4th gen vtec vs. si which would you choose?

i can't decide which of these 2 cars to get. i found a stock 1995 black vtec lude, but with 100k, selling for $9500.
i also found a white 1993 si, with 81k, pioneer cd, racing hart 17s, ground-control adjustable springs, ignalls camber kit front and back, selling for $7800.

i really like the vtec, but it has a lot of miles on it. how does the si compare with the vtec? which of these would you get? please help!

I think that if you dont take the vtec, you will regret it later...

but i still wouldnt pay that much for it..
if you can get him down to around 8,000-8500 would be good

Take the tricked out Si and with the left over money, get a lower-mileage VTEC engine swapped into it. You end up with everything and a low-mileage engine to boot.

Either way though, stick with the VTEC. You won't be sorry.

i agree with fritz. even though you'll be missing out on the leather interior of the vtec the insurance will be much cheaper on the si. and if you put a vtec head on the si you'll have a more powerful engine and more mods already done for the same price as the stock vtec

yea just whatever you do make sure you get vtec, youll be a lot happier

people make the same mistake when they buy an automatic, then want to change it to standard (i did that with muh last car)

I would have to get the si if I were you and do an engine swap or swap the head.

just to be different:

i say get the Si, then swap in an Accord F22A motor and supercharge it with a Tornado intake system




get the cheapest one and swap in an H22A (duh!).. and you wont miss leather anyways... at least i dont

(no one cares about your interior cuz they wont see it when you're whoopin on them)
