***Official What did you do to your Integra today***

[charliebrown]

Fuarkk to jack my car up, gotta scissor jack the side to get the front high enough to slide trolley jack under. Then have to jack the rear up using scissor jacks while fronts lifted to be able to fit jack stands. Same thing backwards to take car down for both sides :( really need a lower jack that lifts higher, can barely fit my head under the damn car.

anyone got tips on how to change o2 sensor for the teg? i dont have a big enough wrench, toolset only goes up to 19mm. and its on hella tight + rust

[Lukey]

drive onto some planks of wood.

use wd7 or whatever it is on the thread bit.

got a shifter thats big enough?

remember that brute force wont undo things, its shocking the thing that will undo it

[charliebrown]

Driving onto planks of wood only solves the firs tproblem, still doesn't jack high enough to allow jack stands to fit under. Maybe drive back wheels onto wood too?

Don't have a shifter, don't have 22mm open end wrench. Can't even brute force the lil shit, can only apply torque pretty much from my fingers, can't even use forearm

oh and also do i need to disconnect battery before i do this shit? i forgot today and unplugged the sensor oops

[Lukey]

if u cant get it on stands to get under it properly to get enough leverage dont bother.

you wont have to disconnect the battery. just dont start the car without it to avoid making the cel come up. find yourself some leverage. if you cant get it off. it'l be 10bucks at an exhaust shop where they have a hoist to make life easier.

[Super-DA9]

just do what I did and drop that whole part of the header out, go and get yourself the right size spanner from supercheap for like $8. Then step on the pipe, use your weight and TURN IT LIKE A MUTHAFKA.

wd40 also helps to release it.

[Super-DA9]

What I did to my integra tonight:

removed the stock intake manifold and throttle body because this baby came in the mail today:

http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss263/soulbinder/photo-24.jpg

although this is exciting, taking the stock manifold of was THE BIGGEST PAIN IN THE ASS.

the PCV valve broke when I pulled it out too, god dammit.

[Vvvtec]

YESSSS!!!

Make sure you scrape off EVERY SINGLE remnant of the old manifold gasket off the head. Razor blade works well.

And be very mindful of your knock sensor. The plug off the OEM manifold which is deleted when putting the S2 manifold on is in same section of harness as the knock sensor. When I did the swap I accidentally snapped my knock sensor in half. Limp mode is no fun :/

[rhys.l]

remember that brute force wont undo things, its shocking the thing that will undo it

Yup. I would get a right size spanner (shifters can be dodgy), put it on the sensor, hold it tensioned and then bash the end of the spanner with a hammer. Failing that, slot some long metal piping over the spanner and either turn and or tension and bash again. I stripped an entire car down to its bare chassis using these techniques. Remember, leverage is your friend..

check out what someone else did my car today and obviously, did not leave a note. any hints on how i can fix it up myself? don't have the cash for full bar respray, just want a cheap backyard repair so it doesn't look as bad.

[Dubstein]

Is it dented or just chips of paint ? If you want it really cheap just sand it back, prime, then get some colour code mixed up from autobarn, mask it up then spray ?

Worth a try, would look better then what it is now haha. I actually have some spots like this on my bumper i still gotta try fix up.
If i get some paint soon, ill try it first haha then show you some pictures :3

[cph3r]

I wouldnt imagine getting it sprayed would cost too much if you prep it yourself. Regardless, that sucks man.

[p3akin]

thats max 200$ fix at apanel beater mate, if i were you, i would just save up and just fix it properly.

if ur in melb i can refer u to a place.

[fretwekk]

i'm in sydney.. i might sand it back myself, and see if i can get it quoted at a panel beater or just DIY...
the plastic is a bit broken on the bottom hit next to the amber.
see how it's cracked all the way up to the headlight, i'm going to peel all that paint off and sand all of that right?

[GSi_PSi]

good excuse for facelift front bar

[charliebrown]

Success! o2 sensor came out after a while. Had to snip the wires and put a closed ended wrench over it. The stupid shifter i bought didn't do shit, kept sliding. Ended up bleeding with all cuts and bruises on my forearms and hands. The joys of DIY :D

Hopefully fuel economy gets better... just filled up and previous tank was 13.3L/100km WTF!

