I'm 17, in high school, and my uncle might hand me down his '91 Integra LS 2dr w/ 265K miles!!! I know, it's a lot, but the motor was partially rebuilt a couple of years ago. The body has dings and scratches, but the motor still runs very well and still performs well at high rpms like an Acura should.I don't know what to do...if to turn this car into a project car i.e. swapping the motor out for a DOHC VTEC and fixing up the body a bit, because I know there is a huge aftermarket for this car and tuning it shouldn't be expensive....or should I just buy another used car like a Civic or something because my budget IF I buy a used car would be under $4KShould I just keep the car or ditch it for another one? Thoughts, suggestions, ideas?

sell it, buy a mustang... for the money you've got thats the way to go fast.

Mustangs are a dime a dozen and built like crap. If you have the tools and the patience it would make a great project car. You can build a JDM spec motor that has great hp and have some fun. Integras are light and solid.

I'd get a newer Civic....(and stay away from Fords....the new Mustangs are junk..)

i had a 91 integra ls, and i turned it into a a project car, it was fun and easey to work on, plus they come with a pr4 ecu wich you can chip, or tune with hondata

good cars i would turn mine intoa project cari have an 94 integra rs an im about to drop a vtec in ityou should join team-integra.net you can find a lot of ideas on there and faqs on the car and everything its a very useful site

Mustang??? I used to have a 91 ls. All I had on it was DC sports headers and AEM cold air intake. Mustangs were a joke. The race was over by the time I hit third gear. Now I will brag that I can drive a stick like none other, but still. Get the integra. Like the other guy said, they are fun and easy to work on. Put a few bolt ons on it, then go out and shut the ford guys up. Man I wish I still had that car, it was so fun seeing guys in mustangs just cower down in their seats after a race. I hate mustangs. Its like an infection. By the way, in 1991, the LS integra had the most horsepower per cylinder ever produced at its time.

Great cars KEEP it you don't have to swap the whole engine you can just put a VTEC head on it (more power), Low maintenence and great reliability I own a 94' integra and a couple of 85' civics hondas are great.
