Anyone else here drive an Acura Integra?

I'm sporting a sleeper 1999 Acura Integra GS-R coupe...

Posted by: gsmboi

no, but my brother had one. it was a 96

Posted by: nx2k

i don't mean to be picky and all but am i the only person who realizes the integra NEVER came in coupe form.
they only came in hatchback and sedan
it's not a coupe unless it has 2 doors and an ACTUAL trunk not a rear hatch. the prelude is a coupe, not the integra

What's up with the rear window wiper for the Integra?

I don't think Canada would have been too different than the US at any rate. I did a quick search on AutoTrader.com and found some coupes. I think I know what you mean, the glass probably opened on the back and that usually classifies a car as a hatch if it only has 2 doors but on the integra the back doesnt look like the back of a wagon so I don't think it counts. From a marketing stand point the Acura would sell a lot better if it was called a coupe and not a hatchback. Acura is supposed to be the higher-end luxury division of honda so they may think hatchback would sound a little too homely for an Acura. I could be wrong as my knowledge on hondas is a bit shallow.

nuff said what???
i dunno about you but i see an AUTOMATIC turbo'd N20 integra with a butchered body kit and gay lights all around

and either way, regardless of marketing or however anyone chooses the call the car, the integra is still a hatchback officially or a sedan

Posted by: CTzFinest

I sense the hate, but love the attention.

Where do you see that's it turbo'd and yeah it's automatic, caught your attention, right? what do you drive? How's the kit butchered?

i don't like the lines of that body kit, i think it's pretty ugly but maybe that's just my opinion. judging by that intercooler sticking out, i assume that it is turbo.
those do look like BBS RC rims so i'll give him that atleast but the look isn't what i like.
i drive what my username is

Let me start off by saying “YOU ROCK DUDE”

Okay man who died and made you god of cars???? What is wrong with the Integra? Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean someone else can’t like it…

When this thread started out he was asking about people who have a GS-R hmm Since I am guessing you don’t why don’t you but a clamp on your mouth and leave and try not to let the door smoke you in the you’re a**

p.s. LOL I was bored at work I hope I don’t hurt anyone feelings if so I will delete this post.

What you've said could not possibly have offended anyone. In fact, I was trying to catch your sarcasm.. but failed.

Anyway, nx2k didn't go off topic with his coupe/hatchback comment. It's actually an interesting observation..

officially? Do you have some hard proof that you can show us or did you just make that up right now? Please share, The car may be a hatchback, it might not be. Most hatches are like a 3rd door, this is more like a trunk with the window attached. There are exceptions to rules, please be a little open minded about that.

actually, i do agree with nx2k even though it doesn't bother me as much as it does to him.

integras are either sedan or 3dr hatch. but the gsr doesnt' look like a typical hatchback (civic hatch) so its easier to call it a coupe.

same with the rsx too.

i just call it the 2dr or 4dr integra. straight, simple, gets to the point.

btw, I own a 94 4dr.

Interesting placement of that giant tach.

Did you take out that useless rear view mirror in order to put that beauty in?

Also gotta love that glued Acura emblem on your airbag cover.

Quote:

what u mean it may be or it might not be??? you dont' even need 20/20 vision to know it is a hatch, all you have to do is look
dude man, this is not a subjective view, all you have to do is go to the rear of an integra and open your eyes and u will knwo that it is a hatch and not a trunk.

thank you edwinx

it's not that it bothers me so much, it's just a matter of knowing and not knowing, and when there's people who argue whether it is or it's not when all they have to do is look is just ignorance on other people's behalf....but i'll just let this die, you guys can call it whatever you want.

Posted by: Skylinepilot

Look buddy, I think you are getting off on the wrong foot here and are completely misinterpreting what I am saying and asking. It is quite obvious the car has a questionable rear end. Yes it can be seen and no, I am not ingorant enought to have never bothered to look, it is rather the pot calling the kettle black by not understanding my statement and being the ignorant for writing such a post. For some reason people assume that most others on the board are dense and they are the only one that has a clue, please do not become one of these people.

