FL Integra TypeS(iS) VS. pre-FL Integra TypeS(iS)
-
Which one is nicer 
? the specs the same ? Why change to 17" s/rim ? How the 17" s/rim help with the car handling ? Do i get from KAH Motor or parellel importers ? where to get better? Is it ok to get a used one or get a new one?
Anyone have LOBANG? anyone selling ? or know who wanna sell ?
-
and if i get one integra typeS. should i get manual or auto ? any comments?
-
Manual
-
eee. y buy gsr? the fl looks more "refined" with its straight cuts and cluster lamps. the pre-fl looks chunkier and more "fierce" IMO. no change in specs AFAIK.

Ppl not like u got the "TYPE-R" Badge there leh...Originally posted by tailslide:eee. y buy gsr? the fl looks more "refined" with its straight cuts and cluster lamps. the pre-fl looks chunkier and more "fierce" IMO. no change in specs AFAIK.

hahaa if i can get the typeR i will ! be the insurance and FC high right ? i juz like the look. of coz the specs for typeR is GOOD ! but typeS will be good enough for me for now.
And i should get a manual one ? but for manual one is it harder to open the vtec ?as in like must lower a gear to open vtec? coz for auto u juz have to step on the accelerator and it will automatic detect it and open up the vtec am i right ? 
any integra owners here ? get it from KAH motor ? or parallel importers better ?
any comments ?
i heard that for auto the gear shift if u use the +/- gear change the gear will spoil very fast ?? is that true ? So the facelift version also look nice ? wahhhhhhhh!!! very hard to choose leh. i think there is not much diff but somehow the older one still looks better ? hahahaaaaaaaa but no facelifted version only can get used ones?
Is it ok to buy used integra iS ???
Ohhhh HELP ME !~!~!!!!

hahaaa -
insurance will be high for type R
if u get the type S than convert to type R only cost around 10k
but u have e type R chasis.
auto tranny spoil faster if u play always play the +-
manual more easy to open lah, just nid to shift fast
auto, they shift by themself, most of the time, will not be in vtec range.
even the +- will not help much... -
insurance is bout the same for the gsr lah. both considered performance sports coupe.Originally posted by TRD_Sport_M:insurance will be high for type R

even if u spend 10k to get the parts, u still need to pay the workshops to fix 1) ur new engine,
2) new engine harness,
3) new ecu,
4) new fuel system,
5) new extractors,
7) new exhaust,
8 ) new steering,
9) new gearbox,
10) new transmission link,
11) new drivelines/shafts,
12) new brakes,
13) new suspension,
14) new sway bars/strut bars,
15) new seats,
16) new steering wheel,
17) new color coded interior panels,
18 ) new cluster gauge,
19) new front/rear lip,
20) new spoiler....
before u can pass off as a R. end of the day, u also wun have the R chassis. the R chassis offers more rigidity and less likened to flex during corners. not 2 mention the trouble and heartache u're likely to suffer with the loss of transport from the job and the amount of return trips u have to make to the workshop for troubleshooting.
spend so much, do so much, end up can only sell the car as a GSR coz no dumbass would pay for a type-R depreciation after ur aftermarket job. worst still, kena caught by lta or get into an accident ur insurance company dun cover all the type-R parts u sank ur money in. wot for? -
but facelife version or non facelifed nicer ? actually i think the non facelifed the lights looks nicer but i can only get an used car, cant get new one.
but i tot the auto one u step all the way down it will automated detected u wanna a boost and it will open vtec ? but for the manual one u have to down a gear to achieve the higher rpm then vtec will open ?
anyway do i get from parallel importers ? or KAH motor ? any suggestions ?
if i get used one any one know any one selling ??? -

buy half cut also wun give u the complete fuel, brakes and exhaust system. plus like i said, u dun get proper R chassis to begin with. u r quoting "10k" and thats the half cut price. new one can 4get about getting the parts at that price. somemore no guarantee things will be up and working by the time u are done. might as well have bot the R in the first place.Originally posted by TRD_Sport_M:i tot gsr is consider as coupe only

