Ok so this goes way back. the guy that originally owned my car has a 93 2 door coupe for sale/trade red body needs paint and quarter panels. i get all my aftermarket stuff off my car, everything! It has a d15b vtec port n polished head 60 000km on the motor chipped ecu red lines at 8500 (goin off what i remember of the top of my head)
test drove it tonight it pulls awesome! better then my cx lol....

6th gens aren't just the best looking, they're the best in general. Suspension, engine, ergonomics, aesthetics, etc etc etc.

yes, you should take that trade, and while you are at it, do you want to trade a few G's for some of my magical beans????

.. but seriously, that is not a trade that would work in your favour, you are better off keeping your car as there is absolutely no benefit to getting an older car.. unless you really like fixing rust

yea i thought about it.. ive really like the eg's for a long time though so i was sorta leaning to it but i saw the car last night and its a mess the body needs work and new paint and what not now if i could only take the motor and 99si interior out of it and put it on my car lol that would be nice.. the interior is black and looks soo good! mines grey and kinds ugly

thanks guys.. no need to get hostal on me lol thats why i asked your opinions.. i really only know about b18b and b16 motors and boost..... im still learning!

stick with the hatch!

if ur sick of it, get a sir front end conversion! they go for cheap!
EG's are nice,,, but its OLD....who cares if it has a PORT and POLISH! honda engines are already free flowing motors, dont need it.

drop a B18B into your hatch and u will be faster guranteed!
hatch's are nice!

i had vids of CRAZYIMPORTS hatch last year until too much **** gave me virus's and i had to reformat! hahahha

ITS a given,,, stick with ur hatch!
dont ever buy a modded engine unless u know for sure whats going on!
i almost bought a 96 hatch back in 2000, if i did that, whgo knwos how fast that car would of been now, especially how the sport compact scene has evolved from 5 years ago and ........NOW is falling on its face!

Not a good trade unless he's gonna throw in some money too! Why would you want to trade for an older car??

Keep your EK!!

it would be worth it if it had a better engine, like gsr or type r or something cool like that, d15b is worth like 500 bux complete :S
