    I'm looking to sell my 91 Integra GS, 80K, great condition, except for driver's seat, which has a rip that needs repairing. Anyone in DC area know of a good place to get that done? I'd rather not replace the seat.

    Hi guys, i just bought a 93 manual RS which
    apparently has ZERO problems. I replaced
    the front boots because they were broken,
    changed the oil, added lots of fluids around,
    changed the tires and right now it runs great++.
    The car has almost 80k miles on it. Still there
    are several things:

    1. if the timing belt is to be changed at 90k
    (as written in the manual) and i don't have
    any more resources to do it right now, can
    something bad happen if it breaks ? (right
    now the car has 80k)

    2. one front secondary headlight bulb is out
    and it seems to be a big thing to change it
    because apparently i have to pull out the
    entire front cover etc etc just to get to the
    bottom screws for the headlights. anyone
    knows how to do this easier ?

    3. any experiences with unchanged clutch at 80k ?
    it feels ok but makes a little noise when
    the stick is on parking and i release the
    pedal ... any advice ?

    4. would you recommend to install alarm on it ?
    i heard many stories about alarm circuit
    installment messing around with the normal
    circuitry and that noone actually gets it
    right on the G2's ... is this true ?

    5. on the engine there is a small, round,
    plastic cover which leaks a little bit of
    oil ... just a little bit but i haven't found
    that part in any part store. should i go to
    the acura dealer or does anyone have any
    solution ?

    thanx allot.
    please email sion@cs.purdue.edu

    Congrats!
    Now make sure you break in the engine properly. No trips to redline for the first 1K mi! Just shift 1st,2nd & 3d around 4-4,500rpm. Then after 1k mi. increase the RPMs but gradually. Don't go straight to 8100..

    I 'd recommend to take it in to your mechanic to have the oil leak checked and maybe get the headlight bulb replaced there too.
    If your timing belt goes it will damage the valves! Get the timing belt replaced around 90K.
    An alarm won't help if thieves want your car bad enough..

    to any prospective integra buyers out there, please don't get the auto transmission. the only trim i would consider is the gs-r. i wish i had known better two years ago...i hear acura has improved the auto transmission for '00 (a little late for that, huh?), but i am skeptical of what an "improvement" means to them (i have a '98 ls).
    it's a fun car overall; however, i would be more than happy to find it gone tomorrow morning. just my .02 and wishful thinking...
  • robertsmxrobertsmx Member Posts: 5,525
    what does your post mean?
  • ejc1ejc1 Member Posts: 2
    sorry, did that seem incoherent? yeah, it was late, i was rambling. i just don't think the integra was made to be driven automatically; everytime i drive i feel like it's missing something. it lags and doesn't pull when you need it most (i.e. merging onto freeway). i was naive - just bought it for looks and convenience. wish i had a gearhead friend to car shop with back then!
  • jalper12jalper12 Member Posts: 8
    hmm, I was a bad boy and wasn't entirely nice. only really got it into high rpms a few times in the first 1k tho, and never higher than 7k. fortunately I had an 800mile roundtrip this past weekend so that took care of the breaking in!

    hey here's a quick question.. if I replace the stereo, will the new stereo still control the power antenna? I really have no idea how those work.. anything else I need to be careful about?
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    Well we always advise against automatic Integras on this board. Takes away about 1 sec. from the acceleration to 60mph and a little more to the 1/4mi.
    On the other hand I would not limit everyone to the GSR. An LS with 5-sp is a very good performer. It's also 70lbs lighter than a GSR.
    It has the same torque as the GSR and it pulls well in all 5 gears up to 125mph (my brother had a '95 LS manual). Although it's not as fast as a GSR, a 5-sp. LS is not slow at all and it actually gets your adrenaline going when redlining 1st,2nd & 3d. With two 6'2 200lb adults in it, my brother's 95 LS pulled very well and had good passing power.
    I have been in an automatic Integra once and I know what you mean. I was disgusted with the amount of power that was wasted by the automatic tranny. The only thing we can do to help now is discourage people from getting automatics unless they don't care at all and the car is only basic transportation to them.

