The previous owner had the engine rebuilt there. Chris at Banzai worked out the bugs after I got it. Still need to take it back to get it tuned on the wideband since I got the 3" exhaust.

No. This is the only car a I have. I did have a white 83 GSl...which I sold to Normality...you saw that one. I showed up one time to Chuck's last year and we whet drifting. Well you guys did I just spun out ...LOL.
An Integra is gonna be alot lighter than any WRX. Acura with turbo is fast. Damn Honda. Lol

That's what weight + being a passenger does to a car. lol Be a passenger in your own car doing 50-55 mph around the same corner and see how much more you can feel it. It should be quite a noticeable difference. Weight, well the heavier something is the more weight is there to be effected by lateral g.

and besides that when you are driving dont forget you are bracing yourself with the steering wheel.

That’s all true, everything is altered when you’re the passenger, when you’re not the one in control all sudden movement of the accelerator and steering is a surprise. You don’t know its coming so the effects are magnified on you due do no preparation. Acceleration seems faster turning feels nore touchy and as Derek king said because you aren’t bracing yourself with the wheel. You also learn to use the oh **** bar

My friend wanted me to feel how quick his mustang was and so I get in the passenger seat and it felt hella fast. He’s like here take the wheel, so we trade I’m expecting amazing rush and insane responsiveness... when in all reality after being the driver of the same car I was passenger in, I was disappointed. also where your at in the car alters things, I’m so use to being the driver of my car but when my dad wants to drive and I’m the passenger I want to hold on for dear life not because he’s a bad driver but because the car is so responsive and you don’t notice until your not the one in control

Having a little bit too much fun, apparently. Big *** backfire, and now barely runs. I changed spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor, changed ignition coils, fuel filters, etc, etc. Still acts the exact same way. I haven't done a compression check on it yet, so there is still a bit of hope for it, but regardless of whether or not it popped, I needed another car, this just gives me the drive to find one faster and rebuild my extra 12a with a street port.

Edit: When I say barely runs, I mean starts then falls on its face.

And then the only thing I've really not done yet is cleaned out the jets in the carb.

Check the igniters.
Pull plugs out and listen to the noise it makes when cranking. Should be similar wooshes. If you don't hear than maybe a seal blew.
