The Sentra looks sharper... it's down to what you like, not what everyone else likes...
Oh i know i was going to pick the one that the least people liked! JK! i was mostly wodering if anyone knew anyting about these cars that would be of use or interesting.Originally Posted by IWantAnAudiRS6
The Honda will be much more fun to own and use, in my opinion... they generally are.Originally Posted by The_Canuck
probably,all i know is you take top end of a B16 and graft it on to the bottom end of a B18Originally Posted by The_Canuck
Andreas Preuninger, Manager of Porsche High Performance Cars: "Grandmas can use paddles. They aren't challenging."
Juat reading through C&D, they called the Sentra SE-R "Japan's stirring but plain-faced rendition of a BMW 2002tii"
I like it, personally...
Yeah its growing on me, apparently the engines are very strong (SR20DE) and its easy to raise the horsepower.Originally Posted by IWantAnAudiRS6

Visca Catalunya!
Riiiight, No Alfas here, and i'd be afraid of reliability on an older Alfa too. Thanks thoughOriginally Posted by Ferrer
Maybe not as reliable... but a lot more of character...Originally Posted by The_Canuck

I miss Alfas so much. I grew up in Romania and I kind of grew up with these cars... I'd want an Alfa so much right now :P.
I own a B13, and id never buy that integra, i never new a thing about the b13 i baught untill i joined a nissan club, i found so much about it, and how is one of the best if not best circuit track cars period.
i started getting more excited about my purchase, later i raced few cars just to see how quick this car is, to my amazement with an intake my b13 kept neck and neck with a 2004 vr6 jetta. and it pulled on a volvo 850 turbo hard in 2nd to third, before the driver let off the gas as i was about to bumper win.
i used to get nervous racing tuned hondas, till i out ran almost every honda acura on the street, i still have yet to get owned by a honda. And mind you i still have the stock GA16DE motor, after a $400 to $700 swap i can get the SR20DE or for $800 SR20VE(Vtec motor) with stock 170hp, and with intake exhaust, and little tuning about 210hp easily, if turboed that engine can take up to 600hp.
after beating or staying neck and neck with so many cars on the street i decided to spend money on better suspension and traction, with the very light body, (lighter then a civic hatch) i really don't need more then 120WHP.
it pulls like a 200hp car with only 150hp because it very, extramely light car.
this dosen't mean i can beat 300hp mustangs and so on a straight line, it just shows that the b13 can take on rivals twice as powerful and beat them or keep up with them. with just an intake with its measily 140hp ser version, it can take on cars up to 250hp.

I would go for the Integra!
I have an Integra Type R (1999 type) that I own from new. Up to now I have driven 255.000 kilometers (160.000 miles) and I use it as my every day car. I check the oil and the other fluids regularly and have it serviced at the 10.000 km intervals at my Honda dealer here in Hilversum in Holland.
The only big repairs I has so far:
- Distributionbelt at 100.000 and 200.000 kilometers (regular maintenance)
- Clutch at 180.000 kilometers
- Set of dampers at 200.000 kilometers
- Windshields at 105.000 and 190.000 kilometers
And what about this:
- Exhaust: still the original one
- Brake discs: still the original ones
- Motor: just the regular maintenance
- Gearbox: just the regular maintenance
- Limited slip differential: nothing so far
- Suspension: nothing so far
- Airconditioning: nothing so far
Roadholding is great and the engine is lovely. I regularly use the 195 horsepower but only when the oil is warm, just like in my Alfa Romeo's.
Do I have to say more?
41-DX-JP is my car, photographed with a sister car in Holland.
