Sorry guys but i was under the impression that the si didnt have disc brakes at the rear? That was one of the reasons y i picked up a vti....And i also thought that si and vti made same power??? 96kw???
If im wrong pls tell me just trying to help and clarify some issues!:D
ps. dont want to take attention away from the original question!

Both the Si d16a8 DOHC engine , and the vti d16y8 SOHC engines, produce the same peak power = 96kw.
From a drag race - totally stock between the two , same driver etc - the Si will pull ahead from 2nd gear tho.
thanks benjamin for clarifying that for me, strange though how they have same power and yet the si will pull? Let me at him bro! :D

Thats a strong statement against the vti ben!Quote:

I don't think the EG Vti model came with ABS at all. But the sunroof and SRS was a standard item from 94-95 on the Vti.
Vti is abit more refine, engine was more quiet some with interior noise, but Si has more torque at low end. both really about the same. I think the Si is a little bit lighter in terms of weight.
Is a bad thing Honda don't offer factory sunroof as an option now.
Ive seen some SIs with sunroof, but then again ive seen Breezes and GLis with sunroofs.
Its a rarety but not completely out of the question to find a SI with a sunroof.
As Win said the interior trim is nicer in the VTi, and they get a cup holder *jelious* :( !!
I prefer a DOHC engine, vtec or not, so id still opt for the SI... but its personal preferece, very similar top model EGs =]
I'll definitely be checking out geo41e rides once I sell my dual carby.
si till i die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
wow. this is a good read! im actually learning stuff! dedicated si fan award goes to........Trav!! hahahaha
