My 250,000+ Mile 1999 Honda Civic Si 

I apologize for my multiple posts here. I thought I should share some of the things that I have done that has made my EM1 more reliable over the 320,000 miles. 1) I change the oil and filter every 5000 miles, using Royal Purple 5w/30 synthetic, substitute one quart with Lucas Oil Stabilizer, and K&N oil filter. 2) When starting the car for its first startup, I drive away after a minute or so of idling, but I keep the revs under 3500 until the temp gauge reaches normal operating temp. 3) When shifting gears, use a racer technique of rev matching BOTH downshifting as well as upshifting . Also, in stop and go traffic, don’t creep along by slipping the clutch. Instead, let a couple or more car lengths gap in front of you, so can fully let the cultch fully out, then fully in…..these two techniques allow me to easily get over 250,000 out of clutches. 4) I add 6 ounces of Marvel Mystery Oil at every full tank of gas. 5) Every 30,000 miles I replace Spark plugs, fuel filter, and clean my K&N air filter. 6) Cam belt, tensioner, water pump, and valve adjustment every 100,000 miles or every 5 years. Doing the above tasks…my EM1 has never been rebuilt, doesn’t burn any oil between oil changes, and it idles so smooth that passengers often ask me if the engine is even running lol.

I have a bit over 320,000 miles on my 2000 Civic Si EM1, and I’m the original owner, purchased it brand new in 2000 at Ocean Honda in Santa Cruz, CA. My Si is original flamenco black pearl, and no dents or dings anywhere. I added 17” Volk bronze TE37 wheels, and I have performed all of it’s services and repairs myself (I used to work as a BMW/Porsche/Mercedes technician for 13 years), so my Si has never been touched by another technician.

I love the simple interior stylings of old Hondas. It’s what I missed most about my 02 Accord coupe. That was my first car I ever purchased.

Thank you for the shout out my brother ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Should’ve bought one of these long ago because finding an excellent example today is worse than finding Waldo.

My em1 is a clean title and was in a fender bender the first year I had it in 2000. It replaced the hood and front bumper and rad support. I have all matching vins except for those pieces

I love this car man. I have a "weekend warrior" which is my 2004 Integra Type S. If it wasn't for so many bad drivers here in Cali, I would drive it more. I tend to take it out very early in the morning while all the shitty drivers are still asleep.

for 250k it looks dam nice and yeah the white stuff is compound cause u have to do paint correction to do ceramic coatings

damn bro ive found you years ago with the deadpool z and now your video is on my fyp. Keep makin videos a like em :)

250k+, 25+ year old car, perfect imo

remember these sold new for $16,900 MSRP! Now Si is 29,000 haha

This vid makes me happy cause I got the black em1 and my car is far from perfect too. Car is at 260k miles my headliner is torn, seat is sagging along with the door panels but imma get it back to oem. Also it’s my daily lol

Dope video. I'm not even half way but the roof is notorious for bird dookie and it'll do permanent damage I had to get my roof repainted lol

That rubber tube from the valve cover going to your air intake might be a reason why your losing oil. If your throttle body is all grimey and dirty then oil is getting sucked up into it. Also thr leaking oil pan would only contribute to the loss of oil

What type of exhaust sir?

9:05 damn that’s not a homie bro!

How much for your car?

The blend job from fender to door is terrible on the passenger side
