US spec Si > JDM Si???

These are pics of the Japanese Si (looks like an Si)



^ That looks like a D17A1 but the site lists it as a 1.5 liter D15B, never heard of that one.



^ That looks like an automatic and some not-so-fancy guages



^ That looks like 15 inch tires with hubcaps and some extra doors???

While they have the Type-R, could it be that our Si could outrun a JDM Si???

It is 5DR Civic in Japan and U.K. (The 5th door is the back door like a hatch just like Mazda protege5.) You can DL the brochure from www.honda.co.jp or www.honda.co.uk. Too bad it's not released here or I would definitely get one for myself for sure. I have a coupe now cuz I don't really like Sedan but coupe is just not roomy enough for a man who is 6".=)

That's just a base Civ. Even though the land of the rising sun get's all the cars we want, the majority of the cars they sell are really small underpowered commuters for getting around the crowded streets of Tokyo.

heh that's a civic hatch, not a jazz. They have no need for the si's hp and waste of gas because of the traffic, so the hatch doesn't get anything special...... still sucks that we don't get a type-r in america tho......

I want a type r and mugen aftermarket parts!!!! waaaaaa not fair!!!!!
