- The Honda Civic Si was a performance
- -oriented version of the sixth-generation
- Honda Civic produced from 1999 to 2000.
- Only available in a coupe body style, the
- car was powered by a 1.6L B16A2
- inline-4. The Si moniker was mostly used
- in America as Japan used the SiR and
- Type R monikers and Europe the VTi.
- Despite its short production cycle the
- car gained a dedicated following.
- The Hot Wheels casting replicates
- a specific 2000 Honda Civic Si
- entered by Super Street Magazine
- into the Honda Civic Si Challenge;
- the goal of the challenge was for
- four automotive magazines (Car and
- Driver, Sport Compact Car, Super
- Street and Popular Mechanics) to
- turn a pre-production 2000 Honda
- Civic Si into a modified ride with a
- $10,000 budget within five months,
- the deadline being 30 September
- 1999; the cars would be judged on
- appearance, performance and
- emissions. The build was overseen
- by Dave Martis.
- Modifications to the car included a Wings
- West Avenger bodykit, Progress Group
- coilovers, JUN Auto Mechanic-tuned
- naturally-aspirated B16A2 engine,
- short-ratio transmission, titanium exhaust
- and ECU programming, with the engine
- tuned by Susumu Koyama, Honda
- Optional Equipment wing, Versus
- Motorsports carbon fiber hood, Endless
- brake pads, Cusco LSD, Car Craft custom
- interior, Modern Image wrap and 225/40R16
- Yokohama A038s. The car was nicknamed
- Ichiban (lit. "No. 1") or "Itchy" for short and
- won the competition. The car is currently
- located in Honda America's private
- collection and is not street legal, having
- been showcased at a number of SEMA
- events since.
- The casting was introduced into the
- Hot Wheels mainline by Alec Tam in
- 2001, with Martis assisting with the design
- of the car and Eric Tscherne doing graphics.
- The casting was retooled for 2021, the entire
- tooling was updated sharing no pieces with
- the original model. This new casting includes
- side mirrors and a glass moonroof not found
- on the original casting. The casting also saw
- the removal of the front passenger windows,
- and sported a slightly modified bodykit with
- a new hood style, taller rear wing, modified
- interior and lowered ride height. This version
- of the casting is noticeably shorter and wider
- than the older version.
