1988 Acura Integra RS review from North America
"Worth what you pay for it, but could be better"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Clutch went out, bad driving by me.
Glove compartment latch broke, fixed.
Radio stolen, no alarm.
Driver side window can't hold its own weight, slides down after a few hours.
Sunroof leaks after rain.
General comments?
Quick little car.
Good acceleration, but high rotations.
Clutch strong after replacement.
I am going to replace the 1.6L engine with a used Honda Accord 2.3L engine with a turbo. That should add a little speed to it. Also a bodykit is going to be added, buy at www.body-kits.com. Have painted the car a metallic blue. Looks 100 times better now.