Lemme get it straight

Quote:

the integra is still a hatchback officially

This is what you said and this is what I am questioning. I am not debating whether the fact that the car makers should of classified this car as a sedan rather I want to know where you got your OFFICIAL information from. If you said its official I want to know how it is official. If you have an official Acura link, please post an official Acura link. If you spoke to an Acura official, please say you spoke to an Acura official and if you just said it as a spur of the moment thing please say it was just something you blurted out. This is an information forum, if you state something I might want to know for myself so when someone asks me this question I can gladly answer their question with confidence. Thank You.

Thank You Edwinx for clearing things up for me for the second time today

So Skylinepilot, do you now 'officially' admit that you are wrong and that nx2k is right? But your only problem is with the word "officially".

How about if I state that "the Acura Integra is IN FACT, a hatchback and not a coupe", would you have a problem with that?

Posted by: Skylinepilot

*disclaimer*-If you are going to read my post, read every word, do not take it in a harsh tone because it is long and re-read it if you do not understand.

I don't mind be wrong about that at all seeing that I am no expert on the issue. If you believe that in fact it is a hatchback that is excellent and more against my word. Now if you want to step to the challenge and provide some proof just as I have asked nx2k to, go right ahead. As far as I know the only people commenting on this subject do not show ownership nor any reason to be experts of Acura or its cars and yet someone is stating official word upon Acura but will not answer my simple question. The reason I came off so sharp in my original question from an earlier post is because the one that posted the "official" information is swearing authenticity of his word about Acura like he has had a hand in developing Acura but does nothing to show this. To this point I have heard nothing but "coupe" from acura owners so this person that has jumped into the mix of the bunch thinks otherwise. I would like to hear why his word is official, not "I think you are ignorant because you probably have never seen an acura before or bothered to look at a picture."

Quote:

How about if I state that "the Acura Integra is IN FACT, a hatchback and not a coupe", would you have a problem with that?

Why would I have a "problem" with that statement, its not even the question at hand anymore? Are you asking because you are attempting to start a flame war? I guess I would have a problem with accepting that statement if you said it is an Acura FACT, because you said so and I can only accept that without any further information. BUT I will DEFINITELY have a problem when I ask for a reliable source and the remark made is that I am IGNORANT. No reliable sources point to that being factual, I am not hearing, "I own this particular model and it says it on the title," Nor do I hear "I used to sell the vehicles, we sold them as hatchback." That is what I am NOT hearing so I might have a problem with taking your word to heart that Acura officially said that in your post. MORAL: Where I come from it is rude for someone to call a person stupid because they misunderstood their request, if your values are different then I apologize and retract my request.

So, that I don't have another post that follows about how I am wrong because you are positive it is or isn't a hatchback: [SpeaksSlowly]I am NOT interested in the idea that it might be hatchback, I am interested in the evidence (links, personal experience, etc.) that proves that in fact the Integra is what it really is.[/SpeaksSlowly]

Ill quote myself from above so there is no confusion as to what I am looking for (pay close attention):

Quote:

That is it! Now compare it to paragraph above and you'll see the striking similarity in the point being made. Please understand this before you post. Do not skim read my posts if you are going to call me ignorant or copy what the last misunderstood person wrote. If you still do not understand my posts pm me and I will explain them some more. I don't want a flame war but I do not want people blindly calling me ignorant. Thanks

-Now other than making me write this long post, I saw no real contribution based on what Mawti wrote. He basically reiterated what nx2k was thinking, the whole "cant you see it is a hatch" question that basically ended with edwinx. With respect to the thread starter I would like to see this thread go back to good use and see who drives an integra on here. The only thing I would expect to see on this subject is nx2k post some "official" evidence as requested

Posted by: mawti

Skylinepilot, I do not believe any of us are here trying to start a flame war. I think we are all capable of having a mature and civilized discussion. These forums are here for the exchange of ideas, so that¡¦s what we are doing.

