What do you not like about your Honda Integras!

[androo]

You like the fact that if you have a bottle in your cup holder you can't use your head unit? =]

I LOVE MY TEG. I drove a BMW 335i (twin turbo) it was AWESOME but for some reason I couldn't see myself driving it...

Go the tegs! lol

[RSKEbaby]

$$$$ for 2kw
girlfriend complains about recaros (lol)
stock wheels are too small
wouldnt mind a normal boot floor.

and I hate sydney roads/carparks :P

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

+1 on turning circle, for such a small car its a shocker

PARRAMATTA RD all the way :P

[Neesmo31]

Avid solid torque mounts. lol Nah they are awesome. If you want a smooth comfortable ride - by a soarer or some other shit barge like that.

I think i have been officially converted to honda's for life. Having owned a volvo 240 lol, and 2 nissan skylines R31's (one na one turbo) But i would buy a volvo or another r31.

[Chriskoss]

Today i drove a Nissan 370z, i officialy hate my car. lol

Well no shit, there is no comparison.. a 70grand car vs a 3 grand car lol

[xtan]

1. Needs sound deadening for comfort, but doesn't bother me as I'd rather it lighter
2. Turning circle quite large.
3. Dislike having to vtec at least once every drive, waste of fuel.

[slimx]

i dont see the turning circle problem really? ive driven every integra except a type s lol .. they've all been fine..

have u guys ever drove a GRAnd touring camry? honestly.. u woudlnt be able to do a u turn on the m4 in that lol

[Lil Dan]

whats so bad about the turning circle? worse than an EG?

[burak213]

bro its pretty bad, normal streets you better get a full lock and start from the gutter cause i never make it and i have to reverse it to do the you turn.

[stevo716]

just add a little handbrake action :D

[p3akin]

their pretty bad.. not as bad as the evo's but

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

33GTR is in fact twice as bad as the teg, 5-point turns where most cars should b able 2 do a u-turn haha ...but seriously, my falcon ute has a better turnin circle than the teg

[androo]

EG turning circle? Isn't it good? I had an EG before my teg and it was heaven in comparison! Actually, interestingly, on paper, the EG has a smaller turning circle than a Jazz! However, in real life, our Jazz killed my EG.

[slimx]

hmm strange.. yes a dc5 has a pretty big one .. but its a big car.. as for the dc2s and da's i dno bout u guys but dont do lyk a full u turn do an oval .. i make it everytime everywhere.

how bigs your wheels?
i got 17"s on my car with lyk faily thick tyres?

[Lil Dan]

nah i meant is it worse than an EG? Coz i thought the EG had a decent turning circle.

[androo]

Yeh it definitely has a worst turning circle than an EG. EG's are pretty awesome =]

[Neesmo31]

Mine has a bad turning circle - cos i hate turning the wheels to full lock lol. Dont know why i do it just pedantic i guess. I know its not hurting anything but just dont like doing it!

[androo]

Well apparently it puts excess strain on your power steering system? So good on you! lol

[levi R]

ill take the mediocre turning circle anyday when it results in quick steering rack

[p3akin]

the shocking offsets on dc2r's

[KOHO]

the height of a DC5 base

[burak213]

lack of power below 6000rpm

[Tegraww]

lack of power below 6000rpm

as if?!?!?!

[Tegraww]

GSI has good accel at least, dont really know DC5's

[p3akin]

even when im driving normal.. sounds like im hooning

[RSKEbaby]

doesn't rev to 12k like it should.

[p3akin]

^^ lol..ur not trying hard enough??

[string]

I HATE RUST!


GSI has good accel at least, dont really know DC5's

I wouldn't be shocked if the first gen Integras were quicker than a GSI. The super long final drive absolutely kills the performance. Brilliant car as a daily, my sister has one and it's great. Performance... not in the slightest.

[Neesmo31]

lol at the hoon one. people who think that they are "hairdressers cars" even though they are absolutely brilliant cars in every way.

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

even when im driving normal.. sounds like im hooning

haha sooo true, even with a stock exhaust n any sorta air intake setup anythin over 3k rpm sounds like ur hooning, good when ur not in busy traffic but.

[p3akin]

lol.. my car is completely stock and it sounds like im hooning... good car to cruise along but.. so quite

[Tegraww]

I HATE RUST!

i wasnt classing the GSI as a high performance Integra, the final gear is a killer if you want to go faster quicker but perfect for highway driving.. I just think off the line it isnt all that bad!

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

off the line theres not a whole lot of difference between B18B n B18C... its when u hit vtec thats where all the difference is. I didnt mind the FD in the GSI, good for highways but u could even cruise in 5th at 50km/h so long as it wasnt uphill.

[geeang]

Car: DC2
Top 3 dislikes are;

1 - Blindspot, the blindspot is annoying, you must look carefully.

2 - Turning Circle, it's shocking, even a Toyota Camry has a better turning circle.


3 - Acceleration, when in a race at the traffic lights, you must rev around 2500rpm or 3000rpm then dump the clutch and floor the pedal to the metal, then it GOES HARD, if you don't do this, the CAR is SLOW when accelerating...even a commodore V6 would wipe you off the line. =)~ ;-)

that's my 2cents.

