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
-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.Quote:

...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.Quote:

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.
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
yes. this!!!^^
probably the first thing i noticed about the car when i got it on friday....
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
