Really sad to hear that Stephen (MorningZ) passed away. I remember buying my first car (93 Integra RS) back in 2002 I believe, and at the time being a new driver, I had little to no knowledge of what the Integra was capable of. I fell upon Team Integra (I believe not too long after) and 93-TeG was born. Thanks to Stephen, I made a lot of friends on here (some to which I still talk to today). He brought so much to the site, and although he isn’t with us anymore, our passion will keep this site going. Rest in peace Stephen and thanks for creating the best Integra site to ever exist.

Steve brought me over from our Super Honda days to his home grown site. He invited to his house for Hot Import Nights as a stranger to crash on his couch, and we were friends since. My Integras are long gone, as well as my defunct email address linked TI for account reactivation, but the passion for the cars wasn't our linking bond. Steve never met a stranger and could make anyone feel like family. I distinctly remember the phone call from him when his wife passed, where he was more concerned I would learn of her passing on the Internet than processing his own tragedy. I made it for her funeral, where he stood stoic... stronger than I ever could. This was the last time I saw Steve. I got to talk to Steve before Thanksgiving, for which I'm truly grateful. I knew he wasn't doing well, but listening to him, he couldn't have been better. Steve's optics on life where always positive.
I'm going to truly miss my buddy. I hope that everyone has the opportunity to meet a Steve in their lifetime- an absolute selfless man, an eternal optimist, who has the most positive outlook on life, and would celebrate any success of others. If you ever get to meet a person of this caliber, hold on to them for dear life. If you've never met a Steve, I challenge you to become one. Being a good person is easy.
Rest easy, brother, knowing you impacted more people's lives than you could imagine.

RIP Steve.🙏 Thank you for the many years of unforgettable fun, good times, and memories. Rest easy my friend.
OMG... (jaw drops)
I do not know what to say. I have been lurking back on here because I recently get back into Honda's after 20 years. Heck it's not even an Integra but the fact that I knew good information was here. I looked for the articles but could not find them in this new format. I searched and saw MorningZ post up a response about backwards setting the site so you could link to the articles and another where a member took the time to actually link them all. It was fabulous. Now I fear all will be lost now unless someone already went out of their way to save them all.
I too was an early member from Superhonda. The site would constantly crash and update and we would lose a lot of information. Then Steve started hosting some articles here so we could easily link them once that site was back up again. It got to a point where TI grew beyond hosting the articles and the other site started censoring TI on the references. So everyone jumped ship and came over since it was more informative and laid back here.
I never met Steve personally but I got a vibe that he was a good person. I helped as a moderation but resigned after I got rid of my Integra to focus on life and other things. Last time I really came back on to the site due to curiosity and boredom I think he got married or some other big celebration in his life (sorry I forgot).
I am very sorry to hear of his passing and glad that he brought so many people here together for a common interest, the Integra, which brought information beyond that vehicle btw. I am also just seeing now his wife had passed too and I am sorry I missed that one. On a happier note, I am glad to see a lot of familiar names and I wished we had more time to mingle and really meet each other because I did not have that chance aside from maybe some local people in those days.

They're extremely hard to find to the average or newer user:
Article Index/Table of Content
Hello everyone, so I decided to make this thread because frankly, I don't like how the article page is set up. I also didn't like how blogs are thrown into the page as well. Anyways, it was my goal to create a single page that displayed all articles, instead of just 4 or 5 at a time. Even if no...
www.team-integra.net
I don't know why, but today on a whim, I decided to check out team integra. I don't remember the last time I've been on here and the first post I see was this one.
I live in South Florida and met Steve one time at his place. He gave me a part for my teg that he did not need, free of charge, as well as some awesome t-i stickers for my car. Awesome guy.
This is crushing. Rest in peace Steve (MorningZ), thank you for all you have done. Thank you for all the help that you and this forum have provided to me.

Wow, I hate to hear the news about Steve. Like many others here, I never had the chance to meet him, but that didn't stop him from helping me online a few times. The site he created have provided years of assistance and projects for my Integra. I still poke my head in here every now an again, but still enjoy the content that he helped create and the community he started.
On a side note, reading through all of the comments, its been great to see many of the old names from years ago. Not to mention I had forgotten comply about SuperHonda.
Rest in Peace MorningZ

crazy - I remember meeting him with you guys in Toronto in 2002 or so all those years ago. Was a fun day!
Wow! What a flashback! I feel like I was just saw my Childhood Home again! Who remembers when Steve would announce a new Sponsor!?!? I remember the feeling: We better show up repping TI & Steve!The memories this screenshot brings up...

I too came back to TI after many many years to find the last remaining pictures of my first car and first Teg and crossed this post. This news hit so much deeper than I had thought. TI was so instrumental at such an important time in my life, right as I graduated high school and throughout my first several years in college. I made lifelong friends through this site, learned almost everything I know about cars today and how to work on them, and learned the importance and skills of proper community building that has been so important to my professional career. Steve took a passion and his knowledge and built a wonderful legacy in this community, once that will last along with his memory for a long, long time.
