99-00 EM1 or 92-93 DB2
Havent posted much in the honda civic forum as I own a db2. Confused on what chasis to use. Here is my situtation....
I bought a 1992 Aztec Green Acura Integra GS-R from the Original owner, bone stock in March 2007. I then have lowered it, put rota slips, jdm 1 peices, hids, and 3 inch 5 point harness along with a fully rebuilt b17a1 and did a stock block turbo gt30r build. I love the car to death, its clean, no rust, dent (scratches, but any car will have them) I will never sell it. Try to keep it stock as poss (besides rims and coilovers along with the turbo set up)
Now, I am looking into 99-00 EM1's for a daily, but have been thinking maybe if I buy a EM1 that I would want to put my turbo set up and motor (building a b18c1 block currently) into it. How ever, I do not want to daily my gsr as it only has 128K ( bought it was 120K)
Why am I thinking of doing so? Well, the 90-93 DA from what I have heard SOME say is that it gets the worst traction wich is the main reason as to why I am thinking about a different chasis. I plan to do a lot of drag racing with the turbo set up after I finish the b18c1 block as im looking to 550whp on c16.
I love my DB2 and prob will end up wanting have it for my "weekend warrior and track car" and love the fact that its very rare and not too many people run the 90-93 Integra at the drag way, but the EM1's have been making me think lately. What would you guys do? I am very **** about cars as I store it in my garage for the winter, do not take it out when it rains, wash it at least once a week, etc. I know that since I posted in the Honda section I will get the Civic > Integra but just curious as to what you all think.!
