    Sorry guys, Ive decided to sell my 3g!

    Yep...its true- but dont worry I will still be around! I plan on using the $ from the sale (Im hoping for around $1000) and adding another $1500 or so and getting myself a nice 5 speed 94+ integra with very little/no rust. Chances are I wont join an integra forum either, lol im sure you guys could help me if I needed it.

    Ive decided to just face it, if i go and stick all this $ into my accord (And I already have a lot in it- Dont we all? haha) with time the rust I do have will continue and be more and more of a problem despite it not being bad at the moment. I just need a better base to work with, something 5 speed thats in good shape.

    I'm totally going to have seller's remorse when its gone but I figure a decent Integra should be well worth it and if anything arnt integras just faster accords w/ different suspension? XD

    My Ad:
    http://greenbay.craigslist.org/cto/1235003356.html

    And dont worry....I'm still going to keep my eyes peeled for a good 5 speed accord LXi hatchback if one ever shows up for sale around me

    Re: Sorry guys, Ive decided to sell my 3g!

    Well I cleaned her out today- removed my amp and sub as well as the wiring. I also put the oem intake parts in the trunk.....shes all ready to go just awaiting some interested peoples.

    If the car sells soon I should have around $3000+ put away within the next 3 months to pick up a good teggy.

    Hope you guys dont mind the change, at least im still stickin with Honda

    Thanks, I prefer the 3rd gen (I think they r 3rd gen haha, then i could call it a 3gee <3) 1994-1999 or w/e the year range is when the circle headlights came out for the first time.

    Ive always liked tegs but sadly I see people riceing the royal shit out of them because they are moderately fast from stock. Oh well, mine will be clean like my current 3g

    EDIT: Yep i was close- 3rd Generation Acura Integra (1994 - 2001) I shall still be a 3g owner just of a different breed

    Id only regret selling her if the integra I get in her place turns out to be shit (but im sure it wont, $3000-$4000ish seems to get a nice clean teg with good mileage):
    http://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/1214675015.html a nice example! id even settle for a non vtec LS one long as the body is straight and clean

    I like you guys too much to go anywhere else, you guys know enough that im sure you could help me w/ the integra if I had any issues hehe.

    I guess only thing is i hope I dont have to de-rice the teggy when I get it in a couple of months like I had to de-rice my 3g (refer to the early posts from my 3g update thread T.T )

    Re: Sorry guys, Ive decided to sell my 3g!

    Or I was wondering would a prelude be a better option? I dont see ANY vids on youtube of people who have gotten their ludes stolen lol. Also are stock preludes faster then stock integra Gsrs?

    Also I did a little checking into the top stolen vehicles in Wisconsin and the integra doesnt even meet that list! I prolly wont have anything to worry about unless i drive it and park it in a known bad neighborhood.

    Re: Sorry guys, Ive decided to sell my 3g!

    i don't remember the trim levels, but the 4g (and i think the 5g too) came with h23 or h22. h22 is performance motor, h23 is base. h22 is vtec, h23 is generally not. h23 vtec was available, but i don't remember if that was stateside or only jdm. as compared to the integra, i'm not sure how much faster they are if any. i would imagine that they could be, even if it wasn't by much. also since lude parts aren't in as high a demand as teg parts and also people generally think the 4g looks of fail and the 5g looks like a whale, they aren't stolen as much. but of course, if you say theft isn't a problem in your area, might help. of course, insurance company might just do data nationally, where the teg is still a pretty commonly stolen car.

    As of today i got some1 interested in the accord. And as far as a rust free teg/lude they seem to be in MUCH better shape, people who have those cars around here know they do not do well in winter period. Almost every teg/lude i see on craiglist (besides the old 4-door tegs which i dont want) have very little to no rust!

    You should come to California, everything rust free, and pick your part is a gold mine, There really is no better place to be IMO.

    Yep, but the feeling of filling in that emptiness with an Integra GSr should make it well worth it.
