I would trade it if I were you.. If you dont like it you can always trade it for another 240 in the future.. I have a turbo ls/vtec EF hatch and it is really fun to drive and Way faster then my 240. Thats just IMO though.. If you do you should sell/trade me the seats and lip off your S13(he'll never know hehe).. plus I got alot of honda parts we could deal with.

i'm going to assume that most hardcore 240sx owner is going to say no, but there are those other 240 owner who has a honda, then of course they would tell you to do it. i'm against it too....... those model integra freaking ugly ....

I had a 91 DA9 Integra Hatchback LS. I had a B18C (GS-R) under the hood and I sold it for my 240SX. Depend on what you want. B16A is a very good motor. And I have Rebuild many of them. Not because they are broken but because people want a Turbo so you got to lower the Compesion. Since it is a Petty high one.

I would stay with a 240SX. I love my 240SX more then Any car I have Own.

hey zombieman these model integs are tight. they look better, cleaner and not as played out as the newer ones. plus those models kinda remind me of the s13's, you know the coupes from japan, with the front headlights....what you think..

if they you get it cause it reminds you of a 240 coupe, just sell your 240 fastback and get a coupe. b16's blow up. especially with turbo's. good thing they are cheap to replace.

id stay 240, just get a different one. here's the cars ive owned:

86 omni87 caravan90 shadow76 jeep cj574 jeep cj583 chevy fullsize truck89 chevy s1083 chevy s1086 ranger88 ranger72 datsun 51090 240sx89 civic hatch88 civic hatch94 integra gsr85 bmw 318i86 bmw 325......yeah, it doesnt matter, i can go on. im 21 by the way. of all those cars and then some, my 510 and my 240 are my favorites. now if i could find a truck i like as much, ill be set.

I'd say trade it. The B16a and the turbo in a teg would price tag for a few more grand. If you don't like it, sell it. I'm pretty sure you will find a honda owner that wants a b16/turbo. The system (b16/turbo) alone you can sell for around 4500 so what do you have to loose?

thanks for the imput and replies...i'm still in the process of thinking over this transaction... i don't think i ever felt a car handle like my 240 before..so i think i'm gonna miss that.. and that is on some tein springs and aftermarket shocks only.

thats a good point, you could probably get more for the integra, expecially if you parted it out. just dont expect to get 4500...thats not gonna happen. get some pics so we can get a better idea of what this teg actually looks like, ive seen some hack jobs that fit into your description, as well as nice cars too

get the teg

then you can sell it for crazy amounts of money to those 2Fast 2Furious fanatics that want a honda so bad, and with that money from the 'teg, buy a better 240sx.
