Got another car! (UPDATED *Pics*)
Well, my hubby and I were @ One6 today hanging out with the boys. And apparently we decided to buy Tim's 97 silver hatch. So now we've got ourselves a project car. No more hands on the 04 EX. The hatch will be getting all the love now. 
YAY!

Yeah, I think I'll bring it to the meet instead of the 7th gen. There's only one freaking annoying noise. Something about a bad bearing in the trans, but we're not even going to mess with it because we're just waiting to do a swap anyway. Don't know what swap we're going to do yet. More than likely a 1.8 type r swap.
The car has Type R seats, 15" bronze Weds wheels, slammed on custom rated Ground Controls & Koni's, 99-00 red & white tails, DC short throw (going to get rid of that), 99-00 fogs & housings molded into front bumper (going to get new bumper w/o fogs, CTR lip, duck bill rear lip, carbon fiber hood, RSR exhaust that Chris installed last night, Fluidyne radiator, etc. There's more but we'll be changing things. Chris is waxing it in the garage right now. I'll take pics later and post them.
Oh, deal was $5k or $6k w/ the Weds wheels. We took the $6k deal. All the car is really hurting for is just a swap, but that's in the works.

well it all depends really on what you want to accomplish with it...do you want to run all motor, a supercharger, or a turbo? my advice would be if you to run naturally aspirated get the b18c5 and keep the reliability and drivability of a basically stock car. you can also boost the type r motor, but with the high compression, it wont take boost as well as say a lower compression gsr motor (b18c1)...if you have any more questions about it feel free to IM me - wrestlerdude1205....ive been looking for a nice hatch like yours haha and ive researched most of the swaps etc...