1 - Depends on the person

2 - Completely agree

3 - You've just described launching for pretty much any street car.

[Tegraww]

ha too right geeang

[90KUU]

turning circle - too massive
recaro seats - im asian and i still find them squishy
gear box - so weird driving with 6 gears having driven cars with 5 gears for 2 years
exhaust - it should either be quiet or be loud. the stock one can be quiet and then it can be annoyingly loud in the background when you're trying to cruise.
revs - car revs a bit high(well i think so), im the type of driver who likes to keep my revs under 3k's.

LOL.

gearbox - Keep 6th gear for freeway use. Just use 1 to 5, then when you get to 90-100km/h stick it to sixth. Makes it easier to acclimatise to a 6 speeder.

revs - Honda = VTEC/i-VTEC = 8,000rpm+ redline. If you don't like high revs, errr, find something else.

[Neesmo31]

lol, get a tractorish falcon.

I hate the fact that i might be getting rid of mine soon...

Oh mannn... i wish i had a 6-speed. With a DC2R box ur revving at like 3.5k sittin on 110... i dont have a very loud exhaust, but even then i get a headache after 10 minutes at that speed in 5th. Even at 80 its revvin a tad high if u gotta sit on that speed for a while. 6-speed ftw.

wish i could but im a povo now. spent all my money on the car so i have to savour ever drop of petrol put into the car. i didnt hit vtec for bout 1 week and hit it once today... it felt so good... :honda::honda::honda:

[Jonno]

98 DC2 Vti-r

Dislikes:
Mods cost a lot of money
Oil Filter is in a horrible spot (need tiny hands to get out)
Every commodore wants to race (most p plater)
Getting chased by commodore who got beaten
Not enough room for full size spare, reduced to crappy space saver

Likes:
Beats all N/A 4 cylinders, and most N/A 6 cylinders off lights
Not many in Townsville (I have seen 5 including mine, the other 4 are gsi)
Good on Fuel (Around town 450 on 98 350 on 95, Highway 600 on 98 400 on 95)
Feels good when you hit VTEC
Its small so i dont have to drive people around or be the dd

Don't know what you guys are compling about the size and getting in and out, im 6ft 4" and i don't have a problem

[Neesmo31]

Try that with recaros and not damaging the bolsters!

Dislikes:
- Front wheel drive

- Worrying about passengers sitting on my recaros

Likes:
- Looks sexy from all angles
- VTEC!!
- fuel consumption is reasonable (450kms to 500kms per week)
- Recaros

[Mikecivic78]

car revs a bit high(well i think so), im the type of driver who likes to keep my revs under 3k's.

If that's the way you drive, then I'll be 1st in line to buy it when you decide to trade up. If you always shift <3000rpm, your engine (as long as its serviced well) must be in mint condition.

[Mikecivic78]

Dislikes:
- Front wheel drive


If you dislike this about your car, then why did u get a DC5? Why didn't u get an S2K or S15, or a WRX if AWD is your thing.

[mlc]

If you dislike this about your car, then why did u get a DC5? Why didn't u get an S2K or S15, or a WRX if AWD is your thing.

S2k:
- Only a 2 seater
- Not enough room in the boot

S15:
- Looks a Little outdated
- Not as sexy
- Less reliable than a Honda
- Too common

WRX:
- Didn't want a 4 dour
- Too common

[hotdc2]

Integras less common than a WRX?? You've clearly never been through cabramatta.. 62% of integras ever prodiced reside in the driveways in south western sydney.

[mlc]

You're talking bout integras as a whole, I'm simply talking about dc5rs.
But mate, I have been through cabra. Got mates from uni that live in that area.

[hotdc2]

Dc5rs are a different story. I guess I should say honda in general haha

[mlc]

Lol I know what u mean when u say Honda in general.

[Tegraww]

i want vtec :( but i still F***ing love my honda!!
it still beats most :)

[Mikecivic78]

i want vtec :( but i still F***ing love my honda!!

Once u get a B-series, you'll never know how u lived without it. Ive driven both GSI and VTi-R Integra I. Own a VTi-R Civic, and its 1600 motor is much better than a DC4 engine. A VTi-R Integra however, is even better, the extra torque and power of the VTi-R B18C is nice, the 0-100 sprint definitely feels faster than the B16a civic (-1 full second stock-stock).

Unless your gonna put a turbocharger on your DC4, dont spend a cent on it and save up for a B-series car. It might take a year or 2 (depending on your job) , but u'll thank me for it.

BTW, I love DC2s to death, but even though I'm slower in my EM1 Coupe, IMO its a more Stylish car. That said, each to his own.

Peace,
Mike

[Tegraww]

i just love the style of a DC2 but didnt have the funds for a VTi-R... somewhere along the track i will be upgrading, probs with a turbo at this point because im so attached! haha :P . . WOO DC2

[act_gooner]

That damn beeping noise that doesn't stop for about 30 seconds or until you put your seat belt in when you turn the engine on. Like c'mon, what douche puts their seatbelt on before their engine.

