Default Bit of a dilemma?...

I am stumped and stuck between two choices, I currently have an eh2 (eg6) hatch, completely stock, and plan's to go w/a gsr swap, if I keep it. But I've come across an opportunity to trade my car for an 89 crx hf w/a b16. Your guy's opinions will help my decision, btw it'll be a daily driven car, not a track or circuit car. What yall think? worth the trade, eh2 w/a gsr swap= a bit of $$$, or do the straight trade= no $$$, except for registration, smog, etc.

5G ftw. I don't think I'd be able to stand a B16 HF for a daily.

Just remember how old an EF chassis actually is.

My vote: Neither. Buy an EK.

I would hope a thread like this is not so much of "you vote, I'll drive", but instead that maybe others will bring up reasons to think about why to buy one car or not to buy one car.
