I bought a em1 si and the carfax said si/sir also I recently bought a Canadian em1 but carfax only shows as si and not sir the car was a rolling shell but the vin did have em1

The college I went to had a huge international presence. One of the favorite cars at the time were the s2000s, and they’re a few of these sc400s worked up. I always thought they were super clean and would be a sweet daily cruiser for one or two people. This video takes me back. Had a family member with an ls400 which I always liked, and it was super reliable….

You can buy a MODULATOR for around 10 bucks or even cheaper ---- plug it into your car's lighter socket and run the tuner on your radio --- it will lock onto the frequency and connect your BLUE TOOTH function on your phone in less than 30 seconds -----

Fun fact: For the 10th Generation Civic that ran from 2016-2021, the base model for Canada was the DX, not LX

I had a MB4 chassis Acura 1.6 EL with a B16A2/S4C swap, fun car, there was no performance model EL so it was kind of like a 6th gen SiR sedan they never made Rear disc swap, EM1 drivetrain, Koni yellows, a Mugen twin loop muffler, and some sticky tires Not fast by modern standards but was for sure one of my favourite cars I owned

Literally my dream car . Slow Af . Still my dream car .

i always wanted one of the Acura EL's... one of the teachers at my middle school had one and i thought it was the coolest cuz it was a civic... but fancier?? same thing with the Acura CSX, another Canadian exclusive Civic with an Acura badge!!

I’m 20 years old have have about. 50 grand what version of the sc should I get I would like one with the most power obviously and would like the learn manual but yeah I just want the coolest and most powerful model that I could upgrade for cheap hp if anyone can help me decide thanks

I would avoid these cars at all costs. Lexus SCs are the japanese endless moneypits. If you want reliability get an avalon or camry. Parts are very expensive on these cars.

Granted I'm not around a lot of car people, but I didn't realize people dislike the Del Sol. I've never owned one but absolutely love those lil guys 🥰

Hit the nail on the head with your review and Problems with the integra

8th gen hate man

I got the tech package 09 csx love the car to death

I suggest picking up a hx and putting a new engine in it

$8400 for a civic lol

i have a 6th gen 2000 civic sedan SE its basically bace model

Great video. I had the 97 2.2 5 speed manual & 97 3.0. Both great cars. The 3.0 had some serious power at that time being my 1st v6 acura/ honda. I then had the 01 which was also a great car. Previous owner had transmission rebuilt and was bulletproof after that. I now got the 03 6 speed monster in red on black non navigation. Never letting it go. Very rare and a blast to drive. Only wish i knew about the supercharger back then because maybe i could of gotten one. Anyway i'm on your channel now checking out content. Your in Canada but we are on same thought process with cars. Great channel my friend. Also subscribe and gonna share channel

I miss my first car, a 91 DX Hatchback, that I had swapped a DOHC ZC into, giving it the heart of the JDM Si while keeping those nice long DX gears. This was way back in 1999-2000. I am now in the process of building a 98 EJ8 Coupe while still daily driving it. I have already added rear disc brakes, New, wider rubber on all 4 LS mesh wheels, currently in the process of refreshing the suspension, with a mix of new Poly and rubber bushings, tein coilovers and adding a rear sway bar from an integra. And then it is on to the fun stuff, like converting it to a 3 pedal and eventually an engine swap. Despite growing up when the B series was king, I think I am going to do a K swap.

Seeing that Canadian Acura 1.6 EL blew my mind like seeing the Honda Orthia with an ek front end swap for the first time did.

Funfact the dealer installed Keyless option on 96-00 US Civic LX is just programing the remote. All of the control components are present in the car from the factory.

What can I clean the filter with ??

Do you know what's confusing? Up until 2001, the Honda Civic sedan was sold as the Honda Ballade where I live in South Africa. The Honda Civic hatchback was first introduced for the sixth-generation Civic's run, but it retained the Civic name. We did not get the coupe like Americans, Europeans, Aussies, and Japanese did.

Who cares!! They were fun to drive!! First my 1993 civic si hachback!! Then 1999 civic sir coupe in beautiful red were the best cars homda ever made! Now to buy a type r civic is all fifty thousand’!!! …..😱😱😱😱… but I enjoy your video!👍👍👍👍👍

I had a 1992 4-door Acura Legend, and it was a great car. I really wanted the 2-door coupe as it was the best looking. Honda really destroyed the brand in the mid-90's when they introduced the 3.5RL. Very bland and looked like everything else. Nice video.

