I know some differences and tried reading up on differences between civic si n type r. Even though idk much I must know some for people saying type r is slower than si and si is diesel. Lol funniest 2 things I read up on. Anyways for people who know. What are the differences. And is the cost diff even worth it to get the type r.

 

Are you referring to the actual cars or just the motors?

 

both are theft magnets

 

where do u live? lol and it depends what YEAR civic ur talking about...there are many years of Si and Type-R in different countries too...

 

i have a 00 si better than my 00 ex lol b16 trumps d series anyday

 

In Cali and ya basically all differences. I have a 98 dx and waiting for the motor to go but am thinking of just selling and getting a si or maybe a type r. I want the same body style as my ek but coupe or hatch idc.

 

well we don't have 96-00 civic type-r's here in america unless u get one from another country...

opposed to EX/DX/LX models, 99-00 Si's come with:
-different rims/tires
-rear sway bar
-front strut tower bar
-rear disc brakes
-B16A2 Engine
-Stiffer suspension
-different paint options
-different seats
-different cluster
-different shift ****
-front lip
-different grill
-DOHC VTEC sticker
(more i may have missed)

 

96-00 Civic Type R is illegal for use on public roads in the USA. Even if you bought one off of someone that imported one, you would never be able to register it (unless you knew someone at the DMV that would illegeally register the short JDM vin for you).

The B16B motor is also illegal for use in any US-spec car. Since the B16B was never sold in the US in any variation, it cannot be inspected. This varies from state to state, but I know CA follows this rule.

 

Oh I didn't know all that. Is there any type r's that are legal in us like diff years.

 

There are no LEGAL Civic Type Rs in the states because it was never sold in the states. Unless you got a hookup to register one.

If you're talking about Integra Type R, which is the better car IMO. Of course the years 97-01 ITRs are sold in the U.S.
