- where do you live?
- does it snow?
- auto theft problem?
- garage the vehicle?

i don't know what else. need more info. can't really answer this for you. i'd keep the civic, unless i can sell it for more than it's worth.

I'm from Ohio as well, it's hard to come by a clean Si sometimes...but on the other hand, I don't think they're that great compared to a swapped ek. I would flip it and get a good base to start from.

seems nice dude. why would you want to sell it? i'd keep it! if you want a type-s, that's different.

although, if it snows, i'd just save my money and buy a 4wd car. maybe something like a subaru. nothing nice, or new, just something that i wouldn't mind getting stuck in the middle of the road.

The RSX has a better engine with the K20, however it has a FAR inferior suspension. Have you ever noticed why nobody around here wants to buy any of the RSXs for sale?

The best solution would be to swap a K20 into your car. Then you get a smaller, lighter car with a much better suspension.

By the way if you really want a different car then I would get a Type R or a GSR instead.
