My Mums Buying An Integra!

[Cold Fusion]

ahaha yeh, she needs a new car, and she was looking at the integras, i was just curious, being an integra lover myself, what are the specifics of the car? like, what enigne is in the 2005 integra lux model? also, is that the best integra to get? what are your opinions.

i was thining, she may wanna swap enignes with me ;)

thanks :P

Integra (http://www.carsales.com.au/pls/carsales/!cs_content.dealer_vehicle?vehicle_id=2631367&current_rec=3&total_rec=14&sort_type=1&make_id=19&model_id=66&state_id=-1&search_distance=25&year_min=2004&year_max=2005)

if that works ^^^, thats the one shes thinking of getting.

[2NTICN]

the luxury model is not that fantastic, "more luxurious" but engine is nothing compared to the others. my integra would chop it. personally id recommend the Type R but in this case coz its for your mum id definately have to say the Type S. Best combination of comfort and performance. just my 2cents

[Cold Fusion]

yeh i dont think shes fussed about the engine lol

and ur integz, if your teg can chop that, and mine can prob chop yous, does that mena ill chop my mum? lol

yeh, im gonna try get her to dump it and get some rims lol

[industrie]

dude your mum isnt going to get a sports and mod it and cruise around in it...the luxury model would be fine for your mum...if she is into performance get the type S...if she wants something to run around the luxury model would do it fine

[typsy]

tell her to get a Type S and you can swap cars with her. lol

[Cold Fusion]

industrie, i kno, thats why i said she would prob want the luxuire, yeh, but do u rekcon its a good buy? i dont want my mum to be ripped off lol

and just coz she wont cruise in it, doesnt mean she cant get rims and lower it!

[Kazaf]

yeh i dont think shes fussed about the engine lol

and ur integz, if your teg can chop that, and mine can prob chop yous, does that mena ill chop my mum? lol

yeh, im gonna try get her to dump it and get some rims lol

Can I 'chop' you? or your mum? haha

[Speeder]

Its up to your mother. If she doesn't/cant/dont want to drive a manual car then she has no choice. Also the premium for the Lux to the S is around $3000, so if she can't justify the premium and has no intension of putting that extra money to use, then it would be smart to go ahead for the Lux IMO.

[__arjay__]

My mum was looking to buy a car aswell but earlier this year and i was really trying to get her to get an integra preferrably the type s... But because mothers are mothers they dont need a performance car or anything, plus an integra is too small for the motherly things they do (shop, shop, pick up kids from school, shop)

Rofl... my mum ended up buying an accord euro.. she loves it!

[aaronng]

Doesn't the lux come with 118kW k20a3? In that case, as long as she stays below 5000rpm, she'll still be as quick as a Type S that stays below 5000rpm.

Go for the lux since it has an auto.

[2NTICN]

bring it on man, my IN73GZ will chop your integra, unless uve got a b18c in ures ill take you any day!!!!

[matt]

i would say get the luxury cos she will probably get sick of the stiffer ride of the type s with 17's etc and the luxury is probably quieter too, im talking from experience here cos in the couple of times my mum has been a passenger in my car she complains no end about how stiff the ride is.
i see that one is at honda north, i would definately recommend you go and see prestige honda in melville, i bought my 02 dc5r from there about 2 months ago, and found them much nicer to deal with than honda north, heaps less pressure etc and when car salesmen see a woman they try and slam her on something.

[Cold Fusion]

thanks everyone for ur responces :) its greatly appreciated :)

and yeh integz, bring ur car over to perth and we will drag :\ *couhg cough*

[Tofu]

i have the luxo integra
mum loves driving my car and doing motherly things is not a problem with my lightly modded dc5

the auto dc5 can be fast in traffic when driven correctly
but if you guys are talking about drags, then forget it...the auto is good for 16.6s 1/4mile

in the mountains however, with suspension tuning, i can keep up with the R (unless the driver of the R knows the mountain roads like the back of his hands) which in that case, i have no hope

[2NTICN]

naa dont think its gona be taken down the track, Cold fusion is just being a w*#$ker and thinks his da9 is faster than mine, i dont have the quickest da9 around but know its faster than yours....!

