Default dc5 to dc2/dc4

So basically I had a 95 integra ls ran into problems sold it and picked up a 04 base auto dc5. So im kind of getting bored of it and don't know what I should do. Should I sell the dc5, which would leave me with enough money to pick up a 5speedd ls or gsr and go turbo or do a k swap & keep it na.... or just keep the dc5 do a few appearance and suspension mods and call it a day. The only reason im debating it is, with the dc2/dc4 comes high miles and always being paranoid of it getting stolen were as the dc5 is a god looking car, has low miles 54k, has a real nice interior but is getting boring. btw the dc5 is paid off.

cliffs:
go from a base rsx down to a integra.
paranoia
high vs low miles
boring vs fun

ive already though of the type-s but im not in a situation right now to be buying a car worth more than what i can get for the base. so its between the the current dc5 or a 94-01 teg.

i'm going to have to say GS-R and rebuild + turbo. an Auto Base is nothing really you can do unless you fork up the cash, engine swap for a k20a, a2, z1 and change the auto to a manual.

BUT

If you can't fork up cash period and you want pure reliability, keep the rsx and in the future buy an rsx-s, gsr or whatever you want that you can mod and have fun with.

thats what im thinking, as far as the base goes im not doing any engine swaps or any major engine work.
