Just get yourself a nice TV instead.

That way you can play video games featuring nice cars.

But seriously, the supra. And maybe update your profile to reflect accurately what you drive.

based on price and modifications, i'd go with the Supra. clearly both need work to make the exteriors look great, and an EG hatch can look SO DAMN GOOD when done right. i've never been a fan of the MKIII Supra styling, but they can look phenomenal when done right as well.

you're clearly looking for a tuner car, and both are exactly that. but keep in mind that the EG is extremely light out of the box, and the MKIII Supra is quite heavy (~3700-lbs. depending on how close to stock it is). but b/c you're intending on using it as a daily (and not necessarily autoX/HPDE weekends), i would go with the Supra - it will be the quicker/faster street car.

Supra not b/c I own one.
That civic is over priced. To me.
Vary nice miles on the car just not worth it....
I would not buy a civic unless it was a first owner bone stock.
Or a K24 block K20 head. Or a b18c5 trubo and no rust. Witch is hard to find in a civic. but that's gets me.
You will find that B16 slow and TQ less you will need a LSV, B20, B18 or K to get power

If I was you. I was you I would buy the Supra. Drop a 1jz or 2jz.
miles on the Body of the supra ?
I won't lie to you civic and supra both brake easy. You can find a nice GSX or maybe even a WRX for that price.

P.s there's nothing worng with a civic its only rice. If you drive like a dick. A lot of my friends own civic's that run 9s all day

These will be my project car BTW guys, and to one of the first posters. I have my 335i and X3 still in the garage.

I was thinking of making the Supra with a 2jz motor.

How fast do you wanna go ?
I think the worlds fastest MKiii is not that fast. And that has a 1jz b/c the motor is lighter.

How much money do you wanna spend?

Supra cost $$$$ trust me I know lol
Civic are cheap power.

Go to supraforums.com look more into the supra befor

If the Civic EG wasnt one of my fav old school Honda's I would say Supra all the way. Here is a buddy of mines. It is clean on the inside as it is outside.

This thing is fucking great! I'm sorry but I love that. Keep in mind 3g Turbo Supra is not the best of foundations.

I am not trying to burst your bubble. Both cars are great! But, why not look into a MR2 or a 300ZX, Silvia? If I had 6k to burn I would pick up either.
