O.G. here... got to drive my old teg

Wow. I had so much fun driving the ol’ jasper green teg! I miss having an integra so bad! Anyone else not have a teg but miss theirs? Pictures to follow this evening!

TegYoungin is the current owner of the jasper green aka g2teg 2. He’s doing a great job at keeping up the car and customizing it to his liking. I’m so happy the teg has a great owner!!!

Yes I bought a WRX for the speed/wagon/AWD/newer but it hasn’t proven to be nearly as much fun as my Integra was to drive. I am currently looking for a clean G2 to buy - hard to find down here - and make it my project car.

I had an 03 WRX. It had 58k when 1st gear went out. Then drove it starting in 2nd for a few months. Then 2nd went out. Subaru of America claimed it was abuse and neglect. It was faulty parts. Probably my last 5 speed Subaru. I would consider an automatic Subaru though. Anyway had the WRX at the same time as the teg and always picked driving the teg over the WRX. :slight_smile:

Automatic subarus are about as fast as a civic lol.

Thats awesome!

I am myspace friends with the kid that bought my Integra. He put ebay halos and altezzas on it, then crashed it! Fortunately he is fixing it. I still miss my first Integra.

I’ve never driven a WRX, but I would have never imagined someone saying they prefer the Integra over a WRX. :think:

What was the reason behind that?

Don’t get me wrong the WRX is pretty fun. I’ve rally crossed it a couple times and it’s shown to be a pretty quick car with just an exhaust and a tune.

But it’s bigger than my Integra and not as nimble. It might be that my first car was a G2 and I had made it my own through lots of hard work. But the WRX just doesn’t feel as sporty as my little Integra did. I’ve wanted a turbo Integra since I started driving - so that will be my project :slight_smile:

My WRX makes a GREAT daily driver though.

My friend let me drive his 05 sti and that thing was so dam fast. I had the hardiest time trying to shift because i was smashed in to the seat. Id love to get one but i think id keep on to my teg instead only because id just end up killing my self with a car that powerful. OP, thats cool you got to drive you’re old teg. Hope you end up getting another one.

The STI is a much different car than the WRX. Way stiffer and the gearing makes for some cool acceleration.

Cool is not the word:) that thing was off the hook. Iv always wanted to drive the wrx just to see the different in the way they handle.

Did he do anything to the car? Stock they’re about even with my car, which is quick but not anything impressive.

STIs are a lot stiffer, they feel tighter. It’s a much harsher car and they really aren’t that great for daily driving.

I know we did work to it when he first got it. We put a bigger down pipe and a bigger BOV. Then we cut out the cat. I know he had moved the inter cooler to the front of the car,added a turbo timer and chipped the ECU. He is pushing about 400whp as far is i know. Might be a lil faster now because he has been doing more mods.

Yeah just something about the teg is “just right.” The WRX was fun but I liked my quick response, I hated waiting for the turbo to spool. Off the line, the teg was quicker, but later the WRX left it in the dust. The 02/03 WRX’s had the same transmissions as the standard legacy or outback- I can’t remember but that transmission wasn’t built for a turbo set-up, thus the poor design.

I would love to get a Subaru Legacy 2.5 GT though :drool:

My first car was a 78 Subaru 4 speed. It was so ugly but was so fast to fix and lasted tell i got my Lincoln mark 7. I miss that car so much and have never seen 1 like it around. But like you said,the DA is just so much funner to drive.
