Go with the CRX, for all intents and purposes, short of the FI route the D17 is a waste of time, plus theres a bunch of cooler stuff out for the B16, but be forewarned, B series engines have never been cheap, and they're only getting more expensive now that they're not producing them anymore.

can still get a good condition b16 for 500-750 bucks... thats pretty cheap... cheaper if you buy localy and the aftermarket is the best avalible or as good as SR

if you could afford it id say the crx or EG with NA k20a.

but seriously, i would say hold off on the b16, and spend the extra grand on a b18c1.
