sick of celi need to move on...sry, cant do civic but integra maybe? Options

[Redline08]

Sorry to all you die-hard celi fans but i have to get rid of my celica, an ~80whp car that looks fast around my area gets me no where.

I want to sacrifice the looks of a celica and go with an integra, or del sol. The aftermarket support for those "ricers" is amazing and fairly cheap. Not to mention they are honda which in my opinion can last longer than a yota, actually its probably equal.

So i went on the hunt and found the gsr or type r integra has a bite, my friend has a 4dr gs version (gs< gsr< type r) that doesnt look fast but his $1500 turbo eats most stock v6's and v8's at my school.

Im 17 and im on a pretty tight budget, but after selling my celi (if i even can) i think i can round up $4,000-$5,000. I know i could buy an integra or del sol with this but i dont wanna jump into things without getting opinions from people who know cars.

what would u do with 4-5k if u needed an import with some looks and substantial performance? No civics either lol (ug i could never steep that low)

pros and cons of integras would also be much appreciated.

Thanks!





p.s. when i bought my celi i was 15 and i knew nothing of performance or handling, just that it ran and it wasnt a pos. Please dont flame me for disliking their performance.

cheap, fast... sounds like a dsm... keep the celica, save up a grand or two and you can buy a descent 2nd gen project car n go from there, while still having the good looking celica for a dd i got a semi built 95 tsi for my first dsm for 1500 and went from there, all in all spent 3k total to buy & mod the car, hit in the 12's and i had an 89 acclaim for a dd. imo, dont blow money into a car unless you are secure enough to do so (have another car, have alot of money) doesnt quite seem like your there yet, save your money and buy something nice that you will like, like a type r in great condition n go from there, seems like you like your teg's, but also seems like you prefer them due to their price for the performance, any serious aftermarket mods usually kills a cars reliability -or- drivability, have power, but only 2 throttle positions SUCK for normal driving and is only good at a strip
