Default talk me into buying a b16

i know.. im an indecisive pushover....... i was gonna do a simple head swap... not gonna cost me more than 200 bucks.... then i got talked into a transmision as well....... and now im buying a complete b16 set up for 1500.. and its a beautiful set up too.. the got put everything i need into it.... but im getting cold feet. i couldnt get my girlfriend to understand why i would spend the money on a new engine when my old one isnt broken.... maybe you guys can help me out in why i should do this?

$1500 is a good price. I payed $1200 for mine, but it had problems h:

I dunno. I've spent a rediculous amount of money on my car, and its still a POS. At times I wish I hadn't spent so much, but what the heck.... it keeps me mildly entertained :dunno:
