i can't decide which of these 2 cars to get. i found a stock 1995 black vtec lude, but with 100k, selling for $9500.
i also found a white 1993 si, with 81k, pioneer cd, racing hart 17s, ground-control adjustable springs, ignalls camber kit front and back, selling for $7800.
i really like the vtec, but it has a lot of miles on it. how does the si compare with the vtec? which of these would you get? please help!

I think that if you dont take the vtec, you will regret it later...
but i still wouldnt pay that much for it..
if you can get him down to around 8,000-8500 would be good

Take the tricked out Si and with the left over money, get a lower-mileage VTEC engine swapped into it. You end up with everything and a low-mileage engine to boot.
Either way though, stick with the VTEC. You won't be sorry.

i agree with fritz. even though you'll be missing out on the leather interior of the vtec the insurance will be much cheaper on the si. and if you put a vtec head on the si you'll have a more powerful engine and more mods already done for the same price as the stock vtec

people make the same mistake when they buy an automatic, then want to change it to standard (i did that with muh last car)

I would have to get the si if I were you and do an engine swap or swap the head.

just to be different:
i say get the Si, then swap in an Accord F22A motor and supercharge it with a Tornado intake system :D
get the cheapest one and swap in an H22A (duh!).. and you wont miss leather anyways... at least i dont :cool:
(no one cares about your interior cuz they wont see it when you're whoopin on them)

if i do get the si, where's the cheapest place to get an engine swap done? what would you say is a reasonable price to pay for it?