[Mikecivic78]

LOL, whenever I've driven a DC2, that's always shitted me. EM1 isn't as bad. Ur right, what chump puts his belt on before he starts the engine?

[Mikecivic78]

Even though I haven't driven a DC5r, I think the deletion of the double wishbone suspension that was in the EK/EM/EJ/DC2r etc... was a bit disappointing. Penny pinching was responsible IMO.

what?

if you haven't driven one yet alone take one to the track to see the difference between the 5R and 2R

you are in no position to comment.

That's a kinda harsh call Burak213.

There are many factors to take into account, sure the DC5r has a 2L, more powerful engine, but I think that other people will agree with me that double wishbones are more sophisticated (+more exxy) that the suspension setup which is on the DC5r.

I'm talking suspension, not power and acceleration (I know a DC5r will be faster on the track through more power and esp Torque), but I'm talking about handling.

I can supply you with a lot of info from reputable sources which state that the DC2r is the best handling FWD car ever. Even though it's 10+ years old, it hasn't been bested.

Maybe someone else (apart from _BORDO_) can back me up.

I didn't say anything about the power or acceleration about dc5 and dc2

what i meant to say is that you can't nitpick little issues about the dc5 when you dont drive one nor take one to the track to test it out for yourself.

You seem like the typical honda hating person who loves to jump on the bandwagon cause Jeremy Clarkson said the new civic is crap cause of the cheaper suspension option

supply me with all the info you have that dc2r is the best handling car ever. Cause i would agree with you, it is a very hardcore car and the dc5 wouldnt be able to take it off its pedestal.

but that doesnt mean the dc5 isnt a well balanced car.

I seem a bit jaded my friend, I though on OH, flaming is not tolerated, even though you are pretty subtle about it. I don't see more than 1 rep bar on your profile (same as I), so Like I already said, I would like to see some veterants post their opinions.

U said that, Im a not a Hondahating person (WTF would I be a member fo OZH if i were?)... I own an EM1 for fu+ks sake, and I plan to get a DC2r/or DC5r if i can afford it. U are really talking shit here.

Furthermore, I don't give a f+ck what Clarkson says, Ive never seen him review the DC25r anyway, so I have no idea what that comment means.

All I can say is you have no idea where I'm coming from. I love the DC5 for Fu+ks sake, I just wish it came with Double wishbone suspension!

[Mikecivic78]

I do rememebr however, that Clarkson savaged the new CIVIC Type-r (not 'Teg), 'cause it has torsion beam at the back compared to the fully independent setup on the previous Type R Civic (EP3).

Get your facts straight, I'll post some references on the superiority of DC2r setup later,if i can be bothered.

Looks like the thread is losing it's point.

[burak213]

Looks like the thread is losing it's point.

im sure there would be something new to add as i keep driving my type S.

So far only complaints right now are the engine mounts.

what complaints do you have from YOUR integra?

[Chriskoss]

get a room

[Wez_R]

i dont like the fact that dc5r have less raw then the dc2r and that it weighs more and that the dc2r didnt come in blue

[Avalon Shotkicker]

Back on topic: The only things I dislike about my Integra (1996 Integra GSi) is the low headroom (I'm 17 y/o and am already taller than 182cm, I have to drive around like a bogan in a VN Commodore), and the lack of VTEC.

[muzukashi]

lolol yes back on topic: every commodore/falcon wants 2 race even though im driving like a girl

[1900-hustler]

yeah not only that

but you got every single p plater in any car trying to race you hahah

duno if this happens to other people..
but when i park in a slope overnight i start the car and my hand brake light stays on..
it seems my flotation device in the brake resivior gets stuck - not a biggie though but it happens whenever i park on my parents driveway overnight

[Neesmo31]

Flotation device in the reservoir? Huh? If its a DC2 i know they dont have any, and pretty sure DC5s wouldnt either? The onlt electrical device on the reservoir is for low brake fluid. The handbrake has a switch which will turn the handbrake indicator off/on.

[1900-hustler]

yeah thats the one man
its connected to the cap on that white stick lol
and yes it is for low brake fluid.. i think when it parked - the liquid goes on a slope.. so when i go back onto the flat surface the 'float' is still on an angle.. therefore my handbrake indicator goes on until i level the float out again..

[Neesmo31]

pull the cap off, give it a good clean, top up the oil - excellent. :)

[trentd]

Nothing!!!!!!! i love everything about it!!

[Tegraww]

The DC2 is much faster accelerating car then the DC5, and it handles better.
Mod's for the DC5 make it undoubtably faster then the DC2 (modded).
if its stock vs stock its a hard comparison because the DC2 was built originally to go on the track, where as the DC5 they tried to focus on ride comfort and a bit of luxury, as well as maintaining a fair bit of power and handling, but it wasn't the cars main focus like the DC2.

Yeh it is second, pm me and i'll send you the whole document.

the GTR is 12th on nurburgring the last time i looked it was just under the ferrari enzo

That damn beeping noise that doesn't stop for about 30 seconds or until you put your seat belt in when you turn the engine on. Like c'mon, what douche puts their seatbelt on before their engine.

put ur driver seat as far forward as u can. look underneath and u'll see wires with a clip that u can undo. undo that clip and the seat belt beeping will go away :)

[act_gooner]

^^Lol maybe one day, I can tolerate it for now. But one day it might shit me that much that I'll do it.