Hey is it ok to buy an integra GSR if i am the 3rd owner?? its 11/2002. mileage 60,000Km ( which i think is quite alot, my car going to 5yrs only 69,000km)
but it is under KAH motor warranty, which is quite rare cause KAH only sold a few units of integra gsr at that time and mostly is P.I(parellel importer).
So is it ok to get the car in the 3rd owner position ? but 2 owners in 2.5 yrs is not a good thing ya?
can anyone help me out ? any suggestion ? -
buy a new car lor. like dat yr mind can be ease.Originally posted by zc11:Hey is it ok to buy an integra GSR if i am the 3rd owner?? its 11/2002. mileage 60,000Km ( which i think is quite alot, my car going to 5yrs only 69,000km)

by the way 60000km for 2.5 yrs ais the average , it is u whu drive very little.
my one 4 months already 10000km liao. -
forget it. even if it was really from KM, there's probably only 6 months warranty left or worst, none at all left coz it already hit 60k mileage. wats the point of lusting after something that wun be tangible after half a year?Originally posted by zc11:Hey is it ok to buy an integra GSR if i am the 3rd owner?? its 11/2002. mileage 60,000Km ( which i think is quite alot, my car going to 5yrs only 69,000km)

besides, gsr is so common on the roads now. out of tegs u c on the roads, take stone throw also will hit one gsr. u also need to ask urself y the car change owner once a year. car giving probs? car got accident? car too slow?
u'd have better luck finding one w only one owner and lower mileage. how much he selling btw? -
the warranty is still on but i think left like 6mths. its 3yrs or 100,000km right ? he selling for $72k.
wat is the difference between gsr and tegs ? i tot the same ? iS = gsr? -
so u see my point about the warranty? whats the depreciation like in this case? 72k? the new one costs like 15k more if i'm not mistaken. not worth it lor.
"teg" is a short form for "integra". the gsr is the IS no doubt. -
72 k for a 2.5 yrs car quite ex liao lehOriginally posted by zc11:the warranty is still on but i think left like 6mths. its 3yrs or 100,000km right ? he selling for $72k.

for yr refernce, all drive lesser mileage, and only one owner, and cheaper. and still cna bargain usually. -
but all this should be from parallel importer. the one i talking about is from KAH motor and is maintain by agent. anyway good webbies! thx ! i didnt know got this webbies for car sales ! REALLY THX ALOT !!!
any other webs like this to buy cars ?? coz thru dealers still must pay % to the dealers hhahaa -
but all this i think most likely has no more warranty also...
then not maintain by agent. do u think i can buy ? is it alright to buy ?
is out side maintain by other workshop good ? -

for yr refernce, all drive lesser mileage, and only one owner, and cheaper. and still cna bargain usually. so lets say for this 2 cars in the add right. is it better to get a new one or is it ok to get from the 2nd hand ?
can tell me the advantages and disadvantages for both ???
thx alot because i need to make a decision sooon -
For cars like integra, better to get a new one. As most owners would have wacked the car pretty hard. In ur case for a 2.5yrs KM integra, is way overpriced, a brand new one cost only 86K. Somemore 2nd owner. Trying to pass most of the depreciation to you, or making a fast buck.Originally posted by zc11: so lets say for this 2 cars in the add right. is it better to get a new one or is it ok to get from the 2nd hand ?

but the cars come with kits and accessories like HID, mugen s/rims, typeR suspension, all this add up to quite alot of $$$ ya ? if i get new one and add all this it will be probably another 10k.Originally posted by ernie77:For cars like integra, better to get a new one.

and from wat i know the 03 integra was around 90k+ near 100k ??
ya i know usually they drive the car pretty hard =)
but wat about if it is a 2 yrs integra but lady driver??
anyway the car got no more warranty because the car was not from KAH motor. hey if the maintainence and servicing done by outside workshop is it alright ? -
It's really better to get a first hand one. Type S oso comes with HID. Really no point converting GSR to R, if u wan look, type S is good enuff. Go for R if u want power and look.
