taffeta white gsr to Misty blue metallic 240sx
Here are a couple of pictures of my integra over the life I had owned it. Now I'm driving a 240sx coupe. I totally miss the integra and want to get another one. The 240sx is faster (sr20) but the integra handled better.
Just received it back from the garage for jdm front end work, lip wasn't complete yet but it still looked great.
Then the car was totaled and I decided to get a misty blue metallic 240sx (what a bad decision, I should have just bought another integra, and saved for k20 swap).
lowered it a little more, about 1 finger gap now but rubs even with trimmed fender liners.
Matching r32 seats jdm SRII's hold you in place better
I hope to join the honda community again

I'll admit the car stops pretty well, better than the teg. the sr20det is from an s13 and is black top with s15 turbo. It pulls alright for no tune and 9lbs boost.
Thanks for the complements I love both cars but the teg handled better in the hills.

Re: taffeta white gsr to Misty blue metallic 240sx (2kgs-R)
the integra handles better?? are you joking me?
240sx's handle dope with 1.5way LSD's, even the VLSD is good for the hills.
what suspension are you running on the 240, and what were you running on the GSR?

Re: (what gsr)
I think the Integra looked a lot better with the USDM front-end. But that's just cuz I think the JDM front-end is played out now. But whatever floats your boat!
Nice 240, too. I'm not really a fan of the coupes (I'm more of a 240 hatch guy), but yours looks great.

you're just saying that because you're used to the two front wheels doing all of the work for you.
Invest in a decent suspension, an lsd and have it dialed in and you'll take that back once you realize the control differences of RWD against FWD

the 240 has tein flex coils, tein tension rods, and vlsd.
teg had zeal b6 coils, itr rear sway, itr rear control arms, skunk2 camber arm, and quaife atb.

lol I used to feel this way too, used to auto x the integ all the time. pound for pound the teg felt more agile/nimble. The 240 actually has understeer when you really push it in the hills.

Re: taffeta white gsr to Misty blue metallic 240sx (2kgs-R)
the teg had better suspension and a better locking differential dude.
if you had a mechanical 1.5 way on the 240, you would probably love it.
also the teg had adjustable camber along with toe.
your 240 probably could only adjust camber in the front, with the stock rear upper control arms having less adjustability than an aftermarket piece.
also, the teg is slightly lighter than the 240. yup.
maybe this is why you don't like the 240 as much.

Exactly.
The suspension on the teg was modded to a higher caliber which is why I feel the teg handled better. The thing about the 240 is I don't want to have to deal with the maintenance of a clutch type lsd, which leads me to possibly upgrading to a helical in the s13 (s15 oem diff). Don't get me wrong I like the 240 a lot, its just the teg handled better and sharper.
Do you have any experience with 1.5 clutch type lsd's?
Thanks for the comments everyone! I like the rims (enkei racing s rims) its just i wish they were 17's instead of 16's.
Here are some pics of the car with a 180sx kouki front bumper, the previous owner took this off and sold it I guess.
what do you guys think? I originally wanted to go with the regular jdm front with non folding lights but I'm really starting to like the 180sx kouki front bumper
(O I would )
