EG si or EG vti?

[Jazzle]

hey guys, need your help... I am thinking of buying a 2nd hand car.. and is thinking of either an EG or EK...
EK vtir is abit too expensive to me as my budget is around 10000 (preferably lower).... so I guess I will probably just get an EG with lower Ks..

i have so far testdrove a Vti and a Si.... the 2 cars feel so different... for some reason the Vti felt super light.. the steering, the gear, the clutch.. is it normal?? whereas the Si felt more solid..

which one do you guys prefer? si or vti?? to me reliability comes first then performance then look

and what should i be aware of when looking at the 2 cars??

Thanx in advance for helping

ps. i have seen threads discussing similar issues.. so please forgive me for bringing up another thread again...

hmm ok i will put in with my you should do the vti... cos it has vtec yo, screw the DOHC cam, who needs more torque.

honestly just get the one in better condition.

unelss your buyin an import vti, the vti will have a sunroof. If that is something your after, then you should grab that.

It really depends what your after. They are both similar cars. As type one said, you should probably just get which ever one you can find in better condition. Its been while since ive driven and Si, but ive driven the VTi recently and its a quality EG for daily driving. Great base car for future plans if you have them (FI/Engine Conversion), but just as great if your planning on just using it as a daily.

I'd have to say the SI. VTI is not all that quick even though it is VTEC. Quote me if i'm wrong but the SI pumps out more power? Have been in friends SI with full exhaust, and another friends with a VTI with a K&N airfilter. VTI definitely roars with VTEC but my opinion, SI definitely feels like a quicker and a better ride.

Why not hold the money for a couple of months and save up for a EK4?

Or how about a yellow EG civic with a B16A, definitely better than than the SI or VTI Car is from Gold Coast has 5 months rego, rebuit engine, more details on the link. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....sPageName=WDVW

i know Si and Vti r 2 very similar cars. but from wat i have seen.. the Vti feels so light.. just wondering if it's normal... coz if it is.. i think i would prefer the driving feel of the Si more....?

shall me battle? vti vs si?

yeah man BOTH are sweet lil rides, i agree, get the better condition on and do well thought out and simple mods

if it feels light its probably just that car... all cars feel different the next si you drive may feel light to drive to depends on the suspension set up tires etc. they have exactly the same set up/ same chassis just a different engine. i honestly would prefer the si over a vti, i know the vti has vtec but its old mans vtec.

yea but still, 96kw from a SINGLE cam 1.6 is pretty dam impressive dude

I think weq's VTI did about 66kwatw off boost then 127 or so at 8psi with a basic turbo kit.

Dont know if the ZC's would respond as well if you are thinking about taking the engine further.. Maybe someone knows?

I like the vti's theyre good cars and sunroofs rock

[bennjamin]

the d16a8 is a very nice little engine and you can do alot of small time mods to increase response ( I/H/E + light flywheel etc) The ZC/d16a8 is known to repsond quite abit better to a turbo setup. Si's are great daily drivers and quite good for the bang for buck. You can keep up with inexperienced EK4 drivers nps

I remember seeing the vti had 1nm more torque than the d16a8 ( 144vs145nm ). Still - equal drivers will see the d16a8 pull away from the vti on all accounts it seems ON THE TRACK

BUT the vti is a newer car and the interior is slightly better.

its not really worth arguing about which motor has more torque they both got none lol. i'd get whatever was in the best condition and also the price being asked.
