Default 93 hatch vs. 93 Del sol

Ok right now i have a d16z6 boosted sol nothing special just a t25 kit type thing. I have a lot of body work done to it.. meaning kind of ricey.. chrome 17's, body kit, etc. no wing though lol ... someone is trying to trade me for a 93 hatch with a b18c5 in it and its boosted with a t3/t4 turbo and it comes with a couple of other things.. but the car is kind of beat up..
So my question to you guys is what do you think i should do? I mean my del sol still looks pretty good ricey and all but I kind of want the speed and I've wanted a hatch for a little while now. I am still up in the air about the whole thing... plz let me here some of your suggestions..

I think you should keep the sol, you can always do more motor work on the d16z6 motor to push it to your goal limit. Why trade something rare for something beat up? Think of it that way. Good luck with the choice making.

Um, I think that the b18 has the wrong ecu in it.. does that make sense.. and I am not really sure how that could affect it at all.. But ya I dont know why the decision is so hard for me.. Maybe just because I built the del sol. But even if i wanted to turn around and sell the hatch I could probably get more money out of it rather than my sol

My GT30R doesn't mind the extra 350lbs my delsol weighs over a civic.

If the hatch is in good shape and the morots not stolen then is this even a serious question? Trade for sure! (well i would)

i'd look the car over really good. Also drive it and dont be afraid to give it a lil hell just to see what your getting into. There could be issues b/c i dont see many ppl willing to give up a b series hatch for a single cam del sol.... turbo or not

explain to me why somebody would go through all the trouble of taking a turbo kit off and installing everything back to NA just for winter? I see what seems to be a feed line for a turbo, but seriously that just doesnt make sense to me.

Keep the del, just get stock tails and some better rims and it probably wouldnt look half bad.

i didn't want to spit out my food so i end up throwing up through my nose.

luckily i can chew the food in my mouth and make my way to the bathroom.

I kinda dig your sol.The bodywork seems to be very clean and not just put together.If you dont mind starting all over body wise,get the EG.That EG doesnt look like sh*t,ive seen worse.I prolly would do the trade just for the c5 if its healthy and runs good.
