Hatch cause its light as hell. I've seen a couple hatches on the Chicago Craig's List for under $1000. I'd pick on up my self but I'd rather get an EG coupe. Its kinda hard to beat a GSR for $5000 though since an engine swap alone will be around $3000 unless GSR engines are cheaper now.

well even if the motor does have a lot of miles on it, i planned on taking out a 6-7g loan spending 5gs on the car and putting the rest into the car if it doesnt already have the **** i want on it or if it does like this gsr does then ill just put it into rebuilding the motor.

I woudnt take out a loan just to fix it up. Just save up the money and pay for it.

pretty good idea, but im far too lazy to save up money. because i saved up 700 to put into the hatch but i cant take out a loan for a few months and this guy is willing to wait. anyway i spent the 700 on subs/amp. unless i have the car i wont be able to save money for it which is why i think im just going to take out a 7g loan and buy the car for 4 or 5 gs. ill pay like 170 a month, i make like 250 a week workin part time so its all good.

I would probably go with the integra. But if you do I would add some kind of color to the interior or something that will contrast with the black. There's too much black. Maybe just some colored and black seat covers at least.

ok, to clear things up, the teg is also considered a hatchback. and imo, i would take the teg considering all you'll have to do is change a few minor aesthetic pieces and probably a few mechanical parts that are damaged because the owner probably beat on it. 150k miles are fine. if anything, you could rebuild later on with some ctr pistons and head work to make it a nice little setup.

i know the teg is a hb but ppl dont rly call it a hb they call civic hb's a hb....u know the deal.

anyway, i think im conviced that the gsr is the way to go, and ill have about 2 gs to do motor work/ any cosmetic work i want to do to it.
