Hey Wilch, I used to have a 1992 Integra (red naturally) - I thought it was great. What year model was yours?

1990 model. I thought it was great too. Loved her to bits. I could drive that car at 8/10ths on the Old Pacific Highway and still be under or near the speed limit. 2nd gear and reving to 6500rpm. I had modified the stock airbox to have a big pipe going to the front bar, also had an exhaust. So much fun. So many memories with that car too. First date's, first... lots of firsts.

I had about 2 degrees of negative camber in the front, not much at the rear, so that made for a very taily ride if you lifted off mid corner.

It's impossible to drive an s2k or a skyline at 8/10ths on the road. They just go too fast.

The car was immaculate before it got hit by that P plater. Paint was perfect, interior perfect, engine was still good (only 120,000kms), and compression was still even through all cylinders. *sigh*

Ah well. Things had to change I guess .

Reminds me that I got rammed in the rear passenger door (while driving the SSS) by an uninsured-drivingwhilstsuspended-epileptic-dodgy-panel-beater who told me a sob story and conned me into getting it fixed by his mate.... bastard!

mine was a Monte Carlo Blue (or something similar) Nissan 260Z
She was beautiful but had to let her go due to rust

I hope that the S won't have similar problem.

I think it was some boxy old Magna. Then I think I bought the 1988 Ford Laser off my parents.
