I have 8g's on my pocket, should I put it as a down payment for STI or should I get b18c5 engine+turbo if 8g's will fit. what do you guys think?

 

HMM tough one.. id have to take the STi if i had the cash to back up the insurance and payments

 

If it were me I'd go N/A with the B18C5, You just don't see many clean well powered four doors.

 

I think it's your money and you should do whatever makes you happy. With the STI you're going to have a VERY much nicer car than the Civic. But on the other hand you are going to have car payments. If you decide you want to put the money in your Civic, I suggest a turbo B18C1, as that will be PLENTY fast for you, and you can get out in under 8gs easy. With the turbo C5 you might be cutting it close.

EDIT: If I were you I'd invest it.

 

Is your four door sleeper the only car you have? If you only have one car I would go for the STi and build the civic in the spare time. You will not have to worry about downtime with the motor swap and turbo.

On the other hand if you already have another daily driver then build the hell out of that car.

 

Scharged civic + STI = Nice
STI+monthly payment+insurance = pain in the ***

But i'm getting old I need a new car!
