You gotta figure the black hood, blacked out lights, wing and probably 17s instead of 18s will be on the production version. But that thing is damn good looking. you're not right. i dont think they are putting the RSX-S motor in the new Si. To my knowledge it's a K-series engine, but not the same as the type S. K20z something i believe i've heard?

K20Z1 is actually what's in the new 05 RSX-S. They bumped it up to 210hp and changed a motor mount or something, thus a new block code.

for that it'd be cheaper to just do a k20a3 swap into the 7thgen. not unless you have to have the killer new 8thgen body.

Anyone actually considering selling their civic to buy the si or any new 8thgen?

[Kadenx]

I have no civic to sell but I will be trading my solara in for one...

[nikoscivicex]

I sure as hell would!

200hp 6spd, Its deffiently a k20z. They might change the code to make it different than the RSXs code, but its the same motor. They might do something to give it better economy than the RSX but i'm pretty sure its gonna be the same basic motor.

Before i make any choices about trading in my car i'd like to see some handeling tests, lap time comparisons, i'd like to know whats been done to the suspension, and the curb weight too.

And cybernation is currently designing the k20z turbos kits

[jttegx]

i sorta like. got windows of an accord coupe design. imo, it looks like a hatchback still rather than a coupe.

but the performance if the si is amazing

[lilravingmatt]

not bad, the rear is sorta not my style.... a concept o.0...

[ragingSPAM]

K20A - JDM DC5 -R 220hp
K20A2 - JDM/UKDM CTR / RSX-S
K20A3 - civic Si/ Base RSX
K20Z1 - 2005+ RSX-S

Itll Be Way Cheaper To Put A K20 In A 7thgen.. Plus Drop A Turbo On It And You Got Ur Self A 7th Gen Beast.! Sure To Eat Up The 2006 Si.. I Think So.

K20A2 - JDM/UKDM CTR / RSX-S <-------wrong, JDM CTR has K20A

[jttegx]
