Some of the K-reg si's/sri come with leccy windows, leccy sunroofs but duno if that optional. Think if you wanted abs, powersteering etc etc there was an extra charge. EXTRA ADDED WHICH IS NOT NEEDED LOL | |

My 94 L SRi doesn't have lowered suspension, doesn't have PAS and doesn't have E/W. Infact, it has nothing. :o | |

lol, I have the same arguments al the time, take the oe back box of and stick a performance model on as it restrictive, give it a decent supply of air and the 8v is very quick for a 1.4, 16v I WILL beat very easily up untill 70mph, by that time youve made youre point! As far a GSI's it will give them a fair run until about 50mph, I have often messed with these car and not beleived what I am racing, there was some lad round my area in a 16v with same mods, he kept asking for races at a number of cruises but I turned him down because the road was always wet, finally saw him out on the road a couple of weeks later and walked it, this would be over 10 miles of traffic light stop starts side by side and dual carrageway with roundabouts, next time I saw him at a cruise he wouldnt speak to me, because he had said the same usual thing 8v crap, dont underestimate the 8v!:lol: | |

Am telling you mate, my 8v with s/s supersprint de-cat pipe, full s/s powerflow system and a set of 17's.... Equal start with 16v from start then into 4th gear (longer ratio av been told) and the 16v was looking at my tail. Mean mayb previous owner had done mods and never told me. As for the GSi, like a said it was backroad, he poss didnt know it very well but a was in front at all times with him not making attempts at trying to overtake and him asking me desperately at wat was under the bonnet.. | |

Er there is no way an 8V would beat a 16V only from launch then the 16v would do ya. And as for beating a GSI no way!!!! | |

Who says 8v's are faster than 16v's, I prove you not my old 8v used to cream over 16v's... Racing an L-plate GSi round back roads also and he asked if my 8v was chipped or in neway rather modded, Also asked by a nova gte owner to pop the bonnet as I Creamed all over him up to 110mph on straight road then finally on losing my licence I was tanking a 205 gti 1.6.. Dont under estimate the power of 8v's. Now have 16v, only becasue you get that lush noise and 100times easier 2 mod engine. | |

all sri's are 1.4's, some are 16V's but the early ones are 8V's. | |

What Differences does a 1.4 sri have from a standard sri, is the suspension lower? does it have a rev counter? |
