hey guys the Ti has been great to me but for some reason ive been starting to lose love for it...i dont know maybe its because ive moded it so much theres not much left i want to start over or i just want a new car. i dont know what it is but i want that fire to be rekindled!

I don't know. I drive my E30 everyday and the ti sometimes on the weekend.
I had it on the track last weekend and it still gives me grins.

hmm i dont know i think its because its been giving tiny problems that has been very costly. and i know i havnt done that many performance mods(intake, exhaust and chip) but thats never what my goals are in a car. i just make them look the way iwant them to look and handle the way i want them to handle. I guess i miss the honda passion i used to have and just want to have a honda again

With a Honda and almost and Japanese car, all you need to do is put in gas.
My brakes lasted 180,000 miles. Never changed anything on the suspension.
My Mazda MX6 never handled like my ti even with 225,000 miles.

I guess I had the wrong kind of Honda.. My integra GSR was always needing something done to it.. I seem to remember that every 15k miles it needed a valve adjustment...

I've not driven the Ti at all recently and I'm really jones'ing to... New CPS should be here tomorrow... Should only take an hour or two to install that.. Then I should be good to go, or it goes to the mechanic...

I can't wait for the next time I get to take it to the track... I should have the sunroof and new door panels made up before then.. Also making a custom panel to fill in the radio hole and put the window switches in that spot...

I still love mine, but I will admit that it is a money pit at this point as there are still a lot of regular wear and tear maintenance items that I've had to replace... Once that is done, time for new tires, brake pads, and front rotors... My garage is starting to look like a car parts store. But honestly, I can't complain. 140k miles and almost 20 track days later and it still runs like a champ. I'm really curious how long this motor will go before it gives up the ghost..

after you drive a integra type R or a turbo RSX type S you'll know what honda passion is.......true our cars are fun and all but take a TI go against half my family's hondas they'll make you cry..

Define "go against." On what sort of track are you comparing them? E.g., autocross? Straight-line drag racing? etc.

[marleymon]

Nah I don't cry over fwd hondas and I've driven many.....to me it's: dime a dozen vs. unique.

I'd drive an mdx or an RL though. But for the money....4 banger ti ftw.

i dont know ....by the track i meant drag or a circuit. My cousins turbo type S has full race coil overs and that thing just flys through the track. he hits 11.8 at the quarter mile and chases modded porsches in the tracks. my friends integra type R hits 13.7 at the quarter mile and also does great on the circuit. i dont know the hondas ive sat in and seen just amaze the living hell out of me. i mean i love the Ti now that i upgraded the suspension and get some minor things fixed but still its a high maintenance car. Oh RL is just sex! but no ive always LOVED the honda s2000 those things are a joy to drive!
