integra withdrawel

this may be blasphemous, but...

sold my 93 G2 teg and got what my wife refers to as a 'grown up' car 03 CL-S.

i am missing the ride of the teg alot. anyone out there familiar with the difference and know how to make the CL feel a little more like the integra?

it is all stock, and nothing needs to be repalced for a while. thought I have been having issues with the car pulling to the left. had it aligned today, better but not great. it may be that i am just not used to the low profile tires. the integra was totally stock.

contemplating trading my old benz for an old civic 5sp or teg for the go-cart experience but i promised to wait until next spring to make that decision


thanks in advance, this forum is excellent.

Welcome to the forum.

Why would you want the CL to feel more like the Integra? The CL is a lot heavier than the Teg. I think if it suspension changes you're after then look into sway bars, coilovers and a camber kit. But I don't think you'll get it to be like the Integra.

But yeah I miss my Integra a lot, not much the ride but the engine was awesome, and it handled better than my 2.3.

Good luck with the tranny!!!

since you want it to feel like the teg... ur gonna have to gut the crap outta ur car and beef up the suspension... it still wont be like the teg, but itll be a lot closer

thanks gang

maybe a sway bar then, but they really are two different animals. well, the 3.2 is an animal. the 140hp teg was closer to a plush toy.

when it came time to buy, it was a brand new rsx or the 2003 3.2, and it seemed like i was getting a lot more and nicer car for the $$. also alot more comfort for the shared commute.
