Re: Sedan or Coupe
the sedan is only 60 lb heavier and $200 more and a 2-in longer wheel base. same performance as the coupe. resale for the sedan down the road is also higher, and you dont have to get out of your car everytime somone gets in the back seat. in my opinion its not much of a choice.

This is straight from Honda's site
Sedan:
Curb Weight (lbs., MT/AT) 2945 / NA
Weight Distribution (%, front/rear, MT) 60 / 40
$23060 Loaded
Coupe:
Curb Weight (lbs., MT/AT) 2886 / NA
Weight Distribution (%, front/rear, MT) 61 / 39
$23060 Loaded
The sedan is 59 lbs heavier. You gotta remember the coupe has huge *** doors and windows so the 2 doors weigh close to what 4 do. The sedan has better weight distribution and they cost the same. Go for the sedan and enjoy the fast car thats easier to live with.

To me the profile view of the coupe just looks strange to me. The sedan I really like though It looks perfectly proportioned, and I like the sedan tails better.

exactly! The sedan is just a better overall car. You have to agree that its more practicle, just as fast and just as much fun as the regular SI. Even if you dont like the looks.

its not smoke its oil vapor out of the valve cover breather. Its not a problem hehe.
If you drop a s/c kit on that engine and make 400hp with the stock internals I dought it would last long. 300 is closer to the average with a s/c k20

Forged pistons, shaved head (if it can be done),matching gaskets, head bolts, rings, stronger valve springs, etc...
supercharger kit ontop ,and that outta do er'
already have 2.25" full exhaust, vforce axleback, CAI (i think that the CAI gets scrapped when installing the s/c though), plus all other mods ive done
such as suspension lowering, camber kit, VIS racing carbon hood, 18"rims on 40s, etc....
for appearance id like to get a wind splitter (Fr), and a difuser for the (Rr) and im not sure what to get for side skirts but i want it clean, no rice....
just to clean the sides up some son.
NO spoiler
Still need/want:
TWM short shifter kit
Vented discs w/Hawk pads

well i can tell you now your 2.25" exhaust isnt going to cut it. I have a 3" exhaust on my car cause the 2.36" one that I had was killing the power. also why would you shave the head on a FI car you want as much metal there as possible for strength and you dont want to raise compression...
You need to do some more research before you make claims. Sorry but for now you get owned by the ultimate sleeper sedan! lol

We shal see. for now I still win and what you are doing is just talk. End of story. Dont be an E-Thug and try to talk down on what I have done. I've had a lot of blood and sweat go into my sedan and seriously, im prowd of it. Getting close to 300 hp is no small feat on a 1.7L single cam engine. If we race today I win AGAIN!
