What do you not like about your Honda Integras!

[South Vietnamese Honda]

Alright guys, was just wondering what people dislike most about their Integras - please give me your top 3.

Mine are.

1. Seating is so bloody uncomfortable - too squashy (and yes, I know it's a sports car but I prefer the seats in the 2000 Accords better).

2. The rear window is so small, nearly impossible to see when reversing.

3. The brakes are a bit stiff, have to break much harder to stop after you reach 120 km/h.

And thoughts or suggestions?

you kidding?? the recaros are nice man!!! :)

rear windows?? im never sitting at the back for i am usually the driver...

brakes are awesome! :).... don't know what brakes youve got in your accord...;)

[Slow96GSR]

1- Not fast enough even with a built motor and turbo.
2- Too many parts to choose from.
3- Everyone wants to race me.

That's about it!

[matt]

why do i get the feeling that is hondaskywalker... with all the references to an accord V6-L.
but ill give you the benefit of the doubt.

my dislikes are
1. it makes me want to VTEC everwhere and use lots of fuel
2. it makes me want to take everycorner flat our using up tyres rather quickly (and 18" tyres are pretty pricey)
3. i only want to make it faster with mods that cost $$$$

but i cant see a problem with any of your dislikes particularly the seats

[Cold Fusion]

"1- Not fast enough even with a built motor and turbo."

why did u have to say that :( now im skeptical :P

i dont like how slow it is
i dont like how even though im not riceing it up im still called a ricer

[Lepperfish]

Turning circle sucks!

[crispy]

Well i know one problem with my LS is no bloody CUP HOLDERS!!!! one major design flaw is the cup holders!

[Cold Fusion]

^^^ thats why i get my GF to drive around with me

[Mikeyas]

hahahaha!!! Im sure thats why she drives around wiht you too!

[sever_all_ties]

1-Turning circle
2-Not that quick
3-N/A modifications cost a bazillion dollars and you get a whole 2kw atw...
4-Ricer cliche
5-Friends complaining about being squashed in the backseat...and some in the front...

[Mr_will]

1- Not fast enough even with a built motor and turbo.

perhaps if you're living in la la land its not fast enough...b18c, + turbo = fast. find me a better 1.8l engine and then your claim might be worth listening to.

[Slow96GSR]

Sarcasm guys!! I have nothing that I dislike on my car. I had to BS most of it. #3 is true though!!

[DVI47]

1. Turning circles suck ass
2. The black part of the recaro's head rest is too hard
3. Get heaps of rock chips on the front bumber

[jooboo]

hahahaha i dislike that it makes u want to do it..but i love doin it..if that made ne sense muhahahaha

[bennyBear]

I dislike how it brakes down lots
I dislike how i can spend $5k on performance mods and it's still slow
I dislike how every crash repairer has a different version of crimson red


I like the fact that it doesnt chew through fuel
I like the fact that it gets minimal attention from police
I like the fact that i dont have to drive drunk friends home because it is 'too small'


On top of everything... I DISLIKE BEING LABELLED A RICER

/rant

[26ounce]

Dislikes:
Crappy cupholders.
Dodgy plastic top tank on radiator
Fuel economy not that flash
Bizarre radio/CD player that is huge and so hard to program
The bang bang bang of the noisy electric aerial
lack of torque

Don't worry, my list of likes is a lot longer.

[Int3gra-T]

i hate that its not a type r....

[aznpsuazn]

at least yours isn't diecast

yes what he said plus.
1)Turning circle.
2)VTEC should come in at about 1500rpm
3)VTEC not loud enough lol:p

[VTi_b0i]

i hate thats i cant find a VTi-R half cut anywhere! lol

[chunky]

ok there is 1 thing
it handles like the tittanic

[yourfather]

1) if I didnt have a honda integra, I wouldn't have to hang out with chunky on the forums.

[quangsta]

i dont like...
the stupid creaking in the back...
the stupid 'bang bang bang' noise from the ariel
the stupid radiator top tank
the stupid gearbox input shaft bearing
the stupid ash tray (cause it got stolen)

the whole car is stupid until i have enough money to mod it to my liking
also i dont like it cause its not a type r or an em1

besides that i love it :)

[slipn]

Big ugly ding on the back cause the last owner could not see a fence?!!
Noises from back sometimes, noises from centre console sometimes....

Not a type R but hey like everyone else i love it!!

[TRU32U]

i like it apart from my variable input shaft and ***n muches tyres like a biatch but thats jus the way i drive...

[Chuckz]

ppl cant keep thir hands to themselves!!

[man.exe]

1. Squaking/rattling all around... it scares the passengers
2. Irritating to get in/out
3. FF = understeer

[fabz]

geting out. thrust bearing in clutch making #$#$ annoyin noise. dints in side coz sum #$#$ ripped a warning sign out and i hit a dip made my car fly . noises all over car from hitting dip. hmmm what else lol

[shebangs]

For me, getting in and out is the only gripe for me. ONLY gripe.