    My wife's 1990 GS needs the a/c recharged. Dealer can no longer recharge with R12 freon and recommends conversion to R22 (?). I have that converting to the NEW freon does not work well with the old compressors. Has antone had this done? Does the a/c still work as well? Is it still possible to get a R12 recharge anywhere besides a third world country? (they were exempt from the R12 ban)
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    Maybe the conversion they want to do is to replace your old compressor? What does this conversion involve??
    Dealers always give you a 12mo/12Kmi. warranty. Make sure the warranty includes the A/C working properly and as good as before. Ask them if they 've done this before in other g2 Integras. Call another Acura dealer as well. Don't tell him the other dealer said to go with R22.. Just ask some questions and how the new Freon works with the old compressors to see what they say. Also call a Honda/Acura independent shop/specialist and get their opinion as well as pricing.. You might save yourself some money if you go with an independent import shop.

    Ok, granted an automatic is inferior to a stick, BUT I've been looking for a new car and I pretty much have to have an automatic. I've got bad knees. I used to have a stick and after any moderately long period of driving, my left knee would be killing me. SO, my question is this:
    If you had to have an automatic, is the Integra really that bad? Or is it just bad compared to a stick?

    Also, is insurance on an integra high? I kind of got that idea reading some of the past messages. Or was it just high for that guy because his driving record stunk or something?

    Thanks

    acura is made by honda as you well know. hondas automatic trans is not that great. as a matter of fact it sucks. it was hondas mistake. you wont get the gas milage, performace, or reliabiliy out of an auto but you will still get a better car than other domestics and imports. i personally prefer a stick to an automatic but if you absolutly must have an auto, the integra isnt a bad choice. yes it is true that the integras insurance is slightly higher only because it is considered a luxury car. if you want to get the same quality without all the "toys" and the hi price tag then go with the honda civic. its the same platform as the integra with a slighly smaller engine and better gas milege. also the insurance isnt to high on the civic. you can get all kinds of discounts on your insurance with a civic
  • robertsmxrobertsmx Member Posts: 5,525
    Availability of both shouldn't bother anybody. Not everybody wants to keep shifting, unless they really enjoy the car. I love manual tranny, will take one over auto any day (and somehow convinced my wife to get Prelude 5-speed as our second car, good for me, she doesn't drive it!), but there are times when I wish I just had less work to do, especially pulling around on I-635 in Dallas area, any time of the day, thats when automatics work.
    It is just preference, that some people compromise performance and control and get auto tranny because they liked the car!

    hi i am 16 and looking at used 95' 96 integras with under 50k on them. i am leaning toward the se or gs-r and i m def not getting an automatic any advise on the se or gs-r would be great and also the over all opinio of the integra

    I just bought an Accord SE a month ago and I love the car, only prob is that a new driver (my sis) will be using the car soon so I need another car. Anyone know when the new Integras are coming out? I'd also like to know its base engine hp and its price.
    thanks
  • titopuentetitopuente Member Posts: 46
    I would go for the GSR.
    It has the 170 hp Vtec only comes in manual tranny, it'll be a rocket, its also a chock full of options...leather, cd, spoiler, alloys, 4 wheel discs abs...the list goes on.
    test drive them and see how you like them.
    Young'ns like us like the faster cars in this case its the GSR
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    titopuente is right but the '95-96 GSR's did not come with leather. Leather became standard in '99 GSR models.
    A '95-96 SE (special edition) also came with everything the GSR did except for the engine. It did come with a spoiler, alloys, sunroff, 4wheel disc brakes and if I 'm not mistaken ABS as well. So an SE should have everything the GSR has except for the 170hp (B18C1) engine. It has 140hp (B18B motor) and almost the same torque as the GSR (127 vs 128). Get the GSR if you can afford it. If you can't the SE in 5-sp flavor is still a decent performer :-)

