1989 Honda Integra SXi review from Australia and New Zealand
"A sweet deal for people looking for a cheap thrill"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The fuel lines failed after about 10,000km, but that was from the previous owner.
Close ratio gears can become quite annoying on long trips, when traveling at speeds 100+.
General comments?
I have lowered the car since owning as well as replacing the alloys with 16x50x205 and makes the car fly around the corners of the race tracks.
The car does not respond very well to modifications since it has been quite highly tuned from factory.
With a large K&N filter, 2in exhaust and several tweaks to the standard ecu the car is producing around 100hp at the wheels which is quite good for a N/A 1.6 liter engine.
It also sounds beautiful on 98 Ron gas while at high revs.
