The biggest things holding back the Si are the FWD platform and the lack of engine management.
The car was designed to be a good daily driver with good gas milage and good handling. Power is decent, but Honda did not set out to make a drag racer.
Why don't you understand S/C the Si? I think that combined with some good tires and the new Koni FSD suspension (coming soon) would lead to an fantastic daily driver that is also great at autocross and on the track. It could do pretty much anything except go really fast in a straight line.
Personally I think the Redshift S/C would be the best option for the Si, since it should add some needed low end power, and give good gains at the top too.
Really, I think once Koni, Redshift, and Hondata release their products I don't think their is much left.
btw, in case nobody else noticed the RDX and Si coupe wheel bases are the same, powertrain swap anyone?
