prelude vti-r or integra vti-r

[shaun212]

hey my integra ls jus shat itself and i am now lookin at gettin a new car..
im planning on spending around 15000 dollars and cant decide which is better for bang for buck out of prelude and vti-r.
my friend jus bought a integra vti-r (may of seen at the latest perth honda cruise) that has mods like mugen pistons and upgraded injectors and goes pretty hard and he only paid 11 500 for it.
id like somethin like that but somethin like that but jus doesnt seem to be around.
i was jus wondering wat u guys thought out of the 2 models plus and minus etc.
cheers

[z3lda]

luxury heavy cruiser vs bit more sporty less cruisy
depends what floats ur boat

[dwn_boi]

PRELUDE FTMFW!! lol i was in the same shoes as you are with the same amount of spending cash :D i found a sexy blu 99 model vtir manual prelude with 135km on the clock full logz everthing for $14999 there is hope and omfg you'll love the leather :D

[dc4t]

integra's are better.. if ur into a real sports car.. prelude if u want more of a cruiser

preludes are all of the above, theyr classy, luxurious and sporty ;)

the prelude is much more than simply getting from a to b quickly its also about arriving there in style ;) i vote prelude!! :cool:

[steve88]

go the lude! i was going to get one when i got my EK but im kicking myself, trying to save my money to buy a house :(

[dwn_boi]

why notbuy a lude and live in that? :D back seat for the win!

[gtotwinturbo]

The prelude goes very hard
The integra also goes very hard

It's a honda thing.

Though what i do keep hearing about my integra once i got it is...that if it's not a type R dont mention it.

But then again most people dont even know the type S is better than a type R so take your pick :P

JDM integras look better than the prelude personal opinion! :D
But bang for your buck comes down to what you can find in the market at the time that you want to buy!

I got my DC5 luxury for under 17k

Good luck

[Luder88]

Lude all the way. BUT you gotta get em in manual =) The semi-automatic transmission ain't as good unless you get a 99> model.

sorry dwn boi.... tegz ftw they look better :)

[shaun212]

all this info and diff opinions is doin my head in haha
nah but im def more of a sports car driver, tho i think that its a bit of an understatement to call the prelude a "cruiser". tis still a sports car.
ive always loved the integra but those celica style headlights ill definately hav to learn to live with coz im not too fond of them (much prefer the older ones or the jap spec type r ones)..
i do wanna find one of either the lude or tegz thats had a bit of work done to the engine.. so hopefully somethin will pop up!
keep up the good info guys
p.s im def a manual driver, but luder88 said somethin about the tip tronic bein better in the 99 lude or somethin, explain?

[Benson]

Definately an Integra. Dont see many prelude at the track. Too heavy.

If your going to get a prelude might as well get a Euor Accord.

[dupac->]

get integra.

if your looking at mods for prelude prob hard to source parts aswell..

yeaaaah too many people call the ludes cruisers. they've still got quite a lot of power and grunt to back up when needed :P

yeaaah apparently the transmission in ludes from 1999 onwards is much stronger and is more capable of taking a thrashing if you've got a heavy foot.
some people have had to get their motors rebuilt because of their transmission failing on em due to the weaker transmission in those before the 99 model ludes. i think it was due to the tiptronic? they fixed that up in the later models so it's all good.

[dupac->]

just get a manaul onetriptronic is shithouse
lol

[[NAV]]

get the 5gen prelude vti-r... it pullls hard and its a nice comfortable car.. it is more of a cruise car than the teg... however if you get some adjustable shocks n decent springs.. your pretty much set =] goodluck!

his budget is 15k thats why a lude is better option ;)


i found you some ludes that might tikkle ur fancy ;)

i think this one is awsome buy:

[steve88]

does your car still have those plates? i saw a blue lude last night

[dc4t]

preludes are all of the above, theyr classy, luxurious and sporty ;)

the prelude is much more than simply getting from a to b quickly its also about arriving there in style ;) i vote prelude!! :cool:

if u want all that then buy an integra type s :p.. i had a dc2 before, my friend had a prelude.. really.. the prelude's have an awesome motor, but they're just too heavy.. the integra looks better anyway.. all bout opinions though i guess

