buy a car, integra or prelude?

[Q_ball]

For a lil bit more, you're in the market for an EG.
Id recommend doing that.
250k kms + near 20 yr old vehicles dont sit too well with me.

Plus with EGs, ur guaranteed to have an endless supply of parts lying around somewhere.

ahahahahahaha its the truth...

But we both know you want to go to the darkside of Honda

i did search for EF/EG hatch, but there is no car on sale in Adelaide with this price
Prelude and Integra is the Honda what i can find ATM.

the good is i am not in hurry, i still get some time to wait until a good one available.
if want a car is less then 250k km, i find a S13; )

4WS

4ws is overrated

Mate...

As an owner of both a 3rd gen prelude (1988-1991) and a 5th gen (1997-2001) all I can say is I'm still driving the 3rd gen more...

4WS (Four Wheel Steering) is so awesome. Yes it may be overated but it is just a dream for everday driving...

The interior of the 3rd gen prelude also rapes the same generation integra... Sit in both cars and feel the difference mate...

Come have a drive of my 3rd gen (Which is coincidentally for sale...) and see what it's like... I then ask you to sit in the same generation Integra...

Heres the link to my sale add - It's a rare Series II 3rd gen in Manual... I think one of only 3 being sold in Sydney right now... (Guy from Victoria is flying down on Wednesday to come see it)

Oh and on EG's... God they have horrible interiors. Feels so cheap and plasticky... I don't know how people can live with the crap arse interiors...

I drove once a 3gen Prelude for a while(approx. 15-20min), the feedback from rear wheel did scare me.

The same generation Integra you noted is pop-up light one or DA integra?

OMG~your car is awesome, very good condition i can see from the photo.
sadly i don't have that much cash.
Good luck with your sales

Edit: As Petronas you are long term owner of 3gen prelude, is it hard to get parts for service or repair?

I was specifically referring to the DA, though they both have crappy interiors... The DA however may most likely win in pure performance by a very small margin against the 87-91 Prelude.

hmm I've only had the car for a year so i haven't done anything major... Besides maybe change the clutch and CV's... From rummaging around in places like Honbits and Hontoys I wouldn't say parts are hard to come by, maybe more so than say a Falcamodore or even a Civic... Maybe, and just maybe... The parts may be that much pricier...

I'll tell you one thing... I have never come across a MY91 Series II 3rd gen (91 - 91) in any caryard... So parts made specifically for that model (eg. Gearbox, little sensors for speedo and so on) will be VERY hard to come by... Look to pay around $400 for a MY91/90 front bumper unpainted... And $200 for a MY88/89 (I was planning to do a bumper swap to the older model, looks nicer)

Dunno I just never thought about parts availability when I bought the car...

integra would be the go in my opinion but id try go for something abit newer and less kms but thats my opinion, civics never done anything for me like stated above the interiors are as bland an cheap as hell
