Default What's the better path to take with ONLY 5K?

Should I either buy an EK and then wait basically forever working at walmart to get money for suspension, rota's, + swap?
or
Buy an eg for about 2,800 and swap + cheapest skunk2's i can find much, much sooner?

i'd personally go for the EG, cuz, well i love them. but i also really like the EK hatch (unless you're talking coupe?)....it's up to you man. which one do you REALLY want? it took me about 3 years, 2 EF's, a friends EK and 2 EG's to discover my love lies with the EG cx

i don't mean to offend you....i just think its amazing how you can get into the 13's with about 6k with hatches....i don't see the reason to get a coupe over a hatch...(please tell me)

never seen angela proudfoot, or the venom civic, or the castrol civic?

I guess you can't make a coupe fast oh well...I have 243whp for nothing...dammit...why didn't I talk to this kid earlier?? x 500

how much more do you honestly think a coupe weighs than a hatch?
how much of a differance (time wise) do you honestly think that makes?
is it your understanding that we only modify our cars to Drag, or street race?
