1987 Acura Integra LS review from North America
"Fun to drive, reliable piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, I bought the thing for $600 with 247,000 miles on it. What do you expect.
I had to replace the struts because it kept bottoming out. It still bottoms out but I think I'm going to fix it by having new blocks put in tuesday.
Had to buy new compressor and blower to get the A/C and heat to work.
Replaced all belts including timing belt.
New driver side seat belt and new seats (old one's where ripped really bad).
Every time I fix something in the car something else goes wrong, but it's old so I expect it.
One time the brake lights wouldn't turn off. The battery went dead because I didn't know it, it turns out this little cap that pushed the button to turn off brake lights broke. That only cost $2 though.
General comments?
Well this is my first car... I like it. It drives great but you can tell it's 13 years old. It just keeps on pluggin. I'm going to upgrade it and make it a high performance car and add a cool audio system.
