Distributor went out shortly after purchase. Overheating problems. Clutch problems along with transmission. CV joints. I think the engine has just about had all the abuse it can handle.
I got this car as a Graduation gift from my Parents. A boy racer dream car. Toys R Us should sell these.
V-tech engine is willing and screams to redline, but the car is too flimsy to take any kind of real abuse.
GT car wanna be. Underneath it all a sporty looking Accord.
I'll take my Porsche to the track and let mom use the V-tech to get the groceries.
If you were looking for a fast acura you should have looked for a type are put about 5k into these cars and you will be smoking most cars on the road.
You went from a Porsche to an Integra (a graduation gift car that was lesser than your previous)? No wonder you were disappointed.
Integs can be made to be quik with 5k bt not fast. 5k in work and you will be matching mustang gts. But what I love about these cars is that they never die and they have excelent handeling. Integras are not drag cars, they are meant for fun daily driving. If you want a race car go with a 300zx, vette, supra ect. better have the cash to maintain though they are not cheap:)
Is there an actual Integra V-Tech motor? Please let me know if possible.
It seems to me that you aren't very happy with a gift that you didn't even have to pay for. Maybe if you had to work for it you might think about it differently.
It's actually built on the civic frame not the accord.
Are you saying that you have a V-tech phone in ur car. Dude take a look at your car, you will find out that it's a vtec. And hey integras are not suppose to be race cars. Its not even rated as sport coupe, it's a high end compact car.
Another case of some kid ruining a perfectly good Honda product by trying to turn it into a drag racer.
It's so sad. It makes it increasingly difficult for people like me who are looking for a reliable older Honda to use the way they were meant to be used - as reliable, economical transportation.
Seriously. This is supposed to be a commuter car with a little bit of a fun to drive sporty edge. It's not for racing. Sigh.
