Yes ladies and gentlemen on acurazine.... after much debating what to get and what to do with the cash in my pocket burning a hole thru it... I found an integra in so close to flawless condition...

it needs some tlc here and there, but that is expected from a car over 10 years old

so... this isn't goodbye for the fitment guru, but it sure means I will be doing work on that car when I am not on azine helping you guys

API in Arizona came out with a J series swap kit.

Honda Tuning featured a 92 civic hatch with a J35. I hope this stimulates the performance market on the J series.

If I get a project car, I'm doing an old Porsche 911 with a Renegade Hybrid 350 conversion. I knew a guy that had one, and turbo'd the 350 V8. The thing was a straight beast, among beasts. He had crazy wide tires in the rear, so he could put down the power too.

Good luck with the teg.

as for the J in the teg... don't count it out you just might see it

I had an integra then got the TL. I liked the integra a lot. I'd pick one up for a car to fuck around with. I don't think I'd part with the TL

I did the same, what's wrong with that. The integra is a great car. And in terms of modification, has 10x the amount of available mods compared to the CL/TL.

But I did also add an Avant to my garage.

Congrats on the Integra. I still have visitation rights to my old one (sis-in-law bought it). I fondly remember that car, but whenever I think about owning one, I remember all the trouble I used to get into with the local gendarmes.

Is it a A4 Avant, or the A3? Looks sick in flat black.

Nice pickup. There's a lot to be said to realizing that a car payment sucks, and going through with it. Now between that savings and less on the car insurance, you'll have a good 1K extra in your pocket.

RS4 as far as I can tell, there is still speculation that it's vinyl not paint. I haven't found a documented article or information about that particular car yet.
