1992 Acura Integra GS-R review from North America
"Who needs a Turbo when you can have VTEC?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Not much. The starter is getting a little picky and the CV joints were replaced last Summer. The stator coil (clutch for the air conditioning) broke its alignment pin, and kept blowing the fuse. Two hours of my time and a grinded screw fixed the problem.
General comments?
The 8000 rpm redline is very addictive. This engine loves to rev. Very little low end torque. Loves to be driven on twisty mountain roads. Should have been sold originally with 15" wheels instead of those 14" wheels.
This car surprises most V8 drivers with its acceleration.
Genuine Honda reliability.
