cool, i will indeed, i didnt know such a site existed, i'm a newbie on tgtt aswel.

mods-wise she's pretty much factory standard. has a hks backbox, boost gauge, apexi turbo timer and stupid looking kenwood speakers on the parcel shelf that i wanna get rid of:p

everything else that came with it are the factory options like automatic folding mirrors and keyless entry.

Duff

Tis only a new site!! im Duff on both GOI and TGTT:D..mine was pretty factory standard when I got it too, best wy to get em, fresh and clean..what mods ya got planned??

projectgtr

Atomic Pineapple

Are you selling the Integra to drive the Civic stewie? or do you import a good few cars yourself?

actually .....i robbed the pics fom carzone since i don't have a digital camera(ya, should really catch up with the times).
Anyway all the integra r's look pretty much the same.
Only difference is mine is a 03 and thats a 02:eek:

colm_mcm

Ah, explains that! Always like the DC5 in white, to be honest, to me the body looks a bit too narrow and tall, but for some reason a white one always looks good! can't argue with 2 litres of VTEC either!

i actually prefer the old model. Not so much the japanese one with square headlights but the uk model with the round lights looks spetacular. only thing is they're gettin old

p-nut

thanks for the comments lads:D

ah i have plenty of plans for her but cant afford em right now unfortunately; nicer alloys and better tyres, better shocks and springs, fmic, dump valve, better audio system, ye get the idea.

dont worry, she wont stray off the road;)

Work on the suspension first, if its standard it needs attention before you start adding any power or go anywhere near a road with a bend

Quoted for truth! its bad enough when its lowerd with LCA's and strut braces, so its definatly gonna be a boat on standard height!

It's refreshing to see an untainted example of a Glanza. A friend of mine has a fairly ok one but has the most devine Advan RGs on it.

why do I like its unlowered and in the owners own words tractor-ish looks?

haha, leave my tractor alone:p

tbh, it doesnt handle too bad for standard suspension, and yes, suspension is first on the to do list. it feels a LOT more solid on the road than the saxo did.

quick question tho, wat are your opinions on lowering it with new springs on the original shocks? ideally i should get new shocks but cant really afford them right now so i was gonna just make do with new springs for the time being. also, how often does it need a service? it has 70k genuine kms on it but i dunno when it was last serviced and the oil is lookin fairly dirty, and timing belt has never been done either....

Duff

Lowering it with standard shocks and lowering springs wont do any damage but it ill make the ride very hard and bouncy, but if your prepared to put up with that untill you can afford coilovers then go for it!

As for the timing belt and oil questions,
