Default Trade eg hatch for teg!? help

Okay I have a 92 civic cx hatch with the following mods..

D16z6 Engine w/ Si tranny
-Ported and polished head
-comp cam 59300 cam
-new valve job
-had the ridge taken out of block and re-honed
-6 thousands taken off the block for decking
-eagle forged rods
-low comp. vitara pistons
-micropolished crank
-balanced
-light weight flywheel
-stage 2 race clutch
-new 02 sensor
-new water pump / timing belt
-new plugs, wires, distributor, distributor cap, and button
-brand new rotors and pads in the front, and brand new drums and hardware in the rear
-arp head studs
-oil pan mod for turbo return line
-all the honda rust has been cut out and bondo'ed
-comes with a high flow fuel rail and 440cc injectors
-new tires all the way around with fresh alignment
-Carbon fiber hood
now for a list of the bad:
-it is throwing 4 cel codes (egr system, electronic air control valve, fuel injector, and electrical load detector)
-there is a pretty big rip in the drivers side seat (all other seats are spotless)
-idles high because of iacv

AND its in primer.

And some guy wants to trade me his 98 Integra gsr for it. But the catch is, his car has 218,xxx miles on the engine and mine has 500. His has a straight pipe w/ ractive muffler, aem short ram intake, and apexi vafc. Its red w/ gsr blades.

Would you trade for it? I'm still debating lol.

You spent a lot on the hatch. If that doesn't matter and you want a more comfortable, slightly newer car then go for it. I have a b20 EG and I would trade. The GSR chassis would be fun to work on too.

i would do it...of course im kinda sick of my hatch. lol and it is a gsr and not an ls. plus it almost gives me a hard on when you said "red with gsr blades"...that would be nice. and it might have bad rings or something...but hey it is a gsr...rebuild it and have fun. IMO go for it.

Now your making me want to do it lol. I still have to go pay the taxes on my hatch tomorrow first. I was hoping to finish the turbo build but oh well. It has a ractive exhaust, whatever that is. But I only seen a side view pic of the car.

Anywho, what pistons, and or rings would you go with on it? I have vitaras in my hatch but I was going for turbo with it.

Okay i'll do that. but does anyone know if you have to have insurance on a car before you pay the taxes? B/c I'm only 16 and don't have insurance and I need to get the title in my name to trade it.
