go with the bigger GSR. no replacement for displacement. Personally i wouldn't trust somebody's pre-built engine just because it could be built like s**t and they are usually beat on pretty bad.

true that right now i'm trying to get a Si harness for my hatch. If i can't find one i think i'm going to have to modify it to fit the GSR. And right now i got to order some Hasport mounts for it. Has any one ever modified there harness to fit the dohc motor? What exactly do you have to do

lose the mirrors and paint the rear wiper blade...
As for the mirrors i'm going to keep them until i get some different mirrors i don't what kind yet. and for the rear wiper i'm going to take it off and plug it

So today i got an offer from my cousin. His got a purple ek stock paint with the GSR that i want for my eg. He said that he'll trade me for my eg. but i have to give him some money on top. The car is clean body no rust a few dings but nothing major about. Think it's worth it?

this the color of the ek. same thing

I'm sensing that you are trying to achieve the look of every other car on HT, but all that stuff has been overdone some time ago so don't worry so much about being accepted or trying to fit in.

And with the "so I have this guy" and "so I got a offer" situations, it's making you sound stupid. None of the deals make sense so instead of telling us what you are planning to do, just do it. If you want to talk all day about plans move this to the build thread.

Depends on how much money your cousin wants on top.

lets see, you were already gonna get a b16 or gsr for the EG, so why spend more just to have another hatchback with a gsr in it? The extra money spent to buy the EK could go towards fixing your issues with the EG.

so i got my hasport mounts in. and i picked up a c-pillar. today i had nothing to do at work. so i decided to wet sand my driver side from the fender to the quarter panel. i polished with some heavy duty compound then when i was threw i went back with some hand glaze. big difference.

chose wisely!

i would say olive green would be a great color for the car with exception of the carbon hood....but not without the hood.also if you want the best for a cheap price, look on e-bay for eibach springs and full coilovers...they'll only run you about $90.00 usd
