Ive had my 00' LS for about 7 years now I love the car but I want more power.I was thinking of going ls vtec route but its gonna cost me a good 4k for a well built motor plus I still need to get a b16 trans.Or I can just get a type r and do absolutley nothing to it other than basic bolt ons.When I get back from depolyment I plan on either building my LS or saying goodbye to it and get an R.I really dont know what to do.What would you guys do?

If you can find a good Type R, I would go that way, the Type R is a far better car.94

haha yeah man not that tough if u have the funds id def go type r i like ls's though there cool to me type rs are more of a fetish thing i mean 15k on an older car phew but get a type r!

here's some food for thought, a type R would hold it's value much better than a fixed up or built up LS. If you have the 4G to spend, sell the LS and get an R.

With that said, an integra type r isn't meant for power. there are many other cars in the price range that make more power.

Are you talking about actually buying a legit type r integra or swapping a type r motor in your ls? Either way is good.

Yea im leaning towards the R but its hard to find a stock clean title one.Its gonna be hard to let go of my LS but im sure once I have the R sitting in the driveway I wont miss it.

A legit R I figure why not when I get back from deployment im gonna have the cash for it.Im gonna spoil myself after being in this shithole for 9 months I think I deserve it.

Rebuilding a GSR vs swapping in a stock ITR motor was an easy choice for me in favor of the R. If we're talking the whole car, I would still be in favor of selling the LS and looking for a R.

In the long run, it'll be cheaper to just buy a Type R.

I think I made up my mind now I just have to find a clean ,unmolested R.

just go get a Evo or STi or older S4.

if you're set on integras you're better off buying the type r. resale is better and the car is balanced out of the gate

but

for the 10-14k you spend on one you could get an evo8, 5th gen corvette or wrx

all of which get worse mpg than the R and weigh more but the performance potential does go up, especially in the case of the c5 and evo8, either of those can be made just brutal

if you get an R make sure you keep full coverage insurance on it

Yea im dead set on an integra I just love the body style and pretty much everything about it.Im sure I can get a car with alot more to offer for that price.
