Integra VTi-R or Prelude VTi-R?

[ind1]

About $9000 max to spend.

Which one is better and why?

I noticed a lot more attention going to the Integra's. Any reason for that?

I'm wanting to buy one of these so this would help a lot. I honestly like the shape of both cars.

Is there any advice you could possibly give me before forking out my money on either car? I'm trying my best to get some more advice before buying cars in general, but anything I should look into specifically for these?

:wave:

[WATAJK]

Teggie.... Prelude only if you can get a manual with low kms but very rare as the auto's shit themselves =)

[Wascally Wabbit]

Integra. only because it's lighter than the prelude.

[Super-DA9]

Integra. Because it's a B series, it's well balanced and it's weight isn't measured in megatons. lol

Also because the grip is INSANE mang!

[TheSaint]

i test drove the BB6 VTIR and the pre-facelift Dc2 VTIR when i bought my car

the BB6 was a really nice cruiser and i think being a bit older now i would choose it over the integra
BUT when i bought my car i wanted a more aggressive/sports car and the integra was it

Integra
vtec was much more interesting, the engine was more responsive and the car felt more fluid to drive
long hatch/fastback is like having a JDM ute when u put the back seats down =D

Prelude
h22 has more torque but vtec isnt as much fun, engine not as responsive, car felt heavier
not as useful boot but you dont have to worry about rear passengers hitting their heads on the roof lol
i found the turn in to be overall a bit sharper stock for stock - the prelude handled a little better/sharper - but overall did not feel as good

i think if you are new to the scene go for the integra - if you have had a few cars now - get the prelude

either way - test drive both (try get stock ones) and see which u like more

I CAN tell you not to get a ATTS VTIR prelude - the electronic LSD doesnt work so well

EDIT - as for the poll - i cant vote on either - because they are both amazing cars
the three best bang for buck hondas around are:
- EM1 Civic VTIR
- EK Civic VTIR
- Dc2 Integra VTIR
- BB6 Prelude VTIR
and i wouldnt be able to tell you either or when it comes to choosing one because they are all amazing =)

[davidvtec]

integra has ALOT MORE aftermarket parts to offer, preludes.. not so much as the teggy. integras IMO

[pablos8]

EM1 is nice but I don't know if its bang for buck, they're still quite expensive, costs more than a teggie vti-r but they do look hawt

[TheSaint]

well my post was assuming you can get them all around the 9-11k mark

em1 cost a little more but are a bit rarer tho

[act_gooner]

Preludes are more common, plus a BB6 vti-r is going to be pretty rare with low k's and manual for 9k. I'm considering a switch to the lude vti-r or I'm going to save my face off for a Type R Integra. The lude has an awesome interior, especially if you can get the tanned leather.

[waix]

integra

[mugen_ctr]

go the teggy, since its more a refined sports car over the prelude, as said, a cruiser

Preludes are mostly owned by old people, or people with no intention of actually ever pushing it, so chances are, u can get a clean prelude over a teggy which mostly young guys get an thrash till smoke starts pouring outta the tail pipe, to find a integra, of the same condition, ur paying the same price as em1, so really its what u prefer in the end

Off topic slighty, from what iev seen, the prelude modified scene is dominated by lebo spec preludes, with chromies, massive tachos, leather trim seats etc etc...... only seen a few proper modded preludes go around, with jdm wheels

[act_gooner]

^^If you had a Prelude though with leather seats would you actually get rid of them for something else? I think teh leather is awesome. As for mods, people can do whatever they want, I've seen some really nice Preludes that have chromies etc.

[Super-DA9]

Prelude 4th gens remind me of a baboons ass. no offence to those who drive them it's just my opinion.. 5th gens are alriiiiight but still are much better looking then the previous generation.

