My Torqueless wonder
Discussion
Had this about 6/7 months now, and tidied it up quite a bit since first owning it with a new clutch, brake pads and fluids all round its much fresher now.
Just shod her in some new boots last week and im really pleased with them.
Had lots of Hondas before (several CRX's, S2000 98 spec ITR etc) so im a fair Honda veteran.
Id even go as far to say that theres nothing else that quite fits the niche as this car does, its great!
Its practical, quick, good on fuel (~30mpg), reliable as hell and looks great.
For the money I couldnt imagine anything else?
Anyway, here you go. A few pics.
Excuse the quality!

Without starting an argument, and derailing the thread. I was in the same situation, having owned an S2000 and still own another Honda as the family car. I personally went for the RS Megane instead, which is the same sort of cash.. However, I do wonder how they would both do on the track against each other. I would imagine they would be quite close depending on the circuit. Not sure if the Teg would have more 'soul' in it to drive. However I like the low lazy pull of the turbo now. However I miss the 'snick, snick' of the gearbox.For the money I couldnt imagine anything else?
You must be strong!!
Looks very nice! Always had a soft spot for integras how is she to drive?
Was looking at them the other year but decided to go travelling instead, then looked at them again last year but went for an RX8.
I always seem to flirt between cars but always come back to the integras so may have to get one next!

Brilliant looking car, I just imported a dc2 which I picked up last week and can't help but grin every time I go round a corner!!!
Hope you continue to look after it, a few on eBay now looking worse for wear

The cheap ones are cheap for a reason..
Cheers for the comments guys, yeah it drives great to be honest.
Its quite difficult to grasp that its an 11 year old car!!
I use it as a daily too, and its just so reliable with such minimal maintenance consaidering the performance!
The chassis is great. Nothing FWD other than a DC2 or clio williams gives the same confidence to be honest.
The engine is a bit lazy until you have it above 5k really its just like any other 2.0L, but get it in the power band and its like an instantaneous 60 or so bhp kick in the arse. The crossover is brilliant.
Jekyll and Hyde eat your heart out!
