eh I dont think swaps are for suckers...I plan on getting a b18c1 in a while (prob a long while) and it just has way more potential than the d16...in any way.

yeah it costs a lot more...but Im gettin over 80K miles soon and I dont feel like risking the chance of wreckin stuff w/ the turbo (yes I know I can compression check and change whatever...but I want the torque the 1.8 has (a whole 134ft/lbs (hey, better than 115ft/lbs)).

If I were you...Id get a 5th gen hatch (dx or Si) and then swap in a b18c1. (Si will cost more...but it has pwr windows and moon roof...probably pwr locks too...Ive never been in one)
(as long as the motor runs decent, miles are not a factor...as long as you plan on swapping eventually...then later on after you save up some more bling...get a turbo...just dont buy ANYTHING for the motor prior...like intake or header...just run it stock until youre boostin...)

(some will tell ya go 5th gen hatch and a h22...but IMO the cost of gettin that into the hatch is too much...torque is crazy high though...

And that...is my opinion...
