currently i own this



1997 civic ek9 type r, 1.6 16v with 208bhp, lsd, superbly setup, fantastic handling, nice red recaro seats etc.

but, i fancy selling it for...



52 plate type r, ep3 jdm import, 220bhp, lsd, not sure how well setup and all the tidy recaro seats.

my car is an R reg, 88k miles, this has done 21k miles.

now, do i put my car up for sale, sell it either with the exhaust bits and wheels for £7000, or sell it standard for £6000 and sell the parts on, then add the £2000 i have in the bank, then all i need is £1500 and i have alot newer a car, with hardly any miles, which is even rarer???

i was going to sell my ek9 in january, so maybe a better time of year to sell now?

i also went to glasgow cruise tonight, and someone with an R34 skyline gtr offered to buy my plate, so i've to phone her monday

sorry for the essay, opinions?

You've had the experience from the ek9, this ep3 looks awesome + the cringeworthy "you only live once" DO IT

Go for it! If its from the same guy you got the EK9 from, surely it will be set up just as good, so you shouldnt have any problems!

JDM EP3's rule, insurance is a joke though!

I got a quote on one and it was more than twice as much as a uk one. Not like they're hard to get hold of parts for, seeing as they're all made in swindon