    The '01 Integra many say is not coming out till early '02 (March-Apr). Honda/Acura are always very secretive about new models and specs but Japanese magazines have posted that reliable sources have informed them that there will only be 1 Integra model with 217hp - price unknown.
    Again this is all rumors but not far fetched at all. We do know that they always increase HP & torque with every generation so providing that the Integra Type-R has 195hp, 217 is probably about right. They also say that the new Integra will have all the Type-R trimmings (heavy duty sports suspension, brakes, etc) but it may carry the Honda badge! The downside to that is that the warranty may go down to 3yr/36K mi. and having to deal with crappy Honda dealerships instead of nice customer oriented Acura ones.
    I own both a Honda Civic and an Acura Integra GSR and there is a world of difference between the dealerships. If I even think I 'm hearing a noise or something on my Acura and bring it in for them to check out, and they give me another car to go to work with! even though they only want to keep the car for an 1hr or 2 and it doesn't have to stay overnight! Plus you get the free roadside assistance with Acura so lets hope that rumor about the re-badging is not true :-)

    Help!

    I need a reply as soon as possible.

    I was able to negotiate the price of a 2000 Acura
    GS-R Coupe for exactly $20,000 (includes
    destination charge, but does not include tax and
    license) which includes the following accessories:

    Theft Deterrent System
    Floormats
    Full Nose Mask
    Splash Guards
    Wheel Locks
    Moonroof Visor

    Does anyone think this is a good price? The
    dealer invoice price on this vehicle is $20,014 but
    there is a $1,500 factory incentive on this car.

    Thanks,
    Joseph
  • cuadancuadan Member Posts: 13
    Joseph,
    20k is a good price for a GSR.
    MSRP is around 22.5k, and you are aware of the dealer incentive, which is good at lowering your price, however, there might still be more room to negotiate.
    carsdirect.com will sell a GSR at 19,989 or something like that, but with the options you have, you're probably getting a better deal with your dealer. The security system itself is listed by the manufacturer at around $500 so at your listed price, you're pretty much got the cheapest deal around. You might get them lower by telling them that you know they're redesigning Integra for 01' and this is a old (since 94') model etc...you get the point.
    for reference: your car setup at acura.com would cost 23.9K. I'd buy it if I were you.
  • cuadancuadan Member Posts: 13
    Hey Joseph,
    Just curious :Where do you live? I wonder if they're going for that price in my area.
  • cmuboycmuboy Member Posts: 2
    Thanks for all your replies. I actually went to another dealership and got the car for about $275 HIGHER. The reason I did this was that 1) this dealership is local to where I live 2) the car that they have there is just right off the truck and everything is still "shrink-wrapped".

    The first dealership I went to was Serramonte Acura in Daly City, CA. If you are considering getting an Acura GS-R and are living close to the area, go take a look. Mike is the Sales Manager. Tell him that Joseph sent you. (He remembers me as he had a hard time with me. :) If you spend enough time there, you will eventually get a good deal like I did.
    I eventually got the car from Oakland Acura in Oakland, CA. This dealership is much closer to where I live and the car has never been test driven before by customers (it has only 12 miles on the odometer). I did pay $275 higher on the car though. My final cost was $22,300 OTD which included tax + license.

    I will be picking the car up this Friday.

