Hi Guys !
Hope everyone`s doing well . I recently sold my 4EFTE GTTi ( td04@1.1 bar ). Now i am in the mood to switch to something else . Preferably something which has more potential and cheap parts as compared to the 4e platform . ( a forged engine was costing me an arm and a leg ) .
I have narrowed down to two cars from the list which i had . Please keep in mind that what ever i buy from the below two , it`ll be used just on the weekends . I have another Civic as my Daily Driver .
1-) Honda Civic EF Sedan with a b16A
Car is in good condition both engine + body wise . However there is a very small amount of rust on the side of the roof . Engine`s timing belt recently broke , but the owner said that he`ll get a brand new b16 head installed . Also the interior is a bit mess as well , but again the owner will be taking care of that before handing the car over to me . Rest of the car is totally stock . No after market parts etc
Now my future plans are to 1st boost the b16 on stock internals , then in 2-3 months time going with a fully forged engine . This car is costing me cheap , so i would be left with lots of $$ to spend . And Honda Parts are widely available and cheap to come by.
2-) Toyota Celica Supra with a 2jzgte Swap ( total stock )
The car is in very good condition both body + engine wise . There is no sign of rust . Its still on its original paint . Has a USDM 2jzgte swap (on stock twins) . Its equipped with 17 hollow rims + fresh tires + Autometer gauges + a nice sound system + Air Conditioning + Coilovers + R154 transmission (which is pricey) . Rest of the car is stock .
Now this car is costing me 40% more then the B16 EF Civic . But the only thing worrying me is the fuel costs + the costs of parts . ( the clutch a lons is costing something like 700$ for a 6 Puck ACT
one )
Here is my situation . If you guys can help me out in making up a decision i`ll be glad .
