this is a link to the performance of all 1992-1995 honda civic... read about the SI. it has a 125 hp vtech.. and the curb weight of the car is about 500 less then the cougar.... and easily with a b18 swap you can get 280hp at the crank..
there very easy to put power in..
any who.. to bad they dont look that great..
