Would you trade... Si for ek?
I'm torn between trading because I love the color of the EBP SI. However, I want something a little quicker and I've never had a turbo car, so I think I would like a change like that.
The cars...
My '99 SI is stock with the exception of being lowered and tinted slightly.
The '99 EK has b16a2 with eBay turbo kit, hondata s300 (tuned), exhaust, hondata intake manifold gasket, s2000 seats, si grille/lip/cluster/wheels, and stage 3 clutch (he is also throwing in a complete JR supercharger kit)

So by "EK" do you mean a hatch? People usually call 96-00 sedans and coupes "EKs", as well.
If you do mean a hatch, you will definitely regret it. The hatch has no options. Your EM1 has power windows, power locks, power mirrors, tweeters, power sunroof, nicer seats, 4-wheel discs, etc etc. Say goodbye to all of that if you trade.
Besides, eBay turbo kits are cheap for a reason.
EDIT: Oh, and cruise control, too.

I do love me a clean coupe. Keep working on your car, you'll feel better with the fact that you built it. Plus, you know the reliability of your car. You don't know how reliable that motor is, or it's turbo

you have to sit back and actually think for a min.. there has to be something wrong with his car if he is trying to trade you all this stuff and the hatch which has the same motor as yours and turbo'd... and yours is a stock si? I wouldn't trade chances are somethings wrong with it...

not putting any money on top. I wasn't sure about trading and then he offered to give me the supercharger kit too. So that made me feel like it wasnt that bad of a deal.
Keep in mind my SI only books at $5750 these days!

Si is worth way more, as long as it isnt a salvage title.
Super rare and always getting picked off.
I like the ek hatch, but i dont like the ebay turbo kit.

I have an EK hatch and I love my car man but I would much rather have an EPB SI. you should just take the time to turbo your car with nice quality stuff and you would love it.
