both hard 2 get parts since they are so old

if ur gunna get parts, they are going to be second hand, and if there second hand, no 100% guarantee they are going to do the job for long.

and if u mean aftermarket parts, go for integra

I buy brand new parts for my 1989 Toyota Corolla, so i don't know where you go parts shopping at mate.

Go the Integra, such a better car in the long run.

Can i be honest here?

Buy the Teg

**onlykillzz** · 25-10-2008 01:19 AM

you can buy what ever part you wont from honda i can even still get b18 blocks from there, shore there like 2 grand just for the block but you can still get them

thanks for everyone comment
Integra should be a butter buy, of younger age
honest, i like the look of integra more then prelude.

how is the handling? they got same suspension, equal-length drive shafts. the main different i can find just bit of the power and the 4WS.

4ws is overrated

I had a 88 prelude, there a nice car. very reliable and i could always get parts from Honda. as for the teg not sure what there like. just remember the teg is a sports car and the prelude is a luxury car, depends what you want i guess.

the Tegs are easy to get parts from (Junkyard or Honda, you'll get what you need)

and Aftermarket support is growing (quickly)

(assuming) your going 1G teg ('88) head over to a few of the forums as you will get a idea how it is to own one and what you can do
