Engine Swap ? or Sell ?

[squish85]

Hi all, I've recent gotten possesion of a 1994 EG4 GL (Carby) at a riduculously low price. Exterior wise, the paint is good with no signs of fading and only 1 50cent coin dent in the rear. Interior wise, it is good, with no cracks, rips, seats are all intact. The only problem was the overheating issue probably due to thermo stat, radiator or water pump.

At this point I was faced with 2 options.

Option 1: For Profit

Spend up to 1000 to fix up the car's overheating problem and touch up the car's exterior with some polishing and buffing, and sell the car for profit.

Thereafter, use the profit to hopefully fund more mods for my DC2 Vtir (195k kms)

Option 2: Performance

Demod and sell my DC2 vtir which has 195k kms, and use the funds to perform a B18CR conversion, disc brake conversion, and move over all the parts from my DC2.

Parts include: J's racing header, Magna Flow Cat, Mugen Twin Loop, NGK leads, Spoon air filter, Buddy Club N+ (DC2R/EG6), LCAs.
Pretty much everything a car needs.

My objective would be to be able to outperform a DC2R, or even a DC5R in aspect of handling, and straight line acceleration.


So come guys, I need some suggestions and votes !!!

Would love to... but I can't afford the K20.. and the added price of modification as well..

k20 - even more loss of funds

if your goal is to outperform a dc2r/5r id go towards engine swap in your EG
