I'm stuck between these three cars: two integras and a CRX.

One integra has a JDM B18c motor, the other has (I believe) the stock engine but has it chipped, turbo'ed, the whole nine yards, mostly new. Lastly, the CRX is, in my friend's opinion, a "****ing Beast"; its engine has a F23 block with a H22 head. The CRX's parts are also brand new. All three are cars I can afford, I'm just very torn over which one I should get. I won't be racing, but I do like to have fun on the highway. This will also be my first car, but I don't think that's a large factor because i've driven many cars, and a truck, and have experience with both auto and manual trannies. Which car should I get?

3 Powerful cars.

Not a fan for them becoming your first car.

The rumor that you always wreck your first car in relatively valid. I killed my ranger a few months after i got my license due to in experien in bad weather.
Remember "$H!T HAPPENS"

 

Well i say its between the crx and the chipped jdm tegy. dont get that RHD thats probaly not a good 1st car. ( I like that jdm integra tho its sexy )

 

I think the JDM 'Teg will be the most costly to insure because, to me, it looks worse than the CRX and it's also a right-sided drive. Why is the RHD (the red teggy i'm assuming) a worse first car than either of these two?

 

Oops nvm, I just realized what you meant Mr.ef8. Yeah I agree, that JDM RHD might seriously **** me over on insurance and in handling.

 

I wouldn't really sug any highly modified car. Their a lot of problems that can come up plug you know the owner prolly beat the living dog **** out of it. Ontop of that you don't know how taken car of or wiring or junk like that can go wrong. Like what happens if the tune goes bad.

I would sug just getting a stock car and doing it yourself. You'll have more fun and more apriciation for the machine.

 

get a car you wont die in

and thread reported for being in the wrong section read rules please

 

So I have to post exclusively CRX in this section? No comparisons? My bad.

 

no, this the TECH section
its kool we just get alot of threads in the wrong sections and mods let it get crowded up unless reported nothing against you just need to follow the rules

 

greatly put

 

IMO, the turbo Integra looks to be the most well put together, clean and reliable. With 200+whp/wtq, you'll have plenty of power, especially for a first car. The other Integra looks like a piece of **** that wasnt put together all that well. The CRX would probably be fun, but just not my cup of tea for a CRX.

Good luck and I wouldnt limit yourself to just those three cars. Unless you REALLY want one of those three, keep your options open. Get something that you can't live without!

If you want a good first car with great performance capabilities.

Get a 92-93 EX CB7 (Accord)
That is what i had for my first car and it was amazing! I guarantee you will not regret the purchase.

 

you will wreck whichever of these three you get, seriously dont get a hot rod for a first car

 

rhd would be cool but try to find a real nice factory or close to factory crx si. its fun doing stuff yourself and you`ll know stuff is done correctly

 

Thank you all for your input, it looks like that Red 'Teg is the way to go if at all, though i'll probably heed the majority and get something stock haha.

 

HMMMM i wouldnt get the turbo teggy for ur first car man... if u always wreck first car.. unfortunatly.. still got mine... but i mean for ur first car dont get nothing to fast.. PLUS.. MAIN REASON TO GET A STOCK CAR IS u do NOT know how the other guy wired his car... or what he rigged in his car u know... and then if somethin goes wrong u gotta figure out what he did and all this other stuff... u know so that my input...

GEt a stock car and do the work ur self
if u got 5 Gs get a nice EF hatch or EG hatch and drop a B18 in it it would be about the same price as getten the turbo integra... if u get it from Hmotors and if u put it in a EF ull prob be doing like 13s Stock easy cause my bros b16 stock in his CRX was doin Low 14s high 13s...... and i dont care what any one says a 13 sec honda is fast for a new driver **** its fast ingeneral since all u did was put a new motor in and theres PLENTY of stuff u can do to make it faster.... just my advice Gud luck what ever u get Keep us informed
