Killuminatic Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Ever since 95-96 Integras been played out, but even now people still get, and look for them. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 cause they are fast, and have just as much potential as a civic. they also don't look half bad in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksaint Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Integras are played out? I'm one of two people in my entire neighborhood with one. And it's also probably one of (maybe) five MAX, GS-R models in my entire city. They're stylish and they are Acuras. Sporty, fast, reliable, it's a good car. But played out? Not where I live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 Well, they are pretty popular here along with the Civics. Not surprising coming from Southern California. But still, you also got to consider that the 94 Integra styling lasted for 8 YEARS! That's two times the normal Honda cycle for a model. Given that it was a popular car, I'm not surprised there are many Integras out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PROFILES2000 Posted February 5, 2003 Share Posted February 5, 2003 id say that it comes from reliability and the vast aftermarket out there. i wouldnt exactly call them fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killuminatic Posted February 5, 2003 Author Share Posted February 5, 2003 I didnt think civic's were good either, a civic seems like a type of car you settle for. After your replies i kinda get why the integs are so popular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddySol Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Those are Nissan Silvias. One's a S13 and the other is a S14. In the States, they are known as 240SX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 around here most of the teggy's that are modded are cosmetic only. muffler, intake, body kit, wheels, tint (or not), and stickers. the civic's around here are mostly clean modded cars.

..SSR.. Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 They are popular because you can get lots of aftermarket parts for them and they are cheap, but they ARE NOT fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Those are Nissan Silvias. One's a S13 and the other is a S14. In the States, they are known as 240SX. the one on the left is an RPS13 Type X (180sx) and the right is a S14 Kouki (?sp). They are popular because you can get lots of aftermarket parts for them and they are cheap, but they ARE NOT fast. i totally agree, if there wasnt alot of aftermarket parts, most of them really really cheap, then integra's wouldnt be half as popular as they are. and i agree for the most part they are not fast.

darksaint Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Fast is in the eye of the beholder. If you are used to Vipers, Skylines and Supras, of course an Integra will not be fast. A 13 second car here will probably spank anything on the main strip. I guess it's different around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
optional187 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 They are popular because you can get lots of aftermarket parts for them and they are cheap, but they ARE NOT fast. oh man...yet another FALSE statement from ssr. they aren't fast if you compare them to vipers (as darksaint said) but they are fast if you compare them to car's in its class. the car runs a full 1.5 seconds faster than mine in the quarter, and we're in the same class. 1.5 seconds is a lot of time. they're fast, and they look good.

S14Silvia Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 k fast isnt a relative term. vipers are fast, mclarens are fast, supra's are fast, rx7's are fast. integras and civics are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..SSR.. Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 That is unless you consider 16's and 15's fast........... w00t hahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksaint Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 You don't even have a worthy car yet SSR. You are exempt from all chat that has to do with speed. Fast is relative to the car you are comparing to. Another fact. Jeez, I'm just so full of these lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S14Silvia Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Fast is relative to the car you are comparing to. Another fact. Jeez, I'm just so full of these lately. 15's in the quarter is NOT fast, yeah it may be fast to a metro which i dont think could make it to the end of a quarter mile, but still a metro isnt supposed to be fast. sure some integras may be quick, but i really dont see it as being fast, to get them to be fast you have to invest a LOT of money into it.

optional187 Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 like i said. fast goes by classes. a integra is fast in the sport compact class, but its not fast in the sports car or super car/exotic class by any means. your comparing vipers to integras...thats just stupid.

S14Silvia Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 your comparing vipers to integras...thats just stupid. stupid? i'm not the one saying integras are fast. someone plz explain to me how a 15 sec. quarter mile is fast... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darksaint Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 i'm not the one saying integras are fast. Nah, you are just saying they are slow. Stock to stock, an Integra has an edge over most sport compact cars if not all compact cars. I would race an F16 Fighter Jet, but damn, I'm so far away from the closest military base to test it. This is the same discussion as "Is an RL a luxury car or not". Survey says... "Yes". This discussion is stale already. bleh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
