Default Opinion on engine swaping or just buy the actual car...

Hey guys! Was wondering, what would you recommend.

To buy a stock EG GLI (Fuel Injected) and engine swap it for a EJ8 Sohc Vtec motor. (Money wise better, imo.. correct me if wrong)

OR.

Just buy a EG VTI haha..

Thanks Guys.
Much Appreciated

Will you want to do mods to the EG VTI or will you be happy with it stock? If you will be happy enough leaving it stock than get the EG VTI. If you want to do a bunch of mods then get the lower model.

I was in the same situation, but I wanted a del sol. I could have gotten the Si and swapped in a b16, or just bought a VTEC. I bought the VTEC. Part of me wants to mod it, but I am going to try and leaving it stock.