Yeah man I was careful, thank god mine didn't break *phew*

sounds like it must've been annoying as hell.

fuark 13.3L/100km for a gsi is definitely not good.
try replacing your pcv valve if its still not good.

[_FeRiO_]

Went to check out my friends car today on the progress of his Integra getting resprayed...
It's all primed up and ready to get painted ;)


2003720038

Can't wait to see the results and when he gets his OEM Optional side skirts put on & rear pods.

[Vvvtec]

Why no facelift front?

TBH 180ks isnt that BAD i mean its a fairbit but not too bad, 10Ks is also a decent price.

And anyone that has a pod thrashes their car from time to time :P

[Vvvtec]

Looks nice as. Would offer him $9k as a starting point and go from there. Wouldn't really pay more than $10k for that.

[charliebrown]

There's also this one, same price, looks pretty clean too with 145xxx but located in Lukeyville

Ever seen the guy around? Bit of vtec up and down stud?Heh, it's VTEC central around here, hey. I don't think I've seen it around. I like the fact that it's stock, even down to the blades.

[charliebrown]

Really? Every time i head down that way i always get egged on by red P plater commos fresh from the carwash on corner of gladstone. The teg doesn't really look like a 'boy racer' car does it? Why does it attract morons!

thinkin of buying a daihatsu cuore as a cheap daily. found a clean one 108k, asking 3900 with rwc. they're so cute :o

[GSi_PSi]

Pay a little bit more and you can get a dc2r. You will be disappointed with a stock Vtir especially at those prices.

[charliebrown]

The various reasons as to why i'd prefer a dc2 over an R at this stage of my life would be insurance and theft/vandalism. Plus a vti-r is plenty of power for street.

plus most mint/great condition dc2r's go for around 17k+ last I checked :/

[Super-DA9]

Got my old transmission out of the car yesterday finally. it was pretty scary lowering it out as we weren't sure if it was gonna drop out all of a sudden or not but everything turned out ok. gonna install my exedy clutch and flywheel over this week and hopefully get the ITR transmisison in on the weekend.

[notorious_ahmie]

dont get me wrong i love the wing. but i love my stealth look as well. Only 4 bolts to put it back on lol.

yeah i took my wing of for a month. i liked it off untill i went airbourne. i put the wing on as soon as i got home. stupid melbourne bumpy roads and teins monoflex arent a good combo

[charliebrown]

just cut a hole in it lol DIY style

I like your thinking... hmm

Did a few quotes and turns out insuring a dc2r isn't THAT much, however the agreed value is quite shit. Max AAMI lets you raise it to is $12xxx

[DTN]

Im with aami and i pay ~1k maybe abit more for full comp. Agreed value is 14k yeah its pretty shit lol

[charliebrown]

You listed as primary driver? Or as an additional driver under parents? Age? PM me bro. ~1k is good as!

[_FeRiO_]

true true... hate how the eyes bulge out in facelift

Mee tooo find it more unique personally and looks better... Can't wait untill my mates respray is finish haha (=

[rhys.l]

You guys looking for insurance with AAIMI need to call them up and put on your negotiation hat. I pay $7xx for full comp and have an agreed value of nearly 15k. I'm the primary driver and 22 (21 when quoted).

[charliebrown]

The guys on the phone can nego the price? Thought they just tap on the keyboard for quotes. Well that's all they did the few times i called wanting prices

[rhys.l]

That's what they would like you to think but it's not true in reality. You can always get a better deal if you call. I got my dude to go away and talk to his supervisor so I could get a better agreed value on my car

[DTN]

interesting... think its time to give aami a call lol

[Lukey]

lol @ same colour car from lukeyville

its a different colour. i see it on a property running along the highway

[anzai]

lol aami... be prepared for a world of shit when it comes to putting through claim at fault... ive heard way too many horror stories. just sayin'

[charliebrown]

Who do you suggest then? JCI is ridiculous pricing... and RACV is a fair bit more expensive than aami

[Lukey]

mafia.