Integra's and Civics are much more "traditional honda" if you know what I'm sayin'.

i agree with this - 4th gen are ugly
the em1/ek4 and dc2 are much more sport orientated cars

although there is a nice prelude modding scene - its just hidden - like the D modding scene lol

http://www.preludeaustralia.com/forum/index.php

theres a few nice USDM bb6 as well

[MWAKU]

lol at some of the replies, omg it is hot because it has jdm wheels yo. and preludes i find are driven a lot by girls too, like a lot. every prelude 5th gen, is a girl driver, like god damn a girl bought my bb6. and i also rekon bb6s can look ok in sexspec, in a way, as its not really a race car, its more of a luxury, so to say, cruiser.

but well id go for the prelude, i miss mine badly. in a way prelude aftermarket support is weaker.. but really.... its just because replica dc2 parts are everywhere, and well imo, replica parts are rubbish. its just as hard to find some genuine quality parts for the bb6 as to the dc2, but probably dc2 be slightly more parts out there.

ive never driven a dc2 vtir, but, id only got vtir, if i had too.. ive got a dc2r right now.... and well, i would be spewing if i settled for a vtir. also, MY opinion, EM1 are fkn nugget, slow as well, they are just nice looking. ive been in an EG b18c2.. not as quick as i thought it would be.. still slightly nuggety, the bb6 is a freaking nugget aswell.... if u are going for speed. they are all slow LOLLLLLLLLLLLL keeping in mind, all cars can speed.

mwaku niceeeee prelude i had a 5th gen tiptronic before my dc2 though i loved it looked sleek as

[DC2-PWR]

DC2 VTiR allllllllllll the waaaaaaaaaaaay :)

[Super-DA9]

Yeah dig the VTi-R!! It's not as great as the ITR but it's like a more affordable "baby" version that can be easily spec'd up to be as good/better :)

To be honest though, I wish I had been able to go all the way and get an ITR, but it was just too much for me. :(

^^ same here man, but I always looked at other options though. I've heard a few people making more power in the DC2 VTiR than DC2R's, always wonderd how... its with mods :p. Then that made me smile and i bought a vtir- shit story,

now im stuck here buying mods and wasting cash. but hey its a good experaince, fun little car. It's like practice with this car, keeping it clean etc~ then maybe after all this i'll deserve a DC2R one day.

good luck OP,

fastest honda i have been in was a modded up Del Sol with JDM ITR B18c in it
that thing was a weapon

the modding scene for BB6 is strong in the states - best thing you can do to them is get a skunk2 intake manifold - really opens the vtec sound up
skunk2 cams, 5zigen 4-2-1 header and mugen catback with a good intake and you will have some fun with the bb6 - it turns in sharp but its heavy and lumberson
DONT get the ATTS version - electronic LSD is fail

i think a good entry into the honda world is the Dc2 VTIR - its not overally expensive - u get to learn all about vtec - and they are cheap and easy to mod =D

[sultanaz]

i prefer prelude, i think teggy is like a go kart with power where as prelude has more for what u pay for. thats MY opinion, i own a 5th gen and as long as u keep it clean its hot as !

[YBJLS4]

a lot of people are just shedding one minded point of views, they own a dc2 but have never driven or been in a prelude so keep that in mind. its all up to what you want, wnat a nicer daily? go for the prelude, better options, interior, dash and stuff. dc2 if you want some quicker, but not necisaarily better looking. and who cares about power, this guy sounds like a budget daily dude, why is he going to race on sydney roads, why does he need the power anyway. to make a dc2 look nice it will require as much effort to make the prelude look good.

stock for stock they are both pretty bland and nothing special.. only till they're both dumped with nice wheels then you consider then to be aethetically pleasing. the vtir, needs the OEM type R lip (if facelift) and then ur pretty much set, where the prelude, opting to find and install the OEM lip kit (looks best will the whole kit) is a mission and will cost you nearly up to 1.5k for brand new parts and painting, and then you wil need fogs, then the look will be more complete.

[TheSaint]

the oem lip kit on the bb6 is pure sex + mugen ducktail ... drool

http://i708.photobucket.com/albums/ww90/Salazar_777/Lude/2.jpg

on the other hand ... prefacelift teg with ITR front lip = drool

http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-1408381693991_1901_13317808

i actually like both cars in stock form ... but than again i get a woody from almost any stock honda haha

cant say im a big fan of 'dumped big wheels etc'

but i have honestly driven both and would have to say it was a VERY hard decision for me

if i had to make it again now that im a bit older and have already owned the integra - i would get the prelude, more refined, more of a challenge to mod, and not as many running around that arnt old ladies dailies lol

but when i was 18 it would be the teg all the way

[Super-DA9]

I've been in both. didn't enjoy the prelude very much. maybe it's because the girl who owned it was a real bitch. (no, not an ex) maybe thats the real reason I'm "steered" away from preludes...?

