Dang that is old school. Honda Kuinto

 

Hahaha! I like the placement of the side mirrors! Anyone know where I can get some for my G3?

Hahaha! I wanna see that old skool integra Mugen'd out. No need for a wing since the hatch is up. That's enough downforce!

 

86 Integra RS was my first car

 

Here is a picture of a rare G1 Integra.



You could kind of say that this was the start of the Type-R Integra. My wife bought this car new in 1988. It's a Special Edition Integra LS, one of 5000 (2500 white and 2500 black were made) which means that is has a few options not available to other Integras. These include:

Leather covered steering wheel
Special 2-tone seat fabric
Power windows and mirrors
Stiffer rear suspension
Rear spoiler and side skirts
Monochrome paint, including wheels

 

looks like an old accord.

 

so if thats the first integra, wouldn't the DC2 (94-01) be a G4 instead of G3?

 

Yea, gotta love the 1g tegs. In fact theres a certain gen 1 that kicks a little *** in the honda challenge series.

 

yea i like the g1 tegs they remind me of my car 89 accord coupe:


what do you think?
EDIT: oh yea this is my first posted pic on h-t ever....

Hey man that accord looks awesome! I haven't seen many old skool accords looking that nice.

 

and why did the japanese think it made sense to put the mirrors on the fenders? Maybe good for parking, but I highly doubt that the technology to make a folding side mirror was unavailable in 1982.

 

wow...I never knew that style of Integra existed!
So yeah....like said before, wouldnt that make our 94+ G4's???
yeah...only in japan....but still!!!

hmm....thats a thinker!!!

EDIT: Hey Chronicsinners: I like ur accord...looks very good...at first i thought i was a prelude!

wow! cool pics!

 

My little contribution:

Here's a G1 Teg that is pretty clean. Keep in mind that this picture was taken in 1998 though.

 

I've driven a car with the mirrors on the fender. You can actually keep your eyes on the road more with the mirrors there, especially on the passenger side. I was in the Philippines a few years ago, and I saw some newer Toyotas (Crowns, Coronas, Galants) that still had the mirrors on the fenders.

 

semi new at choppin stuff, but it gets teh right i dea.

Check out the side skirts, the style is timeless

 

ttt

 

yup...In Japan, the DC2 Teg is a G4.

As for the placement of the side mirrors, all older japanese cars until the early to mid-80's have them placed there. Roads are really narrow here, so the placement on the fenders decreases blind spots. Taxi's and some police cars and other emergency vehicles in Japan still have the mirrors on the fenders for safety reasons. But style substituded function on the newer cars and the mirrors were pushed back to the doors when "european styling" was introduced here.

 

i wpould think they would be more succeptible to damage out there

 

Nice old school tegs, brings a tear to the eye to think about the heritage. I mean honestly the integras of today have come a LONG way.

 

Actually they're more susceptible to damage where they are now...I should post pics of the road in fornt of my house...Its barely wide enough to fit a small car and yet its a two way street..a lot of mirror scraping!

wow those side skirts on that g1 integra look like the oem sides on the g3 integras. i guess they stick with what looks good heh
