Im lookin to buy a used car, a 99-00 Civic Si, or a acura integra GSR, i like the style of both im lookin for more power and quickness and all around car, im not gonna totally race it out just to drive and have a lil fun now and then.

neither...

96-00 civic hatch (cx or dx) and swap in a gsr (b18c1) motor

or just get the gsr...but they weigh too much imo

that's a toss up, both have the same potential pretty much. just drive both and see which tranny you like better.

well you're lookin around 150 at the wheels with those cars, a little more for the gsr, with bolt-ons. You will beat other stock si's and gsr's. you'd have a good race with a celica gts or spec-v. probably lose to a type-s, depends on the shifting by the driver. where you located in socal? I can try and find one for you.

in that case...just look for a car that is cheap and have plenty of support for aftermarket kits, i mean what's the point of gettin' a, lets say.. Type-R if you're just gonna make it heavier with kits and subs and whatnot..:yes: (don't forget the stickers ;) )

i doubt that's peak HP, i'm sure its somewhere in the midrange....which is best for the after shift..the picture of their dyno looks too "fake" but if its real then go ahead and get it