[TeMp]

Take it to track guys... if you guys are talking about straight line quick then your in the wrong brand of cars.

[_CiVIC_]

tell her to get a Type S and you can swap cars with her. lol



just like i did :) yayyyyyyyyyyyy
but i got to swap coz mum rewarded me for completing my degree :)

[2NTICN]

man we are driving bloody da9s. not freakin drag cars or anything, relax

[FR33K]

id go dc5 limited edition !!!

so sexy
comes with all the extras.. leather interior, foggies, type r body kit, sunroof.. love it !

[Tofu]

lol...
you talking about my car??

it doesnt' have Type R bodykit
it has factory standard kit...

To the thread starter: what FR33K said is right...
a 2005 Luxury DC5 auto for around $40k and in 2 years time....it will be around the mid $20k mark
might as well buy a pre facelift DC5 auto with lower kms which is already less than $30k to begin with...try to find one with leather and sunroof (the Luxury edition, not the Special Edition...although they are sweet too)

[2NTICN]

i believe Fr33k said "LIMITED EDITION" not LUXURY model, they are 2 different models are they??? he is refering to a different model

[FR33K]

nah im not talkin about the luxury...
this is how it is...
1. luxury
2. limited/special edition (the one i mentioned above with all options)
3. type r

the factory standard kit is the same kit on the type r ?? less the rear spoiler...

example "Limited Edition with ABS, Electric Windows, Sunroof, Leather Interior, Honda Body Kit, 17" Alloys, Low Profile Tyres (also still have original wheels and tryes) 1 female owner and log book.Price $28,990"

[CJL]

******ill chop chop all of uzz chop chop (keep on topic stop trying to compare dick sizes, u know who you are):rolleyes:


anyway back to point, go the limited sounds rather nice...:thumbsup:

[_CiVIC_]

the limited almost sounds like a type S...

[2NTICN]

i got no idea what your talkin bout CJL :rolleyes:

[_CiVIC_]

dude just convince your mother to buy a Type S, so in a year you can do the swap with her ;) hehehee

[2002 TeGgY]

why does everyone bag out the auto DC5's. i got one and i constantly hammer commodore V6's. IMO they are greate cars.

[2NTICN]

yeh auto hondas go alright, i had an auto da9 and it still hammered any other auto(within reason) and still killed many a manual. However it wouldnt keep up with my manual da9.

[Tofu]

i believe Fr33k said "LIMITED EDITION" not LUXURY model, they are 2 different models are they??? he is refering to a different model

ppft..i know what he said...i own a Special Edition Honda Integra since it was released in June 2002
and no the OEM Bodykit is not the same as the Type R
different front lip, different side skirts and different rear lip

what i meant to say is there's no point in getting the facelifted DC5 Luxury as it is still around $40k....

the Pre Facelifted DC5 Luxury (yes, with all the same interior equip but different headlight and bumpers) is more worth while...they go for around high $20k to mid $30K...

Unless you particually like the Facelifted DC5...and don't care about paying an extra $10k you get the same thing in the end....

[Tofu]

the limited almost sounds like a type S...

the Limited Edition was the stepping stone for Honda to axe the TypeR and bring in the new models all with leather seats

they said there was only suppose to be 200 Special Edition Honda Integra, what a load of BS...
now every integra has leather seats and sunroof

[zco]

is she hot ?

[FR33K]

ppft..i know what he said...i own a Special Edition Honda Integra since it was released in June 2002

EDIT: I WAS WRONG.. theres a lil curve on the SPECIAL EDITION ONE

SPECIAL EDITION

[2NTICN]

i think he has a fair point there gentlemen, fr33k 1 - tofu 0
hahahhaha

[Tofu]

hahhahah you guys are such noobs...
take a closer look

the special edition front lip is "fatter"
the special edition sideskirts are "fatter" too....
and the rear skirt...well you must be blind not to notice the difference...HAHAHAHAHA

[Tofu]

i think he has a fair point there gentlemen, fr33k 1 - tofu 0
hahahhaha

LOL you're going to eat your own words
trying to prove something againt someone who actually owns a Special Edition DC5 :cool:

[MrThanh]

im with Tofu on this one.

they look similar, but they are very different.

