Ok... firstly... very nice to see a Honda fan...
secondly... cut down on the 'yall s' I couldn't help laughing throughout ur post...
thirdly... how the hell did u get ur avatar pic to be so big!?
And finally to answer your question... go for the Prelude.
Till last week.. I had underestimated the performance capabilities of a stock Prelude.
Here in Qatar we only get 4 door Integras so it is not very popular... its more like a family saloon. I'm not a big fan of the 2 door Integra either... I don't like its looks.
I thought my stock accord can keep up with a stock prelude... until it just overtook me like a freakin rocket... I'm sure the Integra is not that good... not the 4 door anyway.... this is just my opinion.
BUT... you do have to consider what you are using it for... if its going to be used more for a family thing go for the Integra (again im talking about the 4 door version we get here)... but if its for performance... I think the prelude... plus its not too hard to customize... Hope u make the correct choice.

YAY another user that uses "y'all" in their posts.

Anyways, I'd take an Integra over a Prelude. From what I am to understand they are better in the twistys and accelerate about just as good. Go for an Integra Type R, but if you can't afford that I'd suggest an LS model. With the LS you get the 1.8 liter engine choice with the best torque, and then you can swap on a B16A head from a Civic Si engine, and you'll have VTEC for the high engine power. Also there are ton's of products on the market for the Integra, good amount of products for the Prelude too, but no where near the Integra. Get yourself a good suspension package and do the LS engine with the B16A head and modify the engine slightly, and you'll have yourself a fun, quick, great handling, reliable everyday car.

Errr, thats quite a hard one, but if I had to take one it would be the Integra as a new Acura RSX (in Japan it's the Integra), and the mid 1990's Prelude if I was going to pick that one. Either way, you can't go wrong!

when you're talking about style and racing, I hope you don't mean turning it into a rice cooker that does illegal street racing.

I've always had a soft spot for the last gen Integra. Especially the Phoenix Yellow Type-R's. But those are probably out of your budget. There's a million aftermarket parts for either Prelude or Integra. Just stay out of the APC catalog. Find a GOOD (not clubsi.com- the good information is lost between all the 'my Civic runs 15s y0' posts) forum for whichever car you go with.

But as for which is better, the best advice I can give is buy whichever you can afford and like the looks of best. And make sure you can afford not only the car, gas, and insurance; but also the eventual repairs that come with car ownership. I learned that one quick. Since June, I've replaced the transmission, clutch, starter, and throttle body on my Golf. Totals close to $1500 on a car worth ~$3000.

And please, please, please- keep racing off the streets. There's plenty of 1/4 mile strips in the south, and I'm sure you can find an Autocross club in your area.

Preludes are hort! pity their image is tarnished by "fully sick" ricers and "Yeh show us your t!ts!" idiots...

[escort mexico]

integras....they sound so good

[IWantAnAudiRS6]

Preludes are hot! pity their image is tarnished by "fully sick" ricers and "Yeh show us your t!ts!" idiots...

Agreed, but that's life. The ricers don't deserve cars that good, in fact they deserve to be shot.
