B18C-swapped EM1 (12k) or DC2R (11.5k)?
Thought this would be the more appropriate sub-forum for the question, probably just need someone to relay back my thoughts tbh haha
Looking to pick up a car soon and two cars have caught my eye, in particular a 99' EM1 (Body 190, xxx kms, engine 120, xxx kms) with a J-spec B18C DC2R engine and a 00' B18C7 DC2R (200, xxx kms). Both cars do in fact have comparable mods (intake, headers, exhaust, coilovers) with the EM1 having a few extras (sway bar, short shifter, s80 w/ LSD). The asking price for the EM1 is 12k, whilst the DC2R is 11.5k.
Is the EM1 really justifiable at this price range that it's more beneficial over the DC2R in terms of performance?
Sorry in advance if I'm not asking the right questions or provided enough information, will do if needed.
