the kid who bought my old civic got a ride to my house with some guy who drove a prelude, and he had 5 people in the car (including himself).

 

ok but the key question is this..please answer by each number:

1. the SH basicly has a traction control button..thats it?

2. will my civic be faster than buying the prelude if i swap it? (k20 or k24 w/ k20 heads or a h22/24)

3. is buying a prelude gonna cost the same as swapping my civic? and is the prelude still gonna be faster? or the civic?

 

1. yes, that's the only difference. but i don't think it's a button, i think it's always on. supposedly it has wayyy better handling.

 

2. your civic would be faster than the prelude if you swapped any of those motors you listed, but only for one reason: the civic is lighter

 

3. buying a prelude will cost way less than swapping your civic because if you buy the prelude, you can sell the civic, which will probably completely pay off the prelude.

 

but if you do a swap youre going to pay like 3000 for a swap when its all said and done and the only thing youll be able to sell is your header and engine and tranny.

 

it will cost way more to swap than just get a prelude. not to mention its easier.

 

you kids are crazy, the RSX is a better pick considering: newer, newer technology, updated frame and suspension, responds very well to mods, better lookin' (imo), and possibly lower mileage. and have you people even driven each platform, or are you just jaw jackin'?

 

i found a lude f0r $10.8k w/ 80k miles...is that good?...its at a dealer...

 

I agree with ej6, I don't think it's even a question.