[anzai]

charlie, you get what you pay for mate.

im with racv, and my premium is fcken heaps, but a peace of mind.

with racv:

1. your car is hit ( fault or not at fault)
2. put a claim through
3. get a quote from your choice of repairer
4. assessor comes to you to see if quote reflects the damage
5. if all good, racv pays out and repair starts.

no bs having to go to aami inspection bay, then get your car repaired by some random shop

then again ultimately its whether you can and are willing to pay more for better service

[DA9-47]

nice work..

how would you describe the clutch + fly combo in comparision to stock..

is the feel of the pedal alot heavier?
is there still a fair bit of slippage or does it grab tight immediately..

i guess im asking of its street + traffic friendly

[Super-DA9]

dunno man, I guess I'll find out when my car is back together. check out the thread and you'll see what I mean haha ;)

if by that you mean how it would behave with broken mounts then yeah it would be disastrous lol

but I'm changing over all the mounts to innovative/AVID mounts.

yeah it's a kit from the U.S. actually, you'll be able to find it at around $550 posted on ebay america, which is an amazing deal considering to buy the flywheel itself from a retailer here it would be around $700!

Sounds average, try a better fuel like 98 and you should get around 6-7L/100km.

[Super-DA9]

98RON is 100% worth the money.

[charliebrown]

I always used 98 and got 10-13L/100km, just tried two tanks on 91 to feel the difference.

I highly doubt going from 91->98 increases fuel economy that much? negligible in my case, maybe +0.5L/100km at most

[khanguskhan]

Sounds average, try a better fuel like 98 and you should get around 6-7L/100km.

LOL you make it sound so easy, i understand 98 ron is good and helps, but that big a scale?

Hahah yeah wish 98 was miracle fuel like he makes it out to be :( i think it's time to go diesel...

Haha, I just use 98. I remember back in the day I had $8, I still used it, $10 I still used it. It's a habbit now, and whenever I see my dad using regular unleaded I always think that his some cheapo. Even if its abit higher cost than regular, its worth it. Anyway everyone should know this by now :p

I respect the prices and its true, you pay for what you get.

Filled up with 160.9c/L BP ult today... it hurts seeing all that money pouring out of the pump, knowing it goes to waste driving people home -_- sucks being one of the only guys that has their Ps. Only gonna get worse when i'm on greens lol, 3 kunts gonna climb in the back and beg for a ride too! My auto barely moves with 2 people in it :o but seriously, why the hell is my fuel economy so dick

Haha yeah it suxxx,

anything new comming for the teggy?

[charliebrown]

Not this teggy, will be taking out wheels and sussy and selling up in 3 weeks when uni semester ends and getting a MANUAL! Plenty of time to learn during the break. Undecided as to what car to get. Setting budget at 12ish, ideas? can't quite afford a cl9 lux with that unfortunately

Not this teggy, will be taking out wheels and sussy and selling up in 3 weeks when uni semester ends and getting a MANUAL! Plenty of time to learn during the break. Undecided as to what car to get. Setting budget at 12ish, ideas? can't quite afford a cl9 lux with that unfortunatelyI'd go a VTEC Civic or S14 200SX. It'll be good when you get into a manual! It doesn't even need to be that quick, it'll be so much more fun just having a manual box.

If I had my time again, I wouldn't have bought the Integra. It's a nice car for what it is, but it's not what I want. I compromised, because I was tired of shopping, but I really wanted RWD. I was originally looking at Civics, and I should have stuck to my guns, because I'd be happier with an EG or EK... I'll tidy up the few rough edges, and sell it next year.

[charliebrown]

Every tom dick and charlie has a ****in civic... and you're off your Ps yeah? Why s14 and not s15?

Approx how long does it take to be able to drive stick smoothly ya reckon?

[khanguskhan]

Not long man, you eventually get the hang of it after riding the clutch a few times, don't be discouraged. If you go down 98 fuel path, you should pour 20 litres max at a time, and when you see the 91 prices drop to about 135-138 (98 be around 150-155) then you pour more otherwise you're gnna pay fricken drug money full tank when you pour at 160

[charliebrown]

I always fill full tank at the same bowser every time otherwise i can't keep track of my fuel consumption lol pad and pen :P

[Indie]

Every tom dick and charlie has a ****in civic... and you're off your Ps yeah? Why s14 and not s15?

