The weight difference in an EG hatchback is enough to make me throw everything into it and put the coupe back to stock. Sell the coupe and take the $$$ you get from that to add more goodies to the hatch.

Can you keep both??
If so I would leave the coupe as it is, and use it as a daily driver. I would then strip the hatch and make it a full race vehicle for whatever you are into. Drag, SCCA, etc.....

That coupe looks nice.
If it were me, I'd put an cheap EX motor into the coupe and use it as a daily driver thats good on gas, but still looks great. Drop the ITR motor into the EG hatch, lighten it and use that occasionally for fun.

99+ coupe with creature comforts and newer chassis...For older, more spartan car. I have no clue why you would do that if this is your daily driver...

Re: help me decide (AzN_J_SpeC)
damn that looks like my old 99 si with turbo,lol. but guess what i got a hatch now and love it! i got my ujdm itr motor on its way from password. i liked the coupe a lot though.. i went from the coupe to two integras and i liked the integras a lot more because of the interior setup. If you had to pick between the two go with the hatch and type...if i was you id do the ex in coupe thing and the type in the hatch.. if you got the $$
