Ok i want to be faster so i was lloking for new cars i found a
1997 white integra type r with 40000 miles on it and its really clean
but they want 13,500$ so my dillema is sell the civic for 10000$ then get a loan for
3500 and buy the integra or use the loan of 3500$ and get a k20 and swap into my civic ?
what would you do

k20 man, newer car, less miles, and faster then someone would think,

dude a 2k1+ Civic are the ultimate sleepers. No one would suspect a new Civic of being fast, but once we get these k20 swaps going it will be just like previous years.

K20A2 Swap!!!

Of course, it's your choice, though. It would be really, really NICE to have a Type R...

But you could, like people have already said, have a really, really nice SLEEPER! Who's gonna suspect you have a K20 under your hood? No one. Imagine pulling up to a Type R... and beating it? The look on their faces is gonna be .

I don't know what I'm saying, I'm just rambling... But I'd go with the swap.

Go with the ITR.. just my .02 though. They will have alot more abiltiy later on when you get more cash.. like engine upgrades, turbo's, suspension.. JDM front end conversion. Plus it's not everyday you see a ITR.

Plus a K20 swap will cost you more than 3500 thats for damn sure!

You'd probably get more attention by a cop if you drive something with a big Type-R in red on it as opposed to a cute little two-or-four-door civic.

A k20A2 swap is gonna cost at least 8,000 with the install and all the motor mounts and whatever else needed. If you just want a faster car go with the integra

type R all the way. what color is it. If championship white, I wouldnt hesitate, and thats pretty damn cheap. Good luck with whatever decision you make though.

A stock faster car might be the teg over a swap.. granted we are lighter, the b18 platform has been thoroughly researched and parts are abundant and moderately priced... the k20 being so new not even just the swap, all parts are just now starting to become readily available and maybe just as expensive.. Of course I love the integra type R and the suspension of that ****er is ***** to the wall which makes me lose my cool everytime it gets put into action by a decent driver.. only thing is i guess is, do you want the classic race car that with a small bit of modding can run down a z28, or a civic with a swap, although a sleeper, it's not obvious that you have a sutpid fast car.. but maybe with the swap and a smaller bit of modding you could run down a z28.. also if you swap look into an lsd becuase the type R is also strong due to the lovely lsd set within the car.

Do the swap. And its going to cost you more than 3500. It will cost you at least 3500 for the K20A2 to swap into your civic.

ITRs are theif magnets. It's a good car and all but to put so much into a car and then have it stolen is kissing your investment down the drain. You're almost guaranteed you won't get it back in a repairable condition.

If you can't afford to garage it, I suggest looking at a different car. Otherwise, it's a car you'd hate to leave alone and worry about coming back to where it was with it not being there.

the biggest issue I have with the type R is that it SCREAMS Steal ME!!! and people don't want the car either, just the parts that make it a type R.
