The only thing that was really wrong with the car when I got it was that the front brake pads were really worn down, with the pin rubbing, so I just replaced them. No other problems yet anyhow.
The short shifter moves great, the car turns on a dime, very sexy body, even more when lowered, I threw on 17' inch montegi wheels, intake, apexi n1 exhaust, wires, skunk 2 coilovers, front & back mugen strut bars, this car handles excellent, I just need a gsr head now. too bad the type r" was not in my price range.
On the comment on making an LSr no such thing it's called a LS/vtec and you can use any heas of a civic vtec or type r.
I would really like to see a picture of your car. I own a 1997 Acura Integra LS 4 door, it is bright orange with a body kit. I'm still working on rims, might have some now. If you would send me a picture I would appreciate it.
