EM1 2000 Honda Civic Si - Intro & Walkaround - Project 130R

We did not see this one coming. Welcome to our first official vehicle purchase specifically for refreshing, renewing, and preserving for the next enthusiast to enjoy! This is a 2000 Honda Civic Si with just under 93k miles, and it is a great candidate: oil leaks, curbed wheels, crazy Stage 3 clutch, worn interior pieces, and of course poorly-disclosed bumper bashes that will need repainting.

Stay tuned as we take on every challenge in pursuit of near-perfection! Thank you as always for your support that allows us to keep these cars on the road. Enjoy!
