prelude vs. gsr vs. gst

[streetracer16]

Hi i am about to purchase a car and do not want to do that much to the enegine i want to put on a intake,exhast,headers, racingchip, and maybe a few other mods...strut bar, lower it etc........ and right now i am picking between 3 cars a 98 eclipse gst, 98-97 intergra gsr, or the 98 prelude vetec now i was wondering which one to buy pros and cons please help!!!!!!!!!!!thanks.

what quater mile times do u think i will get on these cars with the mods on them

gsr has 160 hp prelude 200 hp and a gst and 210. i personally would go for the gst because there more rare and is the fastest

[03'350z]

but try to get a GSX

i would take a prelude or a gsr over a gst any day. my friend owns a gst and he says that he's pushing 260 horse. i dont believe him cause he ran a 14.7 on 1/4 a couple days ago. just my opinion. good luck.

i believe the gsr is 170 hp and the prelude is 195 hp
what will the car be for? work/race/leisure/family??
any of those cars are pretty fast already

mitsubishi are horrible after 100k miles, i know a lot of people with gsx'gst/rs/ eclipses and even a few galants and they have had to replace a whole lot of stuff after 100k, its not worth the money, regardless of the turbo. the lude can be made very fast as well as the integra, they are the more reliable choices and thats what my vote goes towards.

persoanlly i'd take the gst over the others i had the same choices a few years ago when i was about to buy my car. Either of those are ok but all comes down to how well they've been maintained. My gst is well over 100k miles since i've fixed all the shit the prev owners have done wrong, my car has been alright. just be warned, u can have the dependability of a honda or the power of a dsm. and no matter how much work needs to be done to the car, there are tons of dsm guys out there who wre always glad to help. on the other hand, hondas are a lot easier to mod... in most cases

GSR - The modability and the B18 are incredible. You'll get more options. I wouldn't mind having a GSR.

Prelude for the originality though. Tegs are like assholes, everyone has one.

No, you wont. Period. You'll probably need some sort of forced induction to keep up with that league of cars.

[streetracer16]

o ok like a turbo or supercharger yeah i know they r pretty quick i was hoping i would atleast be able to make it a close race, could i keep up with any other mods cause dropping a turbo is really to much money for me to put into the enegine

[dbebesi]

i personally don't like dsm's at all, but there's locals around here that run high 11's low 12's (with quite a bit of modding mind you). you'd be really hard pressed to get a lude or teg that fast in the quarter. as far as keeping up with evo's and sti's.... buy one.

sorry but gst engines die...its called crank walk, heard about it alot, prelude is money, and integras are everywhere

no u wont, i have a friend of mine who has a h22 swap in a 92 civic si that runs mid 13's, a buddy who has a 94 impreza that runs 13's all naturally aspirated.
