1990 Acura Integra GS review from North America

"Yes, but there are a few thing that are easy to do that can add performance and engine life"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

When I first got the car I had all 4 wheels aligned. (100,000 miles)

The thermostat went bad soon after. (The vehicle would never warm up in very cold weather.) (115,000 miles)

I purchased rims and performance tires. (120,000 miles)

I changed the spark plugs to Bosch +4. (125,000 miles)

The brakes were sufficient, but wearing out so, I replaced them with carbon metallic on all 4 wheels. (125,000 miles).

I also noticed under moderate to hard braking the wheel would shake meaning the brake disks in the front were warped, but not warn out. I changed them with cross drilled rotors. (125,000 miles)

At about 130,000 miles the shocks went bad.

At about 150,000 miles the exhaust was rusted through.

I changed the fuel filter at about 175,000 miles.

I also changed the timing belt at 175,000.

General comments?

I have had no major engine problems since buying the car. (No Joke)

The clutch still holds good grip even at over 210,000 miles.

I installed a RAM air intake which added 2-3 miles per gallon.

If you are planning on changing the exhaust after it goes bad I recommend buying a cat-back all stainless steel exhaust.

The interior after 13 years is near perfect.

The paint job is great with a few minor glitches.