What i dont like about the Honda Integra, the Aust delivered DC5 or DC2 Type-R's in particular is that it aint the REAL JDM Type R....the story pretty much ends there

[Tegraww]

put ur driver seat as far forward as u can. look underneath and u'll see wires with a clip that u can undo. undo that clip and the seat belt beeping will go away :)

wow thanks!! :D

[Lepperfish]

Isn't the only difference between the JDM DC2R and AUD DC2R the Header?

[Lepperfish]

Dislike about my Integra ~ After driving in heavy rain, water becomes trapped in the door jambs and seals and makes the car stink. But goes away after about 5 mins the next time you drive.

[Wez_R]

Isn't the only difference between the JDM DC2R and AUD DC2R the Header?

ECU and brembo brakes aswell. not sure what else

[Lepperfish]

DC2R needs a 6th gear for free way driving.

[mnc]

^agreed, hence k swap is on my list of things to do before i die...

[Bludger]

ECU and brembo brakes aswell. not sure what elsejdm dc2r doesn't have Brembo brakes.

[mnc]

only jdm dc5r does

[CivicEGSI]

so what there not fast?

[_bORdO_]

^agreed, hence k swap is on my list of things to do before i die...

LOLx3
yeah hard!
Either k swap or purchase a DC5R for me

[pablos8]

Man the antenna's ratta-tat-tat really pisses me off LOL
Beeping when you leave the key in the ignition and open the door
The initial beeping when you first start the car
FOCKIN SQUEAKY BOOT RATTLE FTL

Other than that, love it.


so what there not fast?
Fail you've made a thread on this as well.

[muzukashi]

cant check out the 2 girls in the car behind me cause the type R wing is blocking the fuc*ing view :(

[Normz]

Hahahahahahahahaah. thats gold muzukashi.
What i dont like about the integra is the recaros wear and tear. its hard telling my friends to "jump" in and not slide.

[Wez_R]

Hahahahahahahahaah. thats gold muzukashi.

That wont stop the wear and tear, when people jump in they slide onto the seat

you're scared you'll look uncool by telling your mates to be careful of your petty seats?

[act_gooner]

Don't know if its just me, but it pisses me off when you have to drive slow in 2nd gear. I always seem to get stuck in that annoying speed where you're going too slow for 2nd gear but not slow enough for 1st and the car jumps around a bit. My sisters lancer would easily cope...

[pure_na]

i used to get this with a mates integra. you've got a normal integra yeh? so it should have a 4.4 fd (or something other than a 4.78)?
yeh, it used to drive me nuts. you don't get it with the type r's cos of the 4.78 fd i think. you can be almost at a standstill in 2nd or 1st, whichever you prefer.

heavy clutch dying + lightened flywheel + dc2 gearbox (as above) + start stop traffic (moving but reaaaaaaally slow) + hill = the most annoying fcking bullshit i have ever had to deal with.

[act_gooner]

Yeah I have a gsi. Its really starting to annoy me more and more Especially seeming as at uni there are a shitload of speed bumps around so your constantly stuck between 1st and 2nd gear, feeling like I'm over using my clutch. Another reason I'm considering investing in a BB6.

[Lukey]

just stick to first.

[EVLGTR]

What i dont like about my Integra DC2 Type-R?....it feels significantly slower when you have another thats alot faster (R32 GT-R)

Thanks god ive kept mine for almost 9yrs stock but still running strong when im just happy going out to get groceries/food/daily driven. I hope these two cars will become a collectors item some day

[Vvvtec]

-Turning circle is horrible (Saying that, how often do you need to U-turn?)
-VTEC uses wayyy too much fuel
-VTEC. ALWAYS makes me want to keep it in 2nd just that little bit longer to hear crossover, contributing to point #2. Annoys the **** out me, it seems to override my own self-control lol.

Other than that, nothing but praise for the DC2.

I've thought about this before. Even though in it's own right the ITR is quick, it can't compare to a GT-R.

Out of curiosity dude, how do the two compare? You own my two dream cars you son of a bitch :P.

...seriously though, how do the strong points of each car compare? (DC2R=Handling/corners, R32=Power AND corners)?

Obviously your Skyline is going to own the Integra in the power stakes, but is there anything in the Type-R that impresses you over the Nissan?

LOL yes, fuel economy.

[pure_na]

LOL yes, fuel economy.

lol what do you keep the type r for? a daily? do you ever feel like driving it instead of the gtr other than to save fuel :P?
reason i ask is because when i upgrade, it will be to a much faster car, and faster around corners too, so while i have no intention of selling the type r (it's worth quite a few grand more to me than anyone would pay) i'm trying to work out when i would want to drive it.

