- Here I review my girlfriend's 1999 Civic Si. It's all stock except for a Ractive axle-back exhaust.
The EM1 proved to be a fun little car with some old school Honda charm. If you like my videos, then go check out some articles that I write for Autoweek!

They only made it for 2 years. '01 was a different body style.
mine makes 170hp. B16a from japan. 💪💪🔥
JDMEXforme that's the P30 my first swap got mine from a XSi into a 92 VX
I have a type r; nobody cares
dont think 170hp and the 💪 emoji should be put in the same sentence.
😂😂😂😂
buying an SIR 2000 soon. too excited
Yep. I had a 00 Si that was stolen right from my driveway! You gotta keep a close watch on these cars.
+Gerald Jean Louis yeah Honda thiefs are the worst
Gerald Jean Louis
Buy an odyssey, hidden Vtec power and nobody is gonna steal a minivan.
jmanyes No thanks. Don't really need a minivan. Maybe, I'll add an S2000 on my list with a top of the line alarm system.
Bad accident in the front? You can see that it's been repainted and it's missing some Si specific parts.
+pvtawol no it was repainted a long while ago and the parts are gone now. What parts exactly is it missing because she'd like to get all of them to make it right?
its just missing the factory Si lip.
+Aspirated Life The guy below that commented is right, just the front lip as far as I can tell. The grille and badge look correct. As far as being in an accident, I say that because all of the factory VINs are missing from the front fenders and core support. That screams "replacement" parts.
+Aspirated Life u need the SI front lip u can also get the optional fog lights
you can also see the airbag doesn't sit right in the steering wheel.
My dc2 is stock no aftermarket parts at all and it's a 95 perfect condition
A rare one is when the front end hasn’t been tweaked and there isn’t a rice shooter on the back
I've got 1 of these, RHD in clover green! first Honda, loving it so far
2 years, not 3. 99-00
that's horrible. why would they take off all the si stuff? the previous owner obviously took great care of it and im pretty sure it was kept hidden in a garage to keep it out of the eyes of potential thieves. I can't think of a valid reason why someone would do that(other than avoiding thieves). You buy an EM1 bc it's an EM1. it's sporty and has all the extra finer things. they should have bought an EX if they didn't want those things. I think that taking off those parts has brought the cars value down significantly. and I'm confused on why they took off those nice things and added that horrible yellow crap in the bay lol. but I guess at the end of the day, it's still a great car.
Dc2 so it doesn't attract thieves
I’ve had two completely stock Si’s. Black one (which I sold), and the epb one I have now. All stock. Except my epb, has coilovers, and skunk2 lower control arms. Other than that it’s all stock gem.
I would love to find a clean one...they are rare gems though.
Alex Moran theres actually a lot more space in the back than you think. i have one and people dont have a problem sitting at the back. late reply LMAO
I have a stock, clean 120k EBP EM1 on coilovers. It’s mint. Clean as hell
You found this in New York lol I was looking at this on Craigslist the first day it was posted, straight gem
I have a electron blue sir here in Canada which is the equal to the si in the US our si is equal to the ex in the US... my sir/si is modified but done tasteful most from skunk2 racing and exedy performance.. I have owned alot of cars including 2 second Gen rx7 and have driven alot of other cars but the sir has been with me for the last 5 years and will be till I die just such a driver's car and it's got no big turbo or strokers kits or a k20 swap still has the original b16a2 160hp and 111 torque and revs to the moon with a redline of 8000 max torque at 7000 and max torque at over 7500 you gotta Rev the snot out of it for it to move that's the fun part puts a smile on my face everytime I drive her now all I need is a ap2 S2000 Cr edition parked beside the sir in the garage I'll be set for life
why u hating... great review best I've seen thus far...
Would you prefer this over the prelude vtec? I have a prelude vtec at the moment and a guy with a em1 wants to trade
+Bob Nap depends on your preferences, the em1 is lighter and more utilitarian in terms of trunk space and seating space, but I like the driving experience of the Prelude more. It's sportier and the engine is definitely better just poking around town because of the torque.
Bob Nap prelude is faster and civic is lighter and more nimble through turns. I have a 99 civic ex but the Si is same thing but larger engine. The preludes h series motor is very rare these days I'd love to have one.
My coworker has a nice pearly white prelude, idk the year but its definitely nice. I got a red em1 stock, and if he wanted to trade id definitely do it xD
I currently have a em1 Ej8 and I would say no don't trade the prelude for the civic.the prelude is heavier yea but it's allot nicer of a car in my opinion compared to the civic.
Hi. I saw in parts catalog that there is was 215HP stock Civic VI 1.6 coupe. Who know what engine this car had, what model and what specs of this model?
Wasn't the EM1 made for two years?
+Andy Barton 99-01
+Aspirated Life I'm pretty sure they stopped after 2000. in 2001 we got the em2 and the ep3
Silver too
not sure about silver bro
Andy Barton sliver was in Canada I think.
does the regular gen6 civic get double wishbone for 4 corner?
I saw this '99 civic si coupe on Kijiji. How come it doesn't have a VTEC?
Marcus Stefan Tañedo because it's not an Si lol
Added the three stock motor inside
Some of the red em1's came factory wingless so that might have been deleted.
I have a Milano red 1999 EM1. It does not have a rear wing fortunately. It was shipped that way.
what is the exhaust system is on the honda civic si?
+Arnie Xiong it's a Ractive axle-back exhaust
Wheels, tail lights and front bumper give it away! Without looking in it.
Hi, nice car!...How much did she pay?
I own a clean electron blue stock
+James Santiago pretty rare to see one stock, that's awesome man!
black is actually more rare besides what people tell you.
Great color
This does not look like an SI. The dashboard is incorrect as is the instrument cluster. The absence of all the stickers and badging is also very suspect. I think you got bamboozled. I have a legitimate 1999 SI. It looks different than this
Anyone know of common problems for these cars mechanically(transmission/ engine) wise?
yeah people trashed engines and trannys left and right from 10k rpm shifts. they can only handle hitting 9 once during your shifts
Also the B16A2 had different tuning for VTEC engagement etc and different parts due to OBD systems etc but same throttle body cams compression etc as the A3(in our market) different markets got the P30 pistons(10.4.1) in both A2/A3 configurationsbut all the USD B16As had PR3 pistons(10.2.1) stock there was no difference between this an the Sols 16A3s other than the mentioned tuning and OBD the later Sols actually had the same exact A2s don't read the forums or Wiki that was put together by confused fanboys I've had both motors and had them apart as well as JDM variants.
Actually it was only made for two years, 99-00 good review..
Sleeper mode. Debadged with a healthy fart can. ☺️
Beautiful car but looks to have had alot of body work no badges and the front is a different color than the back
Just see. Your girl driving this on Kensington today lol still keeping up on the car
If I had one I would Turn It AWD an Put a 4g63 engine In it😎 the only Honda that looks Good.
This is not an si!!!! Bro you got rip !

Stupid intro music. Other than that, dope video.
Harry Kane?

Handa
They only made it for two years. 99-00. I had a 2000. Love that car! Btw, it’s not 5700rpm it’s 5500. I can tell you really don’t know much about this car.
Side note, what the hell is up with your tongue 👅?
Turbo it and boost it up
