What are the usual going prices for an Integra 92ish+ bodystyle, the 94+ bodystyle???
I'm thinking about swaying to the darkside and am not 100% sure what I should be looking for in integras??? Rs, GS, GSR, LS, type-R, etc!? What are the differences in the models???
I want pwr windows, locks, sunroof, a/c (If i can get it), I want some power with it too...?!
Which model do I have to look for w/ vtec???
Any other pointers would be appreciated... oh and no 4 doors, I'm not a fan. |

ahahah welcome to the darkside...
get a gsr, you can pick one up for about $12000-$13000 with all options. if you like spending some more flow get a ITR, you could find one for $18000-$20000.
if you want a project get an ls, then do the ls/vtec swap with all that extra cash.. |

| I've been doing some looking and 92+ tegs are like $6000ish+ for what seems to be a good one, and civics are no better. They're very expensive for what you get... :wacko: That's the only unappealing thing about them! |

Totally agree...
I am also looking for a teg
LS is your best bet it comes with all the options except for leather. |

Leather is nice... :)
What ever happened to these cars being the cheap, economical, sporty cars they were meant to be... friggin prices seem to get higher every year as they get older and degrade condition... .just something I'm noticing! :(
I think it would almost be cheaper to take over my dads Acura TL.... :unsure: |

If your looking to get the cheaper route, just get an ls-it has most of teh creautre comforts.. although it doesnt have leather seats, itr seats are a straight bolt in..
sporty yes-affordable no. i dont even want to say how much i have in my car :o |

| Unless you plan on doing an LS/Vtec swap IMO get the GSR at the very least. |
|

| Magnum |
| or you could get an RSX-S and just put integra badges on it :bigthumbup: |

90-91 engines are b18a, 130hp.
i think $6000 is a VERY good price for what you get, i would take my $6000 teg over any new sunfire, neon or accent or any of the other disposable cars that people buy for 2-3 times the price. You find a Teg that's been taken care of and it will last you a long long time.
If you are in no hurry you could go for a GSR, they're rare though and you'll have to be on the ball to get one. For a 92-93gsr you're looking at 8500 at least, and that would probably have some body damage or really high k's or something.
if you go LS you have a few options to choose from, Turbo, NA Build or Ls/Vtec. Welcome to the dark side...
btw, LS can come with leather, it's optional. |

Ya know when I was lookin for a car I considdered an Integra LS aswell.. the LS Frankenstien motor seems to have the best of both worlds.. lower end torque, and high end power..
I have no ideas on prices tho... its all depressing because I have NO money :)
Good luck!

| The problem with LS/VTEC though, is reliability. Just be aware if you go that route that the engine won't be as reliable as a full VTEC engine, but then neither is a turbocharged full VTEC engine as reliable as a stock one. As far as models go, it all depends on what you will be using it for and your budget. I know you like to autocross and drag race, are you planning to use it on the road course as well? Let us know your budget and your goals and I/we can help you further. By the way, you'll like the dark side :bigthumbup: |

ya a built LS is not gonna last as long as a stock engine, neither will turbo and neither will ls/vtec, it's just the way it goes.
I'm building my LS to about 165-170whp *hopefully*, it's the cheapest route, but the least potential, 170whp is about as much as you can get on a daily driver, and that's pushin it. With a build as agressive as mine, I'm not expecting my engine to really last any longer than another 100,000kms.
LS/VTEC is more expensive, and would be slower than a fully built LS. But of course, get some cams and bolt-ons etc for the LS/VTEC and you'll kill any LS. Alot of people blow up their LS/VTEC's though so it's gotta be done right.
Turbo would probably be the most expensive at first, but a built frankenstein might actually cost more in the end. |

you shouldn't think like that, you have to see the engine. test the compression, see the maintenance records.
a honda engine with 200,000kms could EASILY be in factory like condition if maintained well, while one with 120k could easily be in serious need of a rebuild if it hasn't been maintained. Once you start test driving different tegs, you'll see what I mean. K's mean shit, to a point of course. |

I think he is applying the law of average's, the lower KM car probably has alot more chassis left in it than the higher KM car. |