But there was really no need for the long post because I assure you, I, and I assume nx2k and the others, fully understand what you were trying to say. Now if you truly understood what we were trying to say, you would have realized that my comments were not simply to reiterate what nx2k said. And I did not simply choose to ignore your "request". I did it for a very good reason--in that, your request simply cannot be fulfilled.

[SPEAKS SLOWLY] The fact that a car is a hatchback is just that--a fact. There is no "official" proof nor documentation needed for justification, nor is there any to be found. [/SPEAKS SLOWLY]

And when I say the word "fact", I mean simple facts of life, which are universally true. Not "fact" that has been scientifically proven.

If you still don't get what has happened here, let me illustrate it in terms everyone can understand:

nx2k states that 'the colour of the sky is official blue, and not green'.

Skylinepilot asks, 'why is it officially blue? How do you know it's blue? Give me proof (links, personal experience etc.) that it's officially blue. Where did you get information that it's officially blue?'

mawti clarifies nx2k's words, saying "it's just a fact that the colour of the sky is blue, and not green".

Now how can that be "fact"? Did anyone ever prove that this "blue" colour we speak of, is the same as the colour of the sky? And who decided that the word "blue", refers to the same colour of that which is in the sky? Where's the proof?
Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to these questions. Nor do I why whoever invented the word "hatchback", decided that it refers to what it does. But I understand the meaning of the word "blue", and I understand the meaning of the word "hatchback". So I can tell you, even though I have no proof of it, that the colour of the sky is indeed blue.

Now if you wish to continue to dispute this fact, by all means.

Posted by: edwinx

I guess we can all resume regular programming?

TheGSRGuy: what mods do you have done to your car?

Posted by: nx2k

skylinepilot, you have to realize something called facts- facts means it's the truth, there's no dispute about it. it's like saying tuesday comes after monday or as mawti stated the sky is blue. those are facts and u can't dispute that.
now the only way to argue this is whether or not you know what blue is or what tuesday is. so let me ask you this...do you know what a hatchback is?
a hatchback is a car that has a rear hatch that opens up entirely and not like a trunk, meaning it is possible for you to get into the car through the hatch.
and the integra is indeed a car that is like that therefore it is a hatchback unless it is a sedan.
im not trying to disrepect you in any way, but there is no arguement about it, the fact that you are arguing about it is like arguing whether or not the sky is blue.
if it has a regular trunk and 2 doors like a prelude or S14 240SX then it's a coupe, if it has a rear hatch that opens up that you can into the car from like an integra or a 180SX, or RSX or new celicas then they are hatchbacks.

Posted by: Skylinepilot

edwinx, I know you were hoping this got back on track but Mawti and nx2k has posted yet again (instead of pm'ing me as asked) and obviously wants to keep this going by saying "Now if you wish to continue to dispute this fact, by all means" so here I go, I'll try to make it as quick as possible. Edit: nevermind, it dragged on again

Quote:

And when I say the word "fact", I mean simple facts of life, which are universally true. Not "fact" that has been scientifically proven

That is fine if you are saying that and please specify in the future. I am not looking for Universally true, I am looking for it to be proven, a reliable source and this is what I have been asking of him. If he doesn't have it then let him speak and say he doesn't. If he doesn't have it, no big deal, I can live with that answer. I asked for official information because he acted as if he had it. Unless he means the "other" official where it is universally official because it is a simple officiality of life

I will explain more about the word official in my next post to nx2k. I have understood for quite some time what you guys mean about why the Acura is a hatch and everyone that you know also knows it, way before you have posted. The mission of my request is not what you have been thinking it is, I can guarantee you there was no need for you to post unless you had done so before edwinx originally posted or maybe if you posted a picture of your friend's Integra owner's manual where it says the car classification or just said that you saw it yourself. I am simply putting nx2k up to a challenge that I already know he can not fulfill. However if he can, great, he has done what I ask and the next time he says it is official that <insert car company here> is going out of business or whatever the subject, I can believe his word is official without a doubt or hesitation.

