To change to new car or mod current car?
-
I am currently driving a yr 2000 Honda Civic SIR and currently getting some itch to either change to a new car (around the same price range since the new cars now are cheaper than a few years ago) or to upgrade the audio system, get bigger rims, etc.
Wondering what suggestions would you give and why. -
if u can afford the change why not?
COE prices v low now.
-
if i were u, i wld like to have both.. lol.. but i wld prefer to mod to change..
i wld like to have those nice booming audio systems and rims and blah blah.. tinted windows.. nice to look at too.. -

Manual SiR? Keep the car.. the B16A4 is realy good. For a 1.6l, it's got a lot of punch. Hell, it's even got enough punch for a 1.8 or 2lit. Forget that i-Vtec stuff.Originally posted by ttw79:I am currently driving a yr 2000 Honda Civic SIR and currently getting some itch to either change to a new car (around the same price range since the new cars now are cheaper than a few years ago) or to upgrade the audio system, get bigger rims, etc.

Time for a new change.....

why change? SIR not good?
-
buy new car lah...

SIR is good. but since he own a SIR and still consider to change, i tin he won't be downgrading. and will choose something close to SIR in term of specs. so y not a good new car?Originally posted by Danisdead101times:why change? SIR not good? -
First of all, I really like to thank everyone for your suggestions. =) First time in this forum and am surprised to get so many replies already in one day.
Actually, my SIR is auto. Quite a number of my friends were like "why auto?". Because my dad was not comfortable with me driving something too powerful and therefore prefer that I drive the auto version. Besides, getting stuck in Singapore notorious jams is not fun with a manual car.
Frankly speaking, I am wondering what type of vehicle has specs that is close to the Honda SIR? Any suggestions? -
i still rmb, the auto is 155bhp, the manual is 180bhb, a vast difference... but 155 on such a light car is already amazing i reckon...
haha for a new ride of roughly this calibre, you gotta look into >2L categories... -
oh...no wonder you thinking of changing a new car...Originally posted by ttw79:First of all, I really like to thank everyone for your suggestions. =) First time in this forum and am surprised to get so many replies already in one day.

CIVIC TYPE R current model plsplsplspls get get, its so nice!! I personally would keep the sir for a few more years if im on finance tho...
just my $0.02
-
My advise is, keep the SiR. Unless you are going to consider a more powerful car, like the Type R or something. Or, the least you can settle on is the Vti-S manual, which had reasonable power, but can't compare with SiR.
Yup, its a pity that SiR is no longer in production, and I would gladly like to own one as well (Manual one), even if its 2nd hand. But then, its just too expensive and not worth it.
If my memory never fails me, the SiR manual should have 170bhp and the auto 155bhp. -
aiyah if urs manual good liao den i ask u change to new car so that u can sell me ur SIR manual de.............eh......if not u go change to manual gearbox for mi can bo????
-
SiR is the best among it's class ..... it's worth every step to keep till it's time is up and scrapeyard is calling ... but anyway , if ya got a chance to change to a new one ..... why dun u get the new integra GsR from Kah Motor ... ItR is ya got the $$$.............
-
It is a good time to sell the car away.... now it is still able to get a good price... and the best thing is that most car now are getting cheaper.... SIR is sold at over 100K in the past.... the value is still there.... if have money why not??Originally posted by Bloop...:As opposed to an old change? heh heh... -
Currently no 1.6L has that power.... if you want something around this range it has to be a 1.8L or 2.0L car... lancer sports, WRX are very reliable cars...Originally posted by ttw79:First of all, I really like to thank everyone for your suggestions. =) First time in this forum and am surprised to get so many replies already in one day.

orelse ITR type R is a gd alternative NA settings... I believe that your SIR is still able to fetch a gd price if you sell it now.... so u just have to top up the remaining.

Wow! Thank you for all your input. Really appreciate your opinions. Didn't know that the SIR is that powerful. Kind of took it for granted.
Been having this dilema about whether to change or not mainly because the price of car is low and my Honda is going to depreciate faster once it hits beyond 5 years.
As for budget, should be able to afford to change to a $80-90k+ vehicle because the current car still has some value. Did see some postings about the Honda Euro-R but think it should be very expensive and only has manual version. And as for Integra, think there are many versions around. Quite confused over the various types (R? S?). Then recently read that Honda should be coming out with a new Honda Civic in 2005 or 2006. So many factors... *confused*

Autos drinks like water...

Ultimately, its not the car. Its the person behind the wheels... tested and proven. -

Hmm... Do a slight mod? What kind of mod are you talking about? Mod to improve FC?
