Default Is it time for a swap

Sorry this may be in the wrong forum, but I am torn between some things..

I have 1993 cx hatch which i bought for very cheap! it runs ok but it ihas 198,500 on it so I was thinking of getting a swap. only problem is I just go tmy motorcycle license so what do you think either buy a swap or a bike let me know, and please no "well it is up to you" I know it!!! thanks I appreciate just a very undecisive person (as you can tell)

p.s. I can also get a d15b swap and a bunch of **** for like 150$ long story brothers car got stolen blah bkha bkha thanks again

Default Re: Is it time for a swap (Honda Tech)

like you said yourself, this is kinda the wrong forum or maybe even site to post this question. i expect that honda-tech. people would most likely side with a swap, and other bike forum sites will tell you to get a bike. what are you looking for? speed? can't beat a bike for that one. all a round daily usability? a hatch is very flexible, you fold the seats down in the back and you can stuff half a college guy's apartment in there. by the way, i've always wanted a bike but i can't get myself over that whole skin covering metal (bike) or metal covering skin (debate) in case of any accident happening.

I say get a bike..VERY few cars will be able to compete with the speed and handling of a bike (First I had none..but then changed my mind). Plus..driving bikes is fun!!

you have a better chance of living with a swap than with a bike.

Get a swap now. When you get sick of a closed-air fastmobile, get a bike and try not to kill yourself .

Considering you live in NJ, why get a bike now? Get the swap now and like he said ^ save for spring time. Some bike dealers have plans that you pay monthly over the winter for the bike, then in spring when you pay it off you get it.

Well thanks guys I think I fgured out what I am doing. Since NJ has a winter I will be getting the swap and just making the hatch ok. I will then save and save and save until i have enough for a bike. I wanted a harley but realized it would take me 25,000 dollars to get one, so I figured why change the routine. If it has a motor make it a honda!!! So i was looking at some honda motorcycles not rockets. I will post some pics of my swap when I am done and My motor will be for sale soon ****1993 d15B8 sohc non-vtec. Tranny blah blah blha so I will let you know
