Decision between Building an LS or Geting A VTiR

[2NTICN]

Ive currently got a 91 LS and i wana spend lots of money on it. Paint job, carbon here and there, rims, suspension, vtec conversion(either b16a or b18c) but i dont know if i will be wasteing all that money because of the age of the car. Do you guys reckon im better of buying like a 96 Vtir and just chucking sum rims and lowering it or should i put my money into the LS. i think when it comes to resale time, the Vtir will still be worth more with less work done to it and i wont get nearly the money back i spend on the LS.

[FR33K]

you wont get your money back modifying any car you spend your money on...

[2NTICN]

dude, that is obvious, but do you guys really a think an LS is worth the money or the Vtir has better potential and is newer looking???
or should i save and buy a Type R,lol

[ITEAZR]

dude i would rather a vtir.. if u get a vtir it would look way better than the LS.. and u can sort of make it look like a type r maybe..

[_CiVIC_]

buy the typeR man... it came standard with the power, the looks, the overall performance. You wouldn't have to modify the R and it would still turn heads :)

save and get a typeR :wave:

[seihoa]

yea get a dc2r and if u still have money modify the crap out of it =]
atleast the type r'z hold some more value = ]
or you can leave it stock with minor mods
it still would b a beast

[2NTICN]

yeh i sorta like the shape of the vtir a lil better than the type R, but i guess i could get the type r and rip off the ugly spoiler.
however the round headlights turn me off both, and thats why im a big fan of the LS, short of doing a front end conversion on the dc2

[2NTICN]

also the +94 Integras are very common, its not often you see a really sik modded LS cruising around. Is that for a reason though i guess?

[seihoa]

well if you had a type R all modded up with custom spray job everything it still will be pretty much fully sick !!!

but yea i think buyin a vtir is cheaper ...
so you could keep the rest of the money for MODS...

[seihoa]

yea man do the jdm front cut on the type r would look jst like the LS front kinda but heaps nicer too =] *drools*

[FR33K]

just slam it and put on some rims and ull get alot of attention ;)
i could never sell my LS heeheh im gonna keep it forever.. 3 years and counting

[2NTICN]

yeh im sorta in the same boat as FRR33K, once u get an LS you just dont wana let it go, however a front end conversion on a Type R would be so nice, ohhhh BADHBT, drules

[ONV73C]

The old... "if i keep saving maybe i can get the next model up"

this is my thoughts with these little dilemma's when it comes to money, cars and modding

LS + cost of modding = Price of DC2 VTIR
DC2 VTIR + cost of modding = Price of DC2R
DC2R + cost of modding = Price of DC5R
DC5R + cost of modding = Price of S2000

If you love to modify your car you can never win with the 'save up for the next model scenario' it's like a black hole for ur dollars.

What u need to do is set a budget, then ask yourself do you want to drive around in something you've spent time and money modding, or are you happy to get a relatively standard version of the next model up for the same sort of outlay. After you answer this you'll know what you want and what to do.

[fried]

if you have the money.... choose which "shell" u prefer, and work that car. seeing as u are going to be going b series build either way, then just choose ur shell.

in my opinion, the dc2 looks better than the ls, da9, but that said, u may have other thoughts. search up on honda-tech and you will find some amazing da's around. and in my opinion, there are hardly any (if any at all) nice da's rolling around sydney.

even check out j-tuned online, they have an amazing da9.

[egSi]

built LS > stock dc2r IMO.

[FR33K]

yes yes LS all the wayyy !! keep it keep it !
the jtuned LS is the aqua/blue one.. hot stuff
i like mine coz they are rare(er) then most other cars on the road..
its hard to be different these days when everyone has everything

[ONV73C]

and ur's is Rio red too.... mmmm special

[wkdteg]

i think all us LS owners r a bit baised. personally, the reason i got 1 is coz they different, and u dont c much of em around. like fried said, just choose the body u like, then go nutz with it. at the end of the day, u can still do light conversions etc.. if u want 2.
does any1 have the link to the j-tuned online car? sounds pretty hot, wouldnt mind checkin it out.
cheers

thats my inspiration !!!

[twofruitz]

100% VTI-R, its already a much better car and you'd need to put 10k at least into an LS to get it up to the standard of a vtir.

:) :) :)

[CONAN]

Turbo your LS motor, do it properly and youll love it much more than a vti-r

[FR33K]

if its in terms of speed i will run one anyday ;)

sorry im being defensive

[wkdteg]

thanx fr33k, really cleared things up for me

[superR]

dc2 vtir=vtec! & vtec= :D
all depends on how much cash you got man...... the limits for any of these cars are all endless. but know this ,you will never make money on anything you do to the car you choose to buy.

