My car just turned 16 years old. Happy Sweet Sixteen, B16. Had a scare last week with a spark plug coming half way loose making a metallic tapping on noise on the spark plug cover. Thought I wrecked something in the valvetrain. Tightened it up and it continues to pull hard to redline. I can't really understand how this engine still runs so well considering how many times I've run the thing up to 8000rpm. Can't bring myself to get rid of this car even though I have no time or space for it. Decision would have been a lot easier if I did actually pop something in the engine. Anyways here's a picture of the sexy 16 year old before I put it in storage for a while. Sorry to all the perverts who came into this thread expecting something different. |

Posted at 5:22am...were you two out celebrating all night? My car is 18. Now I can take him to the adult drive-in movie theatres. I don't remember the last time I hit the VTEC not alone red lining it. |
||||||||

|
|||||||
What a clean car. Keep it. What's up with that bike in the back lol |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I was up early because I'm moving tomorrow. Lots of stuff to do. Bike was on the back as I was going to Centre Island with a couple of bikes the next day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I've told you this a million times via pm. I got dibs if it's still mint and for sale anytime soon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I was tempted to say the same thing ^ Need to refrain, but I would totally give that car a nice place to live |

I traded it in for an 06 Si which was junk. Vw ever since with 2 Gti's. I've done some history searching on my old SiR and it was eventually stolen and chopped, belongs to an insurance company on paper somewhere. Should have never gotten rid of it but it's part of life and growing up. Now it's just a mission to try and find one trying to relive what you had. Or do you just move on and buy something else. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
^ aw man, didn't know your SiR was hit. That thing had so little mileage. OP: how many clicks do you have on your car? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Keep it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I'm constantly looking for a clean sir, but insurance on it is stupid lol for what it is |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Should be able to get Hagerty for it these days. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
My question is OP Is how the hell was your car never stolen |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
An older lady I work with has an OG '99 SiR. Its kinda beat up, but still maintained by Honda. Well over 200k but still drives and pulls great. All original still, wheels, seats, fogs, etc. Few door dings, but no rust aside from the stone chips. Accident free and shes the original owner since new. I have no idea how much its worth, but Id think it would be a great project car. I told her if she ever wanted to get rid of it that I might be interested. That is until she showed up at work driving a newish Toyota Venza. Traded the SiR in on a whim for it. Dealer gave her $1000 for the SiR. #sadface |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
That's one clean looking car. But I don't miss mine one bit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
As celebration I may have to try and dig up the video of this SiR, Frank's, and mine before it was stolen. 3 flawless VSM SIRs driving around together in harmony making sweet b16 music....definitely not something that will be seen again. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Make with vid ASAP |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
nice OP - same way i think/feel about the Type-R I have...just keeps on ticking regardless of DD or lapping, so awesome. wish the body was as in good shape as yours, but that can be repaired properly one day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
is that still the original lip? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
100% Front and back are both oem, the abs plastic ones protrude more and look like shit. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||

|
|
|||||||

So are these cars old enough now that they are past the point of being a thief magnet? Now that everyone is into G35, IS, 3-series, Genesis, etc Does a B16 fetch a premium at race wars? |

It's still a Honda Civic, at that age and mileage it's going to rattle and make all kinds of squeaks and creeks. Annoying as fuck. If you really want one I'd pony up for a garage queen one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
i kinda really want this. (but not for that crack smoking price) http://www.kijiji.ca/v-cars-trucks/missi...gationFlag=true |

||||||||
|
|

People are still stealing ITRs? Why, a stock Toyota Camry will beat it at the lights... |
