Which car to get? Please give some recommendations

[s2_eternity_s2]

I'm looking for a sport car with a good :thumbsup: engine (of course i dont mind a turbo! :p). What i have in mind so far are Integra type R or type S and S15 :o. I'm after fuel efficient too. So any of you guyz have any recommendation on these 2 or any other car, please recommend and advise the estimate cost for it would be great. Cheerz :cool:

if i were u id prolly get a Type R, more sporty then a type S and more fuel efficent then a s15, u could only get a dc2r for that price but to be honest most people think they are better anyways

17k... and your looking at those cars... your borrowing like +5k on top of the 17k right... because you aren't going to be getting into any of those cars at that price.

I agree. For a Type R, add a few more thousand. For a Type S, add about an extra $10 - $13K. And an S15, you might be lucky, but it'll be high kms.

you need at least 19K for a decent DC2R, forget the Type S unless you want something more subtle. good luck dude!

The thread doesn;t have much relevance to integra's

I'd say buy the S15.
But each to their own.

Personal preference plays a big part as does your wallet, look at prices on carsales or whatnot in reference to DC2s and DC5s, thats gunna give you a good idea on the figures most people want on average. Then set yourself a realistic budget, taking into account all your insurance, rego transferral etc (so give yourself a couple of $K buffer for those unwanted expenditures).
Everyone knows DC2s and DC5s are fuel efficient under VTEC (up to +/-5000rpm for everyday driving) so if you're after efficiency, they will give you what you want (untill u play around the business end of the tacho).
Above all, do your research, KNOW what you are buying. Go thru all the messin around, do compression tests, make sure its a healthy engine, research parts etc. Who knows, in time you might find exactly what you want. Good luck:)

Agreed - moved.

17k wont get you far.
Dont forget the cost for on roads and insurance.

GSi turbo :)

[outatime]

there's one in carsales for about 9k. but it's an integra vti-r. it's tastefully modded though..

[s2_eternity_s2]

Thanks guyz. i know Integra type R and S is a lot to ask for $17k. I am willing to spend up to $25k actually (or $30k without having do up anything else)...

[kraiye]

whats an EP3 worth these days?

and what sort of sportiness do u like? straight line acceleration, zippy cornering/precise handling, rear end traction loss/drift ??

[s2_eternity_s2]

yea that sounds about right. i like the speed - fast engine! You didnt mean a 04 civic EP3 did u? I already got a EK1 so dont want another civic...

[filip5]

i think dc5r would be the way to go or maybe a jdm dc2r

[NightKids]

There's an EG Sedan for sale. B20 plus turbo. Good engine plus turbo & it's only $15K!

[VTECMACHINE]

EP3R's are FTMFW!
