Acura Integra Type R vs Eclipse GSX

[TypeR]

well whatever, iv heard quite a bit of people complaining about their talons having tranny problems all the time....and there almost the same car with same parts as the eclipse, yes they did come in fwd but they are very rare, and yes i know you can reinforce any tranny for a price but we aren't exactly about dropping a mint in the thing, 9 secs you say? That would for sure be having some kinda problems once in a while and maybe it ok if you don't race it lots but any car would be, but we aren't talkin about 9 sec's, that a very hard goal to acheive with any 4cyl car. I ment hp stuff by the sapping of hp because of the awd...

Oh I see what you meant. And yeah, streetable 9 and 10 sec. DSM's. If you want to see bout it cars(the above specified DSM's), check out Modified.com. Brand new mag, sorry but no H's in it. They were giving away free subscriptions to promote it at the website.

wet origon? that must suck if its wet alot there, awd all the way then, my car doesn't even drive good in the wetness, it jsut spins

I will apologize in advance for the rice-flame comment:

add a nice carbon wing, it should look pretty good

Anyone who doesnt know cars will think all big wings are ugly. Anyone who knows cars will say "why is that retard putting a huge wing on car that isnt RWD?" or "either that guy competes in 120mph races or he doesnt know a thing about physics"

[1320B4U]

Sorry we don't all have such good looking cars. But for the 90-91 Talon, theres not much out there, and its looks leave me wanting. Im not talking about a huge wing, just one that will spruce it up a little. Since my engine work is about done, Im moving on to the looks department. I already have AGX's in the box, there waiting for either Eibach springs or Ground Controls(can't decide). Wheels are pretty spendy, and the few used 17" powdercoated whites iv'e found are 4 lug of course. The car is red but getting new paint this summer, red again. But the stock spoiler is horrid you know if you've seen them, so I was going to take it off and get the holes filled, and get a new spoiler just because without one I dont think it would help. I don't know if the Bomex MR2 front end will clear my front mount, I had to trim down the stock cover quite a bit. So there's my situation. I mean, when you have to take the yellow out of the corners to get clears, you know there no aftermarket for the style.

not sure if that helps or not

in the bmw 330s the 330ix is faster than the 330i because it gets better traction on take off
i dont kno if that applies to the eclipse or not

and the thing holding bak accord engines is not the lack of power, cause there really isnt a lack of power, if they would've advanced the timing from the factory and made it run on supreme like all the other import V6s in its class than we would've had like 220hp or so

and the main thing holding it bak is the automatic
if they made a manual transmission it would be much faster, pulling 14's stock

but i heard the 7th gen accord coupe will be the new honda sport coupe so it will have a manual transmission since the prelude will be discontinued

if they made a manual trans for the accord right now, i doubt anyone would buy the prelude, since the accord is cheaper and it would be faster with the manual

What are talking about 14's stock? I don't think they would even come close. They don't have the "leaness" to pull 14's, bro.

And from what I've read there will be a special edition accord next year with a 6-speed. The new accord v6 is supposed to have 240 or so HP.

[VTEC V6]

the mags have gotten like 14.9-15.1 with the 03 accord V6 5spd auto
the new 6spd coupe will come out early next year and will most likely pull mid 14s stock

and a current 6th gen accord V6 with a manual would prob run low 15s, maybe high 14s with some mods

ppl are already getting low 15s with bolt ons
check out accordV6.com for more info

Notalotaboost hate to say it but ur lying. There is no way u ripped on a type r with ur ATX fwd. I raced a type r in my awd-t. It was hard and i still lost (the first time). I took him 1 and 2nd gear then he pulled on me while i shifted to 3rd and he beat me by like half a car, maybe less. This was on road. The teg weighs less than eclipse i think. I dont like honda tuners cuz they jock what they see in magazines but teg or lude would be only one i drove. Maybe it was my shifting...or not...

132 there is only 1 versionof the eclipse that is awd(GSX). base, RS,GS,GST,GSX and thats all... Its easy car to mod but expensive as hell to maintain when something goes wrong.

[95GSX]

Hahaha Hard Fucken Question I Raced A 2001 Type R. He Had 100 Shot Of Noz. He Bet 1000.00 Dollars. My 95 Gsx Is A Big Time Sleeper!!!! Two Days Before The Race I Dropped A New Engine Of A 1993 Eagle Talon Tsi. In The Engine It Self I Dropped 5000.00 Dollars. With A New Stage 4 Garret Turbo Pushing 22 Pounds. So He Thought He Was Ganna Get Me Cause He Had Noz. All I Thing Is That Type R Are Just For Show They Weren't Ment To Race. Don't Race A 1995 Red Gsx Around Seattle Ur Ganna Get Smoked. Don't Be Stuppid Like That Dude In The Type R!!!!

A pure stock bout would be extremely close. The GSX is turbo charged and has AWD with mad torque. If its pure stock the GSX would win, but not by much.

If u wanted modded the Type R has way more aftermarket products such as superchargers and custom suspension. But u have to take into account that the GSX is turbo charged, so just add a 20g turbo and u can make 500+ hp.

[longlivetheZ]

I think the GSX probably has more potential because it's turbo charged.....but they make turbos and all kinds of shit for the Teg too, so.....meh.

[dsmodder]

gsx would win. and who cares about stock?

[kman10587]
