Question First Car: 1994 Acura Integra or 1997 Eclipse?

Getting my first car soon, as far as reliability, overall performance and potential, which is a better choice between the 1994 Acura Integra and 1997 Mitsubishi Eclipse? Dont know much, thats why im asking here. I do plan on working on it in the future and making it fast. Hopefully i can get some help from some of you guys in here

Also if some of you can give me some ideas on good basic parts through advanced parts that would help ALOT aswell. Thanks boys.

the non-type r integra is a tarted up civic and the ecplise is a tarted up girl car.

you would be better off with the integra, because it would actually run, but i would take a manual subaru impreza over either.

you won't make this car fast without an engine swap, and even with an engine swap you won't make it fast without significant amounts of money into the new motor.

so, my advice would be to realize what it is, keep it mostly stock and drive it.

Or get a 240 and cut the springs. Then find a canyon and drive fast enough to understeer through a guard rail.