Quote:

nx2k states that 'the colour of the sky is official blue, and not green'.
Skylinepilot asks, 'why is it officially blue? How do you know it's blue? Give me proof (links, personal experience etc.) that it's officially blue. Where did you get information that it's officially blue?'
mawti clarifies nx2k's words, saying "it's just a fact that the colour of the sky is blue, and not green"

That is a good representation but you left some stuff out. First (keep in mind this is the part we no longer care about), what if I have heard nothing but "The sky is green" from Integra owners or Airline pilots or whoever because the sky does lean a bit to the green side? That is the only thing I have heard so when I go back to tell the whomever that the sky is indeed blue I want something from The Board of Sky Color Classification or Acura.com or whomever, especially if someone says that it has been officially classified. If I gave everyone a link or URL to hofo and said that nx2k said it is official and Mawti said from where he sees it is universally blue so it must be true. They would most likely just laugh at me, say that they have learned nothing from this thread and say that it is just how you look at it and there is nothing official about the sky being blue because some guy in Hofo said it is official unless nx2k decides to post a link to his official information. Now you also left out the part where Edwinx jumped in before you and clarified this, and I agreed to accept his comment in wake of the questioning. From then on we are cleared of this subject and no one needs to repost on the matter. Furthermore, do not bring this up.
Secondly, and most importantly nx2k said the big mean word "official". You, mawti, do not expect nx2k to provide "official" information so you overlook the whole point that he shouldn't of said "official" because that issue is so small, simple and minor and you try to focus on another possible point that I, Skylinepilot, may try to be talking about. Unfortunately you continue on about the wrong matter that is too obvious to be what I had really meant. You did have one point that you brought up that turned out to be absolutely and officially

correct and on topic, THAT MY PROBLEM IS THE WORD "OFFICIAL."

Quote:

Now how can that be "fact"? Did anyone ever prove that this "blue" colour we speak of, is the same as the colour of the sky? And who decided that the word "blue", refers to the same colour of that which is in the sky? Where's the proof? Unfortunately, I don't have the answer to these questions...

That is perfectly fine and I am glad you realize that just as I do. I don't think nx2k has the proof either, unless he can pull up a 3-5 yr old webpage from Acura.com that states it is a hatchback. This was my whole point and I am glad that at the end of this you have come to realize what I mean, I was putting him to the test since he acted as if he was an expert I was going to give him the chance to prove he is an expert and was expecting him to be nothing more than empty handed. I would have at least liked to see him say something like, "My friend used to sell them and they were labeled hatchback." That would have been great, but instead I am called ignorant.

Now please, after the next post I do not want to waste the board members' eyes on our pointless onslaught about word usage, Please PM me or reach me through AIM if you want to discuss the matter further. Thanks.

nx2k, I think mawti has done a good job, and better job than you have on this discussion.

Quote:

skylinepilot, you have to realize something called facts- facts means it's the truth, there's no dispute about it. it's like saying tuesday comes after monday or as mawti stated the sky is blue. those are facts and u can't dispute that.

Thank you for that tidbit although I learn nothing more from that statement. You are completely off base of my intentions and I think it is you that needs to understand the meaning or words better. First of all (this is what i was talking about in the last post mawti), you need to understand the meaning of the word official. Lets check out dictionary.com and lookup the word OFFICIAL.
adj.
1.Of or relating to an office or a post of authority: official duties.
2.Authorized by a proper authority; authoritative: official permission.
3.Holding office or serving in a public capacity: an official representative.
4.Characteristic of or befitting a person of authority; formal: an official banquet.
5.Authorized by or contained in the U.S. Pharmacopoeia or National Formulary. Used of drugs.
n.
1.One who holds an office or position, especially one who acts in a subordinate capacity for an institution such as a corporation or governmental agency.
2.Sports. A referee or umpire

