to buy or not to buy....
Ok, so I have a 96 ex. I was wondering if I should A) Buy a 99 si (my "dream" car) or B) just stick with the ex and fix it up. Just lookin for your opinions, thanks

from someone who has owned an si. just swap out your front end to 99-00, and swap in a b16a2. it would be cheaper in cost and also a lot cheaper on insurance. just my .02c

why get into a higher car payment? swap your car and dirve the hell out of it. and have fun. i almost bought an ebp Si in 2000 and didnt have a car payment on my 93 si, so i opted to swap the eg and i am much happier.

cool, thanks. Either way I want a b16. Literally half of my family works at Crower so I can get tons of free parts for it. (lucky me 
) Thanks again for the input.

why swap in a b16? go all the way and go k20! (or at least b18c) then your car will smack Si's around

Re: to buy or not to buy.... (dantastic)
I was planning on a b18c1 swap with a 10 psi turbo, but I can get more parts for a b16a2. Haha sorry guys, I would hook you up with free parts, but I can barely get em for free, pistons/valves/springs/cams/cranks arent exactly cheap. (for them to give away at least)
