Just wondering the thoughts on what i should do... should i keep my car N/A and buy a bike to play with.. or should i keep going on with the turbo project and turbo the integra and say pee on the bike??? Let me hear some opinions!!!

if you want something that you can drive in the winter/rain/cold day etc. build your car

if you want something that is fast, has no radio, and is really only good to ride in good weather, go for a bike.

bike > turbo'd integra


if u want speed get a bike, ur car will never match it


since u have a car already, and it goes from point A--to--B

get the bike, u won't regret it

wow mixed opinions.... by the way.. id be keeping my car for everyday driving... so the bike would be just for pleasure.... if i had the money id do both... but that seems a little unrealistic.

I'd say turbo the car!! You'll get excited with the thrust on a bike but it's just pure joy to feel the same thrust on a car.... weelll, not really same thrust but you'll get the idea....

So I take it you must be single with no kids and possibly living at home then...?:rofl:

Get the bike and turbo the car with the insurance settlement... :rofl:

i didn't think iwould like riding as much as i do. it's awsome nothing faster then a bike.

but i think it all depends on what you use it for, i ride to work everyday downtown. so it's free to park and if i drove it would be 15 bucks.
i don't think i would buy a bike just to have.

goodluck

Buy a bike, if you plan on being responsible about it. The more good bikers out there, the safer it is for all of us.

I had the same question for my prelude a while back, I went with the bike and am not regretting it one bit. While a turbo may be fun, it cant compare with a bike.

I donno man its a tough call, i like having a quick car but I also really mis having a bike. I would probably stick with the car since its less dangerous :dunno:

Buy the bike. try it for a while and if your not satisfied sell it. its alot easier than putting a turbo in your integra using it and then taking out to sell it if your not happy with it.

Oh yeah... most bikes will get better fuel economy than comparable cars. Modern 600s sit between 30-40mpg, depending on how hard you flog them. My Sherpa makes about 70mpg, but it's just about the smallest engine you can buy and still do Deerfoot speeds.

If Kawi would release their diesel-engined military KLR650 to the civilian public... well, hell, you'd forget where the gas cap was.

Turbo the Integra mikey, its already to late to get a bike, you'll have like a month of riding. you can enjoy the car year round if you turbo it

i was in the same situation, i said fuck the bike and now im saving for the rest of my turbo kit

I think i may do both... the imput has helped.. the bike isnt that much money and i already have the turbo.. just need to put it in and get the tuning done... which we all know cost money too... hopefully ill drive the n/a integra till i can drive the bike next year then start the turbo project and ride the bike... thats what im thinking.... havent had any offers that were realistic for my turbo setup anyway.... whats the use on getting rid of it for nothing??

do the turbo, way better investment than a $2'000 bike. A bike can get you across Medicine Hat in 2 seconds, but you have to put it away and wait until may when the roads are ice free and gravel free. Plus it's a lot easier to hurt yourself on a crotch rocket. Do the turbo, you'll have the fastest integra in town and then... paint your front bumper.

Good call papps, if you notice its all the non-bikers saying "turbo the car", they just haven't been properly educated yet. Let me tell you, you won't see one person with a bike telling you to do that. Have fun on your new purchase............