[MrThanh]

here we go..

honda integra OEM on the luxury/limited edition

type r
http://www.thersxsite.com/kits/jdm/silver/silver1.jpg

yep. definitely looks the same to me!

[Tofu]

Type R front lip - FLAT
http://rsx.clubrsx.com/typer/typer20.jpg

[FR33K]

so u can c the differences a lil better in these pics haha
they werent as obvious in the other ones...
i take it back lol
theyre so similar though that u cant even tell the difference without studying

[MrThanh]

and from the rear..

OEM
http://www.thersxsite.com/kits/oem/driver/driver5.jpg

vs. Type R
http://www.thersxsite.com/kits/jdm/red/red3.jpg

EXACTLY THE SAME!!

[MrThanh]

so u can c the differences a lil better in these pics haha

you might want to do your own research, rather than follow other members like sheep.

[FR33K]

umm u dont know what ur talkin about ?? who am i following ?? i was the one that said they look the same....
i did the research when i was gonna buy one... so i didnt notice the subtle differences lol

[Tofu]

umm u dont know what ur talkin about ?? who am i following ?? i was the one that said they look the same....
i did the research when i was gonna buy one... so i didnt notice the subtle differences lol

lol subtle difference??
...that rear is so different...omg..
i come across alot of people thinking they know my car better than i do...
perhaps you might want to look at more reliable sources to research from if you are to buy a car

who knows which DC5 you end up buying..

[FR33K]

well i really more talkin about the front and sides coz i didnt have pics to compare the rear..
but in the pics that i put up its very hard to pick the differences coz of the angle of the shot

[_CiVIC_]

ahhh stop your whining kids!! sound like a bunch of school girls hahaa

the limited edition is nice, but i also do remember in 2003 when my mum wanted to buy a typeR there was one that came in championship white colour, white 17" alloys, typeR bodykit, recaros, typeR wing, foggies etc.. it was a special edition or something.. very nice but she didn't like the recaros haha thats why she didn't buy it, but when the typeS came out this year, she saw it and bought it.. NOW ITS MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :D:D:D

dude tell her to buy a typeS then you's can trade ;) hehehehe

[R123]

nah nothing worng with auto DC5, i saw some with type R bodykits which looks good too.

[Banana]

the luxury model is not that fantastic, "more luxurious" but engine is nothing compared to the others. my integra would chop it. personally id recommend the Type R but in this case coz its for your mum id definately have to say the Type S. Best combination of comfort and performance. just my 2cents

his mum prob would'nt want a type-S
type-S is come in manual only, only the 'new; luxerious come in auto, and his mum would prob want auto.

[IN73GZ]

my bad..... i also take back what i said before, however, lets not assume his mum wants an auto, does she prefer auto or manual????

[Tarks]

Yeah my mum bought a 03 DC5 Luxury model, tiptronic coz she cant drive manual...at first she was complaining but now she loves it. Still has her little quarrels when she cant fit all the shopping into the boot though haha

[Tofu]

great choice! :thumbsup:

exactly what i was suggesting...
now she won't have to worry about the value of the car depreciating too much

[2002 TeGgY]

yeh auto hondas go alright, i had an auto da9 and it still hammered any other auto(within reason) and still killed many a manual. However it wouldnt keep up with my manual da9.
yeh OK :rolleyes:

[Tofu]

can you beat eg civic sedans?

[2002 TeGgY]

Tofu, are u talkin to me? if u r then ask urself d same question. we got d same cars dude!!

[bennjamin]

give me a reason to keep this thread open :)

BTW next mention of any racing on the street gets a week ban to think about it :)

[IN73GZ]

close it!
