Ok, but why? Because the other one is newer? Just fix the glitches with yours, but don't trade for a stock ek.

Did you do what I told you in your other post? Its real easy just take your time. Also are you sure its your timing belt? I think you would be better off taking it to a mechanic so he can use a timing gun and straighten out your belt situation if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

Eg hatch
Ek hatch

thats my opinion.

Opinion of HT members... does anyone ever listen to HT's opinions? hahaha, it's always the same answers. one half agrees on one thing, and the other half agree on something else and where is the tech in these threads?

I would do it in a heartbeat. Since you said your motor is having problems, I say start from a clean slate before you end up dumping too much into your current car. Just my 2 cents, you are the one in the situation...

how do you know if the guy with the EK isn't lying to you on whether his motor has problems or not? you have a very nice looking hatchback there and I would just save for a motor swap.. even if it's another d-series...
