94 Integra GSR or 94 Prelude VTEC

I seriously cant decide between the two.. Which one would you choose and why?

1994 Prelude VTEC
- H22A1
- 190bhp @ 6800rpm
- 158tq @ 5500rpm
- 2932 lbs
- 22/26 mpg (city/hwy)

1994 Integra GSR
- B18C1
- 170bhp @ 7600rpm
- 128tq @ 6200rpm
- 2667 lbs
- 25/31 mpg (city/hwy)

I duno, I guess the B series motor has more aftermarket parts available, but then there is a lot less 4th gen preludes than tegras... The prelude also has leather interior and I don't think the GSR's do. Then again, the tegra gets better gas mileage.. haha give me some opinions

go with the prelude sr-v, there are just too many integeras out on the street. Also, don't worry bout aftermarket parts, I'm sure there is some great support for the H22.

Hmm so GSR : 3, Prelude : 2

Does the GSR handle much better than a 4th gen lude?

H22's suck IMO, and yea Type R is one of best handling cars in our class, umm...reasons why I'd get 94 Integ over Lude, first off I dont really like that year look of the Lude, and if leather seats is all your worried about, just hop onto ebay and buy some GSR leather seats for about 2 bills man...umm also OBd1 kicks *** on those integs so you got advantages for upgrades, and yes wayyy more parts for the b series motors, I have a integ myself and I love them, they got some *****...although I did pass up a 95 GSR for a 94 LS, I just swapped b20 into my LS and run just as fast as times as GSR's just not as good high end

obd1 is hmm i guess way to explain it is like a cpu or sensor or however u wanna say it, that doesnt regulate all ur hp and trq and basically u get full potential off each and every mod, i think after 94 they stopped obd1 b.c. of emissions reasons, so if like u got the lude u wouldnt have obd1 ud have obd2 im pretty sure

the prelude has NO room whatso ever. i hated that in my 93 lude. no room at all. i couldnt even get my golf bag in the trunk. super comfy seat in the lude though and a nice stiff clutch and clean, short shifts. mine was only an Si with the nonvtec 160 hp motor but it had good power. beat an rsx a few times and a gt eclipse (V6). so it is a toss up. both have equal amount of parts available for them. i like the looks of that year prelude. it was a fun car to drive and not many ppl have them.

Yea, my buddy has a 92 Si. I love it and personally i think they look really good lowered with one piece jdm headlights. Dont really like the "shelf" dash look that spreads from side to side, but then again I like everything under that. The seats are very comfortable and supportive and the clutch / throws seem great. It did have good power for the H23 non-vtec.. Supposidly the H22 is a huge difference too. For me, I don't really care if it doesnt have a back seat or trunk. I found the front of the car is huge and roomy and thats good enough for me.

yes the one peice "self" dash is kinda retro looking and i didnt care for the half gauge, half digital look on the dash either.

actually, now that i think about it, the only things i liked about my lude were the fact noone else had one, it was fast and sounded great even stock, handled well, looked nice, and had nice clutch/shift and comfy seats.
