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.

personally i agree with playr. i haven't ever seen a jdm type r and i don't think i would own a teg without doing the front end conversion. but i would still rather have a 6gc over the teg. i just see way too many suped up hondas. that is one of the things that i love about our cars. its diff. i get head turns all the time in mine and i don't have any exterior mods done to it. it just looks amazing. you wouldn't ever really get that from any honda unless it is like a s2k or nsx.
ya it is slow and also even with the swap it isn't "lightning Fast" but who cares? if you want a really quick car then go drop a buttload of money for one. i don't care if my car can be smoked by a teg. mine looks better and much more original.
to me all tegs and civics all look alike. i like to stand out.

i think it depends on the driver...i get head turns all the time with my Integra

anyway, sounds like you kept your celi. but if you ever come to the Honda world (Coomer did haha) get a Teggy over the Civic for sure.
And never get a dodge SRT-4...they may be fast, but Yuck!
