Robert, Honda will never
Robert, Honda will never offer the Type R in a coupe. Why you ask? Because Honda wanted a four door hatchback race car. That said, your wishes have been answered with the purchase of the Si. Let's go through the specifications and the numbers for same, relative to the Type R:
(1) Coupe, (2) 200 lbs lighter, as opposed to your desired 100lbs and (3) smaller in size.
The difference in MSRP price is ~$10K or using your $33K you are willing to spend $~6K. With that savings you could remove the the rear mufflers to achieve a "better sounding exhaust", and get a Hondata tune to be close to Type R WHP with plenty of $ left over to upgrade the suspension to Type R performance. Your thoughts?