[FR33K]

Integra XSi=vtec! & vtec= :D

haha

[crispy]

I think everyone has there own opinion on which car they like better...trust me ive been there. Ive had my LS for over 2 years now and i went through the whole "do i keep the LS and mod, or buy a vtir"... now with much debate with mates and myself ive decided to keep the LS and do sumthing different.. or at least slightly uncommon, because the resale value on an LS isnt much and id need to save heaps for a vtir, and i have already done sooo much to my car that it would kill me to sell it. So coming soon will be a conversion B18a1 --> B18c (all depending on funds).

So long story short do what you feel is best... but as for me, i love my LS and im gonna make her even more lovable!

[SKREMN]

I prefer the looks of the ls to dc2 i would never go up
i did my conversion cost but i'm happy
your gonna mod your now car anyways so just do it to this one you allready started!

[Boy_Integra]

stock 92 front bar with JDP front lip.. its carbon fibre

i wish i could get it but ill just break it lol


Hey FR33K any ideas where i can source one of those front lips from on that red Da9 man?

[crispy]

you can get them through www.jdpengineering.com

Trust me they are pricey!! I got quoted sumthing like $350 for the lip and then like another $150 for shipping... or sumwhere near to there. I think i worked it out to be about $650AUD.

Edit: Darn couldnt find the email.. but they are expensive and really not worth the money. I mean they look shit hot, but id just get a carbon bonnet thru one of the traders here and not risk damaging a lip.. my $.02

[FR33K]

yeh also try ebay and rev-auto.com
they are pricey coz they are carbon fibre (unless u can find a fibreglass/plastic copy)
have fun :)

yeah bro... i frothed when u sent that pic over
just a diff set of rims and ill keep it white...
but aim for that and ull have a unique lookin car

have u thought about the interior? pretty sure the interior of the DC2 is much more preferable to the LS

[FR33K]

ive got that pic as the wallpaper on my phone hahahaa

just havin a browse thru g2ic... those JDP front lips seem very popular over in the states. r the 92-93 bumpers straight bolt ons 2 the 89-91 models?

see - now if i saw this driving down the road, ive give it respect. and with a b18c, or even b16a under there, it would leave me in its dust. much more respect.

interior... man its just like everything else, engine, suspension etc. it can ALL be redone. those crazy americans on HT just strip the dam car, half roll cage, bucket seats, and there u have it :cool:

[FR33K]

yeh straight bolt on.. just use your 90 bumper reinforcement on the 92 and she'll fit straight on ;)

[2NTICN]

yeh id leave the interior pretty stock except a pair of red Sparcos like the ones BADHBT has in his integra, maybe a lil bit of retrim here and there, but i dont want a bling bling integra, i want something unique.
So you guys reckon get a VTiR...UNLESS i can build an integra that is similar to that red one or do a project like dat????

[crispy]

Go with what your heart tells you

[LO_N_SXC]

wanna be different do the LS

and when it comes time to sell just sell all of the bits individually and sell it as stock

[LO_N_SXC]

Go with what your heart tells you
No being more convinient for ya is more important

VTiR's are great cars I've drivens some and they do tickle my fancy but there's too many of them thats why I have the LS

But its up you man unly you can make it all happen!

[ginganggooly]

If i had my time again, i'd actually do the DC4. it's lighter and probably stiffer thanks to not having a stupid hole cut in the roof.

[DynoDave]

[Cold Fusion]

id definitly do up the LS man, theres like, hardly any hell good nice ones out threre anymore, so if u got a sweet one with paint job, b18c and all the candy, it would be so much more better.

Just my 2 cents.

[2NTICN]

thanx everyone for your positive input, Gingangooly, i duno what kind of input u attempted to share with us but i hope u achieve wateva u want....
Looks like the LS is going to be the better option, and id like to run wiv Fr33k and Civic when u guys step up

[NTR16N]

noice choice... i didnt wanna input cause it would be obvious what i have to say... i personally dont like the round lights either... and then the bonnet.. its angled in the wrong way... just what i think anyway...

Now lets see that build up.. :thumbsup:

Without really knowing you I would say the easier path to happiness is a vtir and then doing some minor mods when you have the cash in hand.

