Default thinking about picking up an eg6

so previously i had an 01 prelude, and now i got the s2000, two cars that are very expensive to buy aftermarket parts for, and sometimes i see those civic hatches and i have to say i am jealous, so im thinking about buying one to screw around with on the side (mistress?) something that i can rip the interior and a/c out of and not feel too bad about it. any suggestions, ever had one before, what should i look for, is there a frame difference between the SiR and the rest? about how much would a b18 swap run me?

I have owned two. They are fun car but they are not cheap to mod. A chasis + engine swap w/ install would cost the same as a supercharger for your S. Good luck finding a clean one at a decent price.

see to me, a whole car, plus a whole engine, plus putting it in for the price of a supercharger sounds damn good. $6,000 maybe? what good websites are there?

Face duly melted.

They are hot little numbers, and the only Civic I'd go for. Hatches are just hotter period. As hot as those are though, for me the hatch king is still the GTI in just about any flavor.

and thats why I'm rebuilding the engine in my 84 GTI for the second time.. but with a turbo and 300+whp. Not bad for a 1800lb car.. I just hope it doesn't kill me
