Default Hatch or coupe

I can pick either between a civic hatchback thats kind of beat up with stripped interior or i can have a civic ex coupe thats pretty clean. The coupe is an auto and will need to be converted to a 5spd(already have the parts) and the hatch just needs a lot of body work but i do have a carbon hood, carbon hatch, carbon duckbill and new fenders and bumpers. The new fenders, bumpers and hood will go on either car. I will also be throwing an ls engine to either one but im still undecided on which car i want to swap it in.

Hatch. Well really, buy what you perosnally like, regardless of how many of them there are on the street. There is no need to be different.

Buy what you like, I personally don't like the feeling of having what feels like half a car, take a spin in both and see which one feels right

EVERYONE is hardcore hatch though... see this is why i didn't want to get into hondas at all... i owned an 87 RX7 Hurbo2 and a 89 honda prelude Si.... and NOBODY HAD EITHER.... AND I LOVED IT (blew those both right the hell up)

now i buy this EJ1 and EVERYONES GOT ONE!!! AND EVERYONES GOTTA HATCH..... i like the aftermarket availability but DAMN!!!

I'd post some, but I don't have a digitial cam.

My car was great for the price. There's some dings here and there, but the paint is in EXCELLENT condition (same with the motor and transmission). I'm also ridin' on stock rims (with the stock hubcap covers), with the stock ride height.

I don't know about everyone having an EJ1; not many people have them on this board... in comparison to the Hatchback.
