    ef extra?? what is that?. well anyways, i am pretty sure the Si and the Lxi are not the same. Are you talking about the Se-i??? if u are, lx-i and the Se-i are pretty much the same except some special paint outside, bigger and wider tires, twin tip exhausts, bose audio system, leather seats, cup holders, and remote channel and volume control for the radio. nothing different in the engine both are 2.0 fuel injected. BUt, the one in japan, the Si ) i guess) has a B20 ( i guess) which had a 160 hp and digital guage cluster(i guess again ) instead of our analogue ones. IF the engies are different like the Si has a B20, you got no problem with swapping that in your Lx-i cause the A20 and the B20 have the same engine mounts. despite my guesses, i hope i am right somehow . Good luck and hope you find your answers.

    b20

    i think the b20 is quite common over here..are there a lot of performance parts(bolt on) for these engines or do u just do all the basic mods to them?

    and whats the average price for a ZEX kit for an accord?
    becasue we dont even have zex over here and nos is very expensive..the jap cars are cheap though :> sept we drive on the wrong side ;>

    dotn worry man, i came from a place where ppl drive on the wrong side too (india). well, we either make or own basic mods or find performance ones. Well, the B20 is fraggin non-existant here. u gotta look out for it. i am not sure of the zex kits, but the xenon is like 900 US dollars. probably zex is kinda cheaper than that. But personally, i wont spend that much money into a body kit when i can put a lil more and make my car go reallly fast. NOS here is like 400 dollars and comes as a kit and u have everything in it. and if u really need something for that, u got parts that are of decent price too.

    jap is such a bad word. you could have just went ahead and said japanese. i'm sure you didn't mean any thing by it, but i just wanted you to know that it sounds really bad.
