save up and extra 1 or 2 k and buy an ek4 , they look good and theirs a shitload of aftermarket parts for them as well , ej8's are alright but sohc vtec abit slow and alot of them are high kms due to their old age , but this is my 2cents its really just depends on your decidian i drive a dc2 vti-r though got it 7k wit some parts of the paint job abit faded but with a few goodies on the car
