well that was short lived..

before I could even purchase my 2G TL from my parents, they changed their mind. ended up with a '92 Integra for $700 so I cant really complain. however, all of my TL ideas are out the window, so if you have any ideas for the 'teg let me know and I'll strongly consider them! thanks guys

Well Since it is a Teggy it wouldnt be Better to find a Teggy´s Forum? I dont even Consider the Integra a "Real" Acura Since most of the Guys with them Debadged it like the Speed of Sound to Honda, Heck! I Dont even remember seeing an Integra with the Stock "A" Acura Logo for a While.

But not to be Just a Jack-Ass! do the I/H/E to begin with!
And get some TE-37s on that ride! Looks Awesome on the Teggy!
Fambloyant Type-R conversion and you´re set!

i'll definitely look into that! thanks

you are better off with a thousand dollar car, than a 4 thousand dollar repair bill soon!!

dont sell used cars to family, neighbors, or anyone you want to retain as a friend
thats the safest bet in my experience

if it were up to me, I wouldve waited and gotten something a lot better, but I needed a car, and she needed the cash for a course. made sure nothing too bad was wrong with it, just needs a new timing belt/water pump from what we can tell. planning on getting rid of it by summers end anyways.

I know how you feel man. An integra was my first love! Theirs a great forum I used to be on called team-integra.net and they have very knowledgable members on their forum just like ours. I learned a lot there about my teg in the few years I had it. I was on that forum before I joined this one. Loved that car till the day I traded it.

I started with this




Before I traded her. Got a JDM Sir-G front end with blackhousing Type R headlights and Type R spoiler on Gold 16" Rota slipstream







My poor front end before I traded it.....



Sorry for posting so many pictures, just trying to show you an option of what way to go with it.

BEFORE you go and find a teggy forum, have you considered a 6-speed J-swap... cause if so i think this would be one of the good forums for it, since basically most people on this forums have J's (basically minus the TSX, RDX, and the RSX [they are mainly club rsx for those though)

hey no worries. always down to look at a beautiful car haha. love that front end conversion. I'm probably going to slowly move up to a newer TL so I imagine I'll end up with a 3G teggy eventually (so the ideas will come in handy haha)

You don't consider the Integra a real Acura? At least the Integra when it came out was a fun to drive high revving nimble coupe unlike the bloated robotic sedans they make now.

Dont worry, it was my last option. Needed a car for school and it was all that I could afford at the time. Going to work all summer and slowly work my way up to a 3G TL
