I drove it for 2 weeks like that. As you say, loud as hell.

I miss my Integra. It was better to me in terms of maintenance then my bloody Audi. Exactly why I'm trading in that pile for the FR-S.

lol that's funny as hell. I hit a pothole and it completely bent backwards from the cat back. i think i'm slightly def in one ear from it lol. Maintenance wise its easy as hell to work on. Iv had it for 4 years now and i am gonna miss it a little when it gone.

Damn, that's a SERIOUS Camry! I've seen a couple quick-looking Camrys like that before. One with a big-turbo 3SGTE swap in orange comes to mind.

hahahahaha thanks yeah i had a LOT of cash in that car. started on it when i was 16 and put every dime i earned on custom one off parts for it. I was a idiot! lol

but I loved that car and did every bit of the engine work, paint, trans work, everything, myself! so it was the best learning experience!

I am proud of it though, as weird as that sounds. It has 140,000 miles and it looks beautiful cosmetically, the interior is clean as can be, and the engine runs like a top. Really can't justify getting rid of it so hopefully I can give it back to my parents.

Here's the most recent picture I have...middle of a brake job, threw on some brembo OE rotors and HAWK HPS pads. Note the ultra gangster tint

When the weather's looking nice though.....

Where do you live? Washington? (I'm just interested in the background)

Seems like a lot of people wanting this car have either a Toyota or Honda...

I've had rust issues with my 2000 integra as well. I've had it 9 years now with 139k on it. Pieces of the exhaust keep rusting off. Really not any issues outside of rust. Never anything major mechanically. Here is mine http://i.imgur.com/QJzQn.jpg. I will miss the hell out of it when I decide to get another car. If I decide to buy an FR-S, this will be what I trade in on it. I'm still nervous about owning a rwd dd in a snow belt. But the FRS is imo a rwd version of a integra, something that interests me greatly.

Hope to be selling/trading in my 2001 EBP Honda Prelude with about 145k on it in the near future

No, but it was probably in the garage a lot. Had several periods with company cars, several periods where the public transit was the right answer. So it was just there for me when I wanted to drive it! One year, I remember putting on like 35-40,000 Km. when I had to use it for company business!

Never in a million years would I have expected to keep it that long!

99 Toyota Avalon. 230k miles. Original Engine and Trans. No problems whatsoever.

Not as old as some, but it's got some miles!

Lot of older cars here. I've got a 2000 Mazda 626 with 113k miles on it. Recently had to do some repairs on it because it had a massive vacuum leak, but it's all good now. It has a short in the radio and a blown (or semi-blown) speaker that makes it so if you turn it higher than 3 clicks on volume it crackles, and the drive side lock screeches when you lock it. But that's just some interior minor issues. The outside looks pretty good, some dings or scratches, maybe some damage to the front bumper (got backed into at a drive-thru).

It's a great car, I'm going to miss it a lot, but it's time for an upgrade. I've always wanted a sportier car.
