Default DA guys! school me!

Hey guys, i'm thinking about selling my EK and getting a DA. I've always loved that body style. i'm just wondering what's a good price for a good DA. I plan to go LS-vtec on it, so how would a B18a1 with a GS-R head sound? Thanks in advance for any info you guys could help me with.

does 3K sound about right for a nice RS? i'm also thinking about the GC sleeves with Koni yellows. Anyone know any other suspension setups that available for the G2 models. suspension and motor before anything else.

I paid $2500 for a cherry 91 RS, 182K on the clock but you'd never know it by driving it. Very well taken care of car.

They are favorably classed for SCCA's ITA and Honda-Challenge H4 class. Same class as the CRX Si for both.

Either way the level of prep for both series is very similar, and you will spend $10K (or more) building a competitive car.

as with any car, the driver is going to be 80-90% of the package. Develop that first.

ls,gs have power windows
as well as sunroofs
ALL 91+ LS & GS models have power accessories--mirrors, locks, windows, & moonroofs.

You must've driven a 90 LS , which didn't have power windows or locks but did have power mirrors & moonroof. I had a 90 LS (bought it new, so I'm POSITIVE about this)

personally i would get the 92-93 integras they have better paint jobs stock compared to the 90-91 and the bumpers are better on the 92-93 and its obd1 very friendly for most swaping needs
