Default What to buy? Prelude or Integra Type R

hey im trying to get into the import scene but im having difficulties in what car to buy. i have been looking at Preludes and Type Rs and have been asking people which they think would be a better car to work on...write now im interning at an import garage and am soon to take Tech classes.
My question is this: Which car do you guys think is better? (handling, in modifying, etc) for the time being i would do basic stuff like headers, intake, and exhaust but after i finish taking the tech classes and save up enough money im looking to install a turbo...any input would be gratelly appriciated

ITR if you like great handling, high insurance and high risk of theft with a high sticker price.

Prelude's are nice but they're overweight. H22 belongs in Accords or Civics.

There's no debate. There's no contest.

ITR > Prelude

if you want to boost, go with a GSR. It also beats the Prelude

Thought I own an H22-accord (JDM Prelude's engine)

I'd still pick the Type R since they engine is mod friendly
