Integra Type R DC2

[Relentless81]

Still, each to their own.

Indeed, when most people go out and buy a car like an Integra they do so because of what it is and what others think about it, for me that doesnt interest me in the slightest, I dont care about branding and I dont care about what the reviews say, i'd rather make my own mind up, drive them both and think about what i'm using it for, if I would have bought a DC2 it would have done my head in as a daily, it was noisy and rattly compared to my Prelude and I found the Prelude to be a much nicer place to be and much nicer to drive in traffic where I do most of my driving so for me, the Prelude is the better car.

I almost always prefer the underdog too, which is why I preffered the Corolla over the Civic, when driving both of those you would expect the Corolla to be dissapointing and the Civic to blow you away when you go off what people say on forums etc but for me it was quite the opposite

I think you've totally missed the point in what I was saying there about the general attitude of the motors section and how I find it interesting but you would make it out to look like that wouldnt you, hence why you have prooven my point

A little outline of what has happened with you in this thread, somehow typical of those felt oppressed by this magical Motors Conglomerate or meaness.

Relentless - Post about how the DC2 isn't all that special and overpriced.
Motors - Those with experience ask for examples of experience on how view was formed.
Relentless - Random example of a mate owning one and I've been in a few and preferred a prelude.
Motors - Much lolz at reply.
Relentless - Adopts well know stance of OMG it's an 'opinion'.
Motors - More questions regarding experience and view.
Relentless - OMG I'm being abused, you are all ganging up horrible people, typical Motors crew!!!!!
Motors - Much lolz.

Always seems to go the same way tbh when someone digs their own grave and just provides a target for people to fire some volleys at, then complains about bullying rather than having a a decent discussion about it. Christ I'm sounding like the big bad Fox

Dude, just chill out, we are discussing the Teg on here, no need to start crying about it when people pickup on silly statements!

 

[Relentless81]

You see I read that and just think its pathetic, its got nothing to do with the cars and just proves my point further, things like "Much lolz" just makes cringe in how absolutely pathetic it actually is, you continue to attempt to feed the fire going as far from the original debate as possible and as far into the witch hunt as you can whilst I sit here passing the time laughing at you until I go out safe in the knowledge that you'll probably sit here all day frantically pressing F5 hoping there is something you can say to try and be funny in front of the motors crew, it really is quite sad

I am chilled thanks, perfectly chilled and my statement is far from silly, reqad my last post and you might begin to understand why instead of being ignorant

Indeed, when most people go out and buy a car like an Integra they do so because of what it is

I'd say that tends to be a factor in any purchase decision

As for choosing it because of what others think about it, not so sure, maybe some people do but I tend to buy stuff for me rather than anybody else.

I've driven a few Preludes, they are nice. But they are not an Integra Type-R. If you want a really focused driving machine you are going to have to make a lot of changes to the Prelude to get it to Integra standards. If you don't want that driving experience, you won't be looking at buying an Integra in the first place.

Feel free to leave then, because it bores some of us to tears when people spark up their pointless boring moral crusades in the middle of otherwise interesting threads.

Totally sensible point and have no problems with any of it, hopefully you understand why I went for the Prelude over the Integra though, it suited me more where as what I am saying is that someone else would have just gone for the Integra without even trying the Prelude just because of what others say about it

No thanks, you dont have to read my posts

 

[Kenai]

No thanks, you dont have to read my posts

I do have to put up with perfectly good threads being ruined by your utter tripe though, sadly.

If it was as easy as just not reading, believe me, i'd do just that.

 

[Relentless81]

Well then you'll just have to deal with it wont you, i've done nothing wrong other than say what others wont for fear of being ripped into, luckily I dont have that issue. If you dont like it so much maybe dont carry it on?

 

[stulid]

The intention was not to make you out to be supporting my point which was obvious, it was because you would know exactly what I meant when I said there was long running banter about the two cars and its not just me that prefers the Prelude as it was being made out to be in this thread, there are many others that have said it in the past and you know it

ROFL, you were hoping he would back your failed opinion up, and you know it, but he hasn't

Superior vehcle? I wonder if you know what your on about at all to come out with such a generalistic comment? Why is it superior? Because it has cheap and nasty looking Recaros, a Type-R badge and good handling out of the box? Any car can have good handling, just not always out of the box. Why dont you tell Performance Autoworks to run a DC-2 over their Prelude

Well you already have been proven wrong about Autoworks and which car they run

Its not just the better handling either, its straight line performance is stronger.

You seem to forget who I work for

 

[Kenai]

Sadly I will, because nothing will be done about this sort of **** in threads and i'll probably get suspended again in a few months for using the word moron in a thread full of insults whilst nobody else does. Such is life.

Wow do you see what I mean, such an aggresive attitude and what for? Because your absolutely deperate for what? To prove a point? To win? On the internets!!????!?!?

What the hell are you talking about I was hoping he would back me up? Its perfectly obvious that was not my intenetion and you saying that is particulary childish and does nothing but prove my point further!

I didnt know PA use a DC2 as i've been out of the Honda cirlces for a good while as their interesting cars are too old and they have nothing that interests me anymore, the fact that PA use a DC2 now is fine, I dont have issues with that what so ever, its not standard though is it! It clearly uses Meister-R suspension. Last I read their Prelude was being built from the shell up and I was gfollowing the build so forgive me for thinking otherwise that wasnt that long ago

I have absolutely no interest in your career thanks

sure you were, but you are now trying to deflect it.

nice to see a racing team using the right car for racing



P.S I am still waiting for the list and URL's of the forums that reckon a Prelude is better than a DC2.

I'm actually lieing outside in the garden sunbathing and my phone doesn't have an F5 key.

It's these sort of posts which get you the grief. You have said so yourself that you arn't in the game so know nothing about the car, then you start harping on about the suspension and some other preulde that Rich has, without knowing anything about those cars, how they have been built, or seemingly anything related to their engineering...... Then wonder why we 'much lolz' at your posts.

stulid, who do you work for if you don't mind saying (will e-mail your trust if you wish to keep it off forum)

I was in "the game" from 2003 to 2009/10 and have owned numerous Honda VTECs over the course of that time and was a member of various Honda forums during that time attending various meets and events with people that I knew and were friends with and still am friends with most of which have moved on

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Whats the 'vtec engine' series based on though. Could well be B18C only? Id pike think Richy has that lude just using it for show and trackday promo rather than a tool for a race series.

A Honda Insight races in a 1000 class. Just depends what the rules allow you to use rather than the best package afterall.

If you want a nice comfy cruiser either lude and DC2 is a minor point. In reality you need to totally step away from a Honda product.

Ah - It all makes sense, a Prelude is obviously better - It has more room in the back.

AH, but there was a four door type-r teg sold in Japan, that makes it easier for all your mates to get in and out off

See this is what I mean, I have clearly said time and time again that the Prelude was the better car for me but selective reading for sake of argument means that is just ignored

Its a joke, get a life.

Next you will be telling me the Prelude is better than an S2000
