Hey all, I got sent over here from MNHondas. I live in Rochester, Minnesota and I drive a 1994 Acura Integra LS Turbo. Don't be confused or start bashing, I'm a huge DSM fan. I came over here to gain some more knowledge on these cars in case I make the switch over from a Honda to a DSM. If you want a pic of my Integra I can post one up, unless you guys don't care haha. So, yea, hi n shiat.

Welcome. We've all had a Honda at some point. I just sold my last one.

True that, I've had a few of them until i bought my first DSM. Im actually considering buying another one here soon if i can get the right deal...

Welcome to the board, There are a lot of knowledgeable people on here as well as some good comedy relief..

I bought the Teggy how it sits with the intentions of modifying it more myself. I'll get more pics tomorrow but here's one for now..

There is a 1992 Eagle Talon non-turbo at my friend's towing business, I need to re-install cams and rockers and crap like that but it has a brand new head. He said he would sell it to me for like $700. I thought about it but I just think that's too much for a non-turbo.

Hmm, thinking of coming over to the dark side? It's a decision that I would weigh heavily if I were you. haha

My buddy had a turbo LS, he was a dsm hater, thought he was the shit with his turbo LS and would race anyone (got his ass handed to him by me numerous times), He got it tuned and was super excited to see what it put down, it put down 186 hp. I laughed so hard for about an hour. Then i got a call that it was stolen from the parking lot of the resturant he was eating at after the dyno tune. They found it a couple days later stripped of its motor and wd40 everywhere to erase prints. Messed up but thats california for you. They said there wasnt even any signs of a break in, he found out that his year honda (to cut costs) only made 4 master keys, so if you have a teg ls of that year (i think it was a 1990), you had a 1 in 4 chance of having the key to someone elses car, have 4 different keys and you can open any one of that year.

I had a 2000 GSR with a turbonetics kit on it. Wasn't fast or anything, but it was sure fun to roll around in! Welcome to the site!
