i'd go with the hatch, lighter car and it'll handle better. Forget bout the 1.8 invest in a K20 or K24

Do the hatch and build your SOHC VTEC less money and more available aftermarket parts for the hatch.

As far as a k series well the k24 is going to be over 200 pounds more weight on the front over the stock d and since the k20's are getting nuked by mishifts and over reving as a result I'd be hesitant to use one over a well tuned b