:S???

[newpaddy3]

Go for the teg. It's built for performance, the prelude wasn't.

I've seen videos of vtec club where they compare all sorts of vtec cars, even nissans and stuff with vtec engines.

And they are not a big fan of the prelude in terms of corners and responsiveness.

[MWAKU]

not everything is about ****ing speed. jesus ****. if u want speed why are even buying a honda? idiots

same can be said by, prelude was made for more for comfort-ability, the integra isn't. at the end of the day the OP needs to go test drive both and see which one he prefers for his needs.

and the dc2 vtir isnt BUILT for performance... it aint that fast mate.

and even saying that, have u seen a prelude vtir vs a integra vtir? have you? or seen em against each other around the track? seriously have you? instead of just spitting out stuff you read online.

and btw thesaint, :P thats the type S front lip with the stock sides and rear apron color coded :P :P

AND, also to add my perspective in exterior looks, i believe that the eye finds what is tasteful and what isnt by "difference". in saying that, you see a lot of dc2s nicely done, but, rarely and nice preludes, and when you do... its more exciting. so a nicely done prelude vtir can be a lot more pleasing to the eye of the beholder.. especially since the OP likes both shapes and isn't biased.

No shit sherlock.

I was just saying that a DC2 feels a lot more lighter and more nimble and zippy than a prelude, so if you're looking for something that can be a daily driver yet still put a smile on your face get a dc2.

And as stated previously in my post above yours, I did say that I had watched "VTEC Club" by Best Motoring.

It's a show in Japan, if you can imagine Fifth Gear but Japanese and focussed on Honda VTEC engines where they review a car's performance at Tsubaka Circuit, they even review tuned cars by Spoon, HKS, ect.

They have always responded more favourably towards Integras than Preludes.

If Preludes are so great then why don't more tuning companies focus on them than Integras?

Anyways, if you want to get from point A to point B then get a Prelude, if you want to put a smile on your dail then get a DC2.

And just for all those Prelude owners, wrong choice. KIDDING lol

They're pretty decent cars, if you like cruisy relaxed driving get one of them.

[Super-DA9]

lolololololololololololololol :P

so much anger in this thread now.

BEST MOTORING IS AWESOME! :D

[newpaddy3]

He's just trying to defend his Prelude, he thinks everyone is having a go at him.

Each car was designed for different purposes, so there is no use saying one is better than the other.

[andy_dc2]

^^^ Agreed. At the end of the day, it really depends what you want out of your car. But i'd have to also say go for DC2 vti-r =p Very nice looking car with good performance for everyday driving.

[MWAKU]

HE HE HE my prelude lol i got a dc2r right now dum ass. haha

and u totally mised my point, i dont see why you keep bringing up this performance thing with the lude, and how its not chosen this that. yea i know right? i know its slow? im saying its a more comfortable ride, if thats what your looking for, and is still zippy. and the dc2 vtir aint even that quick to be "always preferred over for performance". and lol if they are choosing dc2 vtirs for performance in that show.... but ofcourse dc2r mate.

[newpaddy3]

Hahaha okay than.

Well there is no disputing that the Prelude is heavier, but it makes up for it in displacement.

I never said the Prelude was slow. They are both nice cars, but like I said before, they were both designed for different purposes in mind.

If you are wanting to go down the path of modifying your car, I would suggest a DC2 because there are more parts associated with it resulting in cheaper parts.

If you plan on carrying more than one person go for the Prelude unless your fiends are midgets or childen.

Preludes would also attract less atention from the police as they are not particularly identified within the "hooning" scene.

If you do a lot of highway driving go for the Prelude because the higher displacement results in more torque which allows the car to sustain the same speed at a lower displacement but at lower revs

If you like the easy parking that comes with small cars go for the DC2.

