What a wreck. Every car I have purchased has lasted 100,000 miles with no problem. This car is constantly in the shop. I thought Acura was a quality brand. I will stick with American.
Ya I have no clue what went wrong with your car, but either you did not take care of it, you beat it, or you just got a mistake car from the factory because I have never heard of so many things going wrong with an Integra with less than 100k miles. I have 192K on my 87 Integra and the only thing currently wrong with it is that the clutch is starting to slip. I bought it with 184k for 1000 dollars the most expensive repair was the muffler which was 200 and really did not even need to be done it was just annoying how loud it was. Besides that the cost of an oil change is all I have put into it every 3 months. my good friend owns a 1995 integra ls 4 door with 105k miles on it and nothing is wrong with it so I'm sorry for your loss, but please don't compare this car to a ford escort because that's just not right.
Another thing is how much did you pay? If you bought it for 500 dollars, then you got what you deserve. Cheap and fast cars are not that great. Great cars are not that cheap, and fast cars aren't cheap either. Next time think before you pay 500 dollars or so for a car, you could be buying someone else's problem.
Maybe you should learn to take care of your cars. I have several friends who run their Integra's very hard, and they also take care of the regular maintenance, and the cars still run great. Had one myself that I drove incredibly hard because I was trying to see if I could blow it up or destroy it (it was wrecked and I got it for free, otherwise I would have cared for it), and I still couldn't blow it up. So good job on beating up a great car and then complaining about it, take care of your car, and it will take care of you.
Rear calipers and drums??? which is it? no rear drums on a vehicle equipped with four wheel disk breaks. You must be talking about your Ford Escort.
The problem is usually found between the wobbling seat and the steering wheel. It's a common problem in North America.
No point recharging you're a/c if you've got a leak.
I have a 95 integra and I absolutely love it!! I had a sunfire before and I had problem after problem, it was a 98. The only problem I have had with my integra in the past 2 years is a flat tire, and that's not the cars fault.
However, my car is starting to rust quit a bit, how do I fix this problem??? Anyone??
It depends on where it is rusting look at teamintegra.net they'll tell you how do just about anything on that site... usually if its rusting around the trunk area you need to re-silicone the tail light.
