Main oil seal exploded.
The door panels and glove box have started rattling. But nothing the CD player can't drown out.
One of the right headlights support thingy broke and it sort of jiggles.
The original owner messed up the power window switches, because the passenger can roll his/her window down and not up. And now the switch is sticking, so you have to mess with it before it works sometimes.
Sometimes it wouldn't go into gear, and the only way it would is if you turn her off and put her in gear. Then when you start her, she jumped forward. But it was only the linkage.
This car looks nice as hell, well, after you put aftermarket body parts on it. (I think the front bumper isn't low enough.)
It's pretty fast for weighing 3,000 lbs.
The performance you get from this beast is amazing! The H22A is one tough cookie. It sounds amazing even without an aftermarket exhaust. I suggest putting one on and a cold air intake. Have someone drive next to you on a freeway and drop a gear and floor it, they'll hear your CAI sucking in so much air it sounds like a turbo. (if you have a good one.)
The handling on these cars off the lot is AMAZING. Add a couple of sway bars, struts, and coil-overs and you're turning 30 mph corners at 50. (I don't advise you to drive like me) But it's made for performance, or it wouldn't come with a VTEC motor.
The only people I don't recommend getting this are people who live in tiny hick towns where jealous rednecks will kick the uni-body, so you spend massive amounts of money popping it out.
I own a 98 Type S and I live in a hick town. Do you think I'd let anyone kick my car?
