A Bit of a Goodbye

Hey guys.
Well, its time for me to leave.

I haven't really posted much. Lol. But i am on here ALOT. Kinda happens when this is your homepage. Haha.

A few weeks ago, I sold off my 1996 Gen2 Subaru Liberty LX.
Man, i loved that car, but it was time to move on.

I have been around alot, but i haven't really had to use the information on the forums, which in a way, it was a good thing, meaning that things never went wrong with my Lib! :give_hear

It was a pleasure to own, and was a great first car. Ended up selling it off for a bit cheaper then i liked, but, i know its going to a good home, and wanted to offload it before i hit the 200k kms mark.

Anyway, thought you guys might like an insight into what i have bought.
Picked her up on Saturday from my best mate. So i know nearly everything about it. Hell, i even picked the car for him when he was looking.

Its a 2003 Honda Integra Type R.
Specs include:
[LIST]
* K20A (yes, it has Vtec yo!)
* 18" Ozzy Racing volknova black with chrome outter lip
* Injen intake
* Exhaust
* Slight lowering
* Aftermarket rear lip (stocko bar was in an acco)
* Custom red and black leather retrimed Recaro's and door skins
* Pionner heaunit wiht Ipod control
* 71xxx km's
* Tinted Windows
[/LIST]

And the part that you have all been waiting for, pics.

Pictures all taken by, yours truely. smile

Anyway, this is a bit of a goodbye :bye:

I will still be around a bit, popping in every now and then, helping where i can.
And after a quick look around OzHonda, i think its ****. Won't be anything like this.

So everyone, thanks for you help and information when i needed it.

Hope life is treating you good, i know mine is. :give_hear
:bye:

Lol. Nah mate, i wish.

Working very hard, ALOT of saving and sacrificing. And mates rates.

And yes, it goes even better then it looks.

The Injen intake sounds turbo'ish, and is insane when Vtec kicks in yo.

To buy this was a last minute decision, as i mentioned to Paul, it was either this or a 07 Forester and STi spec it over time, but to do that, it would be more expensive then this.

147kw isn't anything to sneeze at. To bad its FWD.

Yeah its enough for me at the moment. Big increase from 2.2 FWD though.

Handling is incredible though.

Mods im looking at doing is upgrading strut braces, coil overs,  and a bit of audio. Its to good to change anything else. :clapping:

Losing it is the biggest concern. I have tamed down alot recently, and due to work, won't have as much time as I would like to drive.

Plus, dad would kill me. :butcher:

Cheers mate.

I don't really understand the whole Vtec yo either, but yet i go along with it. Like think of Mitsubishi, MIVEC just kicked in yo? Just not good at all.

Its as fast as ill be able to go without a turbo. Not even allowed one till at least September next years. NSW restriction laws FTL.

Hi,

Awesome stuff mate. One of the most capable FWD cars through the twisty stuff as well - turbo's don't matter through the really nice turns anyway.

I don't get the whole VTEC Yo thing either, but I don't really care when I'm driving the s2k. People can make all the little calls they want...

Cheers,
Nik

Yeah im going to cop alot of **** in the coming months, im buying an r32 gtst with some pretty hefty mods, as soon as my mother or any mother for that matter hears the word "turbo" they instantly think its a rocket ship. Its going to go under my dads name, rego, insurance etc.. and then im going to get an exemption letter from the rtghey. Hopefullly it will all travel smoothly. And yeah, if i had the money, either a dc2 jdm spec (awesome front lights) would certainly sit in my garage at some stage, either that or an s14 kouki. Good luck with that DC5 man, looks like its pretty hot already.

Exemption ey.

Good luck with it, your going to need ALL the luck you need, i have only ever heard of 1 person getting it and that was for very EXTREME reasons.

My best mate (previous owner of this car) had a Nissan Stagea as his first car, and he thought he could use the reason as 'delivery wagon for his parents business', he had written proof of it and all, and still got rejected.
