Default MAJOR DILEMMA!!! DC2 or EG????

aight biased or not I want everyones opinon.

this is what I drive:
95 gsr coupe, black on black, 115k, intake/header/test pipe, stage 1 clutch, stereo system
pretty mint, bought it from original owner 6 months/5k ago.

this is what I am buying:
EG dont know what year, SI model 185k, stock
MINT from original owner, red on black
getting a good deal

now, I've always wanted a EG but i never had the money or never could find a good one. nows my chance to own one. but what do I do? I cant keep both cars. The gsr has decent power and I like how it makes me look a little more classy/mature. I'm planning to put some nice suspension in the hatch and call it a day(no performance mods)

I'm planning to sell the GSR that way I can have extra money, I'm losing out about $1000. should I sell it as is(i/h/test pip, stage 1 clutch) or sell it stock? I kinda want the gsr seats for my hatch if I switch the seats how much devalue am I looking at?

would you personally go with the gsr or the si? or should I flip the EG out for a profit? I feel like im downgrading

if the eg is what you have always wanted then keep the hatch sell the gsr. Drop a gsr motor in the hatch with full susension and be highly satisfied.

not into racing that much anymore. just gonna lower the EG and get a cf hood, hatch, maybe some bride seats. will people think I'm gay if its stock? if I swap most likely a b16, dont ask me why I dont know

but anyways, the problem is that I'm scared im gonna regret selling the GSR since its such a nice car and I know the "civic" is like soooo much of a downgrade and im trying to be more mature.

damn such hard decisions! plus im losing money on the gsr if I sell it.

how bout keeping both cars? or will that be too expensive/trouble

if all you are going to throw on the hatch is some nice suspension, a hood, hatch and some seats, i would say keep them both... unless you are on a strict budget

I own both right now, although a lil different situation as both are turbo. The GSR is a much nicer car, and if you don't really plan to mod, then ya ur prolly gonna be upset gettin rid of it. Reason i say this is you will never have as much of a car as the gsr is stock w/o modding the SI.

Buy the EG... swap the motor from the GSR to the hatch and put your hatch motor in the GSR and sell it to recoup the money you paid for the hatch. You'll have a GSR swapped hatch for next to nothing! Muy bueno!
