    • Hi guys, is there anything in particular I should look out for when selecting a car dealer (other than the price)?

    • Car dealer? You talking about official dealers like Kah Motors, Borneo Motors, C&C etc. or parallel importers?

      If you are thinking of getting a Honda Integra, just go to Kah Motors. At least you have a 3-years/100,000km warranty. Parallel importers are less reliable and if your vehicle breaks down, I doubt they provide warranty for your parallel imported Integra.

      integra?? are u looking at the type s or the type r...

      civic type r uses the integra type r engine..

      kah motors only brought in type s integra last time..

      and now they brought in the 'wrong' type of civic type r... LOL

      If you think about it, other than the S2K, KM seems determined not to bring in the more performance spec-ed cars. I wonder how much the PIs have earned over the years from selling the Integra Type Rs, Accord Euro-Rs, FD2 Civic Type Rs.

      and some more S2K is not like the main stay in the showroom... its available purely on indent basis... LOL

      anyways i dun think its whether KM wants or not.. i think its more of a decision by honda itself...

      mass market cars makes more money, altho' margin thinner. kah motor needs to position itself in a way that makes them most moolah.

      for a start.. if u are a FN2R owner.. i apologise for tt insensitive remark... LOL

      if u r not.. perhaps u cld start by having a look at this video??

      http://youtube.com/watch?v=wQ64UEbm4_o

      looks are subjective i mgith say... but seriously.. this car looks ugly... at least to me...

      and like nightsky has said.. rear torsion beam.. on a track car???

      what is this?? honda trying to short change thier customers???

      for ur info.. civics of old used to have double wish bone all round...

      it doesnt take too much common sense but hardcore enthusiast and discerning buyers wll naturally gravitate towards the FD2R.. nvm its from PI...

      the FD2R is a proper track car... with higher power output to boot... and its no wonder u see more of the jdm R than the uk R on the roads
