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.

i think you should do what i am going to do. first just worry about the looks of the car. right now i'm focusing on making my car stand out by it's looks. front lip, spoiler, soon i will add the rear splitters, tint, new rims. than after you have paid off your car (or sooner if you can) take out another loan for a swap. personally i want to stay n/a so i want a 3sge. still has plenty of guts and it's a little less money if you go to the right place. you can get a 5th gen 3sgte for a decent price as well. personally your car stands out more than any civic and honda. the looks of our car is amazing and you don't hardly ever see them.
do what you want but i think that you will be happier with the celi in the long run.
