30-35k wont get u a B-series EK man...even a stock standard EK might be tough.... itll be about nice to get a B-series EG though...

worth it or not.....that would be entirely up to u...



and Small V and Big V... u need to learn this...

Small V
- refers first generation B16A DOHC VTEC usually found in Civic/CRX EF and Integra DA
- 160bhp with 4.2 Final Drive clutch cable gearboxes
- year 1988-1991
- n like bibbyGirl mentioned..no one will put this into an EK.

Big V
- refers to second generation B16A DOHC VTEC found in Civic EG n above
- 170bhp with 4.4 Final Drive clutch pump gearboxes (*mostly)
- year 1992 onwards

* i say mostly coz theres a 4.4 FD clutch cable gearbox which is ONLY available in the 92 Integra DA... very rare and is usually the best upgrade for the Small Vs

everything else is referred to as the engine number...eg. 1.8=B18C...etc etc..

Small and Big V are only used to refer to the B16As


my advice...if u already have the money for the marriage... then buy the car...if not...get married first...then start saving for the car. the car isnt a NEED...its a want. marriage is more important...

why im saying this is coz im in the same boat as u....currently saving to get married next year and my plans to get back into VTEC had to be put on hold, if not...no money to get married later coz all money will go to monthly installments and modding the car sad.gif
