VINs match on everything major. Title says Si. Insurance says Si. Nothing on the car says Si.to me, it looks like an EJ8 chassis with an EM1 firewall swapped in, likely as a result of a prior accident.
What does the title say? it should have the vin on it.
This is some massive hackery. i'd be very scared to drive in this car for safety reasons.
I'll get it up on ramps or a jack tonight and check. I like puzzles.if i recall, the one major difference in the em1 si vs the ej's was the control arms.
here's a pic
what do you have?

of course, that doesn't prove anything as it could have been swapped over just the same but is far less likely to have been cannibalized.
They do seem to be in there forever and the seats take up a ton of room. Our Civic's passengers front seat is pretty much in the dashboard with a rear facing toddler seat behind it.
Good luck with the project.
Currently, the list of parts I need from a junkyard are:
LH Headlight (one on it was broken and full of water)If anyone has any of this floating around, hit me up. My coworker and I are going to a junkyard on Friday to see if we can pick up any of this stuff for cheap.
Steering wheel w/o airbag module or switches
EX Airbox/Air Intake Arm
Hood release cable (can have broken pull-thing)
Door speakers
Fender Liners
EX/LX/DX/CX Grille
Door cards
RH Door switches
Front Floor Mats
Trunk-shelf trim pieces
Radio/HVAC Trim
Vent Trim
Driver's Kick Panel Trim
Exhaust header heat shield
1999 Si or EX Owner's Manual
Not in this area. I'm surprised this one wasn't listed as an Si, because that would have netted $1k more.I bet you can find a wrecked Si somewhere and swap all the parts over from it.
No plan. Saw it for cheap, it met my wife's requirements for another car (haul the toddler in it, safely) and it's a cheap and easy to work on car. I like civics. So here I am. Again. I was planning to do a mini-me swap (since I have 95% of the parts) but as it turns out, I don't need to in this guy.What's the plan for this? (sorry if that was already stated and I missed it)
False .... EX title says Si/EX and vin for EM1 also goes for EX , theres nothing Si on the car and DOUBTFUL somebody took the time to swap all the shiet over