2006 TSX 6-Speed owner here, I bought it back in 2008 before these Gen-Zers named their cars!

Couldn't believe there was no si hatch in 94.95 in Canada, but yes for the US These name changes are stupid

My mom had a Baddass SC300 pearl with all whistles. Loves that car

My friend front end swapped a 1998 el front end on a canadian ej8 si coupe, which looks great

I had a couple of 90 and 91 Civic Si's and I could never find one with A/C. That plus no power windows / no power steering makes them get old really fast.

I've had two 4th gens and loved both of them. The second was a 1995 VTEC that someone dumped a bunch of money into and came lowered with magnesium wheels, full aftermarket exhaust, a hotter camshaft, under drive pulleys and had fiberglass fenders in the front with functional vents along with a fiberglass hood again with functional vents. Coming from a 160 hp 4th gen I was thrilled with it's performance. It would drag cars that the owners thought would smoke the all black rice rocket. It slew two S2000s, a handful of SN95 Mustang GTs, a variety of modified Civics, and a G35 (was an automatic, doubt I could have taken a manual). The H22 and the Prelude never got it's due. Great little 4 banger and sounded great, especially when compared to any B series. Kicking myself for selling the black VTEC. They're starting to disappear and the decent Preludes that are for sale seem to be in the 6k and up range and when you start coming up to 8k there's just better options.

I want my first car to be an EL or a CSX

meanwhile i live it SEA country and we could only DREAM about owning a Si/SiR civic

On my 3rd Gen Prelude my driver door was sagging BAD when I got it. When I found a junkyard Prelude the driver's door was just as bad if not worse. So what I did was just take the hinges from the passenger side flipped upside down. Made it like BRAND NEW.

I had a guy who imported a SiR to Seattle and brought it to cars and coffee, I got confused, Thinking it was a JDM SiR, until I saw the Left hand drive wheel. Thank you for putting this out, as it boggles me on what options Canadians get over Americans in a lot of cars... I work for a Subaru dealership and occasionally a Canadian spec Forester or Crosstrek comes in. Dual zone climate used to be common in Canada spec cars, whereas you had to get a higher line Forester to get that option if you didn't want to get an Outback or Legacy here in the US.

All Canadian Acuras and Hondas have a much larger windshield washer fluid tank, no matter where assembled (US, Can, Mex, Japan) (example: the Mexico built 2024 HR-V has a 1.6 quart tank for US spec but a 4.8 quart tank for Canada spec, 3 times the size)

Also to add the 07-08 are more sought after also 06 but not as much as the last 2 years. Due to hondata and tuning softwares being plug and play. Not needing to swap out ECUs, and re program the key/immobilzer . While 04-06 can get reflashed just not capable of anything further. Without doing the swap. Also the 06-08 head flows slightly better and has one of the best oem drop in cams for the kseries. Then other small things like the throttle body being slightly bigger.

Love my Tsx’s have 3 of them currently all 6 speed ebony interior! 🙌🏼 First one was arctic blue 6 speed ebony interior with Navi

He means Grindr profile

Big Integra guy here and somehow I kinda told myself that I would never own a DC2/DB8 as after owning a DA9 and DC5...and now I do (DB8 GS-R). 😂😂 The main reason why I said that is because I hate 4 headlight front and it needs to come off for the J front. BRB...gonna go resuscitate it after blowing it up. 🤦

I LOVED my del sol. And all it had was the lowly d15

Nicely done summarizing this model in a concise yet informative manner!

I have a an automatic and looks like it much more intense but about to give it a go

Sc300 with a factory 5 speed checking in 🤙

Omg best $25 I've spent on a 21 piece titanium bit set I got my rotor off yaaaay

Underrated and underappreciated. I've had my 1994 Si since 2000. I did a B16 swap in 2005. I'm currently tearing it down to restore it and swap in a K24.

Where’s that first clip from?😂

great video! i had a manual is300 but always wanted the sc300, still do. this has reignited the fire lol

