Upgrading the Em2 will probably be more expensive, but it will also be a lot rarer and cooler.

Dont ask us, do what u want.

Not really, because his other option was to theoretically swap a K20 later on. So either way he's running premium gas.

hmm so to you ventura, does teh ep seem disappointing? to me it does to a certain extent.. i like the styling.. but the motor is downgraded.. but if i i get one i was gonna swap a type-r or a type-s in it seems how the car was made for the k it should be a fairly easy swap.

Em2 all the way man. Not to many cars and it has a unique look. I almost did the same thing a few months ago. I go out to a meets frequesntly here in Nor Cal and seem plenty of DC5. Hardly anyone rock the EM2. Guess its a bastard child of the honda family. Once done up properly according to your style its endless potential. Just look at everyone on te forums here to pirece together your own style. I prefer the sleeper JDM tuner look. Some people may like a more wild, aggressive look. It all maters on your preference.
