1993 Acura Integra RS review from North America
"You get what you see"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission was out when I bought it.
Driver Axle was busted due to aftermarket lowering coils.
Radiator fan went out at 325,000km.
Radiator cracked around 333,000km.
Both axles were messed up again, around 335,000 and replaced.
Distributer shot around 336,000km, also front shocks replaced, along with brakes.
Seats are worn out, No cup holder, Driver door doesn't shut smoothly.
General comments?
The car is really quick, I have taken out an Auto Porche Boxter, Pulled ahead from a 02 Pontiac Firebird, Dusted many Hondas (even the last Generation Preludes, mostly the automatic ones) to add to the list, I've also taken out an Automatic RX8. Ofcourse you would have to add perfomance parts, like a lightened flywheel, racing clutch, Headers, Street rubber, and sparkplugs to get the same results.
I drive a burgandy 4 door RS, The color hasn't faded yet, some rust. The style hasn't gotten that old yet. It sits on 17's, but I raised it a little to avoid breakin my axles again. The stereo is an aftermarket Kenwood MP3 WMA, all the factory speakers replaced. and the windows are all heavily tinted.
If your planning to buy one of these rides, make sure you do a good inspection on it or you'll regret paying to put the car back together.
