97 Civic SI and 2000 Civic SI

Looking to buy a civic SI. What's the difference between a 1997 and a 2000? Any comments would be appreciated, thanks.

The 99-00 civics had a facelift done, therefore:
Headlights are different

To accommodate the new headlights the following also changed:
fenders
bumper
hood

The rear tail lights are also different in that they no longer have amber turn signals, just clear/white.

Other than that, engine tranny and all the other goods were left unchanged for the most part, the difference between the years is mostly cosmetic.

If you have a choice of the 2 go with a 97. Reason for this is if you plan on modding the car at all the 97 has different Air Care regulations. Being a 00 you must do the OBD2 scan check. That could fuck you in the ass down the road if your modding the engine... like it has for me.

Berz out.

if i was going to get a car like that, i would look at an Integra instead, its the same chassis, but a better motor and you can do more work to it.

Thanks guys for all the input. Hey Jim how's it going? I used to deal with you a long time ago when I still had my ef. This new ride is gonna be my daily driver and I am not gonna do a lot of mod to it, probably just bolt on stuff like intake and exhaust.

I am leaning towards a 97 si right now, trying to find 15" rims and tires and a short shifter. I've got Dave from Comptec looking for me as well. I've basically got intake and exhaust already, but if I find an 'affordable' header, then I might...

i think everyone pretty much covered it.

just to re-hash, difference between 96-98 and 99-00 is:

front end (hood, headlights, bumper, grill, fenders)
96-98 has a wider bumper opening compared to 99-00
99-00 has wider grill and sharper headlights compared to 96-98
99-00 tail lights look better (for both hb and coupe )
99-00 climate control is better and also double din compared 96-98 being single din radio

this being said, everything can be modified on a 96-98 coupe fairly easily. only the climate control takes a bit more work than the rest i'd say.

good luck with your search!

you would love the apexi noir then. low rpm is similar to stock, yet it really makes a diff when you floor it.

not to mention the exhaust is full black, so it wont be heaty nor would it attract cops.
