HELL NO!!! Your hatch is soooo much cleaner! Just keep urs and save for a swap. Better to have a clean hatch thats slower but turns heads, than a fast ugly hatch... But thats just my opinion.

Plus, his moldings are shaved , it needs alot of bodywork and paint. Thats money you could be putting into ur car...

Ya and anyways, b16 aint nothin special. Id choose a z6 over a b16 anytime. My homie had a tuned z6 91 hatch, and he took out alot of b16 and LS ef's. Can never underestimate hondas single cams

Dude keep your hatch. B16s are cheap these days. Or even better save a few bills and buy a GSR. Your Z6 is worth 600 or so, which will help offset cost if you're looking for more punch at the pedal

Honestly, if you turbo and tune the z6, that thing will take out any b series vtec motor on the streets. And itll be about the same price as swapping, if not cheaper.

o/p, please keep your car, who cares if it's salvage title? there's no frame damage and it looks clean. save a couple bux and swap in integra interior and a b series, or like some are saying just boost your z6

Ya but the z6 is a good engine to boost, even stock. There is a local out here that has a crx si with a completely stock z6 turbod on about 9 psi i believe and all the bolt ons, tuned and everything and hes taking out b series turbod. So like a said in a previous post... NEVER UNDERESTIMATE SINGLE CAMS!!!!

I wouldn't trade at all. It would cost more to make that white look decent than it would for you to get a B16. Plus apparently he has a clean coupe as well. So he'd have 2 clean looking cars and you'd have a super under construction beater project. And the mouldings are shaved which is gross.

Keep your current EH2, that white one is rough and B16's are a dime a dozen
