I recently bought my wife an '08 Si sedan for her dd, and I inherited an '03 Si HB from her to be my dd. It's a blast to drive and I now understand the hype about vtec from both cars. Want to mod the '03, don't want to void the warranty on the '08.

welcome!!
Funny how people don't consider the vtec in the Si to be "real" just because it's not what they wish it was. My thoughts are that if that's the case, just buy the RSX-S.Quote:

welcome and enjoy epcrack! =) =)
i like the way our vtec kicks in. i guess it's more about practicality. welcome welcome!
whats important to remember is that we atleast still have that variable cam gear, thats pretty trick in my book :mredface::mbiggrin:Quote:
