1994 Acura Integra GS-R review from North America
"Quick, economical, reliable, amusing car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Exhaust A-pipe was cracked and rattled from 3100-3500RPM. Fixed by replacing the entire header/A-pipe with a DC Sports ceramic coated one-piece header.
Power antenna doesn't go all the way up.
General comments?
Considering that my 4 door weighs over 2700lbs, the minimal torque from the 1.8L is barely adequate for driving around town. Get it on the open highway and then it feels right at home.
Fortunately, the minimal torque goes hand in hand with good gas mileage.
Handling is decent for FWD, but it's nothing like my old 240SX.
