Im a bit confused by what you want to do. You say that you havent much money to buy a Ek4 as you need the money for travelling, but then you are talking about throwing money at the civic you are looking at buying.
My opinion is not to get the civic and spend money on it, coilovers, grill, wheels etc. Use that money to put towards a Ek4 and the slightly higher insurance premium. Coilovers are going to be at least £500 for something pretty good, wheels several hundred with tyres, grill £30-£50 (may need painting). I think you need to take a step back and think a bit harder about what you are thinking of doing. I had a Lsi before my Civic Jordan, and I can assure you they are totally different beasts, and again from the Ek4 to the EK9. Obviously an Ek9 isnt an option at the moment.
An Ek4 will be so much quicker than the civic you are looking at in stock form. Take my advice, keep the money for the better VTi version and extra insurance premium, you wont regret it. Try and get a test drive in a VTi, and you will know what Im talking about then.
