i always wonder, if you get rich, or if you are forced to let the integra go, would you keep it, or get another one later?
i talked to a few people who used to have a DA/DB, all of them regret that they sold the integra, or they didnt get another one.
at the moment of my life now, i am not thinking to sell it, i meant ever.
unlike other people , if i get rich, instead of getting a newer car, i would spend 10 G or more to do a type r swap and re-do the whole interior with leather, and of course , brand new suspension is a must. after all these the DA would still be a daily car.
i dont wanna get another car any more, i gusse i am hardcore , i dont know about others.
Without going much into it, if I could have the car I drive now and still been able to have my old DA, I would have. That being said, I would NEVER trade the car I own now for my old DA. Why? Because that thing is almost 20 years old. Even as much as I loved it, it’s very much outdated and no matter how much money I put into it, it will never feel “new” to me.
I have had my eyes set on getting a new DA to mod though.
Im with OP. Just way too many good times in such a kickass car. Ive had mine since i was 15, It was my first car. I have since replaced it as a dd with a 97 chevy truck, so i could take the teg off the road as a dd and really start making dreams come true (turbo, slammed, so on and so forth). Ill never let her go! And if i have to, i got enough spare parts around to justify buying another. DA> everything else!
I would never ever give up my DA. Its my tool to help keep me sane. I’ve had it since May of 98’ and dont ever plan on selling it. In fact, people that I went to high school with still recognize me in it.
I was forced to sell my original DA, which was my slammed 91 LS Torino. I regretted selling that car about 5 feet away from it. I could never forget it and always just foamed at the mouth when i saw a nice looking DA.
Until now! Now i picked up my white 92 RS, and this car is not going anywhere. i will put this thing on stands and let it sit if i can afford to run it. I will never let go of this car, not after the first one left.
i know i just got mine a year ago but ive grown so attached to it im gonna have a drive this car when im 70 hopefully if i become homless im sleeping in the teg but seriously i love DA/DB integras my freinds kinda make fun off me sometimes and tell me to get a car thats fast but most of the time this is coming from sombody whos daddy has bought them 4 cars since he was 14 and know hes 19. Since i bought the car i just kinda have a special attachment to my car i take care of the teg and it takes care of me.:rockon:
Never selling my DA i sold my 1st DB1 and it was a bad mistake. then i went thru 5 Da/Db’s to get that feel back now i got it with my DA i will keep it for EVA
Well I sold mine. I dunno, it’s just not that much fun after the switch to rwd. It would only be fun on a roadcourse, but I have a civic for that already. All it has going for it at this point is looks imo.
I dont think ill sell my DA. I put way to much money in it and am looking to give it to my lil girl when she’s older to drive. Now if im about to die in the next year or so or die in my sleep,the car will be sold and the money will be put away for my child.
sold it with no regrets. Even if I was loaded and had a place to park a 2nd car I don’t think I’d own another one. It was a decent car and it served its purpose. I am still actively scouring junkyards for parts to sell here locally and on ebay on the outside chance that someday another da might fall into my lap. I figure the more of them I can keep on the road the better.
the other thing i can agree with few of you is, with money you can make anything feel new
dump 20 G, 7000 type r motor and other performerce parts, 3000 for suspension, 3000 paint job, 800 for the seats, 3000 to do sound proof and cover all the plastic pieces with leather, 1000 for sounding systerm , another 1000 for alert, after you get all these done , you still got extra money for other stuff, when you sit in the car, you feel like its a lamborghini, cuz it has leather interior just like the real lamborghini, then you got a 200 hp motor NA motor under the hood.
well, what can i say , most you guys have other cars over $20k for a daliy driver
its just what you want, most people would think, it aint worth the money for a 20 year old car.
the only thing other people can bitch about hondas is most of them are FWD.
anyways, glad to here from yall loving DA/DBs so much
i would never ever sell my db1 at all because it use to belong to my father’s BESTEST GOOD friend in whole freakin’ World, no joke. he helped my family when they first moved to California before i was even born, he also gave my dad his first machanic job back in 1985. he didn’t want to let it go as well but had to because of a motocycle accident in 2005 that made it painful for him to use his left leg and being that the db1 was a manuel…made it impossible for him to drive. so he sold it to me for dirt cheap in 2008…it’s cool because i see him every once in while and he always screams out, “what the hell/f*ck did u do to my car? damn ricer!!!” then he’ll laugh it off. last month i gave him a reunion and took him out for a test drive…i sweared his eyes started watering up, and i called him a Pussy. never ever will i part from this car.
