thank's for any help

thats a hard one. when i was looking for a car i wanted a GSR, but ended up with the Si and I've loved it ever since.

but since you want to put your current motor in the GSR, which is heavier, you're going to need more boost to make the same times you already had in the Si.

It's really your call, only you know what you really want. I say keep the Si, you already have it, you already own it.

 

JDM tegs are sooo sweet looking tho, good luck on the choice

 

Personally i'd much rather have the SI. But i guess im biased....

 

Hope you keep the Si because one it is alittle lighter and I personally think that there are not a lot of cars that look cleaner than a EM1. I have one and I dont think I could ever come to grips with selling it. Atleast if you sell it to your girlfriend you will still be able to drive it. Good luck with the desicion but I would hate to lose another EM1 owner.

Um.....<FONT SIZE="6">NO</FONT>

 

i don't have a 99-00 si but i love those cars thats the only car im looking to get when i get rid of my hatch **** the gsr lol

 

like said above, if your gf keeps the car u can still drive it. id say go with the gsr. love those jdm headlights (im a jdm *****)

 

if you and your gf are really in it for the long term stuff maybe the m word then yes sell it to her but not HEll NO gsr are a dime a dozen Em1's a rare item and hot at that EM1

until like 20 other leg humpers hit on her and she ends up dumping you.

 

how many Em1s do you see compared to GSRs, thats how i saw it when i made my decision.

 

hrm... that is a hard descision.

even though i own an em1 myself and i do find it beautiful in its own way, the jdm front teg is just plain sexy. but then again jdm fronts are almost getting to the point where they are played out, so its a tough call.

if it were me, i would stick with the si

 

id go with the teg shell if the body is clean and nice paint

 

this is a rather hard decision will find out whether im getting it at the begining of the year.......me and my girl are pretty serious(live together) so i will still be driving it regularly.......but there are only 2 other jdm teg's in my state and the one im looking into is so very clean.....and btw another large reason im looking to sell is cause emi(si's) seem to be a dime a dozen in my town.....

thank's for all the suggestion's keep em comin

 

i love the smoothness of the em1 specially the EBP.

i vote EM1
