I'd go with the swap. Like hell I'd pay $12K+ for either of those cars. The Lude was ok, though.

i was driving along and i noticed my temp gauge was going up, i thought it went up in temp cause i knew i have a short, and the temp gauge would go up when i push the cigarette lighter in and would drop as soon soon as it was relaesed. well thats how it started and soon i realised that the temp gauge was now telling me i had a full tank of gas i was scared, cause its not supposed to be that high. i stopped, turned off the car. i popped the hood, and to my dismay, i notice smoke/steam coming from below the distributor ( i thought i fried something), but i looked closer and realised that my tranny had water/oil/antifreefe pouring over it, and then i checked my oil and noticed that it resembled choclate milk.

so today i go and get an estimate on to how much damage i did( just for the hell of it)
-blown head gasket
-cracked block
-timing belt
-water pump
-new radiator
-misc parts
-labor
for a grand total of 4326.50(give or take alot since, shit actually it will be a lot more than that, since this is only an estimate)

That Integra in the link is .

That prelude is kinda sexy.

Motor swap is a good deal in my opinion based on where I live. I sold my b18c1 for $3100 complete. Yours will cost a tad bit more [not even $100] and comes with warrenty AND is an SirG.

Keep us posted!

Once again, that Integra is fuggly.

Ok I'm sorry, I love my 'teggy and wouldn't trade it for the world (alright I lied, I'd give it up in a heart beat for a 240 or 300) but I wouldn't pay 12 grand for one. I'd go with the motorswap or that SI

that integra isnt ugly. i kinda like it. wither way i wouldnt pay 12K for it. the lude is nice, if you dont mind high insurance.

get a B16 or a B18B and trubo it. you could do that for less then 4300. people around here are doing that. we have 2 89 civic hatchbacks running with B18Bs and Trubo. spent less then 3600$.
