Decision between Building an LS or Geting A VTiR

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

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"!!!

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

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

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

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*

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