If you like impressing chicks with performance affiliated cars go for the DC2.

If you like fuel economy go for the Prelude :P

[MWAKU]

If you like impressing chicks with performance affiliated cars go for the DC2.
Nope. Every girl has said my prelude was much better then my integra, they saw it as more sleek and sexier :) but i guess my lude was more modified compared to my current

If you like fuel economy go for the Prelude :P not sure, my dc2r is pretty much the same in terms of fuel economy with the prelude. but ive seen guys with ludes get 9L/100km.


Preludes would also attract less atention from the police as they are not particularly identified within the "hooning" scene its more terms of how loud ur car is that attracts cops. my civic had a loud zorst, pulled over a few times. my prelude, dumped on the ground/illegal hieght, never got pulled over. my dc2r quiet exhaust, never been pulled over. my mates black echo with a cannon, pulled over numerous times, a long with his old dc2 vtir with a cannon with red wall tyres, bought the car, pulled over 3 times in 2 weeks.

I was implying that you would want to use the revs more in the DC2

Yes, refining my statement I would have to agree that the presentation of your car would have more of an effect.

I seriously thought about buying a Prelude, so I don't have any problem with them

[migoreng]

the oem lip kit on the bb6 is pure sex + mugen ducktail ... drool


That's a Prelude Type S btw which is where I got my inspiration from. :P Doesn't look full aggressive and doesn't look too plain, it's just right...Imo a Prelude is a more stylish car and has all nice bits and pieces like sunroof, climate control, leather, more interior space, nice looking interior, cruise control ;)

:) Lots of people say my car needs to be more low but it's not practical for me...I do agree that an inch lower or so would definately look hot but my exhaust system is already like 11-12cm off the ground lol...

EPIC LOL

first of all .. the h22a is alot more of a challenge to mod than a dc2 - the amount of parts out there is pretty much the same - but you will need to do alot more research for the h22a and get pretty clued up on the running of the engine
which - for most people on here is the whole fun part of modding - anyone can slap I/H/E on a B18c5 and have a fun car - but it takes more skill and understanding and more tracking down of which parts are better etc with the prelude

and second of all ... chicks hate Dc2 ... full stop lol
they all say they are ugly as hell ... they all MUCH prefer the prelude!!

[MWAKU]

haha i know right? its probably the reason why i see so many chicks driving preludes these days, and also dc5s, rather then dc2/dc4s.

[Super-DA9]

I couldn't give a damn what a bunch of chicks think of my ride because I like it, and it's MY car so their opinions don't mean jack. and it should be the same for everyone else too.

Ahhhh.... WTF you on about..?

Did you read the vent thread and get confused because they were talking about lancers and chose the wrong thread to reply in...?

I was giving him thumbsup because he didn't give a shit what other people think of his car, he does the mods for himself and no one else.

[MWAKU]

I believe that to a certain degree that everyone is conscience of what other people think of there cars. For a majority of people, its the reason why they mod externally there cars, because they want to be seen driving a nice car, nt some average joe stock or ugly piece of shit. Like seriously, who wants seen driving an ugly box? Yeah maybe a few of you yea yea, but seriosuly, i know there are people out there with no care about what other people tihnk about there cars, and tend not be open to critizim, as they dont care, its there car they do what they want... and most of the time, those cars are the piece of shit rice box.

I honestly care what people think about my car, i want to be seen driving a nice clean car. Not some dirty rat box? And if chicks like my car, its a plus.

And chicks dont usualy drive riced up boxes.. i dont know what chicks u know, but they are generally into new small cars, like yaris, jazz, corollas. like comon seriosuly, girls like riced up lancers? and suzuki swifts? bro do you go out much? or have any girl mates? :S

i dont personally know any girl mate that drives a ****ing rice box....


i dont see whats so funny about thesaints post?

LOL @ mod your car cause there is an abudance of parts for it, so pick dc2

then you say its about passion..

passion is what thesaint is saying, if you have a car, and ur passionate about it, you dont care how readily avaiable aftermarket parts are there for you car. beause at the end of the day, you can build both cars to be monsters, and parts are there if you look hard enough, and find em.