This may give you a better representation of what is commonly "known as" or a "universal fact" of what "official" means. I highlited in bold the important ones and left adjective 5 and noun 2 as they were because they are not necessary in the discussion. The point is you are not an official nor do you lead your words to someone or something that is. You simply state something is official by your words and nothing else. I challenged your words as they might not be the exact words of Acura, Motortend or whoever. Official is a powerful word, no matter how you look at it. Have you ever watched a Nascar race (preferably live) or any racing for that matter on TV? When you watch the whole race and see everything that happens inluding the part where the guys that crossed the finish line and have celebrated or weaped over their positioning, you can pretty much take to heart that is going to stay that way. But guess what the race is over and the network broadcasting the show says "UNOFFICIAL RESULTS."

It still says unofficial? Yes, just because someone watched the whole program doesn't mean they can say those are officially the official results. The official results are determined by NASCAR (the sanctioning body) and no one else. Not even if nx2k saw the whole thing and was able to determine that on his own. And if anyone questions your officialness or authenticity you instead say, "didn't you see the race? Why don't you look for yourself? You have to be pretty ignorant to not understand."

Do you see what I mean?

Quote:

This is what I mean, Because you took these simple steps in a post on Howardforums.com and your username is nx2k this makes it somehow official? I didn't think so, [Bill Lumbergh]so if you could just post a link to someone else that is official that would be great.[/Bill Lumbergh] Either that or fess up that you own Acura, work for Acura or deal with Acura enough on these terms to say it is official. Yes I understand what a hatchback is.

Quote:

This is going back to my original post which we have determine already was wrong, but I through an idea out there. What if Acura said the sky was Grey because they think people would like that better than hearing the sky is blue? Maybe Acura thought that there would be more money in their pocket that way. You do know money makes the world go round? Its called Marketing and marketing can be used to make money by fooling an untrained eye in the consumer world. Now this idea I brought was rejected, deemed wrong and we are no longer dwelling on it. PLEASE DROP THE SUBJECT.

Quote:

im not trying to disrepect you in any way

Quote:

when there's people who argue whether it is or it's not when all they have to do is look is just ignorance on other people's behalf

Where I come from, when you say someone's actions are ignorance that is disrespectful. Did you think because you were "talking" to Edwinx that I did not hear that line? Now if your saying that you are willing to take that back I am always willing to accept that.

Quote:

there is no arguement about it, the fact that you are arguing about it is like arguing whether or not the sky is blue.if it has a regular trunk and 2 doors like a prelude or S14 240SX then it's a coupe, if it has a rear hatch that opens up that you can into the car from like an integra or a 180SX, or RSX or new celicas then they are hatchbacks

You are right, there is nothing to argue. As a matter of fact I am not arguing, I am requesting:

Quote:

officially? Do you have some hard proof that you can show us or did you just make that up right now? Please share

Yes, please share, I am asking you. This does not sound like arguing. This is not a statement, not a comment, not an argument or phrase, it is simply a question that is requesting something. I am NOT asking you to repeat what a hatchback is

