Zanter 3rd Gear March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 I think the Integra was sold for low 70's in 2006. Those same cars r being sold high 60's or even low 70's now. Since the 1st owner didnt take much depreciation, then as 2nd owner u may kena esp when the car reaches close to the 5th year. The brakes need to be beefed up for stock car. Why dont u consider a new Civic Type R JDM? This car will give NSX a run for it's money on the track stock The depreciation will be similiar to a 2nd hand GSR & u get warranty as well? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Clutched March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 I test drove a manual integra the other time when I was still searching for a new ride. Overall quite ok. But the interior of a integra can easily bored u off about a year, for mi few months depending on ur character. Power wise...I must say is not enough for a 2l coupe. Mods is a must. Boot area is good considering is a coupe. Back passengers seat is decent. I'm not sure if its mi but i think the gear is kinda too high. Hard to rest my left arm. Oh..if u must buy..get one with sunroof!! Its always nice to drive a vtec Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icetrap 2nd Gear March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 Not enough power? You drove the GSR, have you ever tried the type R DC5R? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Friendstar Supercharged March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 i've been driving my KM integra GSR for 2.5yrs & would have to say that it is 1 of the best coupes in recent history. It's sporty looking (esp if on aftermarket kits), fuel efficient (mine auto, 11.5km/litre,75% highway/25% urban), can comfortably seat 4 average adults & have a big boot to match. It still never fail to attract glances at traffic lights. Perhaps u can post at integra.sg forums. You'll definitely get more responses from like-minded integra owners & those who may be selling off their rides Good luck! glances at traffic light?

Friendstar Supercharged March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 if u ever buy an integra pls dont ever change the front grille to the HKS one with a small hole on the left hand side its shi.t Ugly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Clutched March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 (edited) Not yet. I'm sure ITR has better power and response... But the way u put it...ITR is worst than GSR Edited March 19, 2008 by Thug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icetrap 2nd Gear March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 pardon my english. You were saying that the normal GSR has not enough power. I was asking if you were referring to the GSR? For the Type-R, with 220hp, I sure it will be adequant for you. :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Clutched March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 Ar...yeah...I was toking about GSR. 160 for a 2l coupe is not very impressive to think that EG9 1.6l is already 160. Though I know the wide cam is the key. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carcraze 1st Gear March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 (edited) the EG9 1.6L block was tuned to produce more power. the 2.0l block in the GSR hasn't been tuned to it's maximum. If power-hungry, there's always the type R. Edited March 19, 2008 by Carcraze Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolad 5th Gear March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 Its the emission ruling... back at those EG/EK era... emission ruling is much lax... now with Euro III/ IV ... you cannot produce any of these B-series engines coz there are no mkts for you to sell to... not that Honda can't make... makes no sense to make anymore... Also EG/EK civics are also very weak in low-mid end torque... the K20A3(GSR/TypeS) and K20A(TypeR) are much much stronger in the torque region due to i-Vtec which has variable timing. In everyday driving... the K20series feels much more "punchy" compared to a B-series which you need to rev >6000rpm to feel the power Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_orange Neutral Newbie March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 Felt the same way too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_orange Neutral Newbie March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 Type S has bigger rotors than the GSR. As for bhp, read the other guys' posts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_orange Neutral Newbie March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 I agree with you about the turning radius. I test drove a teg gsr m before. Power is good. Cornering is impressive, except for the turning radius. Interior, I think celica is better, though plasticky somewhat. Then again, buy teg is not for interior. I think must look at the overall package. If I had to buy a car again, I would choose a dc5r. Outright brute muscle! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjoey 1st Gear March 19, 2008 Author Share March 19, 2008 Civic type R JDM was one first choice cos its nice and its new (not 2nd hand)...but bro....Bo Gao Lui....and Integra is chio and always been one of my choices... but i did hear from some bros that the Integra GSR is under powered for a 2 litre car...unless its a Type R....

Alex2405 Neutral Newbie March 19, 2008 Share March 19, 2008 integra is a really great ride. good looks/lots of aftermarket parts/good fuel economy, most impt is a coupe with big boot space. though i have move on but i'm still missing my teg :) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
