Hey guys,
please excuse my noobness as this is my 1st post:o
however i know my stuff on ludes and tegs.
I'm looking to buy one of the two but finding an intence rivalry between the two and a cant decide whether to get a:
VTi-R (94-96) Prelude (4th Gen) or a
VTi-R (93-01) Integra.

Someone please help guide me:)

Integra.
Not being biased as i tried both as i like Preludes and Integras.
I tried DC2, DC2R before i decided a DC5R, i think a DC2 handles much better then the prelude..
Better performance wise, but depends what your after..
Preludes look better in my opinion.

prelude is more of a cruiser car. its a much heavier car but is much more comfortable. depends what kind of car you are after.

Are you planning on modifying the car at all? Availability of parts is much better for the Integra.

I'd personally go the teg anyday

Im not quite sure yet, one thing for sure is some nice rims likely to be from ROH whether its lude or teg and a muffler:).

have you test drive both car? If not go for a test drive and see which one you like better in terms of how it drives.

Talking stock vs stock, the prelude would win. like said before, it is sooo much easier to mod the integra.

Had both cars and the engine/ box package is much better in the prelude, but modding is a big + for the integra if you wanna mod your car.

I have a worked prelude VTiR, with computer, engine internals and it still doesnt have the punchnesss compared to the Integra VTiR's ive driven. I dunoo why everyone says stock for stock prelude is on top cause thats just not the case. The prelude gearbox feels wayyyyy too long to get any real accelleration

LOL. ROH rims are EVIL. Stay away from them. Keep a Honda pure with proper quality Japanese parts please (hint hint, Volks, Rays, or even Mugen). If you can't afford them, then leave the stock rims be. Don't turn a good Jap car into a half breed.

Back on topic, Integra FTW. Have you noticed that the Prelude seems to have a reputation for being a hairdresser's car throughout its entire production life? And aftermarket parts availability is very poor.

Ill consider other rims but i do like the ROH styling. Yeah i realize the Prelude is often bought by people unaware of the kind of car it is and oblivious of the fact its a damn good car for the price but im focusing on the best product not the buyers of that product.

Bad thing about Preludes its hard to find a manual for one
BUT generally all of them are very high kms
Or is just me?

Yes, agreed. I dont know why but your right. Especially the 4th Gen, people must drive them absolutely everywhere, integras generally have lower Ks which is something to consider, cheers

I think its the main issue as others have said
Preludes are seen more of the Daily cruise car while integras arent..

drive them both and then make a decision

my first car and present car is a 4th gen prelude and yes it has high k's 248000 to be exact, though it is still very comfortable and drives perfectly as it should if you keep up services.

Remember and this is just what i think is that the integra fells a lot more cheap and not as of high quality as the prelude, and yes this can be due to the fact to keep down weight by my god it will wear you down.

4th gen vti-rs seem few and far between these days...
