project car

ok, so i need additional speed and style and am thinking about a project car ... what do you all think: 98-2001 integra gsr, 02-2004 rsx-s, or a 99-2000 civic si? i want to keep a naturally aspirated setup so i narrowed my choices down to these 3 options. PLEASE DON'T POST ABOUT OTHER VEHICLES YOU MIGHT WANT, SIMPLY CHOOSE ONE OF THE ABOVE AND STATE WHY.

thanks,
vinny

out of them all I kinda like the integra for the gsr motor. however you could do a civic and do a gsr swap in it. also depends what style you like. you could do a sweet jdm dc2 front end conversion to the integra. need a little more info on what kind of stuff you would like to do to this project car.

I voted for RSX-S because none of the above wasn't available. All of them are very expensive platforms for modding.

Just buy a DC2 shell and put a K24A into it. Best bang for your buck. It's unbelievable what TSX motors can be had for.

i'm leaning towards the gsr myself ... i know i want to stay n/a, but i'm still filtering through ideas as far as the goals and aims of the project - that's why i asked you all to chime in

I pick RSX-S for nearly the same reason. I've been studying up at k20a.org and its pretty cool what some of these guys are doing all motor on an old chassis. Look for the CRX w/ the K24a2.

At least w/ the RSX-S you're getting a K and TONS of options, plus a fresher platform, but it will be expensive as hell compared to nearly every other option.

If it were me I'd go american. Just sayin.

I say the RSX-S, get K-Pro and a Turbo. You'll be a happy camper.
