Not being mean but it sounds to me that you need to move to a different car because it takes a passion of labor and the love of modding to see what a civic is able to be.

 

for the record, i pull over half a second faster than the integras equipped with a similar engine. without modding the motor yet.

 

I don't know man. You're giving up way too fast. There's lots of stuff you can do with a stock engine. I saw some dude at the track with a d-series engine that ran low 13s. Needless to say, his motor was built and he was boostin'. I asked him how much money it took him to get there and he said, close to $5000 - he did the work himself and he claimed that it was the first time he ever opened up the engine. So you're saying you want to get a faster car? Let me tell tou, it's never enough. I went from a 100hp corolla to 200hp BMW, and although it's a great improvement, it's never enough. With more sophisticated engines, there's actually less things that you could do. Full exhaust and CAI barely does anything for my car. The only few mods, short of FI are chip, rear end, and cams. On a civic, a cai and exhaust actually produces decent gains. Also, what are you planning to do with the car? If you're looking to build a high hp and poor handling drag monster, it seems that you would be better off buying some old domestic POS, perhaps a stang. They're dirt cheap to build, compared to import cars and will do great in a straight line. Civic feels like a go-kart, so I'm pretty sure that it's awesome on the autoX course - something else to think about

 

andryuha and sniper are right in my opinion.

you're givin up way to fast... and since when does a 90's integra have sexiness?! boxy-*** little bastard is what it is.... lol.

but maybe you should add boost. get more power and still get pretty good mpg....

 

I happen to like the early 90's teggy's , if someone approached me and asked if i wanted ot trade for a 92 or 93 teggy i would if the car was rightl.. but now i am babbling so i will stop now

 

civics are something ppl should get for project cars...like my new si...its going to be a project car..after i run it for while....im getting lambo doors first thing...i swear i will get a few hundred hp from it..NOT...but good luck with ur civic....personally i like the 95-99 teggies...i dont really like the new ones...they look like a mouse

 

Ha, are you kidding? The 90 Integra was way ahead of its time, and infinitely more appealing and sexy than any Civic ever built. That's a FACT. Especially the interior. See for yourself, this is a 95 interior but it's almost identical to my 90 'teg interior. The Integra pwns j00, and me.


Anyways, I had a blast with my Civic in the snow today and had a change of heart. It's a fun car, and I'm gonna continute modding it out.

They came out with a new generation of Tegs?

Glad to hear about your change of heart.

 

I'll agree with you that the interior is awesome on those tegs. The exterior is a diffrent story. It looks terrible. EG civics look much better.

 

the ones that have the body like the rsx...unless im just thinking the rsx...but i coulda sworn they said integra on them..

post 69...but i dont know if it will be after this edit
