The spec on your SI over there.

We dont have the SI, what engine is in it? power? price etc? please.

Cheers Gav.

160hp 132 torque (i think) no body kit like yours, no nice spoiler like yours, 5spd not 6, some difference in interior, seats and shifter knob, differnent color H emblem on the streering wheel, different color vavle cover for engine, 15" wheels, not 17, chrome housing headlights, not black like yours, did i leave anything out? despite all this i still love my Si, its the best civic US has to offer, and since i cant drive the type R to know what im missing, i wont matter...

I love it actually.. there's just a few places where they pinched on us. Here's what they could've added to make me happy:

1. Stiffer suspension
2. 17"s
3. 200+ HP
4. LSD

As is now I have things to upgrade. :)

the suspension is the same as the type R.
ok, I retract that statement. our suspension is tuned almost to type R specs.

Then the Type R specs probably need to be stiffer too. :D

Thanks for all that, I didnt realise the type R didnt exist in the US, Strange how they dont sell it over there.

Do they have any plans to import it to the states?

Do you get the integra type R or the Accord type R?

we got the integra type R one time a while ago but other than that they dont give us type r's because of emmissions so they say.

Thats a shame.

Does anyone in the states not Import cars themself? (grey imports)

In the UK there are loads of grey imports which have been unoffitialy imported in to the country.

these mostly consist of subaru's, evo's and sunny gtir's.....

And the odd Honda too:D

There are some grey market imports... very few. I think its harder to do it here than other countries.
