For the most part I am new to Honda, I have always been a Nissan fan the the new SI just keeps looking better and better

my question's
the Civic Type-R is far better then the DOT spec SI IMO

do you think it would be hard and/or expensive to get the DOT spec si up to TypeR specs
such as 200hp engine output
TypeR 17inch rims(cost and importing)
conversion from 5 speed to 6
body work

any ideas, and also suspension if its softer in the DOT spec SI

good luck. With it being such a new car, I highly doubt you can get the parts to even make it near a real Type R. Its not like previous generation where there was just about 10 years worth of parts that were generaly interchangeable between years. New civic is totally different from suspension to engine placement. Probably better off trying to just import the real deal than to modify a Si into a R.

The new SI keeps looking worse and worse the more I learn about it. It's almost as bad as working with the current gen hatch as far as trying to copy a CTR(almost). I'd wait at least a year, if your big on aftermarket performance, to see what can be done.
