I have a 98 hatch. Other than the slow-*** stock engine (easily remedied with a b-series swap) I love it.

I love my ek, you have to swap the motor out though and it is wise to build the thing before you install it and save your self a ton of headaches. Personally I have a b16a with built bottom end and all kinds of goodies but if I were going to do it again I would go with more torque b18 probably K series.