[typsy]

Hassle to get in and out, trying not to damage the Recaros side cushion.
Cannot rest head on Recaros.
Paranoid that it will get stolen overnight.
Every boy racer wants a piece of you.
Uncomfortable on long trips. 2hrs+
Rattling and creaking nosie from the back.
No sunroof.
Hard to find genuine parts at a decent price.

[Chuckz]

also, getting over stupid dips and humps

[1900-hustler]

yea me the same

jus the random noises that come from the console on bumpy roads.. and the fact that it dints too easily.. but both are nothing compared to how much i love the car...

its the best car ive owned =) nuff said

[Honda Enthusiast]

I suppose with all Sports cars there are the the situation of low bumps and humbs lower wheels means better traction control minus luxury. right?

[Mr_will]

well well well....if it is isnt the third incarnation of hondaskywalker.

this is beyond funny now

[chunky]

lol pitty pitty pityy
replying to ur own threads

[krovikan]

1989 Integra XSi

1. When it breaks down, every mechanic has a different story on whats wrong and wat needs to be fixed
2. Colour is hard to match (thats wat they say, i dont see wast so hard... but im not a detailer)
3. Crappy front lights + no real high beams (has fog lights instead) + no better replacment lights for same socket

as for what other ppl said:
1. my seats are sporty (hold me in tight corners) n comfortable (was quite comfortable driving to melbourne n back (Sydney)
2. It has a decent turning circle, better than my mates 2001 WRX and 1991 celica GT4 import
3. have had no understeer probs except in da rain (when im being stupid n recless)
4. Excellent fuel efficiancy n can accelerate pretty quick if i want to
5. maracer mentioned vtec not comming in at 1500... as far if i know, if it did, u would be wasting fuel and would prob lose power at such low rpm
6 love havin only little room in back seat... when i go out with mates to drink, my friend n his commodore usually end up drivn :)

[mikes94]

1. Crappy Milano Red paint (fades reeaallly bad!!)
2. Antenna that sounds like anti-aircraft artillery
3. Uncomfortable and nonsupportive seats
4. Location of the oil filter

[26ounce]

4. Location of the oil filter

I'll second that. Most annoying oil filter location i've ever experienced.

[NA-tuned]

when i did have a 94 dc2 vtir...

1. front bumber not looking like dc2r
2. stock rims make tyres look thick (205/50/15)
3. cost of mechanical repairs were $$$$

[Jomsy]

The fact that honda went to all that trouble adding fake carbon fiber trim but forgot the passenger side airvent

[jooboo]

hahahahaha i noticed that! just thoguht it was my car that was dodgy:P

[marcs]

1. Squaking/rattling all around
2. Lack of torque and no power down low
3. Can not modify because fear of being called a ricer

[typsy]

You modify your car to your own taste, who cares what ppl say.
At the end of the day its your car, you are modding it for yourself.

[Iwishiwasa Type R]

definately chucking my 2cents in this one!!

89 sx16

good:
munches gli lancers.
feels like your on the limit at 60kms, coz you really are (it's fun, serious!).
pop up headlights.

bad:
front torsion bars.
no b18c.
foam spoilers.




dc2r
good:
riced up and tracked spec from the factory
aussie culture loves the underdog!
needs a gear for freeway and highway cruising. (5th gear, 3k rpm, only 70km/h)

bad:
hard to heel toe in size 13 shoes.
not a chick magnet, yet.
more p platers will be driving them

[rollin_high]

well...you wont have much to hate about them anymore...considering they're being CANNED by Honda in Australia by the end of the year!

[GARF]

Yeah Honda's worst decision ever. And there wrong if they think they can replace the integra with the civic. Its a egg shaped car with with no power.
My Teg
1. Got to much dents on it from hail storm (previous owner)
2. Faded paint on the the roof (acceptable since its 16yrs old now)
3. Not Much of a chick magnet as someone said before.
4. Non V-tec(LS 90 thats why)
5. LS auto is so slow on take off (wish i got a manual)
6. Has about 3 oil leaks (really should fix that one day)
7. Seems like it has been around Australia twice and left in the dessert for a yr (has 460XXXkms on it)

But all in all I love my LS .It is my first and only car i have ever owned and that I have the best car at my school student car park. And people still envy me.(Still wish it was manual :( )

[jimus888]

1. big $$$ for parts/ repairs
2. rattles and sqeeks from back somewhere...
other than that im happy.... well apart from the fact its not an R

[SKREMN]

1. cant carry more thne 2 people comfortably
2. too hard to get in and out of
3. too expensive to get stuff done to it
4. no head room
5. impossible to get headlight bulbs for it, da9
6. all 4 models leak water in the boot, yes i got them all at my house
7. cant take be driven hard all the time or will break constently/blow up!
8. too slow, vtec and manual should be minimum otherwise its a dogg...

you can get h4h bulbs off international ebay pretty easily. they aint cheap though.

b18a's are so reliable its not funny. ive seen 380 000km and still stron.

