Help me decide?

Hi. So i'm thinking of two possible purchases.

1. Honda Civic College EG3 D13B2 Hatchback.
This car has nothing in it. No air bags, no air conditioning, no central locking, no power mirrors, no power steering, no power windows, no steering wheel adjustment, no sunroof, no tachometer. The engine is carbed. The car is very basic. Light at 925kg. Quite aerodynamic as you know EG civic are.

2. Honda Civic DXi EJ2 D15B7 Coupe.
This car also has no creature comforts but the engine has fuel injection. It weighs a little more and aerodynamics are not as good. But I like the looks.

I like simple, basic cars like these. The D13B2 has it's torque at the lower revs which I like, while the D15B7 has higher torque overall but it's max torque is higher in the rev range. Also I like the bigger rod/stroke ratio of the D13b2. I might buy the coupe but swap in a D13B2. I would like to put carbs on whatever engine I end up having. Which one should I choose?
