Bonjour Veedub! Merci for the custom shot we prefer the owner manual to be on or in the car, but we can't be THAT picky I guess
Very nice car! One of the best FF around

Thanks for the pics and its good to see another member who can read
I am not a big fan of the looks of this generation of Integra (the newer ones are nice) but the performance of the high-revving engine can't be doubted so that makes up for it IMO

Infortunately, the Integra DC5 is not imported in France, maybe because the DC2 was not a commercial success over here (only 450 models sold, all in white, mine was imported from Germany).

thank for the info, here it is the opposite as we have more of the newer (DC5) models than the previous version At least yours isn't white like the rest of them, so its even more rare

Great car.
I love the R models. The poor man's racecars.
I have driven the Integra R and the Civic R and they are so much fun.
The amount of fun these cars provide are insane. The whole package is very well put together and that engine is music to my ears.
Some say, taht R engines are too lout but I don't mind.
The cars have a gokart feel to them and the steering is so sensitive, it's a joy to drive them.

I have no idea, hopefully more than stock.
I'm not looking for big hp number. I use this car every day and it needs to be drivable.
I don't think we can speak in French but nice effort though.

Veedub I love your car !!! Such a great car you have. Integra's are very , very nice imo. Great choice of car you have
But may I ask some question's about your ITR ?
1.If you bought it when it was stock, how was the sound, I mean is it very loud at 8.400 rpm or still very quiet ? And do you hear a good difference compared to normal cars ?
2. Can you discribe the sound under 5.800 rpm, when the VTEC doesn't kick in ? (stock)
3. Are there things about the ITR that should have been better or that you don't like ?
THX. Good luck with your awsome car.

You think it is noisy when you're inside because sound proofing is poor compared to other cars, but from the outside it's not that loud for a stock NA sportscar (in my opinion).
2. Can you discribe the sound under 5.800 rpm, when the VTEC doesn't kick in ? (stock)
|
Cruising at low revs, the stock sound is just like a normal 4 pot engine. Quiet disppointing when you turn the engine on for the first time.
3. Are there things about the ITR that should have been better or that you don't like ?
|
The fake carbon inserts in the car look horrible, the stock brakes are a bit weak, the tires are not wide enough (205/50 is really better than the stock EUDM 195/55), there 's no oil temp gauge... and that's all.
