Default Is this a good idea?....

Ok a while back I built my friends' EK. It has 302whp and its clean and simple. Eventually he got bored of it and sold it to me for $2500 (he's a rich boy and a good friend ). I was thinking of flipping it for about $9k.

My question is should i get my EG now, which will be sitting in my garage for a couple of months till i buy and build a B16A?...Or should i just buy the motor first, stuff all the goodies in it, get some suspension, interior, exterior, etc parts, and THEN buy the hatchy and take a 3 day hiatus and put everything in it? Let me know what u guys think.

Damn, I would have NO problem driving around a 302whp EK. Care to elaborate on what mods are done to this machine?

i would keep your eyes peeled for both parts and a car. if you are like me you will probably change your mind often so maybe you dont want to buy a bunch of parts and then get a deal on a different car and change your mind. i would say get the car, then get the parts.
and if we have to, overnight parts from JAPAN

I would keep it but I love the EG and everyone knows the EK as his hatch not mines . As for the mods:
Comp Cams
AEM cam gears
Valve springs/Titanium retainers
AEM fuel rail
bigger injectors
Edelbrock Intake mani
Custom turbo mani
a huge wastegate
Hondata
