Well she's gone.

Since the first car I bought I've owned nothing but Honda's.

89 CRX HF
96 Integra LS
89 CRX HF (same one, bought back after I wreckedmyteg)
90 Civic 4 Door
91 Civic Si (ZC motor swap, fully built)
94 Integra LS (B20 motor swap, GSR tranny, AEM brakes, blah blah blah)
95 Integra GSR (winter beater, sold earlier this summer)

I sold my last (the one consumed the most time, money, blood, sweat, and beers) Integra today. Parted ways with it for $4500 cash.

Pissed so much money into it, and it was fun, but a poor investment.

She's gone. Probably the last teg I'll ever own. Maybe a DC5 some day.

Until then, it's hard to beat the 337. More limited then an ITR.







Nothing like rockin 197 HP to the wheels and +200 lbs torque. I thought my B20 Integra was quick, this thing is a rocket.

It's been fun. See ya around H-T. Now I just need to start a new FS thread to get rid of all my left over Honda sh-t.

 

nice integra man, also nice vw, damn i thought the car would be more then 4500, looks nice though

 

You'll be back, after you had enough of all the electical problem the shity VW have...HAHAHAHA! I just got rid of one not to long ago...POS GLI...VW

QFT! lol

 

Congrats on the new car!

I hope that you're one of the lucky ones that doesn't get stuck with too many problems. I hope that thing is out and around more then it's in the shop.

 

great find..
thats a good replacement..

 

nice upgrade, good luck with it.

 

19 psi and only 197whp 200+torque????

psi doesnt make hp. and that stock turbo is probably ****. and EXTREMLY small lol.

OT: but do you know what trim that turbo is?

VW's are kinda like a honda motor just backwards lol. i &lt;3 VW's!

I'm not sure on the trim, but it is a small snail. Spikes 20 psi, holds about 16-17, drops to around 8 @ redline. It runs out of breath real fast, but also spools like theres no tomorrow.

BT will get you in the 300+ @ the wheel range. Gotta like that.

So far it's been good to me. I did have to replace the alternator, but that went twice in my teg.

 

damn those VW commercials got to you.....


its no where as pretty as an integra is though...

oh well... your car. have fun!!!

What commercials?

As sleek as my Integra, maybe not...but it does come stock with recaro's, votex body kit, 18" BBS wheels, ebiach and bilstein suspension, aluminum trim, yada yada yada.

Google search for VW 337. Only 1250 in the US

Also, the fact that I was able to gain 30 whp and 50 lbs of torque with a simple software flash (through the OBD port) is pretty damn cool.

 

1250 in the us isnt there 700 type Rs in the usa? or is it 7000? hmm

ya and what you gained shows how restricted the engine was.. that is pretty cool though. i know with the type s dc5 you can get some pretty good results too.

 

That torque drops off quick! Must feel like it's dying after 4000 rpm. My buddy's chipped GTI hits full boost by like 2000rpm. It feels quick cuz it spools so fast, but it's really not that fast.

Did you have a boosted honda before?

 

Vw's are cool, i would never buy one though. I need something reliable and i have a freind with a gti thats only about 2 years old and its a peice of ****.

 

HONDA&gt;VW

 

Make sure you link your new buddies to HT, so we can have a HT&gt;VW flame battle

There was 500 ITR's made in 98 alone. I'm sure there's more than 1250 ITR's out there.

Restricted - no. Under tuned - yes.

Boosted Honda - nope.

And the torque does drop off quick, but it's still making 140 lbs at the wheels at redline. After 3 Integras, all 3rd gens, I can un-biasedly say it's a faster car.

To the well-wishers, thanks.

To the haters, I've bought nothing but Honda's the last 10 years, and I did not desire a 4th Integra. It get's boring after a while.

Not to mention every homo with a corolla or civic revs their engine at every stop sign. Sick of the Honda scene in general. There's a reason you didn't see a body kit, altezza's, or big wing on my car.

 

Sorry but VW's are POS.

you'll see......

 

VW looks good. One thing I notice about VW's is there is always a taillight out.

Funny you should mention that, I bought it with one burnt out LOL.

One thing I notice about Integra's is there is always a tail light leak.
