Hi Guys I need help in choosing which car to buy... Its either between a clean 1997 Ek Hatch with 60k on the sohc vtech but 170k on the Chassis or a 1995 Ls Integra with a B16 tranny 115K but the car has a full roll cage no back seats no interior no carpet racing seats... PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION Thanks for the Comments!

A rollcage is pointless and dangerous on the street.

Get the Civic.

 

get the caged dc2 for sure

 

imo you should get the hatch

 

i would also get the hatch. it's true also a roll cage is dangerous on the street.

 

What are your plans for the car? Track or a Daily Driver? IMO they are both sweet.

 

If the cage is up to SCCA/NASA/NHRA spec, and you plan to race/drag it at the track nearly ever weekend, get the LS. If you think maybe one day you might race it, but for now you just want something fun to mess around with, get the EG.

The EG sounds far more practical for the normal person, but it will depend where your priorities are.

 

So the fact the the hatch got a lot of miles on the body isn't bad? Thanks for the help guys its gonna be a weekend frive cause the hatchies round here is a hot car

Not nessisarily. Replace all the bushings and boots and get an alignment and you'll probably be okay.

 

what is that going to do with the mileage of the ek? what he should do is check compression, oil change, spark plug, timing belt, etc.

 

I'd get the 'teg - more power, aesthetically better looking than the 96+ hatches IMO (anything looks better than them IMO). Though the roll cage is kinda scary in there - they usually cause more harm than good in street used cars.

+ the interior's all stripped out.

I'd take the civic.

He said the body. The engine only has 60k miles.

 

still have to replace all that, whos going to believe what teh seller going to say. he can say whateva he wants.

 

why is a roll cage bad on the street?

 

Go For the Hatch!! Milano red is the best and could be a good project car.

 

ek

 

the teg looks like its been in a wreck before. The front bumper's paint doesnt match, and look at the gaps by the door/sideskirt/driver side fender/etc.

 

EK hatch FTW!!!! hatchbacks rule. Cages in street cars FTL you don't need them...IMO

 

Agree with posts above, I wouldn't buy someone else's project.

Hatch ftw

Also look at the door it is sagging.

I would stay away from the integra.

 

That LS sure does look good. I'd get the Civic, I'm partial to Civics.

 

get the hatch i was gona get a gsr, but the hatches are wayyyy cooler. i got a yellow 98 dx hatch with 250,000miles and it still runs like a champ
