dont bother comparing a gli to a si.. only a si and vti can really be compared because of the 1.6 injected motor with same kw, gli only have the 1.5 injected (gl is carby 1.5)

buy the si over a gli!!!! all the si's and vti's i was looking at a few weeks ago either had really high km or were asking 8k+

i just bought a eg5 (vti, but was concidering the si as another option) my daughter has a gli and is so dissapointed after being in the vti, si's go just as well as the vti but dont have the vtec thats really the main difference (my inlaws had the si when it was new and i loved that all those years ago)

That is right. I tried my friend's Vti when he bought it and I realised that there is not much difference in terms of power. The only difference is the change over sound which makes you feel good. However, I don't feel a single push at all when vtec kicks in.

On the other hand, Si would be a choice to go if you are looking forward to future mods. You can consider force induction. Apparently, D16A8s are pretty good for turboing.

In conclusion, if you are looking for some vtec-ing with push. Get cars with DOHC Vtec (B16A, B18C, B20B, K20A and etc) in it. But however, that is defintiely going to cost you a bomb. If you are looking for daily driving and with some power in it. Vti and Si would definitely the one to go. You will not go wrong with either of them. Just beware of the vehicle's history and etc.

my 2 cents worth.

i had a look at that 'Si'. Went through the logbooks and found out it was a Gli. She was like it's a 1.6 and since the 1.6 are only in Si and Vti, I assumed it was an Si until I noticed the badging next to the radiator... 'EG4'. Haha thanks god I asked you guys what Eg3, eg4 and eg5 mean... FAIL haha

So going to move on and have a look at that black one sometime next week. The guy finally answered his phone so will have a look at that next week sometime.

Ok so I picked up a Gli, (Awesome nick, pretty much too good to pass up.) I had a read about types of oils you guys used, OEM, 15w, thickness etc, so now im confused.

What would be a good oil to use for my 94 eg4 Gli? Looking to do an oil change tomorrow.

I also notices a buildup of grease toward the back of my engine block above the CV Joint? Just some grey shit . Any idea where thats coming from? I am still learning the ropes.

Cheers
