go for the Vti ... as its different more style ... and engin sounds nice when taking to high rpms :D hehehe unlike the Si its jst a normal DOHC 4cyl engin ...get Vti ;)
im pretty sure ur right ben in term of obd1 vs.....
Sun roof :D
Need i say more? :p
Nice to see you back Trav :thumbsup: have fun wherever you went?
They both make the same amount of power at around the same RPM (mid to high 6000's). Torque is very simular borh being 1.6. THey both have limited aftermarket support, with most D-Series aftermarket support being aimed towards the D16y8 that comes out of the EJ coupe making 93Kw.
D16y8 doesn't come out of the EK Vti. That motor is a D16y5, and makes the same peak power as its non vtec brother the D16y4 being 88Kw.
IMHO test drive a few, and get the one with the least KMS and have it checked out
by a MECH to see if its fuk'd. When myself and Mek go down to the drags soon, we can give you a good idea on SOHC vs DOHC, me haveing a D16y8 and him having a ZC, both with I/H/E and Clutch.
One more thing, if you do decide on the Si, you could always do a mini-me and put a Y8 head on it, then that opens up a door of possibilities with cams ect ect.
had a friendly drag wif my fren's EG Si sedan in my ex EJ8....from 0-70km/h i was abt 1/2 a car length in front...at abt 80-90km/h he started to gain on me...we both have same mods and i having 1 mre passenger than him...upon reaching 3rd gear his SI just creeps past me

Can si engine mounts be used for a b16a since both are dohc or do you still need to purchase some b16a mounts or do some custom fabrication?
Can anyone help me out on the last question?
Also, apart from the sunroof, what's this nicer interior ppl are talking about? What extra features do vtis have over si? Cruise control i'm guessing?
No Cruise control in the AUDM VTi'sQuote:

Being that you are in Sydney it may be something to look at.
Not so much to do with the extras teh car has but also the age of the car. Ive seen cars of same spec being a few hundred $ a year difference just due to one being a 92 compared to the other being 94.
Other than that id go for the car with Air Con and cleanest interior.(as long as the bodys are both good)
May not sound like much to some but if you have one with cracked dash or stuffed carpets the cost adds up fast.
