Is this your first honda?

If so, keep the teg with that motor, put some money into the suspension, and learn to drive it quickly like that.

After finding out what you like or don't like about the b18b motor, and doing some research on here via the search feature (click archives), then look into the possibility of an engine swap or turbo, etc.....

welcome and good luck with whatever you decide to do with your teg

Dont worry about the miles. Get a compression test done to see how the engine is holding up. Miles mean nothing on a honda if it has been properly mantained. Forget the GSR swap. Put the money into a turbo setup. If you want to go fast turbo the ls.

And if you want some good info, great help, and awsome reading join http://www.team-integra.net

I would sell it and find a 5 speed, unless you'd be doing the labor for an auto to manual swap.

Well, be prepared for 2 grand for an auto to manual swap. Then another 2-3 grand for a swap. Assuming that YOU won't be the one doing the work.

yah, Auto to manual swap is not worth it,


Go ahead and start looking around.

I got my 90 itnegra rs with a locked tranny for $650 cash
It came with K&N intake, Magnaflow echuast and a 6puck stage 3 clutch with 3K miles on it,


You can find an Integra for $2,000

Look at the 90-93 Integra's.
There a little bit older and might need a tiny bit more work but well worth it.

insurance is cheaper, theft is less likely (Less, Mine was stolen and recovered)

Its all up to you.


Miles, 135K, thats nothing,

Mine is 127K and thats low miles,


My last Integra had 238K miles when I sold it,
and I just talked to the owner today about it and its still great.


Hondas run forever it taken car of,
Love them and they will love you back

1800 good deal, but im pretty shure for that price it got a **** load of problems. depends, who you buy it from? if it was some old couple then its coo, if it was a kid or younger dude then it may have problems. if you really want stick sell it and get a stick. auto to manual not worth it. dont do a swap thats stupid. if you wanna swap get an EG and swap a motor in it. btw your just 16, dont put all your money into your car espeically your first one. youll need that money for other **** once you turn 18 BAM real life hit you with all sorts of money robbing responsibilities

I just bought a 94 teg also, put intake/exhaust and tein super streets on it right away. Going from a hybrid h22 motor with decent suspension, this thing handles on rails. I guarentee you will have a lot of fun with a nice suspension set up.

haha...it's cool to research the turbo kit and look into it, but best bang for the buck will be in your suspension and learning to drive it well, like I said above.

I have a friend on here who had an automatic LS, and he did the suspension/chassis, then used the car for autocrossing and daily driving...had a lot of fun with it.

Then in a year or so, when you are ready to move on to something else, put back on the stock suspension, sell the teg here on HT, then take your quality suspension with you to the next teg that you buy with a b18c1 or turbo
