depends on your taste. I think they're okay, but that's just because every kid in high school had an integra and it got old. I think speed and FWD are like water and oil, you can mix them, but it's not gonna like it. But I'm biased, I'm a lexus fan, it looks amazine, it's comfortable, reliable, and I don't try and get raced by every 17yo in a honda civic with an intake and exhaust. If you're young and have the speed bug, go for it. You'll probably love that car every day until it comes time to sell it and buy another Lexus!!

...maybe I'm just getting old.

What kind of Integra? ITR? GSR? LS? You can make some decent power with mods but asking the front end to power, steer, and brake is not the perfect recipe. One of the first mods should be a LSD for the tranny - can't remember if Acura had OEM ones for some of their trannies but check out Quaiffe's. They were very reputable when I was in the Honda/Acura camp w/ my Accord hybrid (H22 swap).

I don't like the integra either. I'm not going to say I don't like honda/acura though. Honda/Acura make some really great cars, like the New Accord, S2000, TL, RL, TDX...

But if its what you like, then go for it. Please, just don't put a nasty "fart can" on it. Way to ricer.
