

Thats a nice looking car, make me miss my old blue 2000 Si. I really wish I had that car back!!!

I had Zeal coilovers on mine, and they plain worked!!! I also ran a comptech rear sway bar, and changed out the bushings and it was a night and day difference!!
Ryan

I need to meet this guy then....Ben.

Well just ordered a set of PIC Selects, new Lca's and a Progress 22mm rear sway bay!!!!!
Cant wait to put all this on and see/feel the difference!!

Time to start thinking about whats next for the si!!!

Nice man, now the waiting for packages begins

Good stuff..

spoon reaches crazy rpm levels

I'm Tellin ya, that K20A3 longblock sitting in my garage would be awesome in that thing. I'll give you a killer deal on it too.

(you can't have my K24 though).

I am sure you would and it would be a nice motor to have...Just dont think that motor would be the right set-up in this car..for what I want to use this car for...Now hey if you still got it when a find a crx or a eg hatch then I will have to talk to you about it...

Well my oem hunt is going slow but coming along..Just purchased a si spoiler now gotta find the front lip and rear lip...So if anyone comes across one please let me know...

power before looks... always! but i sure do love some nice oem lips +)

I gotta have a clean looking car..Its my DD!!!!! Plus still trying to decide which route to go for power right now..So figure I will work on the handling part and getting the outside where I want it....

em1 is probably my favorite civic out of the bunch, cant wait to see how it turns out! arc airbox and hytech header for some power as well as class just an opinion

gonna go with a ct engineering (formly comp tech) ice box!!! Really like there function and there look!!!

35% all the way around..Think I just scored a si front lip!!!! Just gotta find a rear now..Then give it a fresh coat paint and find some ctr headlights, folding mirrors..Then outside will be done except some new wheels...

Its coming along nicely. I want CTR lights too, but that's $400 I can put toward some engine parts

So r you going to make it to lewistown? Did you own crr???

If I can get rear suspension switched out I will..But its being a real pain so seeing if I can get it to a shop because tools I have wont get it done...yes i did

Well after taking the Si to Lewistown it showed me excactly what it needs, what I want to change on her for the Sept one......So gonna order some ss brake lines...Looking into a bigger front brake kit but need to decide what wheels I am gonna run first...Would of like to come to a deal on some ssr type c's in town!!!! LoL....More updates to come when I figure them out