[hondaskywalker]

I guess the Integra is more of a sports vehicle, hence you can't get the best out of both worlds.

not that i know of, it was owned by the mechanic who i used to go to, before i went solely diy.

the majority of the da9 integras on carsales/trading post etc are 150 000+. string on this forum has a da9 with 200 000+ i believe, and it is still very strong.

[franki]

1) my recaros move
2) suspension creaks
3)all parts have honda tax making them really expensive.

but hey, il put up with these minor probs, i gotta get my seast tightened, i fixed the suspension creaks with a louder exhaust, but the parts are always gonna be heaps expensive. :honda:

[supernatural]

1) recaros moving sideways
2) carpet always gets out of place!

even my 94 dc2 is 220 000+ kms..and going very very strong...i guess i hardly rev the car hard unless going for cruise..on normal days i change gear at 2-3k rpm...:thumbsup:

[THE_MASS]

i HATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the buzzing noise it make when you leave the car keys in the ignition and you leave the door open....
that beep annoys me somfin hard!!!!!

I love to clean or work on my car with the stereo on and the doors open but i cant with the teg because of that painfull beep beep noise!!!:thumbdwn:

[FR33K]

i had 330,000 when i changed my engine.. thrashed it everyday and removed the rev limiter for fun and it still didnt blow..

what i hate about my car.. mmm.. front end always bottoms out - not enough suspension travel..and changing cv's every 6 months :thumbdwn:

[jords]

when buying an Integra type R you should never look at it to be a comfortable car, having the 'R' badging means that performance has come first and comfort last.

What i dislike about the R is the gearbox, always difficult to get into 1st and reverse, otherwise for a N/A factory built car they go very hard, not many stock 4 cylinders will rev to 8600 rpm.

[jords]

oh yeah, cruise control wouldn't be a bad thing for freeway driving!!

[1900-hustler]

if the beeping noise annoys u that bad u can get rid of it

jus pull out the fuse for the interior light.. i think its 7A? im not sure but its a 7.5ohm fuse.. gets rid of the beeping wen u leave ur keys in and door open, the beep wen u leave ur lights on and door open.. and also ur interior and boot lights.. haha. i did it to mine lol..

[xzbit]

Or you can unscrew the pin switch from the door, if you want to leave it open and work on your car without the beep.

[ozhonda2006]

Integras are nice, but they look a bit puffy on the front, besides this they are very good cars as my cousin's got one.

[xtercii]

I got a funny feeling that skywalker is striking back again, hope I was wrong. Anyways I like integras because they are nice and sexy looking..haha..I am sticking to the topic..

1. Automatic.
2. Automatic.
3. Being associated with f**ktards that use the phrases "Fulli sick bro" and "Does it have NOS?" You come to this country, you learn to speak f**king proper English!!!
4. The fact I can't afford genuine TE37's at the moment.
5. Drunk, unintelligent, in-bred f**ktards in shitty commodores calling me a rice burner even after I've left them for dead through 'twisties'.
6. Young, dumb f**ktards who have just got their licence, think they're f**king Ayrton Senna or Victor Bray, and want to 'go me' at the lights on suburban streets.
7. F**king automatic...again.
8. It's non-Vtec.
9. Honda snobs. Yes, they exist. And yes, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
10. Continual and f**king annoying issues with the f**king antenna.

[02hondaGRL]

what i hate about my integra - its not a type R. Doesn't have leather, coldest damn steering wheel in the mornings (damn leather), Uh.. I have to use a remote cos its JUST that little bit too far away the head unit... OH... and i can't find damn seat covers for it cos of the racing seats. AND AND AND i still hit my head on the door frame if I dont get it properly, rather low cos of the seats. OTHER THAN THAT.... she's not bad. LOVE LOVE LOVE the quick pick up when over taking - almost feel like I'm a v6 sometimes.

1...NOT FAST ENOUGH
2...AUTOMATIC...(oh well a crook clutch knee forces such things)
3...THE REAR MAIN STARTED LEAKING LAST WEEK
4...AND THE SHOCKINGAFTER MARKET WHEEL CAPS THAT ARE ON IT

[LO_N_SXC]

1: Could be running full potential but its not for some reason
2: No ABS or SRS Air bags :(
3: Its a 16 yr old car
4: When it does break down parts are a pain in d ass to find and once found are very very expensive! :(
5: Creaking sounds when goin over bumps or up a drive way on an angle
6: Half of the interior rattles all the time and most of it is all loose and stuff
7: No matter how bad the first 6 things on this list are I still Love it but I yet feel like its time to move on to something newer.......

[integraz]

Good car overall, build is nice- dc5 btw
Has big interior for a coupe.
Large boot

Bad points:
um noisy engine idle, and also when starting...
needs more sound deadening
Leather interior wears out too quickly
No HIDS
Has crappy tyres

[Cold Fusion]

1. FWD
2. random things always break
3. i get called a ricer even though my car isnt rice
4. random squeeking noises from the back all the time
5, it rattles alot

[ozhonda2006]

I feel it's a fairly solid car - only thing is it looks a bit puffy at the front, the engine is bit noise and when turning the stock suspension are too good!