NOT TO OFFEND PRELUDE owners, but **** a lot are tight arses. they always look for parts, and say shit, i want this that, and when the part comes for sale, no one buys.

For example, everyone wants the mugen front bar, it was for sale for months, i saw it when i did and bugged the **** and bought it. OEM rear lip and mugen side skirts for sale, pretty ****ing rare to find for the prelude, and every **** wants em, the guy was selling it for nearly 2 months before i came and bought it.... lol. which is probably why you dont see many nice preludes... :|

[Super-DA9]

OUCH dude. Sorry I opened my mouth... :( I'm not much of a keyboard warrior, but to answer your question yes I do have friends that are girls and I do go out, but I guess the scene must be different here than it is where you are as you can't go for a drive without seeing chicks in a lancer on chromies or something similar. Didn't mean any offence... Sorry.

[MWAKU]

LMAO dude relax dont get offended. i just like to debate LOL

but probably ACT different to NSW

yeah i do see the occasional rice up shit box by driven by a girl... but never driven by a GLAM chicks, always by some ugly bitch. hehehehehehe

i honestly dont give a toss what other ppl think of my car ... its for me and no other tool

go have a look at my build thread - gutless and its not the best looking - but i love it to hell and back

juss talking to my missus girlfreinds when we all went and looked at BB6, EG + Dc2 - i bought the Dc2 but it was the car they least liked - BB6 being the one they most liked
but hey i dont care - was juss chiming in on what other ppl wer saying lol

OUCH dude. Sorry I opened my mouth... :( I'm not much of a keyboard warrior, but to answer your question yes I do have friends that are girls and I do go out, but I guess the scene must be different here than it is where you are as you can't go for a drive without seeing chicks in a lancer on chromies or something similar. Didn't mean any offence... Sorry.

aarrrggg YEEESSS - chicks with gay lancers everywhere here too!!!
altezza lights, a canon and a playboy sticker and they think they are ready to go into space
bloody bogans lol

I believe that to a certain degree that everyone is conscience of what other people think of there cars. For a majority of people, its the reason why they mod externally there cars, because they want to be seen driving a nice car, nt some average joe stock or ugly piece of shit. Like seriously, who wants seen driving an ugly box? Yeah maybe a few of you yea yea, but seriosuly, i know there are people out there with no care about what other people tihnk about there cars, and tend not be open to critizim, as they dont care, its there car they do what they want... and most of the time, those cars are the piece of shit rice box.

I honestly care what people think about my car, i want to be seen driving a nice clean car. Not some dirty rat box? And if chicks like my car, its a plus.

And chicks dont usualy drive riced up boxes.. i dont know what chicks u know, but they are generally into new small cars, like yaris, jazz, corollas. like comon seriosuly, girls like riced up lancers? and suzuki swifts? bro do you go out much? or have any girl mates? :S

i dont personally know any girl mate that drives a ****ing rice box....


i dont see whats so funny about thesaints post?

LOL @ mod your car cause there is an abudance of parts for it, so pick dc2

then you say its about passion..

passion is what thesaint is saying, if you have a car, and ur passionate about it, you dont care how readily avaiable aftermarket parts are there for you car. beause at the end of the day, you can build both cars to be monsters, and parts are there if you look hard enough, and find em.

NOT TO OFFEND PRELUDE owners, but **** a lot are tight arses. they always look for parts, and say shit, i want this that, and when the part comes for sale, no one buys.

For example, everyone wants the mugen front bar, it was for sale for months, i saw it when i did and bugged the **** and bought it. OEM rear lip and mugen side skirts for sale, pretty ****ing rare to find for the prelude, and every **** wants em, the guy was selling it for nearly 2 months before i came and bought it.... lol. which is probably why you dont see many nice preludes... :|

everything about this post is correct except the part about the chicks ... the town i live in is full of ricer hero bogan girls =$

YES! its only them asian babes with parents that have a decent ammount of cash that end up buying the lil swifts jazz etc. cuz its so kewwwwte!

