I swear I could of written this thread!! Been looking at the exact same cars also, integra dc2 seems to be a good buy also, from what I've read they can rust around the arches, and the transmission can be a weak link in the car, seat bolsters also tend to wear and hardened valve stem oil seals can be a problem (excessive oil consumption is a symptom). The say to also make sure if you are going to get one to make sure it has 2 keys (believe one is the immobiliser and should have 2 fobs). Very good car from what I read, maybe an alternative for the celica? And for some reason a hell of a lot cheaper to insure than a civic type r (for me at least).
