The original owner took great care...
New timing belt at 98 000km.
New performance exhaust at 154 000 (i don't know if the stock exhaust rusted, but it most likely did)
I dropped new alternator and battery in at 215 000 km.
New clutch too 220 000.
My car looks great, tinted windows, stock rims, looks only five years old and it is almost 13.
This car at stock is too fast for the everyday driver. It is very light, extremely fast, and handles very well especially while in turns.
It does not on the other hand warn of impending danger and once at high speeds can be a lot to handle if something sketchy comes up.
It is not safe at all, it will crunch and impede the driver's room to survive.
Great fast car, but buy a big safe truck.
The car is pretty quick for stock, a few bucks will make it faster.
I've put 400000 miles on 3 different Integra's. A 1987 we had for a while. Then traded it for for an 88 that we had to put to rest after 270,000 miles due to rust, but I still use for parts. Purchased a rust free 90 GS 4 years ago for $2700 I use for my 150 mile round trip commute to work. It was a salvage car, but could'nt pass it up. They are dogs as far as power. The 88 Integra was the best car I've ever owned. Wish I had another one brand new. Sold an 86 Buick Grand National not long after I bought it. Also currently own since new a 94 Z28 6 speed with 165000 miles, lots of engine work done myself. 340 rear wheel HP,
and actually no problems at all with the car. But still not as fun to drive hard as the 88.
