Don't let any other cars take you away from your current choice - you won't regret getting one lol

 

[crazymat666]

well i say 6 months it has come down to the next month or asap lol.i cant wait lol.

need to sell my integra 1st thow

be my 1st rwd car bit worryed to be honest not that dangerous isit ??

 

[Suspect]

Just respect the fact that its a RWD car when you drive it and you will be fine. I've not had to many problems with mine and my last car was a KA sport!:wack: Use mine as my daily driver come rain, shine and yes the snow too.

Know your limits and don't drive like a tit and much fun will be had.:nod:

Good luck with your search you will not regret it.:thumbs:

same as above^^^

i have a spec r as my daily driver, and came from a long line of fwd hot hatches. it takes a little getting used to, but show it a little respect and take the time to get to know the car's characteristics, you will not regret buying the s15.

the car is pretty honest, and will let you know if there is an issue, but as soon as possible after purchase, i would recommend a rolling road session, particularly if the car comes modified. this will tell you if the car is running rich/lean. (plus it will give you those all important power figures!)

good luck with the purchase and welcome!

What teg have you got at the mo? There are a few of us on here that used to own DC2's and EK9's etc

 

[crazymat666]

Ye definitly I wouldn't wanna drive it like a tit anyway it's alot of money to smash up and id feel a tit haha

I have a Jdm 96 spec integra dc2

done me wonders over the past few years but I feel a turbo can only replace it.

And a silvia spec r hopefuly the aero kit too can fill it's parking space

hey jayonc is that your car in the pic?was it on pistonheads recently?

 

[meddler]

all good advice here. If you really want to know how your car behaves, I suggest you try it on the track. Not only will you have a blast, you will find out how much fun you can have and also learn your limits.

 

[C1TPT]

Youve allready got the advice you need so ill just say WTTC :wave: lol

Ohh if you need to know anything about the car then 90% of the time it will have already been covered on here so have a search and itll pop up! :thumbs:

 

[crazymat666]

Ye nice one

well thank you to everyone for the advice as soon as I get 1 I will get some pics up

cheers every1

yep, that was the one. it needed a lil tidying up as had been a lil neglected and i managed to negotiate a discount to reflect this. under the skin its all sound and runs real nice. took a bit of a punt on it, but so far it seems to be a good un (jay touches wood, and not the phallic kind!)

 

[crazymat666]
