Which one should I buy?

[4bngr]

I have a choice between to cars,

This one

and this one


The silver one is a 96ex w b16, air suspension, 6,000 stereo. for 13,000
The red one is a 99 si, fully custom, for 14,000

I am kinda leanin towards the red one.
What do you think?

Here are all of the pics of the red car.

First off, the silver hatch is not an ex. Hatches never came out in that trim. Second, the body kits are loud but it is your choice and third the hatch w/ a b16 will kill that Si. IMO get the hatch.

the hatch has air suspension, and 18's so i think the si would whip its ass. Plus, i am looking for a showcar, so from the show point of view, which one would you choose.

[kidrocket]

i dunno they both have hideous body kits...

[B16EJ1]

I agree and for those prices I would'nt buy either.

[chris26969]

they are both kinda ugly cars . Get your own car and do it up from the ground up. IM in no way a fan of buying PRE souped up cars.

Well, see i ahve a 14k budget, and to build a car like that would take close to 25, so for a FIRST CAR FOR A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT i think its just fine thank you very much. I'll build my own, that is, if you wnat to give me the rest of the money. :finger:

Im in the same perdicament with buying a car, money but no idea what to do with it . Thing is , no one will respect you if you bought a souped up car. plus souping up a car you get so much out of it , seeing how everything works and knowing you did it all yourself , its just more of a self accomplishment than anything else.

Ive been working on cars since i was 8. i was installing titanium exhaust on supras by 10. I now help my dad build and tune racebikes. I think i have a pretty etensive knowledge of how things work.

92-95 Civic Hatch CX/DX/Si=3000
B18C JDM Spec R= 4500
96 Spec JDM ITR AWDB+wheels=1200
Tein suspension=950

Overall cost= 9650 give or take but still a hell of a lot more bad ass car for a hell of a lot under 14k. But then again, that's my taste and probably not the taste of a " high school student ".

I'd go with the red one, but add your own touch. New paint job, shave the handles and emblems, and probably a new front kit. Since it already has the blackwiddow I styling you should just go ahead and add the front. It's the one the silver car has. Stuff like that. Personally, I don't like hatches too much. They look too much like eggs on wheels. Go with the red.

[sageuvagony]

they kinda scared me when I first saw them... kits way too aggressive and for tha much like they said.. nah...

[chris26969]

yea those kits are definatly eye sores. If i were you id go buy a 96+ Ex and put on a street fighter 2 kit or something a little less suttle.
