Default Need an opinion.

Which one and why? I am considering either route and don't want to waste time/money.

Don't get me wrong, I love hatch's, I originally wanted one, but there's just something about that targa, and power everthing, no rear seats to remove...etc. But I do own the coupe right now. i can either do the swap into the coupe and have fun, or do the swap and later pull it out for a del sol without a motor, or just skip it and go straight to the del sol. But I wanna know, performance wise which is better between the del sol and the 96-98 coupes.

I saw a Turbo'd Prelude powered Del Sol at Nopi once. It was pretty tight.

I saw keep the Coupe. I like hatches, but I love coupes. I hope to get a swap when I get out of school.

EG/B18C.

I love the style of those years hatch. And ya can't go wrong with a GSR in it.

I saved to get a B16A2 in my EG. Thought I should save some money, so I decided on getting a B18B. Then thought what you did...don't waste time and money. Now I'm saving the last bit for a GSR. That's where I draw the line on a price for a motor swap, just cause moneys tight right now. Ok, not that tight if I'm getting a GSR swap, but you get my point.

I voted for the coupe with a swap. But I would go with either the 97 coupe or the hatch back .

Get the del Sol

I'm not entirely sure on what you want to do, but del Sols are always fun to own

del sol, less hassle with obd2, and less hassle giving people rides
amen to that. the only person that u need to give a ride to is a chick anyway.
if u want the fun factor go with the del sol. they are so much fun to drive and own. if u want the speed go for the hatch. in actuallity (sp?) its ur choice. look at what u want and then decide. good luck

Yeah, I bought a wrecked Del Sol and drove it around for a little while before stripping it.
Verdict: thats a cool little car. I liked the targa top and the compact interior. I usually drive a 93 CX so it was a little different but fun- especially with the B16 in it .