I do not know why you bothered even writing out the last sentence, if you wanted me to understand what has already been established multiple times you could have just asked me to re-read those posts.
So before you type another post that asks me why I still think the car is a coupe please realize this, I don't care if it is a coupe/hatch/whatever anymore. That ended with Edwinx. There is no arguement and has not been one for a while. There has been a request that is parched and still awaiting your answer or proof. And I still believe that you have no official word on Acura and that you will post nothing because you will not be able to pull up a link that shows Acura's line up from four years ago or anything to convince me.
In the future, when trying to enter facts into a dicussion try to back up what you are saying when something is official. Here are some of my old posts where I discuss and provide:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...010#post1936010
I was vague on my last part and someone questioned it so I provided more evidence:
http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...028#post1942028
(edit: I want to show you how well people explain something when they are trying to prove a point: http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/sho...threadid=117475 notice the guys talks about HKS, he explains how the name became what it is.)
I know everyone's posts do not look like that every time and neither do mine, but when you are trying to explain a point being made you should back it up with some information. And you can also see I do not shut out another idea, like Espo was saying, his posts go along with mine read til the very end (he wasn't paying full attention to what I was saying in the last post and posted before thinking, sounds familiar). Lastly, the reason why I have drug this on so much isn't because I am trying to prove I am right about something nor trying to prove anything at all except maybe the meaning of the word "official." I want you guys to realize I am not the ignorant person you think I am, and to look and realize what I really mean. I am sorry it has taken so much time, long posts, and derailing some other guy's thread.

I do not want to waste the board members' eyes on our pointless onslaught about word usage, Please PM me or reach me through AIM if you want to discuss the matter further. Thanks.

Well I've skipped over most of this thread..... BUT... I drove a 96 Integra 4dr for several months while I was in high school and it was a very fun car!

Oh, and the 2dr is technically a hatchback, it's just that it has the lines of a coupe which is why most people call it a coupe.. but the back of it has a hatch..

Skylinepilot, may I attempt to sumarize your last few posts?
(naturally, as a reply to my original post)

Quote:

Yes.

Quote:

No.

See with those 2 simple words, you could of said the exact same thing that you did with 3,216 (according to word count

). We all knew your answer to the first question was ¡§yes¡¨, but by simply answering "no" to my second question, you have ended the discussion right there and gone back on topic, per request by edwinx. I tried to give you a quick way out of this but you still chose to continue on a path to a place we all knew from the beginning, exactly where it would eventually end up. Anyways, we can¡¦t change the past so the only thing left to do is move forward.
---------------------------

What about RSX? It¡¦s still an Integra. Any owners here? (I know the two ¡§Shawns¡¨ (Shaun_Fresh & Shawn_230 own them, although they haven't posted here in a while.)

Posted by: mbrowning

The RSX is no Integra

Mawti: Where we done with the subject after Edwinx?
YES Now do not put words in my mouth:

NO, I was done with this when Edwinx posted and cleared things up. When you posted that I felt like I was being interviewed, you were asking me if I felt like I was wrong even though I had already agreed to it with Edwinx. Just look at your last post and you are in fact trying to see how I feel about the matter and opinions, you were not adding anything to the thread. Since I had already agreed that I was wrong before you asked, I kind of felt like you were trying to start things up again... like you really wanted to start a flame war. And as you can see in this last post you have made you are still trying to bring things up as if you are trying to start a flame war. DROP THE GOD DAMN SUBJECT! You weren't even involved in the conversation before the matter. The only thing you contributed to this thread was to get on my case and piss me off. Like I said before, your posts do not add or contribute to subject. And guess what, I still said that I do not mind be wrong and then continued about what my real purpose was

You asked a question that had already been answered so I figured that you didn't understand (which you really didn't) so I thought I would elaborate. When someone doesn't understand what I am trying to say I feel that is partly my fault so I explain things further so people do understand. Thats just the way I am. If you do not like explanations then do not read them. I am sorry I tried helping you out.

How about if I state that "the Acura Integra is IN FACT, a hatchback and not a coupe", would you have a problem with that?

No.
You are right, and I did say that I did not have a problem with that. You reiterated a completed subject, That is why I asked if you were trying to start a flame war. I was completely fine with being wrong, I told Edwinx that I understood and I also thanked him for clearing things up. Again, giving you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't understand the point that I was trying to get across, in great detail I took the time to explain things to you.

See with those 2 simple words, you could of said the exact same thing that you did with 3,216 (according to word count ). We all knew your answer to the first question was ¡§yes¡¨,

If you knew the answer to the question already, why did you ask!? TO PISS ME OFF!?

