few noob questions

[kEnsHi]

wats the difference between vti and vtir civic coupes besides the power difference?
do the vtir civic coupes come with a sunroof?

[madgrk]

Sunroof = yep :)

[Chi]

vti-r = 1.6 DOHC VTEC
vti = 1.6 SOHC VTEC

And i think vti-r coupes sunroofs are optional for ek models.

[2ds]

it should also be noted that teh vti has a d series engine and the vti-r has a b series engine

[VTEC16]

Im pretty sure there are differences in brakes, suspension and chassis brace too?

[madgrk]

You would hope/assume so yeah lol.. Otherwise it wouldnt be worth the extra $$ to get just a B16 with standard brakes etc

[civex98]

Hmm.
well a few things here..
difference btw vti coupe and vti-r coupe are these
obviously B16A in vtir and D16y in Vti
Sunroofs are NOT standard on the vtir coupe... they are optional (unlike the hatches)
Vtir has 4 wheel disc brakes unlike the vti which has 2 front discs and 2 rear drums (this is different on the GLI coupes, 99-00 with the D16y)
rims are different as well (vti rims are 14" i believe..well they look smaller than the 15" on the vtir)
vtir also comes with front strut brace and a bit tighter suspension.
seats are alos a bit different too :D
also interior lighting is amber in the vti but whitish in the vtir.
pretty much everything else is the same.

[[[d a n n y]]]

oh 1 more

the rear lights

VTi has amber rear indicator lights and the VTiR has clear

VTiR looks better

[kEnsHi]

great fanx for the info guys
appreciate it

[VTEC16]

OHhh....also the VTi-R has a "VTi-R" sticker on it :D

[wynode]

LOL Vti-R tail lights are also different. Might wanna check out the Civic Sticky for any more info.

]]VTiR looks better

This is mainly because the VTi was a 96-98 car and the VTi-R is 99-00, so it benefits from the EK mid-life facelift (nicer lights, bumpers, front spoiler). You'll find the Coupe GLi (99-00, rubbish car) also has similar exterior.

[VTEC16]

Iv never understood how ppl think the 99-00 looks better than the 96-98....

i reckon the early model ones look much cleaner? ....maybe its just me...

[Morkz]

go to www.redbook.com.au

They have specs on all cars imported to Aus

Ultimately it's subjective, but I think makes the 99+ EK Civics look better is the lack of the bumper strips. This doesn't apply to the Civic Coupe, USDM EK Civics and the CTR.