[Tu88y]

go for the integra

ludes are to heavy but great cars at the same time
more after market support for b series then a h series
h series parts are harder to find
if you dont want to do any work go for the lude

[shaun212]

yeh i think ive decided on the integra seems as im more of a sports car driver than a "cruiser" and will prolly be modifying in the future...
i jus gotta find the right one at the right price...
im in no hurry tho so thats good, so if u guys find sumthin good or wanting to sell a hot lil tegs let me know.. p.s i live in perth
special thanks go out to "dwn_boi" ur opinion does count and it seems like u went to a lil trouble finding a nice lude for me, even tho most of them had the directional rims on the wrong side of the car haha (guessing that when they rotated tyres they not only jus rotated front to back but also left to right...)
cheers peeps!

[Tu88y]

you want to buy mine
hahahahaha

[TheSaint]

i looked at both DC2 integra and the 'square light'? prelude (the newest one) i couldnt beleive that the prelude was a 2.2vtec... it had no power at all... it handeld a bit better but the motor was nowhere near as fun as the integra

when i test drive the integras they felt alot more powerful and 'racey' than the preludes, and they where much more fun to drive, the mods will be easier to source as well

just dont crash them tho... sum guy ran me off the road in my teg (the day after it got brand new ITR front lip + side skirts + a bradn new fujita CAI) and the front turned into a pancake and i ended up in a wheelchair for 6 months... wasnt even a full on crash... =/

it sounded really ballsy after the fujita CAI... nice n quiet down low but put ur foot down n it sounds like a wrx, much better than the apexi short ram that was on there

but yeah... found the integra to be much better... and i really loved the lights after not too long lol

another car i tested was a ITR del sol CRX (b18c7)... mate had it for sale in mandurah for 15000$... best car iv ever driven... sooo sticky... and dont bother trying to get use out of ur backseat... too small... never used mine at all... wish i get tthe crx lol

[Luder88]

like we said, the lude is classified more as a luxury cruiser car than a sports car and with more features than the integra... it makes it such a heavy car. much heavier than any teg or civic. but don't go sayin the lude has no power at all, the teg and lude are different classed cars.
you guys would love a h22 conversion anyday though eh? :P

[TheSaint]

maybe it was the weight but im just saying wen i tested the prelude it just wasnt as hardcore as the integra, H22 vs B18c

it just didnt get up n go like the teg did...

[Luder88]

I feel you man! =)
it's all good.

[T-onedc2]

but those celica style headlights ill definately hav to learn to live with coz im not too fond of them
actually the Celica had Integra style headlights, but yeah i had to decide between the two and found aftermarket support was poor for the Prelude, and I really like corners and the chuckability of the Integra. Compared to any coupe on the market the Integra has excellent rear seat room yet still a bit tight.

[boosted_andy]

go the prelude :D

fun cars, more power than the integras and with the prelude u dont have the hairdressers car appeal to it :P

and prelude looks phatter :D and goes faster :P

[dwn_boi]

lmfao at andy :D

my vote is buy q balls integra from him he dont need it anymore haha

i do like the integras i was origianlly guna by one, but as soon as i sat in the perferation of the leather in a lude *droolz* i couldnt resist my lude

i say if ur not guna buy qballs integra you have to buy this one :D pink wall tyres and creme leather fTw!!

[Sexc86]

we have owned a gen 5 vtir and they are an AWSOME car... they are too underrated by even honda driviers. lots of room, very very comfertable to drive... pretty much every accessory you can think of.. power everything, sunroof, cruise controll blahblahblah... body lines look absolutely sexy from close and far. lots and lots of torque too!

