new job, time to upgrade?

i'm getting a new job very soon that pays much more than i am getting paid right now. and i'm thinking about upgrading from the civic. as much as i love my civic, i think i'd enjoy one of the following more:

-used 2002+ civic Si ($13K-$14K-ish)

-used 2002-2004 RSX type-S ($15K-$16k-ish)

-used 2000-2001 S2000 ($18K-$20K-ish)

i love all the cars, i have driven them all. if i get the s2000, i wont be able to afford my project car AE86. what are all your opinions?

Ditch the AE86 and go with the S2000.

I guess it's really up to you.
Si vs s2000 is totally different car as you know.
If you can afford s2k, then go with that.
I am getting rid of my si for somthing else

Pros= many upgradable mods.
Cons= Ugly height stock, I am sure you are thinking about lowering ep , if you ended up getting one.

For that matter, i got progress suspension setup that you can buy




I had ep for 2 years now, not a single problem.
Car drives like day 1 and love it.
It's good car overall, good gas mileage(30 mpg), quick enough.

Just quick and simple mods will take care of stock uglyness.
