From someone who has owned both, get the Integra. The Integra is what the Civic tries to be. You don't see people putting D-series motors and Civic interiors into their Integras for a reason. The weight difference doesn't matter: the Integra is more comfortable, better handling, better braking and faster than the Civic and it'll come with AC and PS and cruise, etc.

If you want it to be fast, turbocharge it to 10 pounds and get it tuned. Done deal.

I'd swap it. Look at it this way.

You know your car, you know what's wrong with it and you know what needs to be fixed.

With this GS-R, you know nothing about it. It could be a big can of worms.

Swap the hatch.

Teggy is a better car. More comfortable, roomier, just nicer. Has enough power to have fun with it.
Hatch will be faster, but not as nice (overall imo). If you are a hatch guy, then swap the hatch.

I'd get the teggy, specially if it's a GSR. Nice platform for upgrades (suspension, that's my thing )

I had to even it up at 9 votes a piece. Your hatch will always be lighter that the Teg. Unless you like the looks of the 'Teg better, you can get just about any swap for less that $4g's (and be faster with any of them).