[KofS2s]

Integra VTi-R 1994 188,000km

from most relevant to least relevant

1. Only a 4-seater. I know the rear space is tiny for most but still should throw in a 5th seat belt, it can still fit 3 skinny girls in the back

2. Rear seat access -front seat maneuverability, once the front seat back rest is swung forward, the whole seat doesn't push forward in one sequence, you have to pull the front lever to push it forward. Very annoying.

3. No cruise control

4. Dash/cluster lighting not bright enough

5. Awkward wiper controls, no adjustable intermittent wiping, doesn't wipe when washer is used

6. Location of fuel filler (should be drivers side)

7. Antenna noise

8. Awkward fan/heater controls

9. Key in loud beeper sound

10. Oil filter accessibility

11. 4-stud wheels

12. Tiny glovebox for a non passenger airbag model

But apart from these minor negatives, most of them related to design/ergonomics, the car is awesome, quality built, excellent performance even at 13 years old.

[edintegra]

DC5
1. automatic

2. it hates speedhumps, my bum gets gets airbourne at any speed

3. a spiderweb magnet

4. feels like one pebble on the road will make my car flip over on freeways

5. uphill battles, acceleration: -30km/h

6. its got good brakes... we all know this, but passengers dont, scaring the snot out of them everytime >.>

[milkman]

1. Recaros wear out (on the base edge).
2. Gotta be very careful of where I park.
3. Scrapage :(
4. It's black so I'm garanteed it'll be dirty.
5. Alot of rattles and creaking.. but thats part of the charm eh?
6. Could still do with more power.
7. Turning circle really does suck. But thats due to the LSD, so I'm ok with that.
8. Why isn't my LEFT vent CF? The bloody right is!
9. Everytime I wash the car due to lack or poor sealing my engine bay gets abit wet!
10. Flawed A pillar/Roof design, water gets in when i open the windows if the cars wet or if I use the washer!@#

from most relevant to least relevant

1. Only a 4-seater. I know the rear space is tiny for most but still should throw in a 5th seat belt, it can still fit 3 skinny girls in the back
buy a 4 door
2. Rear seat access -front seat maneuverability, once the front seat back rest is swung forward, the whole seat doesn't push forward in one sequence, you have to pull the front lever to push it forward. Very annoying.

3. No cruise control
buy an Accord
4. Dash/cluster lighting not bright enough

5. Awkward wiper controls, no adjustable intermittent wiping, doesn't wipe when washer is used
I prefer this, you can use the "mist" function
6. Location of fuel filler (should be drivers side)
I think there are more than double LHD vehicles on this earth
7. Antenna noise

8. Awkward fan/heater controls
whats wrong with them?

[Zilli]

Only a couple of things...

1) Noises and rattles throughout the car
2) Being afraid to park it in common places
3) People wanting to race

[BusterSonic12]

[DC5R]
dislike. no JDM k20a

[Q_ball]

a) Window rattles on the driver side door when closing
b) Door trims on the older DC2/4 models tend be creased easily
c) Antenna looks shiet house - looks like an RC car when up :p

[lOstd]

[ricki_kalsi]

DC2R: Dislike how there is no fake carbon fibre around the left aircon vent! hehehe sooo tacky

[gumbs]

I dislike how the exhaust is a good inch lower than it needs to be making my stock height car bottom out on every thing.
No variable intermittent wipers.
Aircon don't work.
Still haven't painted the bloody thing.

[A-man]

i only have dramas with rwd :P

[sretocz]

I dislike my feking antenna, which I think was broken in purpose so as to not have the RC look. It still goes up half way and has the bang bang bang bang noise which pisses me off, but Im too lazy to get a s2k antenna.

[DC4Integra98]

1. Antenna

2. Turning circle

3. Rattles rattles rattles...

[marky53]

I cant help but wonder what a dc2r would be like in rwd..... as much as i love my car, rwd type r's might be more fun, but then again might take away from some of the things that make our cars what they are....

i find the dc2r quick, not the fastest car around, but its not so much the amount of power, but the way it uses the power which I love.... there are too many things that I like about my car, here are the only downsides I can think of....

1) Antenna
2) fwd
3) milano red fades and turns pink

I know there are things to do to change some of these gripes, but hey im just adding my thoughts to this thread.... by the way, the positives FAR outweigh the negatives.....

[DA9jeff]

just sick of cans of drink tipping over in my car cause of the lack of cup holders. Im not concerned about people calling me a ricer etc. I do supersprints and modern regularity so Ive got all the cams shit on my DA and I love it! The front end of the DA is a bit unco with the 1m long headlights but it kinda grows on you. The best bit is how reliable the B18A is, 6.5k shifts and still going strong (bear in mind its non vtec) :)

[typer00]

Just wish it was a 6 speed gearbox......4000 rpm in 5th gear at 110km/hr sux over a long distance

[T-onedc2]

perhaps if you're living in la la land its not fast enough...b18c, + turbo = fast. find me a better 1.8l engine and then your claim might be worth listening to.
True.
I don't like that most people including many owners themselves don't understand the philosophy, superior performance and driveability of Honda NA's compared to larger capacity turbos.

