Maxima or Integra

[Nickkzx]

I drive a 1997 Maxima that I smashed recently so I am selling it. (repaired of course) Anyhow I love the car but want a manual. Recently my friend told me to get an integra with him. An LS model with a civic si head. This makes it comparable with a GSR I think and with a few mods almost as fast as a Maxima with a 5 speed. So if anyone has any Idea on what car...please tell me before I make the big decision =P

Your better off buying a GSR integra than getting an LS with the head swap. Putting the B16a (DOHC VTEC Civic engine) head on the B18b block (DOHC non-VTEC Integra engine) can be done, but its easy to screw it up and cause major head aches futher down the line. Its not a bolt in job, and requires some machine work, and rewiring. If your a profesional engine builder, or are getting a pro to do the work then you have a pretty good chance it will all work, maybe.
However your better off just buying the GSR model, that way you get the B18c which is already a DOHC VTEC, and im pretty sure should be a lot faster than a Maxima, it will cost a little more than an LS, but shouldn't be any more than the cost of the B16a head swap.

Also remember that the Integra is a VERY diffrent car to your old Maxima, its lighter, handles a LOT better, has less room inside, will be a little noisier, etc. Take one for a long test drive first, just to be sure its the style of car you would like to own.

:sun: :sun:

or you could just get a Type R

After talking to people and finding out pro's/con's I hear from people at DYNAMIC autosports that it is done successfully on a regular basis with 0 problems. A maxima however is still faster then these cars according to stats I have seen on a Maxima...so until i find a car, I wont know what I am going to do. And remember teh GSR also has a higher insurance.

That Maxima is ahead of that Integra because the Integra is braking.

[Nickkzx]

The integra was just giving up =)

Thats just a pic of 3 cars driving down a track/road. It dosnt really show anything. The maxima maybe a great car, but its no Sports car, and regardless of how fast you think it is in a straight line round a corner it will get walked on by even a GSR teg, let alone a Type-R.

You drive a Honda Dont you?

Yeah stock, it will get outhandled, but it is far more powersome then any 4 bangin honda except an S2000 obviously. And also check out www.maximadriver.com You would be suprise at what a Maxima can do, sure would whoop your hondas ass in a second!

maxima is a 4 door family car..... a modded Type R could destroy a modded Maxima, stock too

Your just another Moron being decieved by the 4 doors....
Type R 1/4 15.0
Maxima 1/4 15.0

Adding a modification to a v6 motor adds quiet a bit more power just because the engine is bigger it notices bigger gains. Anyhow obviouly a modded type R will take out a stock Maxima, but common sense, two of them with equal mods would be wel equal?

By the way, my original question was SHOULD I GET A LS INTEGRA BECAUSE TYPE R'S ARE OVER PLAYED WHERE I LIVE OR SHOULD I GET A NISSAN MAXIMA. YOU GUYS CAN GO PISS OF WITH YOUR TYPE R BULL SHIT BECAUSE THEY AREANT AS FAST AS THEY ARE PLAYED OUT TO BE

That's not how you talk to an AF senior, you fuckin newbie.... i'm not gunna start flaming you cause that's not the AF way. Type R 0-60mph is around 6.3s while the maxima is around 7.8s. That's a quite a big difference, and the V6 in the maxima won't do shit for you cause the car weighs a fuckin ton more than the Type R.... don't forget about the shit ass handling you get compared with the Type R, the Type R is the best handling FWD car, imagine if you but strut bars on it and other handling mods, that would be an amazing handling car. Equally modded Type R vs. Maxima..... the Type R would destroy.



.............. moron

[gang$tarr]

and how could a type R be overplayed...... they look almost the same as the LS, so therefor in your eyes all integras should be overplayed........ do you know how many type Rs were made? there is no way there are more Type Rs than LS integras where you live, and even if there was, why would you wanna get the shittier car, you would get the shit car just because you think too many people have the good car...... sorry but that's juss dumb

[Nickkzx]

Actually where I live, M3's are the most over played car...you see at least 5-10 a day. Next over played car is the C class mercedes, then like GSR and Type R. There is at least one Lexus at every stop light, excursions are in place of minivans.....so yeah they are over played where I live =)
