    I absolutely love Integras and yours is no exception. My dad used to have a 4 door hatch with some intake and exhaust mods. It sounded wonderful. Not that fast, but I shifted your style in the car. My dad drove and I shifted on the right. Great times.

    it's nice to see dad finally getting some results for his hard work.
    Mate, great car and the right colour too...I can expect to see it on the track at Queensland Raceway anytime soon? And hang on to the bike, you'll kick yourself forever if you let it go..

    not soon eventually but not soon as for the bike well none of us have bike licenses so if someone makes a good offer we'll sell it

    Seems like the simple solution would be to spend a couple hours googling around to find out what you really have there and then go get a motorcycle license.
    I'm going to eat breakfast. And then I'm going to change the world.

    Nice car mate! the porsche-feeling is really amazing.. Your dad will most likely own a porsche now for the rest of his driving life.. if you have bought one... there is no way back

    On the question on switching from LHD to RHD and opposite, it's no problem at all.. My racecar has rhd and my roadcar lhd..

    To swich driving side of the road is a bit harder though

    i couldn't find any specific information, just some model information... found a few manuals though should make restoration easier

    If i wasn't stuck out west I would try to get a bike licence and steal the bike off you! Seems fair to me, you get the Integra lol
    most of my friends that know about the porsche have shotgunned rides in it, I haven't even had a ride yet!

    Yeah, keeping it stock is a good choice. My dad had to get rid of the Integra though (the last owner didn't keep it as well as you did and it had a rusted chassis). He threw it out and got a 93 Civic Si hatch (with some minor mods- short throw shifter, stiff suspension). It's been running fine since and I still shift for my dad.
