not to mention the base only hits lift on the intake cam. it's literally a half-assed vtec.

rice(er) : they bought both on the same day......is what i ment to say. yes it was a xrs at first, but then found my moms wanted an auto, so they didnt buy right at the last minute and got the S.

if i can find one that isn't way overpriced, then i will. i wa thinking about the si, but you see a civic everywhere. how about a '95 gsr? anything wrong with them?

95' gsr is good car... obd1 is better to tune. But that's 10 years old and depending on how the previous owner(s) treated the car and how many miles it has and also the fact that it has pretty high compression engine, what octane gas was used during its lifetime and if it was abused are all negative factors.

ooo GSR. Yes, go for that... much cheaper, much easier to pep up...

Good AutoX car.
