I have a GSi. I have absolutely no intention of installing any kind of performance modification, or taking it to the track, as such an endeavour would be pointless. As far as daily driving is concerned, though, it was an absolute bargain, and is a lovely car to drive.

I'd still swap it for a clean EG, though.

you were thinking of a B18C for your civic in the future dude, it would be a waste of money to buy another car with an engine you don't want....

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

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

auto is slow, manual is a fair bit quicker but still has relatievly long gears so it feels quite slow

prelude is a cruising car because its so heavy not really fast and to be honest its pretty ugly, civic vtir is a good base car to build up from, but i would definately choose the dc2 over all, looks the best out of the 3.

you're ugly

ugly that's purely your option and gut feel rather than providing any solid argument.

1300 kg isn't impossibly heavy.
