Car decision..
Hey guys.
My brothers come across a hard decision with motors. He loves his japanese imports. Currently riding an Integra DC2. Lowered, Carbon Bonet, few engine add-ons, etc.
Some guy not far from us has been looking to swap his 'Civic EG' for an Integra DC2. Yeh, you may think, Civic EG < Integra. But.. This Civic is just unbeleivable.
Recently saw the Civic at a car meet up at Blue Water.
Guy caught a snap of my brothers (front only)

(Carbon Bonet)

These are the pictures of the Civic:

B16 Engine, Although the DC2 is a B18, This is extremely light, especially with the amount of Carbon on the thing.
Just stuck at odds ends on what to do really, He loves his DC2, i love his DC2, but this thing is just also sweet as, and the engine spec is lovely.
Any of you guys have a clue what i'm talking about ? Or into Jap cars? Give us your thoughts =]

I have no idea what you just said, but both those cars are really clean.
And those pictures look great :]
Where are you from? I wish my license plates looked like that. =/
Back on topic.
Is your brother more into looks or is he more into performance?
I'd keep the Integra because those are more unique imo.

I'm not sure, I think I'd keep the Integra. However, the Honda does look quite nice and looks like it's had a fresh pain job.
I'm not a big fan of the front splitter, but the smoothed front bumper looks ok. You could go euro style with that

Good if you want to beat the hell out of it, but not classy, very cheap looking IMO. Tell him to go german, ditch the jap stuff.

Japan cars are the best, I just got a new one, but my old one was 17 years old and still running semi-well.

Best in a sense... best as in they will last forever, but in the sense of comfortability, and looks, they cant compete with german

Unless you've previously owned a decent jap car? Hard to make that assumption tbh.
of course the oldschool shapes arn't classy, they're track cars, couldn't possibly expect them to look like a bmw 6 series for example? =P lol
But.. I can't understand how you could say (for example)

is "not classy, very cheap looking" ?
or for a prime example! (the new Civic FD2)

That is full of class and performance. I'd Rather have one of them than a BMW tbfh..
*Quicker than an evo 8 round track*

Ive previously owned 2 preludes, so dont think Im just talking out of my ass. I know from experience. and since you probably havent owned a german car, I dont understand how you could call them "****ty german cars"
