DC2 owns for back seat room.... niggest 2 door storage space car i have ever seen, its like hang a sports car ute lol it was very handy
'wtf ?
what rock have u been hiding under?
there is plenty of blinged up tegs.'
the safety of busselton... sheltered country town in the south west... we get B+S utes and moron commodores... no1 but a few even recognise JDM... which is kinda good in a way
'how many nice clean tegs do you see??
there all the same... im not sayin out there is nice
but step out alittle'
i was actually originally reffering to the ugliness of preludes done up with bling not jdm
i havnt seen one teg blinged out yet... and i dont want to because it will make me cry =(
im fed on the jdm of ozhonda!! lol
its personal choice
whats ugly to you might be someones esles pride and joy
ok i know that the tittle of this is integra vti vs prelude vtir
but i made that the title originally becoz i was lookin for a new car and couldnt decide on which one.. well ive always been an integra man but u seem to be able to pick up ludes quite cheaps now..
but personally ive decided on integra for a few reasons one bein that always been my fave honda. the others is id like a more of sport car then a luxo and the integ seems to be slightly more track bred.. aftermarket parts DO seem to be a lot easier to get ur hands on. also personally id rather the car that redlines to 8k rather the around 6k.
anways now that that is clear, a friends friend is selling his teg.
personally i would like to buy a clean stock teg and mod it up, but fact is that ive gotta tight budget and this one is cheap for wat its got.
as "sexc86" said b4 about the not hearing of mugen pistons etc. im a bit sceptical about that also but ive been in it and draged agianst s2k and was not a lot in it at all.. also said about lookin for faults.. any1 know of a good check list that may be more specific 2 dc2s?
i got an RAC check done on cars when i was shopping around for my teg
things i found wrong or went wrong was:
- the honda reverse gear crunch or stickynes - if its in early stages dont worry but if its bad than look into it
- springs can get noisy and sound dodgy (cant give u technical explaination but it was a choosing factor for a couple of tegs for me)
- the door panels wont line up properly if its had major bodywork done, check the gap between the door and wer the windsceen follows along
- the antenna will make a ticking noise as it goes up and down if its bent (should replace them with a s2k one)
- check to make sure the boot board isnt snapped (the flooring in the boot)
- warm the car up for 15-20min and take it for a 'vtec' just to make sure its all running ok
- take the floor matts out and look at the carpet, in one of the tegs i was looking at a few rips and tears wer being hidden with floor mats
- if the windows make a sound going up and down or rattle when they are halfway down theres a good chance the black runner has gone, this is very expensive to fix so dont worry about it
- check the gas struts that hold the boot up, these are also costly to fix
- if theres a metal rattleing sound coming from the back while ur driving check the back seat is bolted down... took me ages to identify what the sound was
- also check for CV joint ticking when u go around corners, these always go in thrashed FWD cars and can cost a bit of $$ and fidleing to fix - not a major issue tho
- make sure theres no stickers covering the rear window brake light - unless it has a spoiler with a brake light
- lastly dont be blinded by nice stereo, mags, aftermarket gear, bling etc, try to look at the car in a stock form and also make sure that these modifications dont hinder the way the car runs in its stock form, always look at modifications with scrutiny just to be sure
i hope i helped, these are all things i went through when i bought my baby (teg) last year
