96 integra LS hatchback?

[shakeitsarah]

hey im either goin to get a 96 integra LS hatchback or a 97 civic dx which car would be better do fix up to make it fast n a body kit n stuff?

I'd go with the integra...but maybe cuz I have one. the ls has more options like power windows,sunroof,etc...but the civic is lighter. Body kits on integras suck. There's alot you can do with either but if you want a body kit go with the civic

k thanks which one is better for fixing up as in like performance n engine

I believe the b-series from the integra has more power stock. If you build it up and put a turbo on it, you can really kick some ass. I don't know much about the civic engine, but I know you can transplant the motor from an integra to a civic, but you would also need the tranny, shift linkage and ecu.

I would go with the integra. More power stock, easily modified (so is the civic but whatev). I think the integra looks way sick, and a body kit is not even needed (just drop it). But yeah, i am baised as well.... so go for whatever

IMO, you gotta go with the integ....hands down. In order to want to get any power you are going to want to do a motor swap. I came sooo close to getting a civic, but would have not been happy. Much more power stock and upgrades do twice as much in the tegi as appposed to the civic. Plus transmission kicks ass in the integra....civic meant to be driven from your first time driver to your grandmother. Integra transmission and clutch is for the enthusiast. Just drive them both and then you will be able to make up your mind.
