Whats up new to HT, but i have a dilema and need some advice. I have a 00 Honda civic coupe, 100% stock, but i have a GSR swap ready to be transplanted in. On the other hand i just bought a 98 Honda Prelude for very cheap but it needs a new tranny.The prelude is also dropped already and has a full exhaust, a loud as hell exhaust.
I love the looks and handeling of the lude, its baby blue so it also gets a good amount of attention. If i keep it i would buy a LSD tranny for it. However, i would also love to have a swapped civic, which is lighter and i feel has more potential for work, such as boost down the line. I have the exhaust and straight pipe for the civic, but i would still need a header, clutch, flywheel, shift linkage, axels and mounts to swap it in. So which to keep? Any and all opinions are greatly appreciated.

 

Swap the civic!!!

 

id go with the GSR civic, gsr hatch w/ bolt ons will be faster than the H22

 

I have a civic eg coupe with a b18c1/c5 hybrid. Beat a k20 rsx-s

 

you're bragging about getting attention from a baby blue prelude?

are you male or female?

if you're a chick keep the prelude
if not, yeah, stop driving the cream puff.

 

civic w/ GSR hands down

 

Gsr swap civic. I have and ls/vtec hb and love it. Friend has a lude and its nice but took a lot to be appealing.

 

go with ej with b18!

u have an ej not an eg.

 

I'd go with the lude. Just a nice car and its not gonna be that expensive to fix. But with that tranny, I would also paint it black.

 

if i were u.i will go with gsr swap for a civic.cause it pulls really hard.and much more fun to drive and mod.tons of potential

 

go with the GSR swap, the civic is wayy lighter, and much much easier to work on, and parts are a little easier to come by!! besides you could always chop and drop the coupe and do an LSD too. . . .

 

go with h2b....put in the h22 and use the gsr tranny....way better itll give a k20 swap a run....

 

i am also a fan of h2b if you drop the h22 in the civic w/ gsr tran its ganna b your fastest option, its only 30 or so pounds heavier then b series also and you can always turbo later if it is not enough.

 

GSR civic ..!!

 

I say screw it and keep both. Something down the line may go wrong with one of them and then you'll have a replacement toy while the other is down.

Sure beats switching from a GSR swapped EJ8 dd to a Corolla when you have tranny problems Sorry, a little bitter here...

 

civic with gsr.. i loved mine
