Which completely changes the meaning of the sentence.

the absence of the 2 from d17a2 just goes to show my point that the "k20a" they are speaking of isn't the actual k20a (integra type-r motor, 220hp), but rather the k20a3.

that doesn't really change anything at all. 130ps is equivalent to appx 130hp, or 127hp for the EX model and the only "d17a" that i can think of that makes 127hp is the d17a2. the canadian SI gets 127hp. the european civic ex gets 127hp. the japanese ferio gets 127hp...and so on. in malaysia and thailand honda decided they would up the ante, so to say, and drop in a k20a3 stock.

i already stimpulated that you were correct in your statement that it is a k20a3. The author obviously doesn't know all honda engine variants and just labeled it by there series names. He was trying to state that the asian market only got the 130ps civics when compared to the jdm, euro and US markets.
I understand the idea your trying to convey. Just saying you shouldn't take quotes out of context because that can be misleading.

Rep Power: 332 so why do we go to HASport for mounts and A/C lines again? price might be equivalent, but nothing beats OEM IMO.

I think because Thailand is the only one who does this. Way too much involved to get OEM stuff from there to here.
