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 say we get some 3g's up where you are and show them whats boss

lol, your gonna need more than an "engine swap" (no one will belive you, unless they research which high schoolers dont do) to impress ppl at my school, your gonna need a kit and rims lol.

I hate my school....

sounds like you're wanting to get rid of it for all the wrong reasons. other people dont think its cool...so you wanna get rid of it????PLEASE, seriously, there is more out there than what the other people at your HIGH SCHOOL think. you say they don;t research anything and yet you want to impress them......get some new friends and stay with the celica for a DD, if you want power get an old chevy v8 muscle car, those are CHEAP and easy to find parts for..........seriously, be original, and don't do things because other people think its cool, do it because YOU think it's cool. BUT if you well it and get something else do it because its a better vehicle, not because your buddys want you too. I have a friend with a boosted 240sx that breaks all the time. he wants me to get one when my car has had normal probs with it and i get better milege, and it still turns heads because i dont have big dumb chrome wheels like everyone else in my town
