Default my dilemma....

now that i have a job again im gonna start saving up for a car. hopefully by summer i'll have it. here's what im thinking....


plan A:
get a 94-98 integra gsr and slowly start to modify it. start off by lowering it on some decent rims and tires. then focus entirely on the engine. start with the head and then the block.

or....

plan B:
get a 94-98 integra ls and keep saving money for an eventual K swap :rick: hopefully the prices will come down somewhat by then. :uhhok: i would still drop it on some rims but then do nothing else to it.

now the k series has a lot of potential, but the b series is what im familiar with and parts are abundant and cheaper. and after seeing this vid ... i have new hope in a b series monster one day. :happysad:

dont try and recommend me another car, im dead set on either one of the two above.

go with the GSR,...or even get a LS and boost that,..when you say "start with the head and then the block",...can you afford to have downtime on the car like that? ever think about just getting the car and then buying a LS block or something and putting it on a engine stand while slowing building it?

Only the second poster and already beat me to it. Get a Late model teg with the lowest miles possible for the most reasonable price and save for something more worthwhile...your too young for a house but if your debt free, I gotta vote for the house.
