Well as well as owning a nice MK5 GTI, i also still have my Integra. It is currently for sale, but if it never sells i won't be TOO annoyed, as it's always been a fantastic car and i think it'd still scare and surprise me if i hopped back in the drivers seat.
I have had the Integra since 2008, i'm the only UK owner of it and its sitting at around 85k miles. It's been tastefully modified to enhance performance as apposed to looks. I have done numerous track days in it, and have also competed in the Scottish Hillclimb championships with it, where i have picked up a few 2nd in class's.
Here are some pics of it a few months back when it was on BC BR Series coilovers, which i have now changed to standard dampers with Eibach Pro-Kit springs

And some pictures of it with the Eibach Pro-Kit on it. I've driven it a few times since fitting them and the handling is much nicer than on the coilovers.

This was the last track day i did in the car, in March 2011. I never managed to get back on track since due to moving house and being busy with work. Plan on getting back again sometime this year in either the Integra or the Golf
And an in car vid from Forrestburn Hillclimb from last year, also
I have plenty more videos, if you look up "runrabbitrunracing" on YouTube you'll find most of my hillclimb videos from last year.
OH, and before the Integra i had 2 of these.......
