lol because it's better then driving a civic and getting laughed at everywhere you go. plus they look awesome 2nd best looking 90's Honda after the NSX, they still look good to this day usdm front or JDM. Plus if you have a clean one it's even rarer

Love the integras, they have the sporty look, fast, and if u fix it up right it can look better than cars tht are made now. Plus u can do a lot to it without spending too much money.

But I still love my eg hatch.

I agree that Integras are clean (especially with the JDM front) and have nice body lines as I was almost an Integra owner a handful of years back, but I hate it when the tweenies call them, "Teggies". Please quit it. I can't tell you how annoying that sounds.

same.

the clean simple body looks tidy and not over the top. but also has that little hint of aggressiveness.

the b series engine. cant go on about it enough. lots of mod's. simple to work on. so much info on them. reliable as anything and has the little pick up you need with out getting cought speeding way over the limit

im relocating and WILL buy me another DA, preflebly a 92-93 but a 89-91 will suffice.

go the all mighty integra!!

also my nickname for my old DA was thee old teg.

i never used in it the way lil punk's do, ow lets go race our teggys uptown my vtec pops hard gee

-Hydraulic steering (not electric)
-Cable throttle
-Mechanical shift linkage
-Double wishbone front suspension
-Multilink rear suspension (no torsion bars, etc.)
-<2700 lbs
-LSD
-Naturally aspirated 100 hp/L engine
-Low beltline and thin A-pillars (you can actually see out of it)
-Lightweight wheels
-Honda reliability and engineering
-Easy to work on

It's one of the last truly engaging, communicative, driver-focused cars made.

All of this. I dont have power steer though, it got trashed in my car. The da/dc are the last truly great handling FF platform cars made. I saw an article where they took out an itr that honda owns, with only a handful of miles on it, and did some performance tests with it against a 2010 civic si. its performanc figures still showed it could hold its own against newer cars. On the skid pad it pulled .92g and the article said it was the best ff car ever tested.

Well for ***** sake the civic isnt even sold in japan anymore. Japan shunned the civic a few years ago. That right there says plenty about it. The new civics are whales compared to their predecessors.

I love my car enough to tear apart the engine... Again if need be to re-repair what I thought I repaired 😥 ... Very few cars that I would be willing to do that for.

On another note, some car makers seem to be trending down in size/weight over the last couple of years... Took them long enough to catch on. In 5 years we'll probably see a Honda that is basically the same as our cars... Lol