Had a CAI and VAFC ran a 14.7 ... also put it up against a dc2r and dc5r... victorious in both instances... however in my opinion i think the dc2r it better setup from factory for circuit handelling.. (not that you cant easily make a lude do the same anyway if you want)

I vote for the gen 5 prelude

lol hi 5! haha i too agree very underated for what thy are :d

[TheSaint]

but no roar vtec?

i say test drive both and see what u like better

[T-onedc2]

and with the prelude u dont have the hairdressers car appeal to it :P
I'm not so sure about that but each to their own :)

[TheSaint]

+1 to above comment

me (+ everyone i know) see the prelude as more of a girls car than any other honda, we also dont really see them as a sports car either, they are a cruizer... +respect for anyone with a type-s but otherwise they are nice for bling not bang

i have seen more girls and idiot pop style P platers driving them around thinking they are top stuff

how many nice clean tegs u see around? further more ho many bogans u see driving the? i see next to non lol

[VT1-R]

We dun buy the Type R family hondas for luxury and so much comfort. Be it the hardcore Type R or the VTI-R, they are all out to show how small N/A engine kicks ass.

If u get a prelude, you got torque. but u got shit loads of weigh to pull along with u. In the end, you are no better than an Ek4 civic with no torque but lighter.

I think the best VTI-R to get is the Integra. Nice modern shape. 125kw for AUDM. Weighing about 30-40kg more than the Ek4. Oso great handling and B18C has sufficient torque n top end to go up against stock WRXs.

If i was u, i just get a GLI EK and convert a B18CR into it. Ur $15k can get u an EK for $5-$6k. Den $6k++ for engine conversion.$1k install and remaining for bolts on mods I/h/e. You are set. And this time u talking about 1st gen stock STIs. haha..

But reply to thread is Integra VTI-R for the win.

[Sexc86]

Depending on what you want the car for if we are purely just compareing a H22a VTIR lude VS B18C2 VTIR DC2

Strait line factory vs factory lude will pull no questions asked. No replacement for Displacement.

Circuit work... If we were compareing a DC2 ITR with a VTIR Prelude, i would say ITR no questions asked. however we are compareing with a DC2 VTIR.. smaller brakes, no 5 studs, heavier, no lsd etc (please correct if wrong or add anything else). I think the dc2 VTIR would out perform a gen 4 Vtir Prelude in handelling. but not the Gen 5 VTIR prelude ( bigger brakes, 5 stud, generally better setup)... and Especially not a Gen 5 type S... more power again, ATTS.. (Automatic Torque Transfer system... LSD)

In regards to people you see driving them... This is compeltely about how the cars compare.. not about the stereo type they have. But i can assure i have seen all sorts of Riced up hondas with their ganster wigger / or girl drivers... Civics Integras included.

Weight of a car doesnt matter as long as you have the parts/power to back it up.. you dont see people saying... oh a v8 supercar is shit because its too heavy? course not because its got the balls to back it up.. a h22a has got shitload more torque then a runofthemill b18c2 Vtir. and can pretty much rev just as high.

We ran 14.7 @ 98MPH (time slip to proove if needed)... Not compelte stock but close, VAFC + pod

Dont see many STOCK Vtirs running sub 15s
http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?t=72742&page=7

[T-onedc2]

Handling of a stock DC2 doesn't feel or look great but it really is very very good, it's lighter with less rubber, Prelude is heavier and extra torque is needed to keep up, and has slightly more rubber. V8 supercars weigh about the same as a Prelude.

There's bugger all in it really, the driver will determine the difference.

which is quicker to 100 the lude or the teg?

[TheSaint]

i found the handeling of the lude to be better... but the power in the teg to be better - lol i like both and considered both wen buying my car, it all comes down to what u like... teg won for me than... but now that im a lot more chilled out id prob buy a lude

only the newest one tho
type-s are damn nice

[B16bcivic]

bro I say go for the teg, as there are more parts to fix then the lude bro. more options in engines, and more options in parts where as the lude is one it self sad for its kind. No option engines even if used other engines it will take to much time and use to much parts, teggy has all parts and bolts onto any b-series parts.

[shaun212]

ive mannaged to find a teg im interested in..
i said in the 1st reply of this that my mate jus bought a moded integra which was sumthin that i was lookin 4. hapens to be that he's wanting to sell it in about a month, purely becoz its a frnt wheel drive and hes lookin at an s14 etc for drifting.
so thought id still see wat u guys think..
the main thing that put me off is it has done a fair amount of ks (150000). he drives it hard but not excessivly hard (red lining etc).
but the full description of it is that its a blue 96 vti-r with mugen pistons (dunno when in the 150000ks of its life the re-build was done), mugen injectors, 5zigen exhaust, koni springs and a set of light wieght white wheels (4 get the make).
all for $11000
give us ya thoughts cheers

[T-onedc2]

Personally I avoid buying any modded cars because I've been around long enough to see some nasty examples. Even though it costs more to do it myself at least I know it's done properly and won't need doing again which in the long run costs less too. ;)

[Sexc86]

Buying Modded Vs Buying Stock has its Pros and cons...

