Oh, while I have just a basic post, I'm curious what you guys think: 17 or 18" wheels for a teg?

15", 16" at the most unless you want the car strictly for show. anything bigger than 16" imo is just too big for a teg if you want any kind of performance out of it.

15s in NJ in the winter cause the roads are killer. 16s are fun to drive in the summer when the roads are fixed up nice.

I was just down in Dallas and the roads were beautiful (except for the crazy rush hour traffic). I'd roll with the 16s down there. Toyo T1-S on 16" rims = for daily driving

disabling power doorlocks do nothing, thieves have devices that bend widows outward allowing them easy access to your inside door handles.

it is extremely hard to manually push the door lock from lock to unluck. I seriously doubt there is any tool that has a large enough diameter to manually push them from the outside. I have a hard time with my fingers on the INSIDE. Also Explain to me how you pull the glass back on a G3 integra ? Even if someone Destroys the Black stripping above the window.. you would not be able to slide anything with a big enough diameter to unlock the door latch on the inside without breaking the glass

That power door lock switch is how MOST thievez will gain entry into your integra.. it is SUPER easy to fish that coat hanger tool under the glass and push that little button. That is how must integras are stolen. I dont have to be a thief to know that. I know it can be done in under 30 seconds and makes no noise.

I am also a true testimony. I had someone case me out for a little while. Learned what kind of audio equipment I had, then one night I went to the club he hit my car with the tool. My alarm was going off so he could not clean me out, imediately grabbed some items and left. I disabled my door locks the following day. A few months later went to see the SAME DJ at the SAME CLUB. When I came out someone had tried to gain access but was unsuccessul... my lower stripping was pried out like some kind of temp wedge was used.

For the second person tonight i had to tell this too. PLEASE do not discourage people from Disabling there power door locks. It is THE most popular form of Entry on an integra and is a FREE security measure.

No! Holy **** YOUR DUMB Pulling the door handle will not unlock the G3 integra door Try it dumbass before you post bullshit

you have to manually push the door lock to the unlock position... then the handle works .. a coat hanger will not be able to move it manually. The door locks are very stiff and hard to push EVEN with your FINGERS from the INSIDE..


Smash my window for my Cdz ???? I seriously doubt you intentially crafted that sentence as a fade. But never the less .. Smashing your window is the Option you WANT to force them to. Sadly Smashing a window is going to get a lot more attention than a car alarm these days. And this alone will deter a good portion of thieves.. It proved to work in my case... they couldnt get in taping the electronic door lock ... so they walked away