Yo is that a Soupbruh 😮😢😂 (80000000hp on stock) 😭

My car won’t start up how else can I check ignition timing

Long Paragraphs ahead! As someone who has a 04 KA9, 05 KB1, and 14 KC1 Advance in their garage, I will say that they are all extremely solid cars. Out the 3, I would tie the 04 and 14 with the 05 being slightly lesser of a car. The RLX before the suspension changes in 16' is pretty stiff with mediocre articulation. The suspension does not shield the car from the bumps well. However, it makes up for this with having by far the most direct handling of the 3. The 04' is nearly as stiff damper/spring wise to the RLX but has a suspension which is second to none at articulating ie. very smooth, buttery action which mellows up the bumps nicely. The bumps feel like soft punches on the 04 while the RLX can feel like Mike Tyson on really bad roads. The 05, has a good suspension, but doesn't articulate as well as the 04 nor handles as nicely as the 14. In terms of raw mechanical handling, the order is 14, 04, 05 from greatest to worst. In terms of build quality, the 04 smokes the 05 and the 14 isn't too far behind the 04. The paint/clearcoat is much thicker on the 04 and very scratch and chip resistant for a black car. The 14 has better gloss than the other 2, but has the worst durability of the 3. The front bumper is in horrendous shape after 10 years/135k miles and looks a lot worse than the 04' at 225K/20 years. The 05 has very smooth paint compared to the other 2 (minimal orange peel), but I can't verify how much paint is OG as the car was in a few accidents. Interior wise, the 05 was probably nice when new, but falls apart really badly as it gets older. The 14 and 04's interiors are identical in durability both looking new after x amount of years with a less than perfect maintenance schedule. Material wise goes to the 04 though. That thing defines plushness. The only thing on the 04 is that the OG headlight and fog light coatings suck. They lasted about 8 years before fogging up. Weight for the cars if anyone cares is the 04 weighs about 3890 pounds with og tires. 14 Advance weighs 3997 pounds with og tires. Now about 3980 with the OG Continental DWS 06s. 05 weighs 3984 pounds. Kinda funny how the 05 almost weighs the heaviest of the 3 despite being the smallest car. Drivetrain wise, the 04' wins in terms of subjective feel for me, but the RLX wins due to sheer power to the wheels (about 260 hp). The 05's SH-AWD is very nice for handling and poor road conditions, but it saps a lot of power. People report that about 200hp makes it to the wheels which is a little too close to the 04' actually and feels slower than the 04 in town. Due to the layout of the engine on the 04, the engine feels very direct and smooth. At highway speeds you can control the car easily with the throttle due to the torque curve and its so smooth at all speeds. Only problem is a dead spot at 3800-4700rpm. Feels weird when in 4th at high load ;). The RLX needs to have the VCM disabled. The car drives so much better without it. Lastly, the 05 for some reason is very rev happy. Easier to rev the engine compared to the other 2. Daily driver wise is a tie for the 04 and 14 due to the 04's gas mileage (some might say lack thereof). The 04 is really smooth and reliable, but the best it can manage is 25 highway on a good day. The RLX can get 33 highway. Don't ask about the city figures... 05 is great for bad weather, but falls a tiny bit short of the other 2 in most other areas. Comfort and DD handling is best on the 04. Reliability actually goes to the RLX. The RLX has had the least non-maintenance parts replaced at this time in its life compared to the 2 other cars at the same time. Only the rear right sway bar end link and wheel bearing has been done in the suspension, while the engine had a lost motion spring replaced. That and the sub in the Krell models dies for some reason. Gonna be number 3 really soon. However, this year I had to purchase the P-AWS actuators for 3000 a pair. OUCH! The 04 has had suspension work done by this mileage (135K) (UCA, TRE, SBEL). The engines in all 3 have all been extremely reliable in their lifetimes. To this day, the only thing that has been broken in the 04's engine bay were the valve cover gaskets at 212K and a connector at the same mileage. Everything else that isn't maintenance related in the engine bay is OG to the car. The 05 has the best objective brakes while the 04 has the best feel by far. The 05's brakes stop faster but don't feel as good as the 04's brakes when in use. This might be due to pad choice though. The RLX feels weird under braking due to using the rear wheels to help stop the car by toeing the alignment in. Space wise, 14 wins with 04 very close behind and the 05 being very far behind. The 04 has damn near unlimited space in the trunk while the rear seats in the 14 are about as spacious as a couch. 05 is just too small to compare to the raw space that the other 2 have. Tech wise it goes 14, 05, 04 from best to worst. Note that in terms of competition the 05 crushed everything when it was new and its still very competent even 20 years later. Sound system wise actually goes to the 04' if the OG Bose system is completely intact. Not to mention it is the first car in the world to have XM standard. It still works great 20 years later. The 04's system was loud as hell and had great spatial and bass characteristics with the OG speakers. 14's Krell has great spatial characteristics, but meh bass. Great for rock and jazz from the 70s, but not so great for boom bap from the 90s (Black Ac' music for me). Can't rate the 05 as the rear sub is blown bad, but I have a feeling that it will be worse than the other 2. Styling is subjective, but I will say the the full gold kit on the 04 looks great with black. Gives the car flair and class at the same time for me. Interiors are tied for me in terms of styling. They all look great. The 04 is also really short in stock form which adds to the sportiness of the design (Only 55 inches give or take an inch). Pretty funny seeing my taller friends trying to get into the 04 after being used to SUVs their whole lives. 14 has a presence which for some reason pictures cannot capture well at all. She feels a lot more substantial in real life vs pictures. Dear God have mercy on everyone who has bothered to read this.
