Sounds like a descent price. Look around at pics of that year hatch. You might like what you see and decide thats what you want. Best pics I have seen are those hatchs that are championship white with a lip kit and carbon fiber hood

stock civics are pretty slow. ill admit that. so you might feel a little down at first. but why not put some money into it? civics can be decent too. check out this thread: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=594775
tons of good looking civics. i vote: dont rule out the civic yet.

This would be my advice. Why sell the car when you can swap just about any motor with little hassle and have a car twice as fast as a 'Teg. Keep in mind a DX hatch is pretty darn light.

Go for the clean EK Hatch.

You can swap in any engine that you want...

okay maybe it doesn't have power windows/locks/ac..

but that can be added on later...

moon roof - who needs em, just add to leaking problems later

i have a 98 Dx and its stock and slow. but its quick enough for just driving around as long as your not actually racing. swap in a b-series and it will kill a regular integra.

True also, I almost mentioned that.

Hey, my car is almost 10 years old (I can't believe it, I still remember the day I bought it 6 years ago) and I still haven't had a leak in the moonroof.

I would say keep the EK.. its got A LOT of potential. but if you do decide to sell it, you would definitely get your 4g's back if not more, as long as its in good condition.

dont do it
buy a 99-00
a 99 is just a year older and the prices are about the same
later down the line if u keep it wich i think u will
u will want the front end then the tail lights then the climate control then the rear hatch ahndle
it will just be easyier to buy a 99-00 to begin with

Because 96-98's are seem to be more plentiful (as far as my searching on ebay is concerned, the OP can look in the <FONT COLOR="blue">Marketplace</FONT> for more). Also, they seem to be less expensive.

if u want an integra wait for a integra.. only reason to buy another car imo is if you run into a steal of a deal.. that way when the car of your dreams comes you can sell whatever you bought, make a profit and get the car you want. no point in wasting time in a car your not too interested in since its just there and its a honda.

civics hold there price pretty well as long as u dont bang it up..
and from a b18 to a d15. your going to go crazy jumping on the freeway for sure.