Approx how long does it take to be able to drive stick smoothly ya reckon?Not long at all, really. It doesn't matter how much you suck at it in the first hour or two, because it'll just click all of a sudden, and you'll wonder why it ever seemed difficult. You'll probably still have the odd dodgy moment every now and then for a few weeks, and of course it'll no doubt take a few weeks of driving before you feel properly settled, but it really doesn't take long before you can at least drive it well enough to get where you need to go. Nothing wrong with riding the clutch and taking your time with the shifts for a little while, and gradually improving. Better to take your time than slam it into second instead of fourth and **** your synchro. The Teg is very forgiving as far as manual boxes go, so even if I wasn't always in the right gear, it never stalled on me or complained too much.

Yeah, everyone has a Civic, but everyone has an Integra as well. They're everywhere. But if I was going to go FWD, I feel as if I should have gone the smallest, lightest I could get, and that's the Civic. But I'm off my Ps, yeah, and I won't be getting comprehensive insurance, so there's nothing stopping me from upgrading to a Silvia. The S14 is cheaper, and less common, than the S15. They're basically identical mechanically, so while the S15 technically looks better, the rarity and value of the S14 adds to its allure for me. Plus, I was very, very close to purchasing one before I got my Integra, so the S14 has become the one that got away for me. I originally wanted an S13, but finding a decent example proved almost impossible, and I decided I'd be better off with a newer, Australian-delivered, model.

[EKVTIR-T]

How can something be technically better looking :D

And yes S14s are less common these days and in my opinion a great buy for the prices theyre going for

[Super-DA9]

wish i could say integras and civics were everywhere in ACT. definitely way more modded S14's and R33's here then hondas :(

[CivicEGSI]

There are 3 integra's and like 4 civics in town where i live ;)

[Dubstein]

More then 4 'Civics' :P More like 4 Ek's haha

[Lukey]

mines like 1 of 3 modded hondas in my town.

what i did today, topped up my oil but a bit under a litre

Finally put all my front sussy back in with new bushings and cleaned it all up. Was going to put the back end in today but fk I am hungover from a wedding yesterday!

just make sure you do it before some hater does otherwise you might get damaged!

[Super-DA9]

yeah it fits, but I'm missing those indicator inserts so I can't put my indicators in, and no one will sell me any!

also I've been trying to get my friend to paint it for like 6 months and it's not fkn happening. >:[

[Indie]

Yeah, in comparison, the badge looks like a prop for red nose day. Some cars need badges to prevent them from looking plain, or because they're part of the design of the grille, but I think the DC2 probably looks better without.

@ indie what did we buy from you sorry?

[89lude]

To everyone else. thanks for support, alot of people are saying that to me! But the effort was also alot of fun since cars are our hobbies right? You're always gonna lose money in this game so time to cut my losses (and someone else will get a bargain).

Ideally i'd like another teg as i've always loved them. But if i get another dc2r as a daily i'll be keeping it stock maybe just putting in coilovers and some wheels and that'l be it.

Another project will come out of it anyway. Definitely not an nsx guys! haha

[1900-hustler]

good luck with it bro..

if i knew where i was gonna be in 12 months time id probably be keen for a trade


but im sure someone keen as will pick up your car no problems

yeah maybe. the car isnt for everyone. just posted it up because i know alot of people looking down this path for their cars, and they'll save money and the hard work by buying my car.

haha, true. But i didnt friggin redline it. Hit vtec once and that was it.

[rhys.l]

Yeah you gotta hit it (vtec, not the redline) in a test drive to make sure it comes on okay. You can always politely ask the owner first. They are normally in two minds and it's in that time frame you give it a whorl!

[Dubstein]

Decided im going to fix every scratch/dent and paint the teggy black.. Any homemade tips?

[charliebrown]

My car is up for grabs. Have yet to find a mint manual dc2/r -_- guess i'm going to be best friends with public transport again. Someone coming to have a look tomorrow and i haven't had time to wash/wax it :/

[Indie]

Sounds like a plan, Dub. I was going to do the same, but I'll just sell it instead.

Good luck with the sale, bro! How it goes smoothly.

[Dubstein]

Ah yeah i forgot you were selling up Charlie! Gl man

[charliebrown]

Indie, give me details. I may be interested :P

[Indie]

Ha, yeah, you may be actually. Someone might be.

So what does everybody think I should be asking for price wise?

