    What do you guys think?

    I am about to sell my 1994 Toyota Corolla for a 1994 Acura Integra. The Acura has almost half the mileage of my Corolla, the body is much better shape (only 2 little rust spots on it, that i'd fix right away, vs. about 10 rust spots on my Corolla). It is going to the Acura dealership up here on Monday to get inspected, and if everything checks out, i'll be buying it... plus, my insurance is actualy $113 cheaper per year for the Integra :)

    Just wondering what you guys think...

    Go for it. If its something you want to do, nothing anyone says will change that. And of course youll get the toyota pride replies though.

    Yeah, it is a 5 speed... its an LS (1.8 liter, non-vtec, 142hp)... but still runs circles around my 105hp 3 speed automatic :)

    The only thing, my Corolla actually handles better than the Integra (but the Integra has a much better ride, and still handles quite good)... gonna miss the Tein H-Techs and the Tokico struts :(

    Yeah, the LS-VTEC (Frankenstein) conversion is tempting... but i dunno... i might just keep it stock... it has enough power for me for now... handles good, very comfy... and just put a good sound system in it...

    I'm not spending 2700$ on a head, i'd rather turbo it for that price... hehe...

    But first thing is first, fixing the few body defects there is on the car, and painting i flat black, then getting the windows tinted... then try to find a good deal on lowering springs and struts... then... engine mods... i think... lol...

    LOL, well, this will be my second Honda product (I had a 91 Civic Si last year, which was a little modified, bored, higher compression pistons, intake, header, exhaust), it ran great... but the body was done, floor was done... and it kept on going through transmissions :(