[Indie]

I spent quite a while looking at Silvias before I settled on a Teg, and I do wish the turbo was optional; I'd rather have an NA vehicle at this point. This is also what put me off the WRX. These insurance costs for turbo vehicles are ridiculous. Not to mention the cost of servicing a turbo and an AWD. The S2000 is nice, but I'd want a Mugen hardtop, and they're a more challenging drive. Obviously well out of my price range, too. I was more in the market for an MX-5 than an S2K.

Likes: The Integra gave me certain elements I like about those vehicles, but also the practicality, reliability and economy of a Civic. Seemed like a great option. I also managed to get a '99 GSi with 110,000kms and full dealer service history for $6k.

Dislikes: The previous owner scuffed the front bar, and installed horribly cheap 'F-1 Rally Wheels'. Mother Nature also hailed on the bonnet, the bitch.

[pablos8]

Baaahhh the DC2R wing really sucks when trying to look at hotties behind you :(

Had a girl driving behind me in an evo 9 and couldn't see her face properly .. LAME

[KC.]

yes. this!!!^^

probably the first thing i noticed about the car when i got it on friday....

[davidvtec]

i had the integra vti-r as my first car. THE CLUTCH WAS SO HARD TO LEARN LOL its like theres two stages of it.. but i got used to pretty qiuck :) also the back seat room is pretty small.. i saw my mates sitting in the back seat and they didnt look to comfortable.. thats about it i reckin

[act_gooner]

What's with 90's Japanese cars fans always blowing even when the aircon or heating is turned off. Totes annoying haha.

[stevo716]

hence the fan switch sensor

It blows as soon as my car starts. Same thing happened when my sister had a lancer.

[stevo716]

mmm fair enof, it shudnt lol

[mikul]

passengers complain its too small and squashy at the back and had to duck their heads making them uncomfortable lol ><"

[funworld]

passengers complain its too small and squashy at the back and had to duck their heads making them uncomfortable lol ><"

Yeah, people say that about my DC5 ... but I don't care, I didn't buy my car for the purposes of passenger comfort, hehe.

One thing I don't like is how I have to reach so far back to get the seatbelt. Well, hardly a dislike, more of a slight nuisance, I guess ...

[SpoonS]

I hate how my car's all in pieces :(

[RJL]

1. Antenna - Too long and to me it looks ugly
2. Carbon Interior Bits - Don't match with passenger air vent lol
3. Fuel consumption below half tank

[Bludger]

does your car consume more when at half tank?

[Super-DA9]

Just the rattles... the god damn rattles...

[p3akin]

does your car consume more when at half tank?

lol. thats how i read it aswell

[RJL]

does your car consume more when at half tank?

yeah ive noticed when i fill up full tank it takes quite a while to get to half, but from half it eats away quicker.

[Indie]

That'd just be the gauge though, right?

I like that nobody wants to sit in the back. It means I have to give less rides. And even though there isn't much room on the back seat, when you put the rear seats down, there is plenty of room in the back seat/hatch area for, ahem, certain activities...

[Vvvtec]

yeah ive noticed when i fill up full tank it takes quite a while to get to half, but from half it eats away quicker.

+1. Had the exact same thing in my eg lol.

[Moey.C]

how mine dosnt flutter :(

[pablos8]

how mine dosnt flutter :(

:thumbsup: DOO EEEETTTTT

[tiah313]

+1. Had the exact same thing in my eg lol.

all old hondas have this problem as the design of the fuel tank,

[Bludger]

No it isn't.

the fuel at half tank is dirtier, that's why it consumes more.

[DC28OY]

yeah ive noticed when i fill up full tank it takes quite a while to get to half, but from half it eats away quicker.

yea same here, when full tank i get like close to 300ks to half tank, and then like 160ks to empty if that makes sense lol :S

[Mikecivic78]

Fuel guages on these old Hondas are innacurate. last half goes quicker on my Em1 aswell.

[Bludger]

no its not.

car burns more fuel in last half cos fuel is dirtier.

[Jon_51]

but if that were true wouldn't it be worth your time to fill it up when you hit half full everytime?

[Super-DA9]

well thats weird because mine chews through the first half a little bit faster i think, maybe because when you've got half a tank the cars a bit lighter?

in all honesty though i think a lot of people think they're losing fuel faster but it's just that sometimes they drive differently.

and yeah I've heard that fuel gauges mostly through the late 80's and the 90's are inaccurate as the needle only moves when the fuel level gets to certain points, although it moves very slowly...

[Mikecivic78]

no its not.

car burns more fuel in last half cos fuel is dirtier.

please explain. Why is it dirtier, and why does it burn more?

I always check my fuel economy and if I fill up at half tank or fill up when the tank is close to empty, I have the same fuel economy reading. This makes your statement hard to believe. Inaccurate indicator would be more plausible. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[EVLGTR]

no its not.

Does it happen to all cars?

[_bORdO_]

I guess you hVEN'T BEEN on ozhonda long enough. sorry.

You fool, how about next time you give an educated answer.... dirtier... my god...

Some tanks are not a square box, it may be larger toward the top then narrow out toward the bottom hence why the bottom half goes quicker.
It also has something to do with the fuel tank float and needle.

Better explained - This is the correct answer. Enjoy.

only cars owned by ozhonda members.

does it happen to yours?

