Firstly, this is the a quote from the originator.

my current bdget is $1500 at most, but in the near future i'd be more than happy to spend more.

any help/tips/advice would really be appreciated!
The VTi-R has the better engine/drivetrain package which immediately places it leagues ahead of the Gsi. The VTi-R also comes with better suspension components and has disc brakes all round with ABS (not sure what the Gsi has). The VTi-R is far better equiped inside as well, with full electrics, sunroof, airbag blah blah.

If you want performance, bottom line is the VTi-R is so much better than the Gsi is ain't funny. Not to forget the fact it is manual.

Anyway, i was not bagging what he has, just stating the truth. If you want performance, get the better base to work on.

Even if you did a few mods to the Gsi (i.e. I/H/E) the auto will only hold up so much before it shits itself.
Hehe.. worked up? nah, not worked up. Just amused at double standards.
I thought we're here to "help each other out, work with wat we have, blah blah blah"....

And yes, u SHOULD "have" to justify ur previous post, because from where i'm standing it seems like there's a fair bit of hyprocrisy on ur part.
Firstly, AFAIK the GSi and VTiR share the SAME suspension and handling components. Both carry the same 14mm rear swaybars, and brakes are also identical.

The GSi has a grey velour-like interior compared to the VTiR's BLACK velour-like interior, however both cars have SRS driver's airbag, sunroof and full power options. So basically you're paying more cash for the B18C engine and the ABS system (let's not forget the mighty VTiR sticker).

Either way, Vunibaka OWNS a GSi... he/she wants to IMPROVE the performance of the forementioned car, not own a car with GREAT performance. There's a difference in that. By you giving the GSi shit, you're not helping this thread go anywhere. An s2k owner could amble along and tell you to lose your VtiR and buy an S2000 for "improved performance".... but how likely is that to happen? after all Vic.... "If you want performance, get the better base to work on" ....pfft. I refuse to believe there's nothing that can be recommended to assist this person in IMPROVING his/her car's performance.
