Default trade shell?

So, im kind of in a tough position. Im debating on weather if i should keep my 95 hb shell or trade it for a vx shell. Both clean title.

So, you ask me why i would i want to trade shells?. Weight, after reading this https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=150315 and personal experience of getting beat by 92-93 gsr swap vx, cx with my itr swap hatch.

My vehicle conditoin is 9/10 stock interior and 8.5/10 exterior.


Not sure about other vehicle yet, will start searching when i make my final decision.

What do you think i should do???

The real question is, which one do you personally like MORE?

That's all that matters. You have to see it, drive it, and be happy with it every single day, not for just one win or one loss.

The car is going to be a DD. Technically, did't lose to the other hatches. They have more mods so it was not fair and my car is not full itr swap just yet.

There is nothing wrong with my car at all. Run and drives excellrnt, maybe one of the reason i want to do this is leanring experience. Going to be first swap and have my cousin who is in town that's going to be staying for the week.

I don't know. I might have to sleep on it. Anyone else thought on this?

Yeah your right. I am using that as an excuse. And i did knew what i going against. But instead of having the stock gsr header and si piping on my car, remove ac and pw. Guarantee they would have there *** handed to them in a heartbeat.

Your oem header and piping is really holding you back. Also you might want to switch to a hi-flow cat. Do you have a intake?
