Bananarama - A British DA Integra

So I went out the other day and took some photos with a mate of mine:

So I have been loving driving the car again, and it seemed I had finally made it reliable. But on the way home from work I blew a driveshaft after driving like an idiot round a corner

Well, half an hour fix and you should be back on the road! With the front end of an Integra being so long I know you probably cringed as the car was being pulled onto the rollback.

Do you have THAT much power that you destroy axles going around corners?

Don't know why but I've always liked the DA integra, this just adds more reasons why

Sorry about the driveshaft :/ Quick question, are those rotas that you are running? Or something else

I think it was to do with the angle of the driveshaft from the car been so low, I doubt 217hp / 154tq is going to shred axles haha.

Thanks man.

You need to see it in real life to appreciate how good the fitment really is.

They are made by a British company called Minilite, they have made them since the early 1960's way before they were copied by Watanabe, Panasport and Rota etc.

Turns out I may have blown my gearbox too, I shall find out tomorrow.

Outstanding DA sir! And those oil pan pics a few pages back...I think I would have shit a brick when it happened!

Looking forward to seeing more!

man - glad to see you back to form! Love this caR!!

Can I send you some rudeboi stance decals? I have some in white.. go well with the wheels.

[DeleriousZ]

Hey man, just wondering if you've got any pics of the wheel clearance on the inside, to the fender and suspension bits?

This is probably my favorite DA out there right now, hell my favorite integra.

So I thought I'd post a update, although a bad one at that.. Excuse the Instagram (@michealis) pics, again I was covered in oil.

So I sourced a replacement gearbox and driveshafts, and got to work with a mate of mine to get it changed on the floor:


Dropped the old box out:


And assessed the damage on the old parts, although not as bad as I first thought:

Shortly after fitting the new box I hit 190k, all seemed well.


Then my old rad blew, so I replaced it with an alloy rad:


Following the new rad, the corrosion on the head came back to haunt me:


So all in all its been a pretty shitty few months when it comes to my Teg.

On the plus side, I recently acquired this:
