So I have a clean 94' LS with 77k miles. Lowered on H&R springs, koni yellow, skunk2 camber kits, Rota c8s with nitto neo gens, skunk2 short shifter, weighted ****, type R boot, Kenwood speakers, type R replica spoiler, honda 98-01 tails, si-vtec front lip, aem sri, mishimoto rad and slim fan, and greddy se catback.
And this guy wants to trade me his 98 prelude with a JDM Euro R h22a swap. It doesnt have the R trans though. He said the swap has 70k and the body has 175k miles. It has rota grids, megan springs, megan catback, test pipe and header. Also has Alpine touch screen and speakers. In the pictures it looks verrrry clean.
Im just wondering if you guys think I should trade or not. Cash on top or not. I dont know a ton about preludes so tell what you think.
Thanks

 

nope. I have a gsr with mileage like urs and i would never trade for a prelude. keep it man unless u really like his, but 175 on a chassis is still alot of miles on everything but the motor. just think about it a little, but if he is giving cash on his end then thats a different game

 

You would be kind of stupid to trade your GS-R for that, but the OP has an LS. I think the trade is worth it. Unless you plan on putting your LS completly back to stock, and keeping the mileage low on it, and modding a higher mileage Integra, then definitly trade him. I don't know the exact details but looking at the big picture you're getting a newer, 'sportier' car. As for if I had the GS-R I'd keep it, because it's better then a Prelude, IMO.

 

Thats exactly what I told a friend of mine, If I had a gsr I woundnt trade.

 

If both cars are in the same condition, then trade him. Unless yours is in poor condition compared to his and he still wants to trade, more power to you. You need to post up pics and information regarding both cars for us to help you make an accurate decision.

 

 

^thats his and here is mine....

 

umm hell no, preludes are a pain, they are heavy... and a boat.. your integra is clean and has way better parts on it tan his, the only justification is the R swap, which you are not even sure the actual mileage, or whether the **** has been drove out it. i drove a H22a prelude like that, and i wasnt impressed at all, my old automatic db6 felt just as fast..

 

love the teg keep it. dont sell out

 

Both cars are clean. I personally wouldn't trade it just for the simple fact that I have always wanted a white DC.

 

if i have an integra i'll keep it till it break apart that how much i love integra i sold mine before by mistake ! i still regret and dream to have it back everyday ! this come from my heart bro ! KEEP THE TEG ! best thing in life is that driving a teg everyday to school or work !

 

just my two cents, but my buddy had a good running prelude vtec, and that thing was slooow. it definitely does not behave like a 190hp motor

 

ive had cars with high mileage before.. doesnt really make too much of a difference.
INSTEAD
focus on the characteristics of the car, if you like your teg, the way it drives/handles etc, you will not be happy with a prelude. trust me i have had various cars, various tegs. I just left my 03 6 speed maxima for a DC2. I can not be happier.

 

Keep your teg, ludes are heavy

 

god no haha your teg is clean and ludes imo suck, if you want a little more power do what everyone does and ls-v ur teg