ROFL that would be so me!when i got a lude i wanted this n that n this n that but i never ended up getting it, and then i sold it haha

[newpaddy3]

Pretty much described OzHonda in general with the tight arse comment.

They want all sorts of things but don't want to spend more than $100.

Car build looks good TheSaint, have you ever thought about getting a Thule roof rack or something?

In the end you should just get a car that makes you happy.

Other people's opinions don't matter if you're having fun.

Soo really at the end of the day it comes down to personal preference regarding appearance, power, handling and so forth.. Personally at one point i had to make a decision about choosing either one of these cars as they both were a interest to me at the time..
Now somehow i ended up with a Nissan 300zx? Dont ask why... it was just a car dad offered to me for cheap.. and now its nearly on the road and my dad has got a prelude vti-r! one of the cars i wanted originally.. so he made the decision for me lol. Talking to one of the guys at his mechanic shop and said his mate was driving a vti-r lude on the highway.. and it just kept going even when reaching high speeds, so to the people saying h22a engines cannot get good power gains and the dc2 is more preferred is wrong.. To be honest, the h22a isn't just a bottom of the line average motor, it was the performance engine for the prelude.. and just happened to have other extras with luxury and styling. Hence why i think its the better of the two.. but i wouldnt mind either of them, their both honda! :P.

yeap, an thats the end of that, no matter what the op chooses, each has pro an cons, so really weigh up the options an go from there, this thread is like comparing apples an oranges, theres no ending to it....

theres only a handful of ppl on ozhonda who actaully fork out $$$$ for most of us, we cant justify spending heaps on parts

well both cars are capable of high speed runs the Dc2 will run out of steam before the BB6 - but its only a matter of 20km/h or so over the 200 mark that will be the difference - but you will NEVER safely achieve these speeds on the road anyhow
although both hold higher speeds alot better than the EG/EK

simple fact is -
if you are a beginner and looking to break into the honda sports car scene and start to begin and learn about engines/modding and play with VTEC - get the DC2
if you are looking for a more advanced project or more of a challenge, have already owned a few cars, have mechanical experience and are willing to do some research - get the BB6
if you are going for looks and comfort get the BB6
if you want the functionality of almost having a ute with the Dc2 being a fast back - get the Dc2

but really - go test drive both and make up ur own mind - both cars are relatively different in stock form

OUCH dude. Sorry I opened my mouth... :( I'm not much of a keyboard warrior, but to answer your question yes I do have friends that are girls and I do go out, but I guess the scene must be different here than it is where you are as you can't go for a drive without seeing chicks in a lancer on chromies or something similar.

Its always the gangas driving those cars though. Most of the girls I know couldn't give a rats ass about cars, but my girlfriend and I drove past a yellow dc2r yesterday and I was like wow thats rare and she was like "its ugly your Integra is way nicer"... I think because the Vti-r's and Gsi's have less of the racing parts on them girls prefer them? But yeah, most girls I know don't care but I have one chick friend who is driving an 06 turbo liberty and another one who is saving for a supra lol. Maybe things are different on your side of town.

[mugen_ctr]

girls dont go after boy racers, only rich boys who drive mercs, bmws, audi's etc etc... lol

Real men don't have to prove anything to anyone.

Boy racers are stupid **** wits.

Its not about proving anything, I was joking..

bb6 from a mature seller

be hard to find a nice vtir these days

if you want the teg save some more and get a typr r so you can see what a honda integra is

[v-tec power]

id say integra as like already mentioned its a lighter car more exciting 2 drive handles a thrashing better than the prelude , u can find lots of mods for the integra 2 and overall its a car that performs up 2 expectations.

[defect]

have the best of both worlds
h2b integra

[schonda]

Why not an accord euro? Classy + power. Plus it can attract a whole range of girls (not limitted to only high school girls with the prelude or 1st year uni students with integra hahaha)

oh yeah and euro is faster than stock prelude or integra on straights at the least.

[act_gooner]

Because the cheaper Euros are more in the range of the dc2r. Dc2r>>>>Euro.

[newpaddy3]

IMO this thread has been concluded, I'm sure the OP has got his answer by now, is there really a need to keep bumping it?

Yes I do see the irony of my post.