[CaptainHeff]

on topic - my top 3:

1. i can't drive it yet - get my P's next week D:

2. previous owner doesnt know how to attach the bodykit.

3. unlocking the car is a constant battle

[Indie]

No, you're useless.

Don't correct someone's spelling unless you're using correct capitalisation and punctuation, champ.

im..... im, sky high

[tiah313]

the rear wiper wipe way too fast

[michaelz]

it's FWD.

[munkaii]

Passenger rail on my dc5r doesn't slide when folded forward for passengers. Is it just me? Or is it because of the fact that I've switched passenger and driver recaro?

[charliebrown]

1. SO FKN HARD TO PARK AND GET OUT OF PARKING SPACES... turning circle is dick, can't even do a U-turn on a 2 lane road without reversing halfway. takes me about 5 times going back and forth to reverse to successfully get out of a parking spot
2. im short so i can't see when i'm reversing and can't do headchecks because all i see is my seat.
3. steering wheel so stiff compared to all other cars i've driven, thus gotta turn with 2 hands instead of using palm roll
4. weird noise coming from the back when letting go of brakes, sounds like someone just rear-ended me
5. keep scraping my front lip on driveways (my cars not even lowered wtf)
6. horrible fuel economy, but what can you expect from a car made 10+ years ago

[act_gooner]

Man, you are a mad hater. Turning circle sucks, yeah I'll give you that. For 2. most people complain about being too tall and not having enough head space... Steering wheel is fine, maybe you should get it checked. And yeah, you will have to take practically all driveways on an angle, you get used to it. As for fuel economy, maybe you'd be better suited to a Prius?

[androo]

1. Learn to drive

3. Go get it checked or go gym - I use my palm fine.
4. Get it checked - That's not normal
5. Again, learn to drive
6. What are you used to? 35L takes me 450km+ if you're not getting that, get it checked or learn to drive =]

Dont blame your incompetence on the car.

[charliebrown]

Since the title is "YOUR honda integra", the things im hatin on might not be present on you guys' cars

1. I'm sure ANY driver... can't get out in 1 go of a tight spot on my car, it's fkd
2. not a problem unless there's a pole behind the car that's 1m tall
3. compared to camrys and corollas ive driven, it is really stiff and hard to turn, but once again, may just be my car being shit (or does it have something to do with being FWD?)
6. i'm getting around 290-300kms on a tank, very very fkd

[act_gooner]

I've driven my gf's Corolla and the steering wheel feels way too loose imo. Same with my friends Pulsar. Teg gets it just right imo.

[charliebrown]

Isn't loose good? Really easy to park/turn in a hurry. They feel electronic though, not raw like you're actually moving the wheels yourself

[acurabot]

Turning circle sure is shit but steering is meant to be stiff so that when going over bumps (in track scenarios), the steering wheel doesnt toggle as much compared to soft steering wheels.

If your not getting 450kms+ on a full tank, then get your O2 sensor checked.

[charliebrown]

FWD. The Teg should have been RWD.

[1900-hustler]

i love the steering 'feel' in the dc2r.. its so solid

when i drive the corolla or my mrs subaru its so light and feels artificial..

the turning circle is poor but unless your doing a u-turn on train tracks with a train hurtling towards you its not a big deal..

and yes i could do palm roll on my teg too lol..

i understand if your a chic - but if your a guy you sound weaksauce lol

This. Steering on the Teg is awesome. The only thing that sucks about my Integra is lack of V-tec and lack of power in a straight line. The Integra is by far the funnest car I have ever driven when corners come into play. I haven't driven anything amazingly awesome before though :/

[charliebrown]

I have troubles U-turning in small streets and going down spiral ramps in shopping centres. I blame the turning circle but it's just me being a shit driver. :(

[Vvvtec]

I have troubles U-turning in small streets and going down spiral ramps in shopping centres. I blame the turning circle but it's just me being a shit driver. :(

in all honestly, the Integra(DC2/4, not sure about da9) has a shit turning circle. It's a known aspect of the car... Go check your power steering fluid and lift heavier weights lol. Stop complaining!

[stevo716]

just fyi, the da9 has a pretty good turning circle :)

[1900-hustler]

I have troubles U-turning in small streets and going down spiral ramps in shopping centres. I blame the turning circle but it's just me being a shit driver. :(

u turns in small streets can be a pain - esp because DC2Rs have issues with getting into reverse sometimes lol.. i have to go to neutral, then first, then neutral then reverse all with a clutch pump in between..

but down spiral ramps in shopping centres? if i can manouvre a dual cab hulix in a shopping centre a teg should be a piece of cake lol..

if your a big guy then yeah a palm roll going right using your right hand could be an issue.. but you got 2 hands yeah.. just use the left one =D

[GSi_PSi]

its not just dc2rs its basically all b series hondas, same with my old dc4, dc2 ,delsol, prelude

[1900-hustler]

you talkin about getting the thing into reverse?

