What do you guys think of these? I may have to get one for my commute to school and get rid of the camaro. The ones I've been looking at are just stock LS, non vtec and i wouldn't rice it out. I would put nice exhaust and lower it but that's about it. Let me know what you think.

 

great commuter car. cheap enough that if you crash it dosent hurt you much and engines are easy to come by and repair. If it is gonna be a commuter then just leave it stock when you lower it you will hurt the ride quality and that exhaust will give you attention from the boys in blue

 

The thing is I'd have to get rid of my camaro for it so I'd want it to be somewhat fast

 

They aren't too fast. I raced one in my Intrepid (full-size sedan) and beat it while I was driving to school. So they aren't that fast.

 

An Intrepid is not fast....

 

Lots of aftermarket support great gas mileage not a bad looking car very reliable. Probably faster than a 2.8L camaro if it is a 5 speed integra.

 

That's....what...I ..infered...? That's the reason why I said that the integra is slow. I wasn't bragging even though the Intrepid does have 200 hp which is enough to edge out V6 Mustangs and some third gens...

 

Yea they are not too fast 130hp in 90 and 91 then 140 in 92 and 93. Still more HP than some third gens but nothing special. The 2500-2600 lbs curb weight does help some. Most people just do vtec head swaps then a small turbo. Others just get one of the many turbo kits around and make them quick with the factory head. Either way I like integras they make a great budget daily driver.

 

good for what you wanan use it for. I wanna get something like this. Im shooting for a 96-99 integra or civic. might put a cold air intake on it, maybe header. but thats it. no loud exhaust or anything. try to get 35 mpg or more on it. I drive a few hours away often so the camaro eating up the gas. plus the miles being put on it.

 

if you swap the engine to say b16/ b18 you will still have a 15 sec car maybe high 14s with Bolt ons. they where never really ment to be a high performance car. the best thing you can do to that kind of car is swap the engine to a b18 and rework the suspension for more road racing type driving. While they are not screamers in a straight line a good set of coil overs on the double wishbone suspension, high performance brakes, a high revving engine like the b18 with a nice 5 speed gear box and you will have a real fun car on the twisty roads and a car that can get you out of trouble like road hazards on your commute
