That’s good! Your Integra must have been much faster than the ones around where I grew up. :)

I think mine was an LX. It had power everything, including the moon roof. I loved road tripping in it because it was fun to drive. Thinking back, the only issues I had were a fuel pump (kinda a butch to replace) and the PCM. I did a little searching on craigslist and it looks like decent, unmolested (non-riced)…
“A wraith, man! A ghost! A evil spirit - and it ain’t cool!”
I had an ‘88 with the Turbo-II engine/A555 transmission. That car always seemed to have something that needed attention, but it was so damned much fun to drive. It had more personality and low end torque than the Civics, Neons, and VWs of the early 2000s tuner craze, and I always had a little chuckle whenever I…
I owned a ‘91 Accord (generation before the CD5) and everything you are saying applies to it too. Peppy, responsive steering and it felt light and I think it was better looking than the next generation (sorry). It was also very reliable-it was going strong when I sold it at 15yrs old and 255,000 miles. Dammit, now I…
1988 Daytona — That exact specimen was my dream car when I was about 10-12 years old .
I’ve drove one when they were new, sporty on the outside, comfy on the inside, I was impressed but could not afford at the time.
The front has always reminded me of that of an IROC.
It’s funny that you mention if they still built 95 Camry’s that they’d sell as fast as they can be produced. From time to time I get sit downs with various auto execs, and depending on the brand, I will generally have a conversation with them about “If you would have just kept producing X car exactly as it was made in…
Save that shit for Car And Driver.
My gripe with the average car’s styling is that beauty doesn’t cost more. Someone made a conscious decision to draw an unattractive shape. It’s a form of vandalism, or littering or even pollution. When I complain about these ugly cars, it’s not to be mistaken for a desire for more ‘striking’ cars. The Karma is like…
And that is why I love car culture so much! I would never want anything to do with the 8v and yet a turbo Swedish (Saab or Volvo) vehicle of that time period is one of my favorite car types period.
You’ll never know because all GR-Rs have been stolen or destroyed by now.
To be fair though, the mk2 Golf went in production in 1983. 1984 for the mk2 GTI. That’s mk3 Civic/mk1 CRX territory. 1992 saw the introduction of the mk3 GTI (1991 for the mk3 Golf). Not that the mk3 was anywhere as good as the mk1 and 2, but comparing a Integra GS-R to a mk2 Golf is IMHO not a fair comparison.…
This is good “irrational” hate. The RSX by itself, in a vacuum is a damn good car. The fact that it is a follow up to one of the best front drivers ever makes people irrationally hate it, but with good reason, as you’ve laid out.
FTFY!
That is correct: in the case of injury by falls, impacts to the head, or vehicular accident, never move the victim, UNLESS it is safe to do so in order to 1) prevent further injury to the victim, 2) access a second victim with more serious injuries, or 3) get the victim onto a hard, flat surface to be able to perform…
Can’t help but notice that the NASCAR version has windows big enough to se out of...
