Also I'm torn if I want to rock the Honda H emblems or keep the Acura A emblems. My wheels have the H but the rest of the car is A. The wife says the Honda emblems = gay.

The only place that I know of that they are called Acura is here in the US. I've been to a lot of other countries and they are Hondas in all of those.

Ok good. So what do you think about the handling of your Integra? In MY opinion, my GS-R was the 2nd best-handling car I've ever owned, behind the S2000. But I know the GS-R had a few things that the RS/LS/SE/GS didn't have, and I've never driven any Integra besides a GS-R.

It handles pretty good. Keep in mind I've owned a MR2 tubo with full TRD sway bars, Tokico 5 ways, and I forgot what springs I put on it. LOL now that car was a go-kart.

But I can tell that the Integra after I do some stuff it will handle almost if not as good. It has that same feeling that you can just throw it in the curves and it will take it. I love everything about the car! Just can't wait to put the turbo on! I'm thinking 250whp on low boost and 300whp on high boost.

I can honestly understand why now. Its the ultimate DD. Just make sure you get a MR one

So do you think I should H badge it to match my Honda Pilot center caps or keep the A's?

Ignorant people (Wesman) laugh when I say that my Integra was a fantastic car that handled great. They just don't get it. I bought that car with 134k miles, sold it with 193k miles on it, and it still ran like a top. And I beat the **** out of that car every single day I had it. And as far as I can tell, it set a record for the quickest stock GS-R in the country @ 152k miles

Nice! I managed to get mine, one owner (was owned by a woman named "Sue" so thats what I named the car), never was smoked in, not a single mod done to the car, and only had 83k miles when I bought it.

Sometimes I kinda wish I had a GSR but at the same time I don't. I'm building this car to take on the high RWHP domestics on the highway. So the longer geared LS trans is what I wanted. So I got a LS. Couldn't be happier with the car! Except somehow my antena isn't there. lol

Haha! Yeah, the only thing I ever did to my Integra was remove the intake silencer (1-2hp), and do an axle-back exhaust (< 1hp, I'm sure). But I'll tell you what, that thing with some Falken Azenis Sport tires was some of the best times I've ever had driving a car.

My car with a really basic suspension and sway bar upgrade is sooo much fun to toss around. My buddy who races a time attack evo (professionalawesome.com) drove my car once at an AutoX and said it was the most fun car hes probably driven (it was turboed then so it was really balanced between accel/handling)


You'll want to change to a GSR trans lol. 2nd to 3rd is a bitch rpm drop mainly.

I'll be doing a GSR trans swap this winter with the LS final. Should be a nice compromise.

Hmm.. No other JD fans here?!?! WTH!

Jack and coke = gross.

Jack and root beer = WIN!

Try it. Its ******* awesome. I had a bar tender give me a weird *** look when I ordered it... Then I was like "try it and I bet you'll like it!" She said "I hate JD!".. And then I said its a million times better than jack and coke. You dont taste the JD as much and it goes down real easy. Sure enough, she had one with me, and liked it!

I'm gonna turn this into an Integra thread as well... here are a couple of my old GS-R. Keep in mind some of these were taken with a 2003 Sprint camera phone.



This was at the track when I went with some V6 Mustang guys and an LS1 T/A (JamRWS6)...


And this was when I delivered it to the new owner
