1994 Acura Integra RS.
no ABS.
no SUNROOF.
i believe no power windows and what not.
lightest integra ever made.

just get the BSQ type r rear sway bar kit, some coilovers, and aftermarket rims and tires and your suspension will be either comparable or superior than a type r.


approx car price 2800
AEM or Comptech icebox 150 used?
gsr bareblock 250-350
balanced/micropolished LS crank (from the RS block) 150?
eage LS rods 300
jdm itr pistons with rings 220
gsr head complete 500-600
all new bearings/seals 200-300?
ITR 00-01 or CTR cams 300-400
cam gears 150-260
obd1 gsr or type r ecu w/kenji or mugen program 180-250?
new timing belt 100?
ITR tranny 1100-1300
clutch 200-300?
DC JDM header 400?
cat? yes, no? LOL
exhaust ????

omnipower coilovers 650 ?
bsq kit/type r rear sway 140-160?
rota slips or similar on falken azenis 700-900?

so there you go, barely 9 grand you got a type r spanker, all around.
power, handling, but ..i dunno about aesthetics.

depends what u really want man...
but a 94 rs is cheap to insure as well.

I think you should get a eg hatch with a good body and good interior for 2500-4000 and then spend 4 getting a b18c or 4500. After that you are left with around 5k to spend. And since this is a NA post you could either work on the top or bottom end first. If you work on top end first i suggest you get valves,springs,retainers,cams, and cam gears installed. Then get a hondata and tune that mother. Or you can buy tires/rims, suspension, then i/h/e for your b18c and then what ever you have left get the retainers, springs, cams, gears and valves and hondata. If you cant afford all that after the rims/tires, suspension and what ever i would save up till you can, buy all the parts at once and then save up a little more for the installation. While your saving back up for the installation you will have fun with your b18c, be pretty fast and you know you have more parts ready to be thrown in there. I think thats better than spending 14k on an ARRRR.

DOnt get an integra they are too heavy.

either 94 integra RS like the guy up there said, or a 92-95 hatch. And drop a k20 in there. Bolt ons, electronics, tuning, and suspension work and your ready to go.

k20 I think my plan is perfect. If you are upgrading everything the b18c is the b18c5. I say go my way. Youll have more fun in a light hatch.

you could save up $3K more and buy my hatch

2.088L ITR swap...all custom internals, 98 DX hatch body (black), SSR Comp wheels, and I'll toss in a set of BRAND NEW Weld Magnum w/24.5" slicks on them and a 2 vx wheels for the back.

with a decent driver...should easily hit 11's as is

Invest it for a year in a CD. Then put a down payment on a nice condo or house.

Acura Integra Type R is what I meant, really nice car, chics dig it.

Really depends on what you want, if you want just performance and don't care about looks, AC and power windows you can get a 92-95 Civic hatchback and invest rest of the money in the motor and suspension, and have one of the fastest imports around.

There is many things you can do, search, search and search.
Good luck.
