I'd go a VTEC Civic or S14 200SX. It'll be good when you get into a manual! It doesn't even need to be that quick, it'll be so much more fun just having a manual box.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

How can something be technically better looking :D

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

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

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

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

mines like 1 of 3 modded hondas in my town.

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

Starting to part out slowly, anyone want some shit?

Your rear window visor :)

But how to post? That is the question...

anyone know where I can get those metal things your indicators slot into inside the bumper? i need a set for facelift and i can't find any!

starting moulding and shaping up to size some custom flares for all 4's ..

also played around with the Apexi vtec controller got it kickin in at 5500 and drop off point at 5000
just saves me from revvin it out all time just to have a bit of spert actions here and there ..

today i finished swapping out all the bushings on one side of the rear on the DC2 to hardrace. gotta chuck all the components back in then move on to the next side.

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

just paid for one of those $700 turbo kits from ebay for shits and giggles ..

will see what its like when it arrives :p

haha lol - i like it debaged too

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

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

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

Yeah, the debadged look is really growing on me. Some cars look better badged, but the DC2 front looks nice and clean without one.

badge

http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...r/5e04abf4.jpg



no badge


http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i1...r/c4fa312b.jpg

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

^one of the hottest dc2rs ive seen, so simple but looks great!

i like the badge on

committed to selling my car today, spread the word to all your friends

lolwut?

@ indie what did we buy from you sorry?

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

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

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

good luck with it bro..

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


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

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

time will tell.

Exactly right,
if i hadn't all ready gone through with the k swap i'd be on my way to brissy right now.

any way, good luck man.

Installed remote central locking :3 Now i can be even lazier !

In regards to the badge look, might get flamed but I actually like the plain silver badge on a DC2R.

i thought about doing this but got worried about losing badges so i never put one back on lol

Just touched the vtec this
Morning in my dc2r for the first time ever

Feels alot better then my Old Ek powered B16 that's for sure! Now I clearly understand why people say if your gonna try and be a type r just buy a type r because you really won't get a replica that comes close to
The feel

asif you wouldnt hit vtec on a test drive ?

Lol maybe I should have stated the comment of hit vtec for the first time while in my own possession of the vehicle ...

snapping 2nd and 3rd's ?

i had someone test drive my car... 2nd gear vtec to redline. I was hella pissed off

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

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

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

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

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

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

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