The engine in my 1997 EK3 Hatch has siezed the botom end
The head is turning fine, but the bottom end is solid

The engine is currently a D15z6 vetec-e (enhanced perforamnce ! Apparently !!!!) it is a Europe only model so you guys dont get it in that states

But my question is what do i put in now ???????

I have been offered -
D15z6 (55k miles) for £170
D16z6 (56K miles) and ECU for £200
B16a2 (85k miles),gearbox, ECU, Wiring harness and gear selector (the only thing missing is driveshafts they have allready been sold ) for £430 (i think i could still get this a little bit less)
and
B18C (76k miles), LSD Gearbox,ECU,Wiring harness,driveshafts and gear selector (no keys do i need them ??) for £1250

obviusly i would like the B18C but it is alot of money !!!
so i am thinking on the B16a2 or the D16z6

What do you guys recommend ?
I know they both have there pros and cons
but i cant decide and i need the car back on the road !
I use the car mainly for the road but may do the odd day at the track or strip

Cheers for any help !!
