Question The Decision?

Ok you guys, I'm faced with a decision and wanted to get some opinions.

1. Save my money and get a K-series for my 01 civic EX. However, let me tell you, there are a few things wrong with my civic as it stands. I need to purchase a front and rear bumper and repaint the car, replace the taillights a a few other things.

2. Trade my car (with a ****ed up main line bearing, no a/c, broken bumpers in the front and rear) + 4k for a 2000 Civic Si with a GSR swap (60k on the motor and tranny) and all bolt ons and such, lowered and some other parts added.

All opinions are appreciated!!

It may be cheaper and an easier scenario if you go with the trade.

I dont slike the idea of driving somebodies ride as it doesnt feel right. Sure I can trade my car in for their sweet ride, but I didn't do anything myself and it's like raising a dog that was attached to somebody else.

Re: The Decision?

Save your money and go with the k series, why buy a car thats most likely has been thrashed on already. It could potentially cost you more money if you trade, if you're not quite sure how the gsr swapped car has been driven. Such as has the 60k mile engine ever been service or does it truely have only 60k miles on it. Think of it this way, why do they want to trade you for your newer ride?

I answer goes with saving your money for a k series.