Quote:

but by simply answering "no" to my second question, you have ended the discussion right there and gone back on topic, per request by edwinx

I did say "no", I just didn't say it in such few words. Read above how I gave you the benefit of the doubt and explained. You entered the conversation where you were non-existent before. I figured you still didn't understand so I felt it was my duty to explain. Ok, so maybe if I had made my answer so simple maybe that would of ended it. But ya know what? This matter had already ended and everything was going back to normal. Then you ask such a stupid question. Why did you ask that? It sounds like you are trying to piss me off, trying to taunt me into a flame war. Get a life and stop trying to start arguments on the internet.

Quote:

I tried to give you a quick way out of this but you still chose to continue on a path to a place we all knew from the beginning, exactly where it would eventually end up

What the hell is that supposed to mean? A quick way out of what? I answered your question and explained because I originally thought you were still confused on the matter and not trying to start a flame war, it turns out to be just the opposite.

Quote:

Anyways, we can¡¦t change the past so the only thing left to do is move forward.

You are right, we can't change the past, well maybe you still might be able to delete your first post in this thread. Do you really want to move forward? Quit bringing up old subjects! Quit trying to start a flame war! Quit being a ******* child! Please just stop posting on hofo! You are such a hypocrite with this last post, you say you want to move forward but you go back and bring up your first post again, rub it in my face trying to get me to argue with you. NOW DOES THAT SOUND LIKE MOVING FORWARD!? Guess what below all this you finally write to productive lines about the actual subject. Congratulations, welcome to HowardForums.com:

They do not call the Integra an Integra in the United States (or is it North America as a whole?). Now there will always be a difference between a USDM and JDM version of a model so I guess you could say our RSX is different than Japan's Integra, but not a night and day difference.

What I meant was that the US RSX is not what the US Integra used to be. It just doesn't have the same fun, sporty feel to me like the Teg did.

Plus I personally think that the Integra looked better than the RSX does.

yeah, they added more "plush" and "refinement" but in a way it is good.

just that behind all of that, there is still hidden fun and raw performance, just gotta dig a bit for it. i do miss the vtec rush of the old typeR and gsr though...

but the owner of Spoon said, the old DC2 typeR with the B18C was the better raw performance and functional car compared to the new RSX(DC5). (DC@ still had the independent suspension)

correction, 4,085...and still counting.

Skylinepilot, you should stop trying to bore everyone to death with your excessively long posts. Luckily (or unfortunately), it's only me who actually reads them.

If thats what you meant by "the RSX is no Integra", then what do you have to say about this car?

or this one?

Who is to say the 3rd generation Integra was the "real" Integra? Can I not, in the same breath, say the DC2, a "fun, sporty" car, deviated from the original, a "not-so fun, not-so sporty" car?

I know what you mean when you said the DC5 losts some of the 'good' qualities of the DC2.

But to say the DC5 "is no Integra", that is just plain nonsense.

You can keep counting, it doesn't matter to me. It just means how many words it has taken for you to understand me. If other people are not reading my threads than thats great, I was hoping that I wasn't wasting their time. The threads were directed to you so you are the only person that should be reading them. If you are saying it is unfortunate that others have not been reading my threads then I guess that means that people will not get the chance to see what an *** you have been. Luckily? Yes, maybe for you.

damn. i used my friend's accoutn when posting.

i meant, that the dc2 still had the double wishbone suspension for the fronts instead of the strut design of the dc5.

actually, that year integra is pretty fun to drive compared to what is available at the time. it is very light for its size and its engine puts its performance almost with the crx si. bad points on old susp designs and low powered egine.

And I've never driven any other year Integra so I don't know how they compare.

I'm here!

I have an RSX, and that should qualify as an Integra because that's what it is.

I would say that the Integra and RSX are hatchbacks, because they do have a hatch in the back. The reason why people call it a coupe is because I think most people think of a Micra as a hatchback or something, the RSX is pretty long and big to qualify as your typical hatchback.