[p3akin]

i think he is.. mine doesnt happen that often but

[1900-hustler]

yeah neither does mine.. but it seems to happen when im in a rush lol..

i think if you let the car come to a complete stop before trying to slot into reverse it goes in 9/10 for me

[p3akin]

i notice it when i dont full clutch when in a rush.. other than that.. its pretty sweet

i blame the turn circle lol.. if i dont need to 3 point turn a U turn.. it wouldnt happen lol

[smallsn]

the front is smashed :(

[charliebrown]

Oh and i just remembered one thing else i don't like about it! THE DOOR OPENS SO WIDE... i've yet to hit another car, but brick walls have happened.

[Killa From Manila]

that just sounds like your own stupidity for opening the door into a brick wall. you're tiny as fcuk, so why open it all the way?

[charliebrown]

When you're holding stuff with 2 hands, and you nudge the door open with your knee, sometimes you accidently open it a notch more than you intended to?

[newpaddy3]

Killa From Manila makes killa lolz.

Why don't you put the things down, open the door, pick the things up then exit the car? Or exit the car then remove items from said car?

Thing I don't like about my Teg, it's slow :(

[Bludger]

When you're holding stuff with 2 hands, and you nudge the door open with your knee, sometimes you accidently open it a notch more than you intended to?are you that old lady driving the green dc4 on the eastern the other day?

[act_gooner]

Its not that bad, but since I'm traveling tomoz thought I'd post what I'm going to find annoying.

[dougie_504]

water leaks

[Shraka]

1. Poor lumbar support on the seats (I'm getting old, long drives make my back ache)
2. Torque steer
6. No LSD, on my VTiR anyway
7. FWD
3. Crappy plastic top tank on the radiator (I have a new one now)
4. The clutch seems to wear out quickly, but that might just be the way I drive
5. The price of standard exhaust parts (I like to keep it stock)
8. The tightening bolt for the steering requires the sub-frame to be removed (so my mechanic tells me).

The rear boot lip sometimes annoys me when I put heavy things in my boot, but then it is a sports car so I really forgive it for that. I can also forgive it's poor turning circle.

Despite all that, even though I have the money to upgrade, I really can't find another car I'm interested in replacing my DC2 with - apart from an E46 BMW M3, which is outside my price range just now. ;)

[dciisir]

For my old dc2 vtir

1. Temperature lever is a bitch to move.
2. Small rear window, hard to see out.
3. Rear water nozzle doesnt work.

[poweredbyhonda]

How about the things we like about them?
I love DC2s, parts galore and they a freakin awesome to drive on boost with v-tec!
If only they all came as Type-Rs in standard form. They are the ultimate street weapon IMO.

[Vvvtec]

Wouldn't that be something! =P

[Draban]

1. Finding parts in North Queensland
2. Price of replacement parts
3. Cant find a good mechanic for it

[cph3r]

1. Oil filter location
2. Lack of lumbar support on seats
3. Shocking stock headlights

4. It's a GSi
5. FWD
6. No turbo
... My mate just got a WRX
*fml*:mad:

[act_gooner]

I've owned 2 tegs and personally, have always found the stock lights woeful. Again, personal opinion.
WRX's being common does not change the fact they are a flapping adrenaline rush to drive, and they sound purrrrrty.

It's all in the turbo though, they'd make any car a roller coaster of a ride.

If only they all came as Type-Rs in standard form. They are the ultimate street weapon IMO.Hm. The ultimate street weapon? I'd say that an Evo or a GT-R would lay some claim to that title...

[_bORdO_]

RX-7 spirit R would b in that category

But everyone knows an Evo and a GTR are weapons its hardly a secret, but with cars like that and really any other it comes down to driver. I have seen some wicked cars wasted by bad drivers.

Better than wasting your life in a wheelchair or jail after wrapping one these 'weapons' around a pole...

You can only do so much within the speed limit.

[integragsi96]

dislike:my integra isnt shooting flames

lol
1. get bigger fuel injectors.
2. get an apexi afc neo and dump more fuel into the engine creating it to run more rich resulting in some black smoke coming out the rear when you boot it and sometimes flames shooting out.

You can only do so much within the speed limit.This is true. Cops are everywhere now, not to mention cameras, which makes speeding practically an impossibility. A good street car (weapon...?) should be capable and enjoyable within that 0-110 bracket. The rest is irrelevant.

In fact, the term 'street weapon' is pretty ridiculous. Any weapons-grade ability is only ever usable on the track. People who think of a cars as 'street weapons' are the ones who wrap them around poles. Even an Evo, in stock form, is more of a track car than a street car.

Has anyone else had water bubbles come into their tail lights? i've seen it on another teg i inspected when shopping. now its happening to mine. apparently cops can get you for that if they really wanna screw you over? i know you can get rid of it by using a blowdryer, but it'll probs happen when i wash my car again

Get a drill, and make a couple of small holes at the bottom. It'll allow the water to escape. Mine had water in every bloody light when I bought it, even side indicators. The mechanic said he could source new ones for me, but that it would be much cheaper and easier to drill the holes. Worked a treat.

[charliebrown]

Could you post a pic of the holes you drilled by any chance? I just wanna see how they look and where abouts you drilled them.

