So, did you put the JDM front end the day you bought the R?

At least you didn't steal the car from the seller. Haha. Good luck with your car and make sure you keep her safe.

Glad you picked one up. Looking forward to checking it out in person.

 

Saw the car today.

Very very nice

 

Glad to see it go to another H-T owner. Take good care of that CW! Will you be doing any track events?

Ok I gotta ask this question since you went from a hybrid R hatch to this. Is there a difference if any with the R motor in your old hatch chasis vs. the heavier teg chasis?

well really on the "butt dyno" its hard to tell much a difference in acceleration....in cornering the integra seems more stable....but that may be because I didnt have a proper suspension set up in the hatch. ..as thurghrow at that was.

I much prefer the overall feel of the Integra R vs R powered hatch.

and i have a garage

Interesting. B/c I had a gsr hatch and am soon to be getting a gsr teg and I was hoping that there wouldnt be to much of a difference in chasis weight. I currently drive a gsr teg (ls/b16 tranny) and I know what you mean about stability.....to name a few abs, 4 wheel disk, good suspension, cabin sound, and overall rigidity compared to the econo box!
