So i'm having a big debate with myself over what to do for a DD/project car. Currently i own a 92 integra gs and a 89 civic hatchback si, both have b18a1 manual transmission in them. Only problem is i love both cars but i want to actually want to work on one of them (budget wont let me build them both right now).

Both cars have there share of pros and cons but i would like HT to help me out with their opinions on what everyone thinks i should do (doesnt mean ill do what everyone wants, i am my own person with my own opinions but i want a "2nd opinion" on my ideas). Both cars need body work (typical honda/acura rear corner panel rust) other than that they have their own small issues i want to work on before building it for boost (turbo or supercharge which isnt common to do supercharger wise).

Pros/Cons of each:

Civic:
Pros: Light weight - b18a1 5 speed swap - Have DA hubs to do full disc brakes
Cons: No power windows/door locks/steering, no alarm, needs rust removal, Seats are torn up (have temp covers on them so they look ok), fighting a cold start issue, needs distributor/main relay from intergra to run, needs alignment

Integra:
Pros: A/C, working cruise control, Power everything doors/windows/steering, Alarm with keyless entry, interior is mint
Cons: Cracked windshield (still drivable), needs rust removal, needs alignment, heavier than the civic with same motor/transmission setup

 

Pics of both:

 

I vote to modify the civic. But I am biased owning two of them

 

sell the civic and dd your teg.

its got creature comforts and less work to keep running apparently, judging by what you stated in pro and con.

mod something with no rust.

 

sell and buy a newer Prelude. Keeps the coupe trend, adds GOBS of power, vtec, a beefy transmission, and LEATHER.

 

Although the motor in that civy is really clean i'd say sell it and build up the teggy. Just my personal opinion.

 

I love civic but id get rid of it and keep the integra just my opinion

 

I'd sell both and move up to an ITR.