When buying any 2nd hand car you cant make stereo types or assumptions, you have to treat every car as its own by itself.

Eg.. you cant "assume" that because a car is modded that its been thrashed... just like you cant "assume" a car that is stock with under 100k is perfect.

Buying a modded car you can really pick up some bargains... but also you have to be able to smell bullshit. Ie Internal work? have they got recipets? (i never knew mugen made pistons or injectors?) and if people dont have reciepts you CANNOT take their word for it. No reciept... its bullshit

Buying a stock car and planning to do it... will cost you lots more money AND Time AND sweat then ever ever in theory. But you cant take pride in atleast you created something.

150xxxk's on a 96 dc2 is pretty good imo. But as i said its really just a number that means shit all. 150xxx on one car could be good and 150xxxks on another could be very bad. Its all to do with their life. Do your research and know what to look for. Keep in mind many hondas see over 400xxxks unrebuilt. I belive honda themselves have some honda engines running over 1 000 000ks. (in near perfect conditions)

Know the things to look for and be able to look for signs of possibly faults.

ALso i still stand by the Gen 5 VTIR > Dc2 Vtir. Your kidding yourself if you think there is no aftermarket support for H22a... WTF? some of the best honda drag cars use these engines.. both here and the states.... If it were an Accord with a F20b (Similar spec to the h22a)... then yeh you fuct.

lol. nice, couldnt say it any better myself. theres a turbo kit for any1 interested for a prelude 5th gen. if u plan on moddin ur car hahahahah.
but yeh i have a prelude and loved it ever since. bit sad i had 2 take out the turbo thou. i think the prelude loved the turbo hahahaha.

[steve88]

my friend bought a low km's 60000 honda civic. youd think its in great condition, but the original owners "old couple" never serviced it so his battery, starter motor died. and i saw it blowing white smoke yesterday. never assume low km's = great car

[gReY-oNe]

go for the integra

ludes are to heavy but great cars at the same time
more after market support for b series then a h series
h series parts are harder to find
if you dont want to do any work go for the lude

lmao
well h22a parts arnt hard to find if you know where to look but prelude parts are
if that makes sense..

YOU CANT GENERALISE A CAR WITH THE PEOPLE DRIVING THEM!!!
just for bling .. there are things u can do to the lude same as with the teg
not all luders think bling is best

preludes are great cars BUT i can say they dont go all that great, its all up to wat the INDIVIDUAL is lookin for
you think there arnt any "idiot pop style" P platers driving tegs?
most hondas seem to be the target for p platers cos of restrictions


how many nice clean tegs do you see??
there all the same... im not sayin out there is nice
but step out alittle

im sure heaps of people will agree

[dupac->]

teg > lude

'you think there arnt any "idiot pop style" P platers driving tegs?'

im yet to see one driving a vtec integra, seen a few gsi's

'a girls car? and eks where made for wat??
BOYS?? thats why there rounded and small and a 1.6
im not sayin there not great just making my point'

good thing about EK is they are half way between hatch and coupe and they are a nice light basis for a mean sleeper, commodores hate seeing the back of them hahaha, they look very mean with angel halo eyes or any slight modification really
good thing about honda is they are very easy to make look mean with jdm styling, thing i dont like personally about the prelude is they are pretty much complete car and the newest 2 models look more usdm style than rice, and they are too heavy and its hard to find parts for them, they are very nice to drive and handle very well but i felt that preludes were more of a complete package, i think they would be a better car to maybe get you to work everyday etc rather than be on the scene and getting new parts for it everyweek

'Buying a stock car and planning to do it... will cost you lots more money AND Time AND sweat then ever ever in theory. But you cant take pride in atleast you created something.'

yes this is very true, although it is fun creating something the time and effort really is a drain, i spent SO much time and energy on my car and in one instance of stupid boganistic ford driving (some idiot hit me) it was all gone, so the next car im getting is gona be pretty much left alone lol
hrm... 02 wrx impreza or 02 audi A4 2.0T

same thing goes with ludes aswell.. it's either stock or ridiculously ugly.


ive seen barely a handful that's worth looking at.