[gheybo]

i love every part of my integra haah :thumbsup:

[A-man]

i like mine i just dont like workin on it or it being slow :P

[minix33]

i just dont like workin on it or it being slow :P

This man speaks the truth.

[<4n'D>]

This man speaks the truth.

...

gsi is slow, vti-r is annoying for having long gear ratio, type r is not slow at all...

unless youre comparing that to a highly modified 350z hmm?

[MSHONDA]

1. not a type R!
2. sounds in pain when going in reverse.
3. bumpy ride
4. crappy turning cirle
5. confusing wiper controls (or maybe I'm just slow)
6. crappy standard gear knob.
But overall I have to say I love it and handles pretty well.
Oops thats more than 3 isnt it!:o

[nick_sixx]

the fact i dont have a championship white dc5r :(

[nomcice]

- I keep putting money into the bugger
- When you push the front seat foward to get out of the back, the seat doesnt slide foward automatically

[Spoon SiRG]

1. Overall Weight-The reason why people keep doing B18C engine swaps into an EG or EK civic.

2. Long Front Overhang-Sure it looks good,but can be a pain with steep driveways & manouvering.

3. Bad Headroom- Thanks to the OEM moonroof; the rear I dont even wanna talk about. (Applicable to 5"8 height & above)

[oconnor]

Umm...

1. Crap turning circle... A pain to navigate around Westfield Kotara
2. My hatch rattles? alot
3. Parts seem to be expensive
4. I always want to spend spend spend

[_matt07]

the most annoying thing was the bloody antenna...

i ended up buying an s2000 antenna and sticking it on to get rid of that damn shotgun noise and attract less attention to the massive peice of wire sticking out of the car

[GARF]

the most annoying thing was the bloody antenna...

Haha i so agree there. On my DA i just discounted the power wire from making it go up and just manually put it up a little bit. I still get radio heaps clear and well. Just not when im out on long drives to other places, but then i just listen to mp3 CD's then

[kiet88]

I added a switch for my antenna. very simply job.

now i can put the antenna up and down when ever i like - most of the time its down anyway - very rarely use the radio.

I also think the s2K antenna look weird on the integra body - but hey its not for everyone

[dc2dc2dc2]

Alright guys, was just wondering what people dislike most about their Integras - please give me your top 3.

Mine are.

1. Seating is so bloody uncomfortable - too squashy (and yes, I know it's a sports car but I prefer the seats in the 2000 Accords better).

2. The rear window is so small, nearly impossible to see when reversing.

3. The brakes are a bit stiff, have to break much harder to stop after you reach 120 km/h.

And thoughts or suggestions?

LOL i love this guy.
thats all i gotta say.

[jimidy]

rattle would have to be the worssssssssst thing i think
fact that my front bar is fibre glass n craks if i hit a pot hole to hard
and yea not enough power neeed more power ,,, power is good
no one want to race me i try race heaps of civics but they are girls
my car is mad i love integras

[Dane]

1) mine is up on axle stands atm

Thats it so far

[AzKik-R]

its missing 3 diamonds hahahaha
and i want a car to attract a woman with the shave down below

cost so much to milk extra poneys out of the thing.
traveling distances is really sore, have to put a big thick towel on the seat to make it comfy. i'm 6'4, and cant fit my hips in the seats properly.

not sure if its posted, but when it rains and i have the windows down, the water just runs off the sunroof and into the car when going around corners. There doesn't appear to be an 'aquaduct' as such that prevents this around the top of the window

why do you drive in the rain with your windows down?

[Nato]

^^ i meant after it rains and there is water on the sunroof lol

[aaronng]

I've seen someone drive with the windows down when it was piss pouring! LOL

[chinesewhisperz]

well unless u don't have an a/c option you have no other choice BUT to ride with the windows down i say...or stop breathing.

[kiet88]

i guess you should install A/c or get it fixed.

any way, i find it annoying that the sunroof has no auto open or close. it kinda annoying when your driving and want to open the sunroof, have to leave my finger there. even more annoying they u also need to change gears ahha

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

WTF man? yes we dont fit in the seats properly but we can live with it. A little price to pay for a nice car. This thread is about what you don't like about your integras not a slugging match. let everyone have there own say and stop criticising people

[Bludger]

yes, in future, I won't get fired up when i get called a runt again:)

[AzKik-R]

You're not "less than 5% body fat", those little electronic scales aren't very accurate you know.

