1996 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"This integra hauls A$$"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Great car to own I would recommend anyone looking for a car to get this one. I been having it for several years and nothing has gone wrong.
I am a mechanic so costs for tuning the car monthly is free.
Aftermarket parts for this car is also great.
Currently installed on the car is a full cat-back muffler, oil changed every 3000mi, air intake system, Enkei 17" rims, also converted from automatic to 5 speed manual and a soon: Integra Type R head swap.
The only thing that cost me was the Integra Type R head swap which will set me back: $900 both for installation and the motor.
After doing this the car will run 11's on the quarter mile w/o Nos or Turbo.
Those will be added later.
General comments?
About the drivetrain and handles... it handles like a knife through butter.
It'll accelerate 0-60 in about 5 seconds.
Seats are very comfortable. I did a drive from North Carolina to Florida which normally takes about 12hrs I managed to do 120mph the whole time in less the 9hrs.
Even though it's an automatic it still takes on the baddest street tunerz.
