91 CRX Si or 91 Integra?

[bigbadboss101]

I know these are different cars. 2 seats vs 4 seats. No power options nor A/C versus loaded.

Let say the number of seats or doors do not matter, what would your preference be? I am in the market for a 90-02 Acura/Honda and are looking at a few prospects. Stock CRX Si and Integra non-vtech.

Insurance would be higher on the Crx I assume. How about stock handling? Gas mileage would be better on the Crx.

Anyone have experience with swaps in these? eg. Type R or GSR engines in them.

Thanks.

I'm obviously biased but I would say Integra. Why would you take a civic over an integra anyways?

CRX will be way more fun to drive, but you won't have all those creature comforts.

Both cars will suck if swapped. The integra is too heavy and the CRX can't use stock mounts.

CRX is alot lighter, will handle better stock. You can put any motor in either of them. Best bang for buck would be a dohc zc in the crx and use the stock tranny, etc... or swap a b16 and have fun.

Integra you could go gsr, but the first gen cables are getting rare, and the newer jdm gsr's are alot more than a b16.

B16 civic/crx > B18C Integra


I may be biased though, I have owned 3 EF's now.

I think you know the answer judging by my username. ;)

Hehe.

I like the 91 4 door GS I had. Should have kept it. Owned a ITR 2000 for a while and then went out of town to work.

Anyone have experience with ITR engine in the CRX?

CRX is a tin can car that is fun to drive. The Integra is a tin can car that is sort of annoying and mildly fun to drive.