[Indie]

Just use a tiny drill bit, and make a hole that's only a couple of mms. You can remove the lights and drill on the bottom if you're worried about it being visible, or you can just do it where it's (barely) visible. There's no real method to it, just any tiny holes to allow built up moisture/condensation to escape will do the trick. Sorry I can't get a picture, but you can't really go wrong.

[charliebrown]

What if you drill into something that makes the light no longer work lol. i dont know whats inside those lights but i'd imagine wires or something

[Indie]

Really, the plastic is a few mm thick, so just drill slowly, and as soon as you feel the drill has gone all the way through, stop. There aren't any wires in the light itself, they all lead out the back. All there is inside the light housing is the globes, which are easily avoided. Just use a tiny drill bit, and drill a couple of holes. It's dead easy. ;)

[charliebrown]

Im too pussy hahah

thanks for the tip though, might end up using it down the track if i get done by mr popo

[poweredbyhonda]

Yeah we all know the GT-R, EVO, RX7 etc can push out monster power, but there is so much potential the DC2 Type-R has to offer. Have you ever driven a boosted B18C7 on the street? Not many cars can keep up or would even suspect it can burn them. I'd rather own a Boosted DC2R than a GT-R. That's just me.

[Vvvtec]

Mate even a B18cR/7 in a eg/crx shell is a street weapon...

I no longer have anything I dislike about my Integra.. Car is no longer in limp mode :)

[Indie]

I don't see the point in driving a track car on the street.

[newpaddy3]

There should be no such thing as a street weapon.

[act_gooner]

For the street looks, sound and comfort are the most important things imo. Obviously power is fun but there is really know point in having an aweful lot unless you take it to the track, which most asswipes don't.

[Super-DA9]

Dislike: that it started burning a bit of oil and giving out a bit of smoke on the high end :(

gotta fork out $800 for valve seals... *sigh*

[dlai5552]

Stock AUDM DC5R definitely does not have enough power.
Also, needs larger brakes, maybe should have kept the JDM brembo ones on the AUDM DC5R!

how they're front wheel drive

[_bORdO_]

LOL @ nuggetR

[_Dee]

lol i want a turn =)

-Front wheel drive (understeer, but hey i kinda learnt how to deal with that, i drop my nut less to understeer then oversteer >< still love rwd though)
-I have no vtec to hear (my solenoid needs fixing/replacing)
-Noises while driving
-My Si-Vtec is only 4 lug >.> i like 5 bug oh wells
-Im over it (but slowly getting back into my car >.>)
-Its silver
-Its not a type R
-Ricer cliche
-If som1 sits in the rear left seat for too long apparently their asses feel wet....
-Makes me want to corner hard... even with bald wheels
-Stock height yet SiVtec lip still scrapes on some dips and driveways etc
-Antenna dont work
-Needs 6th gear, just for the fun of it and highway, always thinking abt putting it into 6th to realise i cant becoz its reverse >.>

Now some good comments:
- Even though its an NA and does not make much power, its pretty quick i reckon as it is light, it has some modding potential and this is all motor, i dnt believe in turboing an NA vtec engine but it will cost a shitload
- It might not be a weapon unless you turbo it compared to nissans rb26 or toyotas 2jz but with some slight mods, it will and have seen it beat or keep up with some turbo cars like a gtst etc
- Its fun to drive and revs high
- It was cheap and i dont mind pouring money into it as a 1st car to learn about it, sure its not a type r, im sure with a shitload of money its possible to make it handle like one or close (dont want dc2r owners to flame me) but its a 1st car, i didnt want it to be expensive i wanted it to be a nice daily with some kicks and i dont plan to mod it hardout i just want to do simple bolt on modifications to have more fun factor, ill buy a mean turbo machine after =)
- Its not an egg civic =)
- I dont get called "Asian civic boi" (in asian accent)
- Its an Si-Vtec, not as common as vtirs, and just behind the type r
- Heck its my 1st car, sure i got over it after a few months but realising there were problems arising in the car before i wanted to sell it made me more inclined to keep it and fix it and then mod it for fun
- It aint no cheapy GLi Lancer with dragon stickers in automatic made to look like F@F cars, im happy it does not make 69kw at the fly like they do coz imagine at the wheels >.>
- Appreciate what you have instead of what you dont, work for what you dont have later =)

[e3lipse]

How quiet it is below 4 or 5k rpm
The constant beeping when i insert the key, it's more annoying then the beeping in my Honda Jazz
The 5 seconds of beeping when i start the engine. (is this a problem?)

[Super-DA9]

nope it's meant to remind you to put your seat belt on. you can stop the beeping from happening by reaching under the seat and unplugging the wire to the buckle.

[Indie]

Oh God, the ****ing BEEPING!

Plus, it's not an Audi A5.

[newpaddy3]

I disconnected that wire from under the drivers side seat, sooo much better.

Dislike the fact that it understeers, has no power, and it doesn't clean itself.

[dougie_504]

Funny my brother's '98 DC4 beeps when your belt isn't on but I don't think it's loud or annoying at all compared to how my EH9 was. But I removed my seat and unplugged that damned wire so now I can prime my fuel lines in peace while I do my belt up :)
