long story short....i wrecked my red 2000 civic si a few years ago that i had purchased off the showroom floor with 0 miles. I picked up a cheap 99 EX and purchased my si back from the insurence company for $1500 which was a steal! my suspension cost more than that. I have taken every part off my si and swapped it over to the ex. while the engine was out i rebuilt it for boost.
