So a quick note on the integra not all of them came with VTEC from the top of my head only the Integra GSR came with the B18C1 which is 1.8 liter DOHC VTEC motor while the rest of the lower trims came with the B18B which is a 1.8 DOHC Non-VTEC motor. Just wanted people to know because the GSR trim became kinda hard to find so most of the integras you see nowadays are non vtec and a quick way of checking is the engine serial code B18C1=VTEC 170hp, B18B=Non-VTEC 138hp. I don’t know how many people will point this out but for the new people interested in an integra it’s pretty important.

None of these cars are being sold in $5k at all, even more so under $5k. Prices are HEAVILY affected based on where you live. Even if you find one it's rusted to all hell. The last clean Miata I saw had an asking price of $9k. A moderate looking CRX was $12k, Hell a 180k - 220K mile 6th - 9th gen Si are being sold around $8k - $12k. This is all based on CT where I've stared at FB market for the last 4 months

For 5k you can get a Subaru wrx (not an STI of course and probably as a wagon, it will be quite clapped out and maybe even damaged) but you could use it for a Factory Five 818 one day. And it's useful to gain experience with Subarus.

I'd like to add to the cobalt ss - the cobalt ss originally had the LSJ supercharged engine from 2005 to 2007 alongside the *saturn* ion redline from 2004 - 2007 making 205 hp and 200 tq, not the LNF turbo it came with 2008 to 2010, which the saturn sky redline came with as well as the pontiac solstice gxp, having 260 hp and tq. The LNF has a weaker engine block than the LSJ due to gm upgrading its' engine cooling somewhat. Though the LNF cobalt can be a more popular option due to not being supercharged but rather turbocharged so it will have a higher power ceiling *(from factory)* without replacing major components, making it cheaper for power mods in the short run. The Quickest and fastest cobalt ss actually has the LSJ engine turboswapped, and the stock block with everything else replaced and/or modified has been taken all the way to 898 hp, on a 2.0L mind you. The stock LSJ shortblock has been taken to 520 - 540 hp reliably. It has been pushed to 567 hp on the dyno, and then pulled back to the afformentioned 520 - 540, and then raced for a full season; afterwords the engine was torn down and the stock rods were found to be slightly bent, it is speculated that the rods bent doing that 567 hp dyno pull, and then raced at the slightly lower power through the whole season with bent rods. These lsj ecotecs are no joke.

Quick note about the Honda CRX. The JDM and Euro market DID get a B16A1 but us folks in the U.S. did not get that. We got a D16A6 which is a singlecam non vtec motor that makes about 105-108 horsepower and thats ONLY for the CRX Si. I have a A6 in my civic and its nothing that special, but they do love boost and they are cheap to build. I still recommend this car.
The fact that Mark started by saying the only 3 good Fast & Furious movies were 1, 2 and 3, means you can trust him 101%
Serious question. Why does no one talk about the 1993-97 Camaro Z28? The LT1 was a good engine. It's not as popular as the LS, but it paved the way for them. It's honestly sad that not a lot of car people acknowledge that engine. Edit: The LS1 is a 5.7 liter (350 cubic inch) V8. Maybe research a little better?

Most of the CRX made 108hp from factory with a D16. I used to smoke mustangs 5.0L with just a turbo. And it traveled 100 miles and back with $5 or $6 gas in the tank by that time. It was 1989 and it was my first car. I was 16 and didn't have any money but I still made a reputation in the street race arena. Those were the days. I later had a Miata, but I threw the shifty engine and put a rotary 12A engine in it that I bought for 500 bucks. So much fun and an attention grabber. People uses to go crazy when I started the car and they heard that sweet and unique sound of the Racing Beat muffler. It got me so much pu$$y! I sold it after 3 years and bought a Buick Grand National next, which I still think it's the best and greatest car from the 80's.
If you're going to buy a DSM car make sure you have money set aside for repairs. They are fun but they like to break

If you like the Golf 1.8T, you'll love the Polo 1.8T (GTI 9n3) same engine but even lighter.
The original 4g63t came with between 190hp in the 1g auto DSM's (smaller TD04H-13g turbo and 390cc injectors), up to 240 for the Galant Evolutions (TD05H-Big16G turbo and 510cc injectors). Any DSM is worth money. I have a '99 Eclipse Spyder with 115k miles, all original, that I'm just waiting to sell...possibly next year.

I had an 85 Cressida... it was a pretty good car. Kinda wish I hadn't sold it. I have actually been thinking of selling my 2014 CTS-V coupe and buying a Soarer M3. The problem with the CTS-V is that everything is expensive for it. I have a 99 Mazda Protege with 82K miles on it that I drive as a daily. Coilovers and Miata wheels and it handles really well but a 1.6L105 HP is a bit lacking....
