Moving to the Dark Side. Planning on getting a Honda., Honda owners, got any advice? Options

I have no luck with any of my Celicas so far. I have played with many Celica's a 91 GT, 97 ST, and 00 GTS. Im planning on getting either an EG or EK hatch. No plans on making it fast at all, It would be a cheap and gas efficient Daily. Later on when funds are available I will get another Toyota. Most likely another 6GC and fullfil my dream of joining the V6-6GC or move to an easier platform and go V6MR2.

So whats the main difference between the EG and EK?

Im not worried about how quick the Civic will be or anything. I would do some small things here and there but its main duty is DD.

Yes, I did what IdiotStick stated minus the 8400rpm. I was at 7700 =]. Was going to 4th but put it in 2nd. BOOM my oil light went on and there it went. I said "F*** IT" drove it home which was 2-3 miles away on limp. When money pours in I will swap another 2ZZ and sell the wretched machine. Hopefully I wont loose much. I have about 5000 in the GTS and maybe 2-2.5K more for the engine. So if I manage to get 8000+ for her, ill be fine.

BTW, i don't see a point in letting the insurance know about it. They will send it to a Toyota Dealership and get the ECU scanned to see what caused it and see a nice spike to maybe 11-12K RPM.
