EK or DC

what would be best for me, for a track/street car? i was thinkin either a acura DC or a EK hatch back. i saw that the ek is sometimes more expensive ot buy but if i get a lower model of integra with a b series its a little less expensive. im probly goin to start with the stock motor that comes with the car. any help would help alot. thanks

It really depends on you. The Integra comes with a B-series which is a better base to start off, has 4 wheels disk brakes and has sway bars. Now if you pick up a civic, you can find a rear disk brake conversion and swap it. Then get a better and thicker sway bar. Also swapping an ls into an ek is not that hard.

I would personally go with ek, but that's just because I like it better. CX ek hatch is lighter than a DC, so that would be an advantage also. Plus, ek with all same mods as a DC will be better for re-sale.

DC for sure. You already get a DOHC, sway bars, rear disc brakes all factory, so you don't need to swap anything and the DC's just look better.
