Ask in the Integra forum.
IMHO opinion, if you want to be different you could work on a Del Sol. Yeah some say they are girly or what not, but its not too often that you see a really clean DelSol- but can regularly see clean tegs. Weight wise, I still think that the Del Sol weighs a little less or pretty close to the same (correct me if I'm wrong).

del sols are very heavy for their size, with miniature interior space. and they're ugly IMHO</TD></TR></TABLE>
Agreed, heavy for their size, but still less than most DC chassis Integras. I believe ill equipped RS is the only one close in weight. The others weigh almost 100lbs more and some more than that. Depends on what features you are looking for.
You can pick up a Del Sol VTEC- already equipped with a B series platform, 4 wheels disks and sway bars identical to GSR's and that weighs around a 100 lbs less than a DC. Both types are fun cars. I doubt I'd buy a del sol since I have a hatch (weight reduction ownz me! ) but would only buy a DC if it was an ITR.

Re: help deciding on a new car... (JDM CTR EK)
Del Sol. Not as many clean examples running around, plus it does weigh less. Get a VTEC model, and you are well onto your way. Are you looking to road racing(SCCA) or drag? I actually like the lines of them too. I saw a Del Sol with an EG hatch front end and it looked pretty clean IMO.

Re: help deciding on a new car... (4doormadman)
dc2 for sure
i'm hoping to ditch my EG hatch for a dc2 next year after i graduate from school
still deciding if the jdm front is worth the extra $$$

I would personally recommend the del sol. I've owned a DC2 before. Loved it, but ran into too many problems with theft and thieves, so I sold it and bought me an ek hatch.
