would it be better to be an integra gsr or to buy another version for a much cheaper price then do an engine swap? Im lookin at a 94-96 integra. Just wondering what would be better to do for speed and performance?

just buy a GSR. It would be alot easier doing that then buying a lower model and swapping in a motor.

do you have a clean record, if so go integra, if not find out how much cheaper a LS would be than a GSR. its 2900 for the GSR engine/tranny/ecu. if you wanted to have taller gears for freeway driving and didnt mind searching for a GSR ecu/harness then a longblock is only 1799. wiht the savings of the LS vs. GSR and the price of insurance, the swap might pay for itself very quickly.

or you could buy a 92-95 civic hb for as cheap as $2000 and swap a b18c1 in there. you'll be a half second faster than the integra body

I like hatches but not nearly as much as integras, and I know it isnt my car but I wouldnt give up the way better styling (IMO) just for a hlaf second unless I was seriously into racing and money was at stake.

Yup GSR!!! would save alot of time rather than buying like an LS and swapping or whatever, only bad part you will be payin GSR insurance

swapping a B18C1 in place of a B18B wouldnt take much time at all.

First off, what do you mean by much cheaper? It all depends where and who you buy from. If you go to a dealership, it will be more expensive thanks to, The Fast and the Furious(supra prices went up several thousand a pop after that movie). They know all the kids want GSRs, so they'll take advantage. Look around, don't buy in a hurry, my friend did, now he's stuck with a 9,000 debt and wishing his cams had 3 lobes.

I know what you mean there, I got my teg for 7700 bucks, it was a RS very clean, I/H/E lowered/ 17's, strut bar, system, combat bumper. I turned around and sold it for 8300 which i thought was good cuz I made a bit of cash, now after those damn movies(although i do like them, well the cars in them) I cant find oen nearoly as nice for re,motely that cheap around here.
