Why are you being a tard? I'll say it right now, my 1990 Acura Integra probably does handle better than a BMW. My car handles very well, I love it. I can take pretty sharp turns at 60 and still feel safe enough that I'm not going to lose it.
I'm running 13 year old stock suspension right now too. |

What's your point? First of all, "probably" is pretty weak, if you can't say it with authority then don't say it at all. Besides, even if it were true, what are you trying to prove by saying it?
Let's relate this to the computer world so more people can understand. Say hypothetically you have a 3 GHz Pentium 4 machine complete with nice LCD monitor, TV tuner, pimped out stereo hookup, DVD decoder, all the works.
I spend $200 on a piece of Celeron 500 from the year 2001, tear the parts out of the case and stick it in an air-conditioned mineral oil alloy unit so I can overclock it to 7.5 GHz. I then parade around saying "Look, my 2001 Celeron runs faster than your 2004 P4!"
Yeah - so? What does that prove? It might be clocked higher, but it's still an old piece of . |

LOL, if it were true, he's obviously trying to prove that you are the tard to look down and underestimate the 'potential' of many japanese cars.
and i'm very confident a $25,000 cdn car like an Integra Type R can outhandle a lot of cars priced much higher than that.
btw all that proved is that a celeron is an old piece of thats running faster than your bling bling P4 at a MUCH lower cost. :haha:
hey teknohead, got pics of your integra? what kind of mods do you have? |

I say probably because I haven't driven a BMW thus I can't validate my decision. I can almost guarentee you that a BMW would be heavier than my car, except for maybe the Z3.
I think you first need to have a good lesson on the hobby of modifying cars. There are basically 3-4 different types of setups that people go for: performance, show, stereo, and handling (which ties in closely to performance). Those people who tint out their windows, add big heavy chrome wheels & have huge stereos in their car do it for show.
Yes I realize there are a bunch of posers out there who slap a cheap fart pipe on their car and think they have a rocket...and sadly its these people who give us Japanese car modifers the name "ricers".
I am just getting started on my car, but I have not gone cheap with anything I've put on it. I just installed a $600 (retail) exhaust on my car last month & I also have a cold air intake. Not only do do these mods make my engine breath better, but I also get better gas milage. |

which exhaust did you get?
here's my list of mods so far
h&r sport springs
dc sports catback exhaust
front/rear strut tower bars
16" enkei rp02 rims
its not a whole lot since i blow money on other things as well. i'm guilty of a poor money saver. :p
i've spent far more money on stereo which i'm starting to get bored of. i'll probably sell most of my stereo and continue to mod the car to perform better.
thinking about getting a dc sports stainless steel 4-1 header and an aem v2 cold air intake.
here's some pics of my car and yes, i riced it a bit with those reverse indiglos. HAHA its a mod a harsh regret doing now but its all good. i will replace the entire cluster with a mugen or type r one in the future. :D

Thanks man, I wash the car at least 1 time a week and rub it out & wax it quarterly (those pics were taken a week ago & that's not even freshly waxed) :D I may get JDM 1 pieces but I think I'm going to get a DC Sports 4-2-1 header first. Then maybe a VIS carbon fiber hood (my hood has some hail damage and swirl marks). Other than that there are no swirl marks on the paint anywhere else.
Your pics still aren't showing :( |
