I could use some help, decision to make
 
hey, i'm deciding on a 97 Acura integra GSR or a 04 RX8, but i can't seem to make up my mind. i know the clear choice that the RX8 is a better car, but it seems like you have to keep alot of things stock, such as the guages, and the cd deck and things like that, granted its a very nice system.

On the integra, i would have sparco seats, Short shifter,reverse indiglo guages,Bomex body kit,type R wing, headers,intake,vtec controller, rims, and underglow. a kenwood deck, with a bunch of subs and amps to.

On the RX8 i would have sparco seats, the mazda speed kit (4 body parts and wing),AEM cold air,nice rims, blue underglow, sparco seats, and of course a bunch of subs and amps.

any help would be good, thanks

which one would u go w/?

The Integra is the clear choice here.

integra fits what you are looking for MUCH MUCH better

thanks for visiting, kbye

Socr8tes 04-27-2005 03:46 PM

Oh geez, please buy the Integra.

I don't think their is an AEM CAI out yet. So the guy is BS-ing. Get the Teg or find an honest 8 seller

If you like underglow, I'd say the RX-8 is not the car for you.

rodrigo67 04-27-2005 04:25 PM

it sounds like your planning lots of mods. I would say that the Acura is a better choice. It will handle mods better and there's much more variety out there for it.
Get the Intergra...

On a serious note.

If you plan on modding your car in that fashion, the Integra is the car for you. There is MUCH more aftermarket parts available for it, not to mention the cost of the few parts available for RX8 are expensive.

Also, modding an RX8 in that fashion would only make it look rediculous. There is not much that can be done to improve the looks of the 8, whereas the Integra has a LOT of room for improvement.

Hope this helps.

Get the Intergra. And make sure to pump up those underglows...2F2F style, baby! I want to see you from Canada!

rotten42 04-27-2005 05:02 PM

yes, get the Integra...make sure that wing has the Type R logo in a place where everyone can see it.....just to make sure...get more Type R logos and put them on the side s and front of the car.

Integra is what you want.

Also see if you can get a sticker like this:

does the sticker have to be in german?

Get the Integra
You can spend the difference between the 8 and the Integra on your mods.
An 8 is not for you.

That all depends on wie schell willst du sein.

Ike 04-27-2005 07:07 PM

Don't listen to these guys, the RX-8 is the clear choice. It's perhaps the best car on the planet other than the Skyline from TFTF. Since that's not available here go get yourself an RX-8! :p

Elara 04-27-2005 07:17 PM

Or a WRX. They look great with underglow and Type R stickers.

RX4life 04-27-2005 07:19 PM

you sound like a "boy racer" get the integra....when you surpass this stage in life you can look towards an 8

i was once a boy racer with my SVT focus.. eating GSRs

but i have matured to an 8 and love it!!!

memories :rolleyes:

Perhaps, the most profound statement I've read ever by Ike. :eek: our favorite troll

No, WRXs are slow, ugly, and they break down all the time ;)

Ike 04-27-2005 07:28 PM

Also forgot that they don't make streetglow that fits the WRX, sad, I know :(

No More Oldsmobiles 04-27-2005 08:21 PM

Oh, Ike, my opinion of you just fell off a cliff!

What about Sparco seats? Would you go with the Sparco seats?

joseight 04-27-2005 08:52 PM

"a bunch of subs and amps"

and where do you plan on getting all of this trunk space from?

honestly though, it up to you. get whatever is more beneficial to you in terms of payments, gas, insurance, practicality, etc. who cares what we think because as rx-8 owners, we are biased anyway.
