Brisbane is a fairly big city. One will turn up sooner or later.

BTW, whats ur budget? You didn't get the silver one, so I'm guessing ur budget is less than $11K.

I love my EM1, but maybe if I find a mint, unmodded DC2 I might buy it. I want more torque, even though the em1 has got a more modern look. Originally I thought I might upgrade to an s15/DC5r, but I'm not going to be able to afford it. I've toyed with the idea of turbo EM1, but it would be too expensive.

I want a coupe, but lately I've been looking at some mint MY'00 WRXs. They are very cheap these days, peeps are asking $12-$14K for low km (<140,000km), mint and unmolested examples. Talk about bang 4 ur buck (0-100 in 6.6 secs bone stock!). Depends on ur budget, but you can find some higher mileage ones for <$10K. I won't look as sexy as a Honda coupe, but it'll give you A LOT of fun and they are reliable.

Are U after just an Integra, or would u be happy with a VTi-R Civic? My EM1 is mint, well looked after and it's had an easy life. When I upgrade I will wanna get at least $10K for it if u might be interested then.

Thanks for the offer man! To be honest though, I am after an Integra. Like you mentioned yourself, I'd like to have that little bit extra torque, plus I just have a thing for the (facelifted) shape. Interior is damn sexy too IMHO.

As for my budget, I very nearly got that silver one. The only thing holding me up is my current car. I need to sell it before I can buy another, as a chunk of my cash is gonna come from that. Tbh, $11k is probably the most I'd pay for a Vti-R, afterall these cars are 10-12 years old already.. Saying that, if I found THE one, like that silver one, I'm not going to have any trouble whatsoever handing over the cash :P

But like you say, and really struck me is that Brisbane is a large city. It's only a matter of time (inbetween) a fine example turning up. I've already seen 3 sell that I'd have been satisfied with. So I guess it's only a matter of time before the next turns up and everything is in place, with my eh selling and getting my tax money back too.

I hope u find ur 'teg.

Still, today i went 4 a surf down the GC... whenever I'm on the freeway and I plant the EM1 into 3rd (within the speed limit of course) and let it hit vtec everyone that hears the b16a roar and sees the acceleration reacts. Even SS commie drivers usually smile or give a thumbs up. Its a great little screamer. As far as torque goes, as long as u slip the clutch, you can get it going from a standstill reasonably quick, although the DC2 doesnt require as much driver involvement to get it moving due to more low-down torque.

Even though I'll get a Subie fairly soon, I will never forget that b16a sound. It's priceless and truly turns heads :P

I love that man. B16's truly do sound amazing. I know it's nothing in comparison, but even the little D15b in my Civic has a nice note over 4k.. The sounds that come from our Honda's are beautiful

You may all be thinking it's a SOHC 1.5L, but it does sound really good haha.

Alex, are you only looking for a facelifted teg?

Yeah I am. '98+

Good to see that your taking your time and not rushing in buying a car.

**Vvvtec** · 21-07-2010 08:51 PM

Thanks man. I am taking my time. I figure there's no point settling for anything other than exactly what I want, because I know it's out there

hmm would anyone know how much a 1993 model honda integra si vtec (jap import) with 190xxx k's, stock as a rock besides a sound system and pretty clean paint job (as ive been washing it) will go for? bought it fairly cheap, havent driven it for long and never shifted above 3k rpms since i like to baby it because thinking of getting the most out of it to swap to another car =), planning to sell it off here eventually so how much you guys think it would go for =)
