    So what you're asking is, what should you get right now if you don't wait to get the RSX? Am I right?

    Well, other than the Prelude and Integra....how about the Nissan 240SX. The drift scene is causing the price of RWD cars up, but you can still get these reasonably cheap. What do you plan to do with the car? If you've read this forum much you know that even in the small group, the sense of style differs greatly. What do you mean by electrical? And speed ImportFan can be squeezed out of any machine.

    I would definitely go fot the Prelude, because although it is a very "sportive" car, it is not as radicall as a Integra. And if you're going to use it everiday, you certainly would love to have some comfort specs in it. And as it has a less "screamer engine" it would porbably last more.

    Anyway I hate both cars and would go for an older BMW.


    Hope you get a good deal!!

    Yes, I would definetly go for a RWD car, hell i wouldnt even consider a FWD one
    Really if your looking for speed RWD (or AWD) is the way to go.

    get a 240sx + engine swap!(sr20det is easiest, just need engine and couple of other stuff, or you can always go with a turbo and 300rwhp on stock internals).

    anywayz, i'd take the predule over the integra, the integra is almost like the civic, 2 riced compared to the predule.

    the preludes are okay, i dont like the final gereration ones, i like the ones before that though. personally, id go with the integra. it's a little ligher, which is a definite advantage when your engine isn't pushing big numbers on the torque scale.

    I'd get a b18c for it, stuff a Crower 2.3l stroker kit in it, hook up a Jackson Racing supercharger, and have fun.

    Electrical, not sure what you mean...neither is going to be easy to work on...

    Styling, I couldn't say. That's a very personal decision.

    240SX would definitely be my choice. Then i'd take it away, and smoke off the Civics no sweat
