engine ek1
- sohc no vtec (slower)
- ek1 CXi 96-98 rear brake drums (not sure about the 99-00 CXi's)


engine ek4
- dohc vtec (faster)
- all 4 brake disc no drums

thats without getting too technical with kw's and engine name n numbers n shit..

ill let the other guru's do that for yah

buy the ek4..

ek1's vary from 96-00

ek4's were only from 96-98

interior of ek1
- grey trims with different cloth trimming.
- grey carpet
- no headrest for the back seats
- no passenger air bag
- diff cluster
- ek1 CXi no power options (not sure about the 99-00 CXi's)
- ek1 GLi power options

interior of ek4
- black trims with redish black cloth trimming
- black carpet
- headrest for back seats
- passenger air bag
- diff cluster
- ek4 all have power options (power mirrors, windows n stuff)

exterior ek1
- no sunroof
- chatty hub caps if standard

exterior ek4
- factory sunroof
- comes with fully sick ek4 rims (blades i guess)

the main factors that would get you buying an ek4 is motor is diff, it has rear discbrakes, ABS, and all electricals ie: power windows, power mirrors, sunroof.ek4 has bigger sway bars on the front, and extra sway bar on the rear over the ek1.and all of the above that dupac has mentioned cosmetic wise

interior of ek1
- ek1 CXi no power options (not sure about the 99-00 CXi's)
- ek1 GLi power options

just wondernig...

so is the only difference in between a CXI and GLI
is that the GLI has the power options?

or is there more to the two models than that?

mirrors are black on the CXI and gli/vtir they are colour coded! tacho as mentioned, electric options, interior trim. biggest factor is the motor and seriously if u can afford to get a EK4 for your first car do it. if u have the knowledge time and money buy a CXI or GLI and do an engine conversion down the track you could also follow that path.. really it is up to you but if i had my time again i would have saved up a bit more and got myself a EK4! good luck with it dude!
