The Si Report - 2/28 Release

Well, I went to Faulkner today and talked to my insider... no Si's today. However the truck with theirs is on the way, and should be here next week. Go figure its PA. Maybe someone out in Cali may be luckier at test driving one. However, he did tell me he'll call as soon as it gets off the truck that way I can molest it before anyone else gets there grubby paws on it. He did manage to get me the only brochure the dealership had on it.

The Yellow color is not Inca pearl as previously assumed, it is called "Euro Yello Pearl".

You can just feel the cockiness eminating from these pics...



Curb weight of the Si is 2744 lbs, 2752 w/side bags. Final drive ratio is 4.764 with compression of 9.8:1. Still no engine code, will have to wait to see the sticker for that. Well I guess next week ill have that review, unless my other Honda dealer gets it in sooner.

I'm pretty sure that the Civic SI engine is a K20 series... it's the same as the base rsx engine, just detuned.

Ah, I'm gonna check around the Bay Area, alright? As many places as I can reach... Honda of Oakland-El Cerrito-Hilltop-Berkeley-(I'll phone San Francisco cuz it's a hassle getting over there from Oakland.) Just as many places as I can walk through the door to. I'll take pictures.

Okay, over here the dealers are telling me that the release has been set back to late March to early April. But they are giving out the brochures like you see up above... I told Honda Of Oakland to contact me when it arrives... I got the same from Honda of El Cerrito about the release date.

Hey Neo. I noticed something in the brochure on the very last flap page with the specs... it talks about the headlights. (I don't have th brochure with me now sorry to say)... doesn't it say that they're colored halogen lights or something?

If all of you guys are being told April, why the hell are my local dealers (all of them) telling me late May or June. This is really starting to **** me off. I've got the money, but I'm starting to get impatient.
