Ek or Ls Integra?
Hi Guys I need help in choosing which car to buy... Its either between a clean 1997 Ek Hatch with 60k on the sohc vtech but 170k on the Chassis or a 1995 Ls Integra with a B16 tranny 115K but the car has a full roll cage no back seats no interior no carpet racing seats... PLEASE HELP ME CHOOSE NEED TO MAKE A DECISION Thanks for the Comments!

If the cage is up to SCCA/NASA/NHRA spec, and you plan to race/drag it at the track nearly ever weekend, get the LS. If you think maybe one day you might race it, but for now you just want something fun to mess around with, get the EG.
The EG sounds far more practical for the normal person, but it will depend where your priorities are.

Not nessisarily. Replace all the bushings and boots and get an alignment and you'll probably be okay.

what is that going to do with the mileage of the ek? what he should do is check compression, oil change, spark plug, timing belt, etc.

I'd get the 'teg - more power, aesthetically better looking than the 96+ hatches IMO (anything looks better than them IMO). Though the roll cage is kinda scary in there - they usually cause more harm than good in street used cars.
+ the interior's all stripped out.
I'd take the civic.

He said the body. The engine only has 60k miles.

the teg looks like its been in a wreck before. The front bumper's paint doesnt match, and look at the gaps by the door/sideskirt/driver side fender/etc.

Also look at the door it is sagging.
I would stay away from the integra.
