Default Should i keep my DA?

i have a 90 integra GS that i bought last april it has 220 Km on it. iv put close to 5 g 's in it so far, but the engine is still a b18a with 220 and stock tranny. there is no rust at all, might need a new paint job soon. my question is it worth keeping? i would like to do a engine swap in the future, but will it last me? chassis is still almost 18 years old.. what are your opinions???
Thx

thats barely 110k miles. it will last at least twice as long as that as long as you keep good care of it.

With no Honda cancer and that mileage, I'd say keep it. Tons of potential, and tons of aftermarket support. Your pros definitely outweigh your cons, as far as I'm concerned.

I'd keep it.

Like said above, take care of it and it'll last another 100k easily.

Keep it. My DA has 254,xxx miles on it, with routine maintenance and upgrading older worn parts it still runs like a champ. Your car will last you much much longer if you take care of it, and in my opinion the DA body style is the best looking integra.

I had my DA for 11yrs and was fun to watch it go (axe, hammers, drills, kicks, etc). I would suggest to not keep it. For the money you will sink into the car you can purchase something newer and more up to date. Get a lil more oomphf out of the box as well as some luxury. Sure you may end up with a car payment but it's a car payment vs a maintenance payment.

I've driven the DA for 11yrs and currently am driving a G35. More power out of the box, leather luxury, everything works all the time, etc. Very reliable and if you want head stares just slap on some wheels and you're done.

Trust me. Sell the car. Get something better.

i have a DB2 with a 80k on a B17 with bolt ons.
if i were you id look as for keeping the b18a1 and add any b16 head. and even with the GS gears it will be very well worth it. . just dont get rid of it to get an EG. DA's can look better and have power seat belts

I say keep it, depending on what your ideas for another car are.. i ditched mine for a 2006 STi that i ended up not being able to afford, i miss having a fun car and not having a car payment.. if anything keep it and get another car if you really feel like you want something else.. its practically a free car, especially since youve put so much into it.. i put over 10G's into my old one and i get on Honda-tech every day hoping to find someone who has my old one so i can buy it back..

summary: keep it
