You get the nice gauge cluster, improved suspension, better rims/tires and its not a hack job like what you get by getting a regular civic and dropping a B16 into it.
Thats like saying whats so special about the Integra Type R? Just get a LS and drop a Type R motor. It still isn't the same man. The real is better and has a higher book value if you crash it by accident. Your insurance company WILL NOT pay for your B16 if it was in a regular civic lol.
