New Member - Pics of car

[Sir Revalot]

Hi All!

I have just registered as I have recently become the proud owner of a 1998 Honda Integra VTI-R. I used to have a Honda 954RR Fireblade (Motorbike) but had to sell it so I could afford to get a better car for work. I absolutely love the Integra. So smooth and very reliable too! Mine had 93,000km on the clock when I bought it.

I have modified the suspension on the Integra with the following:

- King 'standard low' Springs Front + Rear
- KYB Shocks (non adjustable) Front + Rear
- Whiteline Camber Kits Front + Rear
- Whiteline Blade adjustable 23mm Rear Swaybar
- Rear Strut Brace

After a few initial teething problems (like the fact that the Ebay seller I bought the springs from sent me superlows for the front and I didn't check before installing them :eek: ) it is now absolutely awesome through the twisties! I have owned a few Cars and Bikes in the past, but the handling of this thing is just crazy! I recently had new tyres fitted (195/50 instead of 195/55 profile as they were scraping on the inner front guard around tight corners) and the suspension has been tuned by THR Developments in Adelaide.

Here are a few pics I took of the car when it had superlows installed:

And here's one of my Bike that I took shortly prior to selling it:

This seems like a cool place and it's good to have a lot of Honda info at your fingertips. I'll be popping in every now and then to ramble on and hopefully share some knowledge (if I have anything pertinent to say!)

[Sir Revalot]

Thanks for the welcome all!

Yeah Photography is one of my hobbies (and I forgot to put that into the Hobbies field in my profile!! :rolleyes: ) so yeah once in a while I'll post a pic of something-or-other if I feel it necessary!

The Bike pic took me a few hours of post-processing to do cause I had to select the Bike in Photoshop then make the background black and white. It's going to be printed in large format and go on my wall though. I loved that thing and was very sad to see it go. :( I still say Motorcycling is the most fun you can have whilst sitting down! :p

[Sir Revalot]

[yellow beast]

i had a mate had to sell his bike to get his car in better running condition and he wishes he didn't have to say goodbye to it.
very shiny care dude. nice shape.

[Sir Revalot]

Cheers all!

SINISTR - riding a Bike is just like, well, riding a Bike! :D It's not overly hard, but to ride it fast does require a huge amount of concentration, great reflexes and endurance as well as a decent amount of strength. The thing with Bikes is to move up in levels. You don't start on one like I posted. You start on a 250 or similar with fairly low power output to learn how the Bike responds, then you move up. I've had a Yamaha XT200 4 stroke trail Bike, then RGV250 2 Stroke Suzuki, then Suzuki GSX-R750 (88 model), then a Honda CBR600RR (2003 model) then the 954cc Fireblade that I posted the pic of. As you can see, quite a few Bikes, but well worth it as I learned in a progressive order!

Yeah Yellow Beast it's a shame it had to go, but I still kept my full leathers/helmet/boots/gloves etc and I will definitely get another Bike in the future, even if it's purely a racebike!

Cheers Stoosh - I'll probably register on your Website too seeing as it is purely for Integras! :)
