Need an opinion.
Which one and why? I am considering either route and don't want to waste time/money.

Re: Need an opinion. (ricancivicsi8)
Don't get me wrong, I love hatch's, I originally wanted one, but there's just something about that targa, and power everthing, no rear seats to remove...etc. But I do own the coupe right now. i can either do the swap into the coupe and have fun, or do the swap and later pull it out for a del sol without a motor, or just skip it and go straight to the del sol. But I wanna know, performance wise which is better between the del sol and the 96-98 coupes.

I saw a Turbo'd Prelude powered Del Sol at Nopi once. It was pretty tight.
I saw keep the Coupe. I like hatches, but I love coupes. I hope to get a swap when I get out of school.

EG/B18C.
I love the style of those years hatch. And ya can't go wrong with a GSR in it.
I saved to get a B16A2 in my EG. Thought I should save some money, so I decided on getting a B18B. Then thought what you did...don't waste time and money. Now I'm saving the last bit for a GSR. That's where I draw the line on a price for a motor swap, just cause moneys tight right now. Ok, not that tight if I'm getting a GSR swap, but you get my point.

Re: Need an opinion. (C5_ALLMOTOR)
del sol, less hassle with obd2, and less hassle giving people rides 
if u want the fun factor go with the del sol. they are so much fun to drive and own. if u want the speed go for the hatch. in actuallity (sp?) its ur choice. look at what u want and then decide. good luck

Re: Need an opinion. (fowler)
Yeah, I bought a wrecked Del Sol and drove it around for a little while before stripping it.
Verdict: thats a cool little car. I liked the targa top and the compact interior. I usually drive a 93 CX so it was a little different but fun- especially with the B16 in it
