Go with an integra if you are going for something like a prelude. The Integ is much lighter than the Honda. They have sort of reversed roles(typically Acura's were much lighter weight than their Honda counterparts) in the last couple of generations.

You could do a prelude. . .but why? You can start off with a much lighter starting point to reduce weight from. . .I like Preludes alot but they are bricks
1400lbs is heavy?