Hey, I have to appologize, I got the measurements done when I was in NZ, enjoying the acceleration of my Evo powerd station wagon. hahahaa
turns out I'm now 92 kgs, and 7%. either way, the problem is my hip bones do not fit in the seats, and if you think you can loose weight off you hip bones, then you might need to go back to primary school.

High revs on freeway...on 100kmph i think its sitting on 3200rpm...
No cruise control...

4. Non-vtec
Besides the above, i LOVE my integra =]

maybe.. he did say 8,800rpm

things i hate :
1. getting it serviced (honda cant service them properly)
2. no a/c (my fault)
3. parts have to be shipped from japan takes 5 weeks
4. everybodys an expert
5. people trying to scratch/dint it

its not really that hard...i have a 22mm rear sway bar and its still quite tolerable on the rare occasion that i have a rear seat passenger.

yeh it just seems harder then the front....

i dont buy cars for other people or other peoples comfort i buy them for what i like so i dont really care to be honest :P

[AzKik-R]

i am so!!!! racing from ross river to alice springs, 40 degrees!!!! 265 with my girlfriend in the car, with a boot load of camping gear with the air conditioning turned on!!!
and if you like, next time youre in alice springs, come for a ride, i'll let you take the photograph, lol cause its too fast for me to try take a picture at that speed.
i hit a flock of birds, they came out of nowhere, I didn't even have time to open my mouth to say 'aaaah birds'
not sure if this makes a difference, but my car was the demo car for the honda dealer in Darwin
the only mod I've done to it is one of those carbon fibre intake thingys from 0 one thousand or something

Not even close. You can't compete with ~20,000rpm for power. Torque per litre, maybe so.

dislikes... mines a DC5R

1.) CBF changing my Dampers on my colis all the time, its always on its hardest setting so its not a very cruisy car.

2.) everyone wants to race me... my cars not for straight line performance.. You S15's and Sti's lets go King Lake.. or Yarra Blvd OHH YEAH!

3.) i hate doing blind checks, those little windows i hard to pear through..

4.) my driver side electric window vibrates when i close it and crack up my system..

[Wace]

perhaps if you're living in la la land its not fast enough...b18c, + turbo = fast. find me a better 1.8l engine and then your claim might be worth listening to.


True that!!
go tha teggyz!! lol

considering we get nearly as much horsepower per litre as an f1 car, our beautiful little 1.8s are the most exciting and well produced engine's ever made. imo.

only in the N/A category, when it comes to forced induction then there's a different story.
well, it's not as clear cut, you spend $1200 on a honda getting exhaust done, and you spend $900 on a mitsi turbo getting exhaust done.
if the honda can keep up, well, done, but it's usually the turbo that pulls ahead. untill the corner, then its honda's time to shine (hehe stole that from initial d)

[Mitsubishi]

DC5S

1. Blind spot to my right, it's impossible.
2. Clutch feels like it's non-existent, may not be the case for all
3. Type S is in orange? Well, I don't mind, prefer red.
4. Modifications are hell expensive!

That's about all I could think of.

Great car!

hmmm
i'm not really sure here, does honda compete in F1??? lol :wave:
and the comparison is horsepower / literage not completely unrational

hey negative people, i dont like this thread because i dont have much to write in it...Ive got an idea tho, someone start a new thread under "why im in love with my tegra" lol that way i will have lots more to add to this forum. :honda::honda::honda::honda::thumbsup::wave::p;)

[absolutR]

Not even close. You can't compete with ~20,000rpm for power. Torque per litre, maybe so.

whats rpm got to do with anything i said. just in case it wasn't clear enough. Our engine's deliver nearly as much horsepower per litre as an f1.

i'll just get some stats about this,

'for a specific power output of 108 horsepower per liter. This tops the previous champion Ferrari F355's 107 horsepower per liter'
-http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicles/new/reviews/1997/russ091997.html

'the car itself has been Formula Race Tune, cranking out well over 100+ HP per liter, its up there in the ranks of formula 1 racing and exotic cars.'
-http://www.reviewcentre.com

[string]

2008 F1: > 700HP, 2.4L V8 - 291 HP/L minimum

Rpm has everything to do with making high power per litre.

F355 != Forumla 1.

i didn't refer to it being a formula one, just showing evidence to suggest that that main concept is not at all false.

maybe in the N/A class
lol, compare with say an evo, 300hp from a 2.0l that's a cruisey 150hp/l and you will note the redline is a little lower then 20,000

[specialst]

little things i dont like:
- the antenna that was stuck half way (so i pushed it down while the annoying motor inside was on n disconnected the 12v power at stereo loom.
- bushings are fckd
- turning circle
- vtec takes too much fuel
- headlights need polishing

the things i like:
- good power for 1.8l
- looks
- better handling then my DA3
- cup holder!
- $4 coopers oil filter *thankyou trade price*

[DC4Integra98]

the things i like:
- cup holder!


My cup holder rattles!!! OH WHY?

[Bludger]

can't use ashtray and cup holders at the same time.

[b4dnuf]

The plastic bit behind the steering wheel is raised.