The path of the LS is fraught with danger. I would be very surprised if you could outline a budget to do-up an LS and have it come in cheaper than a stocko 96 vtir. If you are serious about a motor swap, wheels&tyres, some body mods and a respray it would be more than likely to start heading towards DC2R prices. You have to factor in other stuff too cause you are starting with a 15 year old car – suspension, seats, sound system and interior to name a few. Then there is all the nickel and dime crap where you are spending 20-50 bucks down at the parts store every Saturday. Don’t forget fitting out your toolbox either.

On the other hand, you might be a top notch home mechanic who spends an hour or too every night working on a car project and is able to do everything himself. In which case the LS is a great option.

Lastly, if you do go with the LS I would strongly recommend having a daily driver (charade or something like it) that you can drive while the LS is on axle stands.

i think 2NITCNs idea was 2 do up the LS as a daily driver, not a full blown show car. correct me if im wrong bro

[2NTICN]

naa youve got it spot on WKDTEG, its gona definately be a daily driver, and im not building a show car here, i want an integra that vtecs by and people standing on the street go " Damn i wish i owned that"!!!

[2NTICN]

by the way 2 things, im changing my username to IN73GZ, just so you will all recognize me when i rejoin, and i welcome inspirational integra pics, specifically da9 pics would be appreciated if all other viewers agree????

[gReY-oNe]

just saw the thread kekekke
go the vtir kekek
chick magnet kekeke :P

[2NTICN]

are u a chick grey one?

[wkdteg]

yup sum1 should start a thread for da9 pics
either here or in the Appearance/Gallery

[gReY-oNe]

are u a chick grey one?

yeah man i am
and i believe u asked me dat in the oder thread LOL
is it cos im a chick that the line vtir's are better chick magnets all of a sudden count LOL
well trust me i am so right

[runwaycrackwhore]

if we were asking this question 2-3 years ago, the answer would be tougher, now vtir's are cheap as chips compared to before you'd be stupid not to go the vtir!

it's a car you can hang on to and imo good value for money and a great car to drive, not borinjg at all. are you stuck to honda? if not for 20 grand it can get you more- 180, gtst, 32 gtr, eg6, eg conversions, gsr, etc

[wkdteg]

haha i think some chicks r partial 2 the LS
quite a few of my female friends reckon there sexy
just depends how theyre done up :p

[gReY-oNe]

i like the front of the LS better than the vtir
i dont hate them but the vtir's if u put it together front and bac looks nice
sowie abts ur DONE UP theory kekeke *no offence not here to pick a fight* but most guys tend to over do them no offence gurls hate over done stuff
thats y go the vtir keep it simples n ill still look great
*thumbs up*

[2NTICN]

yeh i agree, and yeh im sticking to honda, im pretty much and integra person full stop. civics are way too common so im not lookin at that option. Skylines and 180s, people expect them to be fast coz thats the image they portray, i think it is more respectable to have a misleading but nice looking car, if the LS is done properly i think it could show to make alot of VTiR's , Skylines, and 180s look bad

[gReY-oNe]

i guess so
but u must remeber how much harder its gonna be for u to sell the car
all the mods u really dont get any money from dem wen ur tryin to sell the car that wat i mean
but dat my opinion kekeke i hab a ten dollar an hour job n go to uni so im sorta stingy LOL

LoL ur right... hence my "depends how its done up" comment :D some chicks dig it, and some dont... just depends how its done.
im also a uni student who makes 10 an hr, but i scavange every cent i can and put it in2 the car... within a few yrs, well b graduated and earning proper money. i wont get the money i put in the car back LoL ill just keep moddin it ;)

yeah most the money i have goes to saving for rims n new springs n the rest goes to servicing the dame car n cleanin it :( n none for me

[wkdteg]

woah... pretty passionate. LoL most chicks i know spend their hard earned clothe shoppin, not part shoppin... good on ya :thumbsup:

[2NTICN]

yeh i try and save my money from buying other items that i could probably do without, springs and rims will be my next purchase and then the paint and so on....

[2NTICN]

i mite put up a pic of the teg before i start the project and then ill have one after to compare, i took a couple today coz my new plates arrived, so ill keep them for comparison

[gReY-oNe]

oh the clothing is brought by my sista n i drive her around so its fair :)

[2NTICN]

how old are u and ur sista?

[gReY-oNe]

im 18 n my sista 16
lol
so its not too bad share cloths plus my sista is more mature den me :(

[blackek4]

just keep your Ls , and save money for other better car.

if you want to make this a hobby..best to get the vtir...i myself get annoyed with older car models

thanx everyone for your positive input, Gingangooly, i duno what kind of input u attempted to share with us but i hope u achieve wateva u want....


what i was attempting to share was that from a performance point of view, buying and modding a dc4 might be a better decision- building an ls/vtec isn't that much of a dark art anymore, and the dc4 chassis is a better starting point than the dc2 (non type-r) because it is both lighter and stiffer.
It looks the same, and is a fair bit cheaper, so why not? ;)

ye got some but dont want to hijack the thread!


all these cars are USDM with JDM conversions

[RyDC5S]

I thought the tag sounded familiar.

