Its been a long time coming (a year 2 months) since I had to give up my RSX Type-S because I couldn't afford to buy it out...but I finally got my new car!!!

its a 2000 Acura Integra GSR with 60Km...

Koni fully adjustible suspension, and an Alpine alarm

I can't take it out to drive yet (though I drove it home) cause it needs to get plates from the DMV...but its absolutely incredible...Just lights up past 5500 like my RSX but doesn't feel nearly as big...the interiors a step down, but the handling (due to suspension) is amazing! Its lowered a tad and I haven't decided whether I am going to raise it a bit and mabe soften up the suspension

I really do like the red paint job, but I am so scared of the cop magnet effect...I haven't decided whether to paint it or not, and what colour

enh, it's not as much of a cop magnet as you'd think, my car's got a red paint job like yours, but I think what helps is that my exhaust isn't really loud at all, so if you do hook it up with an exhaust, put silencer tips on there or something... Looks really good man! Has the 60K service been done yet, or do honda engines get that stuff at 70K???

I love the red with the sunroof....a great combo. Is that a Legacy in the back?

Yeah its my daily drive to work...and Im going to drive it to Halifax for school

I don't like the shift knob either, but he couldn't find the stock one...but its not staying..

I really do like the rims...the prev owner said he had Civic owners calling about just the rims...and my neighbour already asked me if id want to sell the rim + tire

and no pictures of my sister!! actually she just sold her Celica GT-S, and bought a Ford Escort...im really disappointed in her

It's a honda, 90k :grinyes: Although I'd still change the belt every 5 or so years.

Anyway congrats on teh car. Now you don't have to cruise in the parents Subaru anymore.

Noice!! Congrats Mason. Man, to find a teg in that kind of condition is a very lucky find indeed. Looks incredible. I'd leave it red of course. And the stock wheels are perfect for that car. Honestly, I'd leave it as is, but you can still soften up the suspension.

Congrats on your find. I gotta find me a Teg soon too. I need another project car...:evillol:

Nice ride. Yes, the shift knob is just an eye sore for such a sweet ride.

Definitely keep those rims. They're more pricey than a lot of after market rims and are extremely sought after.

GL with her.

I love those cars. I had one for a whole whopping month and a half before some bitch totalled it. I loved the gas mileage. An exhaust system really adds power to that car.

I definately know the shift know is not staying...I just can't find the stock Integra shift knob, only RSX ones.....

if you guys want to post any shift knob suggestions....I really find almost anything like that really tacky...I dont think i could find a decent one

and if Chico wants to race ill be waitng in the Legacy!!

Metalic 5-speed Type R shift knob screws right on and doesn't look as bad.

I remember that was the first thing Ace$snyper switched out of his LS1.

When I couldn't find a decent stock one for my car I went and got a DA integra one with white numbers and it looks nice.
