Hey wait...so you're not going to wait and get the type r? What happened to kicking all the si-buying-chump's asses w/ a new type r? Secret Honda mole take his word back?

Anyway, I'd say your best bet is to look on ebay for a used one or one that was in a wreck...because I remember OE prices made me laugh for a second and feel sorry for the chump who bought it. Expect to pay 4-6k for a used K20A2 setup and installing it yourself. Expect to pay for pretty much another new car if you take it Honda.

I know I'm confusing things here because I thought the SiR is just the Canadian model of the SI. Pradamuimui could you clear this up for me? Thanks

Oh no....it is. But according to pradamuimui there is a 220hp version of our cars (for the same 17K i paid for my car- omg220hpsamepricingmadjdmsweetcivic) coming to America this...what, spring? summer? autumn? winter? never? And that one is supposed to be the tru-blu SiR.

i've seen them range from about 3k-5k or so. ebay, the rsx forums, and other honda car forums are good places to look

Damn, is this actually confirmed at all or just some rumor? Seems insanely hard to believe that honda would ever come out with a 220 hp version of a civic without a 23K+ pricetag..At least in the states.

Although im all for Honda's and I've only owned either honda/acura, it has always gotten to me that europe and japan get sportier versions of cars that we have. I would have thought it is clear that they would be good sellers in US, but they know more about supply and demand than I do.

Whoa.

A 220 HP version of the EP3? That might be worth getting rid of the ITR.

If they do make it, I hope they put better brakes on it. The EP3's ABS pales in comparison to the ITR's. Can't think of anything else I'd change, though! :)