Nice teg BADHBT when I saw it in the mag.

[crispy]

If i had the money, then id piss of the ls and get a dc2 and get the jdm front end conversion. Ive always loved it and always will, but i rekon my LS is pretty good so ill be keeping her. Money is a major factor really as to what you can do and cannot. Ideally id love to get a rolling shell of a dc2 and then build build build!

[2NTICN]

yeh true, money factor is a big consideration,
Marc feel free to post up some more pics, this thread has been pretty big, maybe we can get it stickyied????

[wkdteg]

BADHBT... feel free 2 hijak :D

Why dont we see if we can get lots of pics up of Da9s and DC2s and then vote which is the better option....

OooOOO!!!

H22A in a DC2 Chassis! :)
in comparison to the b18c7....
would the h22a have more grunt?

[wkdteg]

from wat i remember in the article, the h22a has heaps more torque than the b18c's. tegs r lighter than ludes, so i assume the car would fly. correct me if im wrong BADHBT

[BADHBT]

a normal h22 wouldnt be that much diffrent to the b18's
but a jdm h22 type is has alot more torque compared to a
b18cR

[Banana]

SAVE UR MONEY AND BUY A BICYCLE...40 yr old virgin style

[wkdteg]

a normal h22 wouldnt be that much diffrent to the b18's
but a jdm h22 type is has alot more torque compared to a
b18cR
ahh my bad
yeah the jdm h22a from a lude type s right? wats their stock power n torque figures?

Banana, if u havnt got anythin constructive 2 say, keep ur comments urself :)

[Boy_Integra]

you can get them through www.jdpengineering.com

Trust me they are pricey!! I got quoted sumthing like $350 for the lip and then like another $150 for shipping... or sumwhere near to there. I think i worked it out to be about $650AUD.

Edit: Darn couldnt find the email.. but they are expensive and really not worth the money. I mean they look shit hot, but id just get a carbon bonnet thru one of the traders here and not risk damaging a lip.. my $.02

Cheers crispy thanks for the link man :thumbsup:

[BADHBT]

ahh my bad

:)

if i can find my dyno graph ill post it but i doubt ill find it though :(

[wkdteg]

thanx dude :)

[evo201]

dude i will sell you my type r..... lol
mate it is a personal choice. dont ever think that mods will make the car more valuble

[0098]

keep the LS i think they look good man, nice shape and you will be more original. Modify the car for yourself not for resale value, and by the time you decide to sell it you should have some money saved up for your new car anyway.

[IN73GZ]

yeh im definately not doing it up for resale value, but u still have to consider how much money is going to be lost by the time ur finished, although i guess if its wat u really want then the money is not really being "wasted"

[GYPO2C]

haha this thread took me over 1 hour to read through.

IN73GZ... from the person that use to own he car u are driving.... KEEP the LS man. It is actually one of my biggest regrets selling it. Only reason i did is because i had a company car and couldbnt afford keeping the LS. I mean i know the euro is familish, but ppl still consider them sexy, yet i can confidently say i got 5 times more looks driving round the LS. I believe this is because of two reasons:

1) they are sexy especially for a car their age and
2) they are rare

They are a fantastic car, and with the price of conversions these days ie b16a's etc, i would have done it with no hesitation if i didnt get rid of it.

ive also driven many DC2 vtirs and i actually much prefer the comfort and ride position of the LS.

on the DA9 cruise about 3 months ago, we looked so awesome crusing around together just because of how slick the cars looked.

excuse the essay guys..

[crispy]

There not all that rare, a good mint condition one may be rare but they are all over carsales! I still love the unique difference between an LS and any other cars.

[skywings]

I'm another chick who prefers and owns an LS. I much prefer the headlights to the round ones of the DC-1, although I have to say my ideal car would be the DC-1 (even if the headlights are slightly Accord-like).

I've considered modifying my LS, and as much as I love it, I'm a practical person who prefers no-fuss and low maintenance, so I think I will ultimately get a VTi-R. Maybe even as soon as next year (good-bye, LS).

I can't see myself putting in $$$ to do the LS up and then more $$ in maintaining it.

It all depends on where your priorities lie.

JMHO.
