take a look...what would you do

alright well im probably goin to sell my civic hatch si this spring and be getting either a 92-95 civic coupe or a 96-98 civic ex. but heres my situation.

the 92-95 coupe would more than likely come with a blown engine or one with over 200000 miles on it, i would get a b16a and then lower it wth some rota slipstreams. maybe a catback exhaust would go on too if i had money left.

or

i would be getting a 96-98 coupe ex automatic and it would have low mileage but probably would never see a mod, maybe rims and a lowering kit. but this car would be mainly stereo.

im just lookin for input on what would be the best for future use, and how bad is a car that comes with 200000 miles . thanks

Question Why are you selling your hatch Si!?

Hatch Si's are a rare find!
If I were you, I'd keep the money and the hatch and either swap the engine or get the system... or both!

I also agree to keep the hatch and pop in a new motor, but if you like the 92-95 coupe you should pop in a new motor and work it from there, don't get the auto unless speed is not your thing.

Dude so are we all... thats what your ebrake is for if you cant heel-toe... you think everyone knows how to heel toe? Why you think I just got my ebrake fixed... so when I head back to Syracuse NY I have it cause im still learning stick and cant exactly practice hills in Florida! Lol... but dont be scared, just go out late late late at night when no one is on the road ~ start the car (ebrake on obviously) setup your feet so you are right about to engage the clutch, start to back off and give it gas as soon as you feel it start letting the ebrake down while giving more gas and backing off the clutch and getting into gear. Youll be fine!
