Your best bet is to ask on Honda Revolutions although there are a few on the s2ki board that have moved from the Integra.

Yes!!

Fantastic car, get a late model as you can and with A/C...thats coming from me who got one of the first officials in the country without A/C!!

Also they can be modded quite easily to whip a std S2000!!

Lovely safe fast handling, noisy and dashboard the Maxpower brigade would die for haha. Only regret I had was never taking mine to the track.

Almost bought one last year. It's one serious hard core car. Closest you'll get to a race car on the road without sacrificing practicality.

ROFLMAO @ San.

They are seriously quick cars with a superb gearbox. No more expensive than running any standard Honda really. When buying just do the normal checks. There was for a while some red ones out there on X plates that had come from Palmer motorsport IIRC that had had the front end resprayed rather poorly!

Owned a red one for just over two years before getting the S2000.

Still miss it, but there's enough of the integra's character in the S2000 to ease the pain.

Absolutely brilliant road and track car, so adjustable and forgiving.

Fit tempered discs and Ferodo DS2500 pads, replace the standard 195/55's with sticky Yoko 195/50 and it'll beat everything on track whilst looking so understated. Incidentally, I have some spare (standard white) wheels free to anybody who want's to collect them. I'm in Norfolk.

Other highlights: Ferrari 550 (Momo) steering wheel, proper Recaro seats (so good I have one in my office to sit on!), plus the ability to swallow a whole mountain bike with the wheels on!!

Haven't owned one, but only ever heard good things. I think they look pretty nice too.
