to the local store..
- window rattle
- noises from boot/back of the car.. <- what is that???!
- water marks on window which dont go AWAY!
knowing this, you still buy "a car thats not made to fit your size", ie, made for runts.....Quote:

3. parts have to be shipped from japan takes 5 weeks

5. people trying to scratch/dint it
I dont like the super hard rear suspension kills my passangers lol
and i hate worrying about having the car broken into/stolen all day during work....
I don't like having 1 degree of caster.
everyones an expert thats a good one good to c u saying that if u get ur car serviced at honda instead of doin it urself.....
yeh i only noticed the hard suspension in mine (rear) whats with that do they all have 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.Quote:

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
only thing i hate is that i love the car so much i baby and protect it way too much.
love it so much that you're selling.....:confused:Quote:

i back that comment
Not even close. You can't compete with ~20,000rpm for power. Torque per litre, maybe so.Quote:

u can buy them :)
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..
The cracking up with ur system could be reduced or fixed with a voltage stabilizer. just my one centQuote:

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!
hmmmQuote:

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;)
there a really well enginered car and i dont think u guys realise it...
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.Quote:

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 classQuote:

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*
My cup holder rattles!!! OH WHY?Quote:

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
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?
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.)
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
Rofl, at AzKik-R comments. So funny and true. Good to see your working hard at work,lol.
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!"
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!
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?
My pushed in front end :mad:
1. No brembos from factory like JDM
2. 20kws less power than JDM
3. 16" wheels compared to JDM 17"
absolute crap turning circle!
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.
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.
it cant drift
Da9 : You need to be a midget with tiny hands to work on it :thumbdwn:
1. Its NHBlack. 1 Birdpoo + 1 Warm/Hot weather = Fade
2. Carbonfibre everywhere else but passenger airvent.
da9
fwd
cluttered engine bay,
very low chassis so cant lower too much or scrape everywhere
expensive to mod,
oh yea and of course thatQuote:

lets swap seats if u dnt like ur recaros i got type s seats l0l very comfy
dc2/4 stock spoiler
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
i hate the rare parts :( coz wen they brake they cost $$$$$$$$ to fix (my bodykit) lol
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.
(DA9 integra) heres a hole list :)
- Carpet wont stay on
- Nose of car is to longgggg
- Headlights go YELLOW and wont go away
- Bulbs are H4H not H4 -_- and i cbf to convert

- Insurance is IMPoSSIBLE IF U ARE UNDER 21

- If a truck drives past me at more than 100k's my car flies either into the truck or the other way into another lane lol
- Unfixable Glove box screws (the pattern INSIDE the hole seems to be ****ed -_- and requires a hole new dash to fix it)
- The IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE OUT GUAGES

I want a convertible.. but not an S2000 :( i still wnat the honda roar.
chop the roof off ur da9 lol..
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!!!
lol i rekon every cars like that though..
and LOL at the roof chopping
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