Rev Limiter at 8.6K or so. and dash going up to 10K

Makes me want to use Vtak all the time.

I can feel every bump on the road. thank you DC2R suspension

[fezp]

ok are you ready???


here we go:

(DC2R) dislikes: fact that the guy i bought it from (only a month ago).. his sister couldn't see a wall so the paints all come off on the front bar.

the rear bar is yellow in my car (because previous owner had "stone chips" so he got a 2nd hand bar.. bullshit cause how do u get stone chips on the rear bar??) and i found this out because a week after i got the car my neighbour reversed into me due to him being a tosser.. so the paint came off my rear bar

shitty little useless cup holder

rattling sounds when going on bumpy roads.. yes i too am not a fan of the bumpy road

shitty fuel economy when not vtecing only getting 380 a tank. having to get my thermostat replaced

stiff suspension

squishy recaros.. dont get me wrong i love the recaros just not very comfortable when you hav a chik in the car.

everyone wanting me to dump it and do burnouts and shit whenever they see me

everyone wanting to race me even though my car's pretty much stock just got air intake and high flow cat and mugen stickers (yes will be taking off the big mugen sticker due to the dent getting replaced soon)

getting stuck in gears sometimes and not going into gear properly

white colour gets too dirty and have to clean it every weekend

too loud when you have a headache and it wont go any quieter

shitty type R floormatts that are the worst to try and vacuum

turning circle

Likes:

it's a Type R =)

gets attention

VTECCCCCCCCC

fact that i got let off by a cop speeding once.

being able to drift on my shitty semi slicks making me look like a badass cause while im drifting it handles so well

it's only done 68ks when i bought it and was still in good condition compared to the newer 2000 model's ive seen out there.

sounds hecticccccccccccccccc

handling (was good when my tyres weren't cracked)




that's it for now. i think?

[AzKik-R]

WOW!!!!
that's incredible.

I've checked with Honda to see if the 'tosser neighbour' and the 'visually impared sister' were factory fitted, and apparently.... they are not.

I've also priced up to see how much it would cost to fit 'intellegence' to the vehicle, and apparently this only come's with the driver, and cannot be fitted by honda. One's ability to do a burnout or not a burnout doesn't come as an option, you might of picked up your car from hoonda,

I spoke with my mum, she said she would be willing to give you driving lessons if you like, including how to change gears.

And the car was white? no way, a white type R, they're so rare, one would question if you had your eye's open when you went to purchase the vehicle?
I've looked into other car manufacturer's and apparently the white Honda's actually do require more frequent cleaning then other manufacturer's white cars. IE Cleaning a White Honda v cleaning a White Subaru, the White Subaru requires less frequent cleaning...... some might question this claim, but it must be true.... i read it somewhere :wave:


I'm also not sure if you realise that the ability to 'drift on my shitty semi slicks making me look like a badass cause while im drifting it handles so well' comes from having the suspension that it has. maybe i have a very funny retardation, but I'm not sure how one can complain that the car has stiff suspension, and also compliment that the car handles so well? This also ties in with your ability to have fun with the ladies in the car, if you want a shagin wagon, maybe you could get a oddesy??? they almost handle as well.... but dont get it in white, because white might require more frequent cleaning... lol


and the 'sounds hecticccccccccccccccc' and the 'too loud when you have a headache and it wont go any quieter' well this sounds like another case of 'no pleasing some people'. if you like it loud then get a loud car, if you like it quiet then get a quiet car? but dont complain both ways.

also, your list ended up with the comment 'i think' and maybe its just me, but i dont see very much evidence of this in your post? (lol i'm only writing all this because i'm board at work.)

[bodaas]

yesterday, just had a look the white dc5r of parammatta road, actually i like it, the interior everything
but its hard to explain, i just feel dont want to buy integra
it feels so ricer

[GARF]

Rofl, at AzKik-R comments. So funny and true. Good to see your working hard at work,lol.

[fezp]

who said the topic had to only consist of things that came with the car from honda. read the title again??
"What do you not like about your Honda Integras!"

[94dc2tegz]

haha jesus,

just read the whole thing

wot ever happened to naming the top 3 annoyances?

and i think (just personally) this should've been restricted to
"What do you not like about your Honda Integras (factory)"
other wise I could say:
"yeeerh man, i hate how my car smells like shit cuz i cbf walking to the bush to take a piss"

it's too random!!!! and every car/object in the universe will share the same problems cuz u treat them like crap.

but my top 3 would be..

1. rear window hard to see out of (like others have mentioned)
2. I sometimes think I forgot to turn on my headlights cuz it's so dark. But no I did already...
3. the oil filter in such hard place to get to!

[rbk_212]

who could dislike their integra? such a special piece of my life...
however could really use some more torque, although honda have done a fantastic job with the B18.

i just wish it was a 2 litre...K20 anyone?

[garett]

My pushed in front end :mad:

1. No brembos from factory like JDM

3. 16" wheels compared to JDM 17"

[DogAteCat]

absolute crap turning circle!

