[cyclotegra]

why do you type like this??





and they sell ls integras for like 5k

Not around here they don't, I bought mine 1998 LS for $1800, there are also these in my area.

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1518547313.html, LS- $1200 OBO

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1516519325.html, LS- $1800 OBO

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1514736566.html, LS- $2800 OBO

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1514239216.html, GSR- $2300 OBO

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1511813782.html, LS SE- $1500

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1507243600.html, GSR- $3000

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/1501346840.html, LS- $2500

I can go on here, just all depends on the area. Granted they are not perfect, but they are hella cheap.

Yeah well as far as the tubo and GS-R swap go for the LS, with the money from both the LS and the b18c gs-r swap i could buy a GS-R plus a turbo.

The only real problem is I will sell my 97' Mazda Protege on craigslist for the rest of the funds to buy the LS or GS-R, so I will be without a car for however long it takes to buy a cheap GS-R on craigslist.

you should put up a wtt ad on craigslist, you'd be surprised how many people with tegs want to get out of the honda game

You really think someone would trade my 1997 Mazda Protege LX for an Acura Integra GS-R? Or even a teggy LS? I doubt it. Maybe if i payed the difference.

 

[Walter_Melon]

well maybe you would have to add cash on top but i dont think more than 7-800 if the teg is in good condition. i have a friend who traded his perfectly good 95 ls for a 97 ranger with tranny problems straight up, just because he didnt want a honda anymore. its worth a shot at least.

Why dd he not want a Honda anymore? Especially the teggy, It gets at least a 4/5 star on over 50 customer & company reviews for reliability.:???:
There is nothing to not like on the Integra from what I have researched (I research cars alot.) But then again this is from what I have read. so I guess I can't say Hondas are good.

Although, my mom's Honda Pilot is a pretty nice vehicle.

^haha no one is arguing that honda's or integra's are not good cars. i personally love them and that friend got another one after trading his away. at the time he just didnt wanna deal with worrying about it getting stolen or dumping money into his car. it's a great car, and im just suggesting that you try your luck and see what kind of offers you get

Okay, I have one more question for you sir, since you are the only one still replying. With the LS prices around my area being around 600 above my current cars value, and the GS-R's being over $1,500 more in value, (from what I see on Craigslist) should I just settle with an LS, or strive for a GS-R. Yes I am going to work on it, and either way I'd treat it like my baby, but, is it worth it to fix up and make faster an LS, or should I wait for the better platfom of a GS-R? in your opinion.

 

[Walter_Melon]

haha yeah i guess im the only other one in here. i think what it comes down to is what your goals are long term for the car. if it comes down to boost, i would go with the ls because of base price, since the amount of money you spend to build it would really come down to the quality of the parts. if i were to go all-motor, then i would start with a better platform, which in this case, is the gs-r. just my .02 though, im sure there are more knowledgeable people on this site who should chime in.

Alright, thanks! Add me to your buddy list!

guy wanted $3400 for mine, i got it for $3000. not too bad. a grip of miles, but engine runs strong

Don't forget, you could buy an ls, then instead of doing a full gsr swap, just go lsvtec. Its what I hope to do. That way instead of paying for a full B18C, you only need the head from a vtec motor.
