GSi is a great car to drive but if VTEC is what you want then you are better off getting a car that has it in the first place rather then spending many $$$ on an engine swap later.
One of my mates did that, i still give him shit about it. He had a dc4 for 5k few years back. She was nice stock and it took us to uni and back (100km trip) 5 days a week. He ended up blowing close to 12k on the type r conversion lolol (body, engine, brakes, suspension, recaro's, rims even went as far as the decals) and it still don't look no where as nice as a type R. There's just something about it. Funniest thing of all when a 'real' type R drives by him they always high-beam or honk at him lolol.
WHAT A RICER LOLOL!
PS: That 12k came after finishing uni, when he had a full time job.
Glad you're leaning towards the integra lololol :p
As stated, don't bother putting b18c2 or c7 into a gsi, just buy a vtir (or a type r if budget allows for it)
As far as things you are concerned about, vtec crossover will be most obvious in the dc2r, but em1 sounds nice on vtec :)
Vtir crossover isn't as pronounced due to dual intake...
The best advice I can give is similar to amant02 above: if you don't get a type r don't try and make it a type r. It won't ever be one, so just try and make it a nice vtir, you can even make it faster than a dc2r if you want...
Best of luck with whatever you choose!
Although you can always easily (if not cheaply) turbo a GSi for something a bit different.
ok thanks guys. i am actually going to get the dc2 vtir i think. but i still cant get over the looks of the em1. i love it too. haha. but i will make up my mind in time. thank you soo much for your help again. oh btw i drove my mates bb6 vtir today and it was unbelievable. it was great. it was an auto though thats the downside for me. but i used the semi-auto on it and its not that bad. i dont know if its me, it felt like it had a slow acceleration. maybe cause its semi auto? i was nervous driving it though. just being careful cause its not my car. cheers
Good luck braQuote:

^ exactly :) best of luck!
auto is slow, manual is a fair bit quicker but still has relatievly long gears so it feels quite slowQuote:

you're ugly
jks
not jks
ugly that's purely your option and gut feel rather than providing any solid argument.
1300 kg isn't impossibly heavy.