[thescotty]

Dont like:
1. The over priced repairs.
2. Why theres Fack all room in the engine bay to fix things (DA anyways)
3. although i love the black colour! it gets dirty every time i clean it, just driving outta the car wash its all dusty again!

BUT all in all i still really to love the integras! soo all these dislikes dont matter cause in most cases its wearth the money.

[Tegraww]

1.poor turning circle
2.the annoyying clunkclunk of the electric ariel
3.people wanting to race all the time/being labelled a ricer

the ricer label is the worst and is soo f*in stupid

front wheel drive.... thats about it.

[tiah313]

[kosmo90]

Da9 : You need to be a midget with tiny hands to work on it :thumbdwn:

[dtzeng]

1. Its NHBlack. 1 Birdpoo + 1 Warm/Hot weather = Fade
2. Carbonfibre everywhere else but passenger airvent.

[stevo716]

da9
fwd
cluttered engine bay,
very low chassis so cant lower too much or scrape everywhere
expensive to mod,

[Tegraww]

front wheel drive.... thats about it.

oh yea and of course that
but i can live with it

[ChiLLie]

sun roof is just a lil too narrow ey.. like, for them head bobbing moments.. instead of fitting perfectly up and down OUT of the sun roof... u gotta lean to the side and yeah...

[najdi]

lets swap seats if u dnt like ur recaros i got type s seats l0l very comfy

[Lukey]

dc2/4 stock spoiler

[acurabot]

Well for DC5's

1. OEM Engine Mounts are known to have problems
2. Feels Honda cut cornersin build quality sometimes to save weight
3. Passengers complaining about no having a mirror in the passenger visor lol

[slimx]

i hate the rare parts :( coz wen they brake they cost $$$$$$$$ to fix (my bodykit) lol

[arverson]

well for stock DC5S

1. the leather seats aernt high enough on the sides like recaros. they dont hug you in & u slide from side-to-side when cornering hard
2. coming from an eg, the rear windows seem so small in the rear window mirror.. gives me that sense i gotta be extra aware and cautious when merging n stuff
3. being an audio nut i hate the crappy optional double din it comes with. 6 cd stacker is a plus tho

thats it. love everything else about the car. theres sooo much more good than bad but thats for a diff thread.

time for a different Teg??

[slimx]

nah car jst had a shit week .. fkd up ..
had to be towed 4 times
its been pissing me off lately.. lol.

and all the small things get to me.

I want a convertible.. but not an S2000 :( i still wnat the honda roar.

[GSi_PSi]

chop the roof off ur da9 lol..

[Neesmo31]

da9 ute? Sometime the whole car thing gets you down - but look at the times that it pisses you off vs the times when you simply love driving it.

My car has had its niggles (actually not that much) my main hate about my dc2r is paint and interior. Trying to keep it clean!!!!! I try and get every single spot/tar grime off the paint which takes days on end to clean the whole car. frustration!!!

[slimx]

lol i rekon every cars like that though..

and LOL at the roof chopping

[Tegzieboi_BAR]

I own a DC4... hmm when shoppin around for a DC2/4 i found that almost all of them had a slight issue with the door trim where the vinyl is starting to peel off where the arm rests. Apart from that theres not a lot but when u start doing sussy mods the car starts squeaking like theres no tomorro. Cant drive without music at least at a half decent volume coz the squeaking n creaking will drive me insane hahaha

[slimx]

when i was hsopping for the dc2 omg i couldnt find one that hasnt been in some big ass hit lol.

[ekvtir90]

Dents to easily, the compartments are too small you can't fit jack shit in them, stock wheels are to small.

[act_gooner]

-That its a non V-tec.
-Sounds fair gay (that will change though)
-Stock speakers are shit.

Other than that its awesome.

hahaha i also hated the fact that mine was a no vtec... but that changed... also i reckon SRI on B18B sounded nuts! And in regards to the speakers, u wont find many 90's jap cars with a half decent stereo stock. Soarer would be an exception.

How much did the V-tec kit set u back? I'd love for mine to sound real nice, but I got a shitload of expenses atm so its going to be a while. In regards to the speakers, I have some 6x9's from my VN from way back when I was 16, might just chuck them in, they sounded nice.

[tOniies]

bloody driveshafts are shit.

Hmmm.... the conversion is not a cheap exercise but is very easy and not a whole lot of parts required to do a B18C swap if u already have a B18B in there. U can pick up a JDM DC2R half cut (which is the best option as it should have all the parts necessary) for roughly $6,000-$8,000 and depends on who does the labour it will be a grand or so. Then theres the LS/VTEC swap which will be much easier n cheaper.

Theres plenty of forums on here discussing this so have a search n im sure u'll find some helpful info.

[androo]

This is an awesome thread. Here's my 3:

Turning circle
Slow when not in VTEC (vti-r) but this makes the car more fun =]
Keeps making me spend money on it!

[CRXDEL501]

[slimx]
