Bought an Integra, selling the Corolla

Like the title says, I just bought a 1994 Acura Integra RS, 5 speed...

It's the base model, but has a 1.8L 142hp engine in it, so its alot more fun than my 105hp, 3 speed automatic Corolla

I'm going to be trying to sell the Corolla soon... i'm gonna miss it though

woohoo, a stick! Welcome to the darkside with me

nice, sell the corolla, get money off that and mod your teggy.

Ill race your 142hp 1.8L Vtec with my 170hp 1.8L Lift. Nah just playing man. Congrats and i hope your happy with it. Im sure it seems like a rocket compared to the rolla. Although give it a week and it will seem slow and youll want more power, LoL.

^She's a chick

Yeah, its a nice change from the Rolla for sure... first thing is fixing the few little rust spots on the body and painting it flat black just to be different... then im gonna do the suspension, struts, new strut mounts, and lowering springs (prolly kyb struts and neuspeed springs)... then its time for some performance mods... first thing is a header (suppose to be the worse bottleneck on the stock integra's), then exhaust/intake... and maybe an ecu chip (the spoon one is suppose to give about 10~12 flywheel hp, but requires premium)...

nice dood congrats... I'm thinking about switching to another car myself too

^^^ i think secretely we all are...

well I mean yea but I was thinking on doing a 3SGTE swap on my rolla but I dk I want something newer and better.... but as of right now I'm not really sure yet I might keep the rolla or might not it's only a matter of time for me.

to be completely honest, if i had the money, i dont think id be driving my rolla.

Yea my mom just bought the rolla with a really good deal from this grandma for $3,500 and it only had like 60K and then my she drove it up till like 80k+ and then I paid her $3,000 for it since she bought her Pilot and needed the money for down payment. The car has been a great daily driver and a nice car but I'm ready for something faster and better.... I mean the only reason I wanted that 3SGTE swap on that car was because Corollas are rare cars when modded so that's why but so far trying to mod that car has been a royal pain in the ass but I dk only time will tell wether I'll keep it or just go for something newer... I'm going to stay with Toyota that's for sure

yeah, i get why a corolla? from everyone. Now i got a XRS 05, and that surely is surprising people here, cause no one knows wtf XRS means.

I mean these cars got mad potential but is just that to mod these cars is just a headache and it hurts the pocket and not too many ppl mod rollaz is cuz of that.....

Yeah, I wish I had the money to properly mod a corolla (which would almost include an engine swap)... nice about the Integra, the aftermarket struts are cheaper for the same model compared to the corolla

Turbo the stock engine for 3k. There ya go.

congrats. integras are nice cars

scions people

your probably right, then again unless u own a fully souped supra or sumthing, everyone ALWAYS wants an upgrade

Couldn't agree more... but even with a 700hp+ Supra... id be pissed off if i lost to a modified street bike, so i'd still want more lol

how much faster does the teg feel than teh corolla?

It feels alot faster... I had probably the slowest Corolla ever made though, 105hp with a 3 speed automatic doens't equal fast usually, heh... Yeah, I found some old articles in my magazines from 95-96 for Integra's and they seem to do the 1/4 mile in 15.7~15.9 seconds stock... and I think my corolla does it in like 18 seconds soo... it feels alot better, lol

Anyone know what the gear ratios are for the C50 tranny? I was curious myself how it seems nearly stock Hondas can bark the 1-2 shift, yet even when I'm shifting hard I never seem to.

*Edit*

Nevermind. Googled it.

Corolla
Trans Model - First - Second - Third - Fourth -- Fifth
C50-----------3.545 - 1.904 - 1.310 - 0.969 - 0.815
C52-----------3.166 - 1.904 - 1.310 - 0.969 - 0.815




Integra
Car Model - First - Second - Third - Fourth - Fifth - Reverse -- Final Drive
RS/GS/LS-- 3.230 - 1.900 - 1.269 - 0.966 - 0.742 - 3.000 ----- 4.266
GSR------- 3.307 - 2.105 - 1.458 - 1.107 - 0.875 - 3.000 ----- 4.400

My integra barks on the 1-2 and the 2-3 shift

I don't know why the 93-97 won't chirp though, the gearing isn't bad, 105hp should still chirp... but... its hard to get it to chirp, I couldn't get a 96 5 speed to chirp at all...

Anyways, I figure that i'll post up more info. on the Integra, since I feel like I got a great deal on it...

1994 Acura Integra RS
186 000 kms (105 000 miles)
5 Speed, Power Windows, Power Mirrors

Has a Pioneer deck (this years model), 2 6.5" Pioneer speakers (not the cheap ones, the ones the step up above, i'll have to take a look to see the model again) on the front doors...

A little bit of rust around the rear quarter panels (getting fixed this summer, when im painting it flat black)...

Paid $3300 Canadian for it ($2650 USD)... I think I got a great price for it...

Had it checked out at 2 garages first, only thing both places could find is that i'll need new bolts and a gasket between the exhaust manifold and the catalytic converter, and the car needs 2 bushings in the front...

revhard turbo kits are sick, my cousin has the revhard stage 2 turbo kit in his 93 civic HB with a JDM b16 engine in it, hes runs 13.5 at 5 psi with only other minor bolt ons and if he pushes it to 8psi he could run 12s

A friend of mine has a mid-90s LS auto..he said it's 16.7-8 stock. M/t seems to make quite a difference..

yeah If I had 700 id probably decide to go for 900. once I was up in that range I think i'd stop.

haha shit I wish I could pull those in my rolla lol.... damn a 900 pony rolla.... :druel: I wonder what kinda times that would be pulling out.... *ponders*

Why not go for 1000hp hehe
