According to the model information sheet, the ETi has a 1.5l VTEC-E engine, which is more sophisticated then the old model to provide better driving and cost performance, its supposed to be tuned for economy (I'm guessing thats what the extra E stands for)
from a quick google search it seems that a lot of european countries got this model.. not sure if Australia got this model however.
The VTEC and VTEC-E set the stage for the 3 stage VTEC that combined VTEC with lean burn technology, in the D15B that was used in the EK3. http://asia.vtec.net/article/d15b/
yehh my mate had a VEi civic... only sedans have that motor... it was still a nice car... it felt like it had power but didnt really haha my VTi snaps it :P the VEi was just made for economy not really performance... u couldnt even tell when VTEC kicked in haha