[dupac->]

it's obvious.
teg owners will vouch for tegs.

lude owners will vouch for ludes.


comes down to actual specs of each car
lol

'how many nice clean tegs do you see??

[dc2dc2dc2]

[shaun212]

ok i know that the tittle of this is integra vti vs prelude vtir
but i made that the title originally becoz i was lookin for a new car and couldnt decide on which one.. well ive always been an integra man but u seem to be able to pick up ludes quite cheaps now..
but personally ive decided on integra for a few reasons one bein that always been my fave honda. the others is id like a more of sport car then a luxo and the integ seems to be slightly more track bred.. aftermarket parts DO seem to be a lot easier to get ur hands on. also personally id rather the car that redlines to 8k rather the around 6k.
anways now that that is clear, a friends friend is selling his teg.
personally i would like to buy a clean stock teg and mod it up, but fact is that ive gotta tight budget and this one is cheap for wat its got.
as "sexc86" said b4 about the not hearing of mugen pistons etc. im a bit sceptical about that also but ive been in it and draged agianst s2k and was not a lot in it at all.. also said about lookin for faults.. any1 know of a good check list that may be more specific 2 dc2s?

[TheSaint]

i got an RAC check done on cars when i was shopping around for my teg

things i found wrong or went wrong was:

- the honda reverse gear crunch or stickynes - if its in early stages dont worry but if its bad than look into it

- springs can get noisy and sound dodgy (cant give u technical explaination but it was a choosing factor for a couple of tegs for me)

- the door panels wont line up properly if its had major bodywork done, check the gap between the door and wer the windsceen follows along

- the antenna will make a ticking noise as it goes up and down if its bent (should replace them with a s2k one)

- check to make sure the boot board isnt snapped (the flooring in the boot)

- warm the car up for 15-20min and take it for a 'vtec' just to make sure its all running ok

- take the floor matts out and look at the carpet, in one of the tegs i was looking at a few rips and tears wer being hidden with floor mats

- if the windows make a sound going up and down or rattle when they are halfway down theres a good chance the black runner has gone, this is very expensive to fix so dont worry about it

- check the gas struts that hold the boot up, these are also costly to fix

- if theres a metal rattleing sound coming from the back while ur driving check the back seat is bolted down... took me ages to identify what the sound was

- also check for CV joint ticking when u go around corners, these always go in thrashed FWD cars and can cost a bit of $$ and fidleing to fix - not a major issue tho

- make sure theres no stickers covering the rear window brake light - unless it has a spoiler with a brake light

- lastly dont be blinded by nice stereo, mags, aftermarket gear, bling etc, try to look at the car in a stock form and also make sure that these modifications dont hinder the way the car runs in its stock form, always look at modifications with scrutiny just to be sure

i hope i helped, these are all things i went through when i bought my baby (teg) last year

yeh most those things im already aware of and most arent a real biggie i dont think.. my old ls integra had most of those problems haha like the reverse gear crunch but i mastered that by slotting into another gear jus b4 and would go in smoothly. the springs were squeeky over like speed bumps and that, i jus thought it was coz the susp was so stiff.. but anyways...
i will for sure look out for those sort of problems and will def be gettin it rac inspected!
but yeh i am very drawn to it becoz of its aftermarket gear and how well it runs but not by the i.c.e at all coz i got a nice stereo for it already..
how am i to know if the aftermarket parts for the engine are dodgey or goin to cause harm?? he is a friend so its not like he knows its goin to shit itself and trying to flog it off..
p.s its currently got a yellow sticker because of the brake lights he shadded and as a caution he borrowed stock susp to get thru becoz the aftermarket ones might be too low.. but i thought it might be good because at least i know if its got any un road worthy faults like oil leaks ect.

[TheSaint]

good call about the yellow sticker... try get your hands on the report they do and find out what he does to it after the inspection
