Default EG to DA

I have an EG hatch, almost bone stock. And theres a guy that wants to trade a 92 DA Teg Special Edition, with a 98LS motor for my car and on top of that extra cash for my car. Is it worth it? Or should I keep my car and swap it?

special edition? I would keep the hatch and swap a DOHC into it. Now its just up to you in which motor you want to go with.

Personally, for me.. It would be a tough call, my favorite Integras have the DA chassis. However, if I came down to it.. I think I'd keep the EG.

They're both about the same condition. A few things here and there can be fixed. body wise on both cars. Plus I havent had time to do anything to the EG and honestly, I think its time for a change. Plus I like Integras.

Got the Teg. :-\ I think I might regret it later. I love that EG. Oh well. I can always get another one, right? Just got a bit of work ahead of me with this DA. Its pretty fast though, which I like. Way too low for my taste though. But hey, thats life. People always end up doing something they dont like in life but enjoy later.

weird, i just did the opposite. traded my DA for EG, my DA was damn near perfect but traded it for the EG, it needs work but in the end i will be happier.

good luck!

Hey dude it is all good. I once had an EG hatch and I got attached. Ride got totaled by a drunken friend w/out me knowing it. (currently not friends w/him anymore) I then aquired a DA. At first I did not think much of it but as time passed I fell in love with it. It looks awesome, not too old not too new. Insurance rate are awesome, mileage is great, and possibilities are a tad more expensive due to discontinued items. But you will love it in the end. I really dont think you downgraded if thats what you're wondering. Do some major upgrading to the suspension, get a decent paint job w/some add on's, and you are already pimpin it. Good luck w/your DA.
