Honda Civic SiR-II
Honda launched its sixth-generation Civic in Japan on September 4, 1995. This page follows one exact launch configuration: the three-door SiR-II, type E-EK4, with the 170 PS B16A and five-speed manual.

Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
The SiR-II paired Honda's three-door Civic body with a naturally aspirated DOHC VTEC engine and a manual gearbox tuned for its high-revving character. Honda also offered a seven-position four-speed automatic, but that version made 155 PS and used different ratios, torque and economy figures, so it is not blended into this profile.
Look a little closer.
The cover is an uploader-owned photograph of an early Honda Civic EK4 SiR. It shows the correct early EK4 performance-hatch family, but the source labels it SiR rather than SiR-II, and an exterior cannot prove the profiled five-speed gearbox, B16A condition, build date or factory option list.
Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.
The transmission changes the engine numbers
Honda's own specification table gives the five-speed B16A 170 PS and 16.0 kg·m, while the four-speed automatic is listed at 155 PS and 15.6 kg·m. The manual also has its own five ratios and 4.400 final drive. Keeping the gearbox in the profile identity prevents the stronger manual figures from being silently attached to an automatic car.

Honda retained double-wishbone suspension at all four wheels but revised geometry, roll-centre height, mounting stiffness, stabilizer effectiveness and damper characteristics. On the SiR-II manual, a viscous-coupling limited-slip differential was available as a manufacturer option rather than universal equipment.
