im caught up in a problem i want your opinioon please!

I got the option to fix up my eclipse or my integra GSR.
Now im thinking this because its an option but i want an opionion from you guys.

#1 - which would you think would be faster in the end?
#2 - which one you think would look better?
#3 - which one you think could get into the 13/ low 12's for less?
#4 - which one would you do what to?
#5 - Gimme a why to number 5....



i was thinking just go looks with the eclipse with normal bolt-on's but i want your opinion on this subject...

HELP ME!!!!!!!!
 
Well the teg just slung a rod last night...
So the teg is getting a new motor (not new but 50k miles)...

GOD when it did this i just looked at the car and i was CRANKWALK WHAT?!!!? i started talkin crap to the car...

*insane*
 
What motor are you getting for the integra? If you have future plans, get another GSR for SC or just get an LS for turbo. Of course, get the GSR also if your going to keep it N/A.
 
What motor are you getting for the integra? the same motor if they can get it, if they cant ill buy a 1.8ls vtec....

Would rather get the 1.7 again tho because the car ran great!
Im thinking that im not going to turbo that car or SC it because i wanna do all of it to my eclipse...

I think ive made the decision... But also i been thinking that when i bring the eclipse back to the mitsu dealer and get them to check out the syncro's thats when i will decide but i gotta change the tranny fluid before i bring it back.
 
if you do a swap in the gsr that will be faster. thats all your money though. so the eclipse wins because you can turbo it for 3g's and have 3 left over for other mods.
 
Acuras and Hondas are very good if you have money to do engine swaps. Just take that 420a and turbo it and your fine.
 
I think im just going to put another motor into the integra and then just mod my eclipse the way i want ...

Once i get the loan paid off i took out (3g's) im going to take out another loan and do the internals on my motor as well as the turbo...

By this time i should be ok...
I hate my integra!!!
 
dont get me wrong i am dsm fanatic but to be blunt i always thought that the rs stood for really slo or better yet racing "style" ...(didnt quite make it up to racing status...LOL) but i would still have to stick by the gsr versus the n/a eclipse ....:dsm:
 
Well i gotta get another motor for the teggy and im gonna try to get a b17a1 again but if i cant im just gonna shrug it off and get a b18a1 (newer gsr motor...)

I think i would rather do the internals/turbo kit on the eclipse...
