Default Red Civic on williamson

At Flowers I think.. '00 Si..red with gunmetal wheels..lowerd.. anyone know anything about it? Sorta interested.. went by today and looked at it.. 5 speed.. they have $12,500 on the window.. has a scratch going down the bottom of the passinger side...

Need a daily driver.. Need to get rid of the stang. My dad was talking about just trading it in.. Thinking this would be a cool trade in....If possible.

Anyone know if it's safe to run lower than 93 gas in an Si? Only Honda I've ever owned was a Del Slow.. S series.. D15b7 was like having a golf cart motor so it wasn't picky about gas.

err... but it prob wont burn it as bad as the Supra does... a HELL of a lot easier to work on than the supra..
I guess i'll test drive it.. Would be pretty nice to have as a daily driver..It wouldn't kill me as bad to leave the Supra at home if I had a nice daily driver.

I think it is stock...

Supra has to have Premium gas.. it's Rear wheel drive so sucks in the rain and snow..takes a hell of a lot of gas to fill it up.. 6 cyl so goes through gas a bit quicker.. it has done better since i switched to synthetic oil and did a good fuel injection cleaner.. took an hour to do..glad it helped lol


oh and pics of the civic..




My dad told me to go ahead and bring the stang up there and see what they will do for me just for shits and giggles.. see if I could actually pull it off..doubt it but hey worth a try

the civic will be more economical for gas...a lot more economical... i drive my integra for gas mileage and the winter instead of my supra... RWD+snow is not fun so the supra wouldnt be a good daily driver... G32B...civic si's come with really high compression...on the gauge cluster and owners manual...it says premium only

Why is it that nobody here ever talks about Celicas? My fav car, most dependable car. My 86 ST Celica was the perfect beater, wrecked that thing like 3 times (none being my fault) 18 wheeler hit it. Blew the back windshield out (too much bass, 2,500watts, 2 12's, 2 15's) put it into several locked up skids, several 360's and 180's. Bottomed it out on a dialy basis (bad suspension). Got the car for 800$ spent 600$ on repairing the clutch (when i first bought it the prev. owner lied about the clutch, paid to have it repaired before I learned how to do it myself) It never broke down on me, ever. Always burned oil. Took it to VA and NC countless times.


I'm still searching for a 94-99 body style Celica GT-4 All Trac Turbo. I'd gladly trade my GST for it any day of my life. In 91-93 Only 300 of those cars were shipped to America. We were deprived I tell you!
