whats the difference between the LX-i and SE-i models?

is the SE-i only 2-door?

are the functional (engine / intake / etc) differences?

if i pick up another donor car, not sure if it's worth payin for the SE-i model

wtf

this 3geez's thing is kinda addicting. one of the best cars i've owned, bang per buck. i'll probably end up buying a second one, instead of selling the current one. sheesh. all i need is another motor and tranny for a hot block build....

the other reason i'm thinkin about movin over to an SE-i is because i'm rakin in a measly 28 mph average with my LX carb'd model. if i'm gonna be pimpin a 3geez for a daily driver, i should set it up with fuel injection and the goods, etc etc. granted, my tires are kinda shot, but i don't think that would bring down the nominal mileage by 25% off almost 40mpg from what i've read on this board... unless thats just how the LXs are...

28mpg for city is damn good, my LX used to get around 24-30 depending on how i smahed the petel, a f/i engine will do much better and give you beter gas milage and more power, i see a f/i swap in your near future lol

In 1989 Honda brought back the SE-i trim which included cup holders, leather seats, a Honda-Bose music system, bronze-tinted glass, machined 14" alloy wheels, dual tip muffler and 4-wheel disc brakes. The SE-i was available in both coupe and sedan versions. Only three colors (http://3geez.wiki-tv.com/Colors) were offered in the sedan and coupe.

phenomena or like pizza pizza, (lil ceasars)
I have to admit I thought I made a mistake shortley after I got my 86 sedan, but after discovering this forum and driving it a while, making some improvements... the car is a blast to drive and I think I will have one around for a while.
29 mpg consistant with both city and hwy average, my commute to work is half and half. I never figured highway mileage, but I am certain it is a lot more than 29.
Weber carb, DC header, headwork... no ign mods but they are in process.

if the MPG wont be a huge difference with the FI, i'll probably end up stickin w/ the carb... i dont need a power increase, just lookin for long-term gas mileage... guess it aint worth it for the trouble of buyin another engine / intake / harness, doin the swap, modding the harness, etc etc....
