My friend is selling his 97 civic ex coupe. Its red, two brand new racing seats, euro tail lights, full exhaust, $1300 rims, dc sport headers and i think front and rear strut bars. There could be more mods i just need to talk to him more. The car has just over 100,000 miles on it. My other option is my dad is getting another new car and he said he would give me his 02 Si. The only mod is piaa light bulbs. It is white and will have around 20000 miles on it. In one of the forums i saw that somebody painted their stock Si rims so i could paint mine white. I think white on white would be a good look. Im trying to convince my dad to buy a body kit. But if he doesnt do that i will have no money to put into the car. So question is 02 Si with white rims or a fully modded 97 ex coupe?

don't get it! I had a 97 ex coupe. The car is has terrible pick up. I got a JRSC and it was awsome, until I hit 100k miles and the engine,tranny, and supercharger were going to crap. Don't get it! That ex is not fully modded. Altezzas are gay!

First off that civic isnt that moddified it has headers and exhaust for the preformance thats it right. Also 100,000 Miles on a 97!!! crap thats alot, you can bet most of it was hard driving. Also your dads si will be able to whip that ex in preformance. I bet the seats that the 02 si has are better than the ones he has in his car unless there recaro, sparco, or momo. So I say get your dads.

Definately the 02 Si. Don't the old regular civics have a 1.6 at around 117hp? Even with full exhaust, intake, and whatever else you throw at it I doubt hp could be any more than 130 or so. Plus those cars have absolutely NO torque to begin with and usually those mods hurt it even more by boosting the power curve so far north you will have to rev the piss out of it to make it move. And with 100K on the odometer you probably don't want to be doing that too often. Just my opinion though; I could be wrong.