It's a 1999 model with <120,000 on the clock.
Full Honda Dealer service history.
Timing belt changed at last service. New battery.
One previous owner. Never been over 3500 rpm during my ownership. Mechanically perfect.
Engine bay immaculate.
Completely stock.
Front bar needs a touch up due to scrapes, and there is a small scuff on another panel, but otherwise it's clean.
I think the stereo is no longer working, so I can sell it with a new head unit.

Sigh. I'm going to talk myself into keeping it. But yeah, any ideas what I should be asking for?

[EKVTIR-T]

About 7 would be ok but not an easy sell

5-6 for easier sale

[Indie]

Hm. I was thinking that 7 was pretty reasonable. 5 is definitely too low.

[u mad?]

Never been over 3500rpm? .....ok

[Bulbasaur]

Never been over 3500rpm? .....ok

not surprising if it is automatic.....like mine

[Indie]

No, it's a manual.

[blastnpast]

Indie it would help if you said GSI, VTI-R or type r

By the way people are voting and u haven't been passed 3,500 rpm it must be a GLI

I've seen GLI's sell for $7k only due to the high asking price or VTI-R owners lol


Just had a little sneak peak photoshoot

http://tapatalk.com/mu/7cbc800d-c6e0-e814.jpg

[1900-hustler]

DC4 = GSi (no vtak)


6-7k would be your target - OzH would lowball you 5k or something lol
sell on carsales and you will definately up your chances of selling it for more

Carsales has a lot of GSis around the 7k mark that are at much higher kays than mine, and no service history, so I'd probably price it there I think.

shouldn't have said that here levi R,

Charlie do not go dc4 again no matter what especially if you're selling urs..

[charliebrown]

delete that comment mate

opinions boys? http://firesport.com.au/97-prelude-h22a-manual-car-trading-point-sales--ad198603.htm

[u mad?]

lol what did levi r say?

[khanguskhan]

something about his pen1s size

[GSi_PSi]

Preludes are slow dude. Weigh in at 1380kg and have a laggy as fck gearbox plus add the fact that Vtec redlines at like 7600rpm and drops out of Vtec when shifting. Honestly manual gsi would maul it .

[charliebrown]

As a daily though, the prelude has leather interior, cruise control, arguably a nicer interior. And for some reason chicks love preludes, i always see some asian babes driving them lol

[GSi_PSi]

Do me a favor before you decide on a prelude. Go test drive a DC2R and then a prelude , then make your decision ..

[u mad?]

Do me a favor before you decide on a prelude. Go test drive a DC2R and then a prelude , then make your decision ..

really depends on his budget though...


That prelude would be a massive upgrade from that auto dc4 of yours, charlie, but have you considered a dc2 vtir? they are in that price range also..

depends what you wan't out of the car to as well.

[khanguskhan]

Cousin of mine just got a VTIR recently, and it's actually quite close to the dc2r, minus all the cool recaro's lighter weight blablabalbalabl but it drives pretty damn well.

[khanguskhan]

If you want I can give you a demo of my DC2R charlie brown, if you don't live too far east, however I'm a shit driver so don't expect much :P

[Indie]

The Prelude is a nice cruiser, but I think the DC2 looks better, and would probably be more fun.

[blastnpast]

@Khang Bursting bubble here: VTI-R is no where near a TYPE-R IMO

I've owned both and the TYPE-R has crazy amount of handling along with such a smooth stock ride whilst the VTI-R was still smooth but was missing those ultimate mods to make it feel like a perfectly steered vehicle. My old prelude sure did accommodate more towards the DC2r handling and smooth ride but was only lacking the recaro's lol it is still a car which makes you feel like your driving a toy car and handles great!

Bak on track if you desire a prelude as a daily that is good dude just depends what you want and it's really only up to you, you will be driving it and loving it just like you did with yours now

[DCZ 18C]

^ fit the pods already man haha no luck finding the scale to print the template? =/

Nah man I havnt :( I want them on so

You only really get on chance..
Soon enough I will get em
On I hope... Might just end up going to a mates body shop and getting them
To put them
On for me...

[khanguskhan]

@blastnpast

Maybe the condition of the VTI-R I drove was really good, I admit I can't push it's handling as hard, however I found it's power delivery quite comfortable, and linear. Don't get me wrong, I bought the R for a reason :D.
