No civic si's in 1997. They actually started back in 1984 with the CRX si till 1987. They then changed to the 88-91 CRX/Civic which there still was an Si model. It continued through 1992-1995 with the Si hatch back which had a d16z6 125hp motor not d15 127hp. There was none from 1996-1998. They were made again from 1999-2000 with a B16A2 OBDII version 160hp 111lb/ft of tq not 105. Then continued on with the new K20 series Si hatchse.

The 6th gen hatches (which only came with either a 1.5 non-vtec sohc in the CX and 1.6 non-vtec sohc in the dx. Both were dogs. They are made for one thing....gas milage. They are not fast and will not be fast. I guess a good race for an ST. :shrug: Either way both are high 16 low 17 second cars. The Civic Si with such a low stroke and sky high power band will not beat you off the line, it is the top of the power band where it will prevail. It is infact a TQless wonder.

Maybe you saw DOHC stickers on the side which can easily be picked up from a local Honda dealer for about $15 and slapped on any car. These posts kill me.

P.S. This was info was given to me by a friend who races ECHC for N.A.S.A. just for informative purposes.