    I'm searching for a new car, and I think I have it narrowed down to Integra, Jetta, and perhaps another Civic. I keep reading about how the Integra is outdated, but how does it handle? What kind of repairs does it need? Is it reliable? Is it safe? I'm sick of reading reviews and need some info form actual users.
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    Integras handle great and are very agile. Better than a Jetta. Why don't you go take a test drive? The GSR hanldes a little better than the LS or GS models because it has a front upper strut bar to lessen body flex at the front.
    With some inexpensive suspension upgrades (thicker rear sway bar) they handle awesomely.
    The 're pretty reliable and safe. I recommend you look at a 5-sp. because it's faster than the auto and more fun to drive.
    The new Jetta 1.8T (turbo) should be fun to drive as well but uses Premium gasoline like the Integra GSR. The Integra LS/GS take regular gas.
    I really enjoy driving my '99 GSR and look forward to it all the time. I 've only driven old Jettas from the late '80s and early '90s so I can't vouche for the new ones. I know they 're not as reliable as Honda/Acuras though because my friend was going through water pumps, starters, and all kinds of parts every other month with his Jetta until he finally sold it with 80K mi. 80K mi. is nothing for a Honda or Acura and they can go easily to 150K with no repairs. My Civic has 96k mi. on it now and so far so good.

    I have an integra right now.
    I just wonder. What is the difference
    between acura and honda in terms of parts
    and quality. i realize guys that most of us have
    also an acura around so the replies might be
    really subjective. But seriously, what's the
    difference ? To me, the integra '93 looks
    pretty much like a current civic in terms of
    shape and it also drives better. Are the honda
    models always some years "behind" the acura
    models ? also i heard that the new integras
    will bear the honda tag. any info on that ?

    enjoy.
    email also appreciated at sion@cs.purdue.edu
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    Although Acura is made by Honda the majority of the parts in an Integra and a Civic are different.
    The engines are totally different as well as most of the suspension and braking systems. Rack & pinion power steering system in the Integras is totally different than the Civics and much better. Everything in the Integra is heavy duty and the parts are more performance oriented than the Civic's. Even the radiators & hoses are different (also GSR's radiator is bigger than LS/GS as well as many other parts..). Coil spring rates are higher in the Integra and the shocks are different for better handling. Exhaust is entirely different as well and the muffler in a G3 Integra is almost 50% larger than a Civic's (I own a '97 Civic). They share very few parts which makes sense because I wouldn't want many of the parts from a 106hp Civic for my 170hp Integra.

    This is the only topic I see you active around! How are you doing?
  • alang71alang71 Member Posts: 1
    I recently purchased a new 99 Integra LS (Automatic Trans). I have been getting around 260 miles per fillup before the gas light goes on. Is this low? I though it would get better gas milage.
  • robertsmxrobertsmx Member Posts: 5,525
    Usually "light" will be on with about 3-3.5 gallon remaining in the tank (in Hondas/Acuras). How many gallons to go to 260 miles?
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    Sounds about normal but it all depends on your driving habits. If you 're heavy on the gas then that's what will happen. If the A/C is on you may get even less. 5-sp. manuals get better gas mileage than autos. Try and take it easy on the gas and accelerate slower next time for 260mi. and you the light probably won't come on at 260 but at around 280. Do you do all city driving? Have you taken it on the highway on a long trip? You 'll see the difference.. My GSR 's light doesn't come on until around 280-290 but that's 99% highway driving. I have gone up to 320 and the needle was barely touching the "E"..
    Robertsmx is right. You have around 3 gallons left when the light comes on.

    I 'm doing ok.. Looking forward to autocrossing this summer.
    I 'm here a couple of times a week. I spend most of my time at h-a.org forums because I 'm modding my GSR and there is a wealth of information there. I talk to people there with every imaginable mod that there is, they know their stuff..

    I participate in the Civic topics a lot too since I have '97 HB.
    A couple of days ago I noticed you were into a heavy debate on the "which car is better, ITR, Prelude, Celica, Eclipse, etc." I went to start posting to defend our beloved small displacement VTEC engines but they had frozen it until "you guys cooled off.." as the moderator put it :-)
    Too bad I didn't notice it before. I hate to leave a fellow Honda owner alone in such debates.. Oh well, next time I 'll be there for you buddy! :-)

  • princeman1princeman1 Member Posts: 1
    With the great discounts on Intergras now, the price is about the same. Which car would you choose and why?
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    I 'd try and come up with the extra $2K and get the Integra GSR.
    If I had to chose between the LS and Si I 'd probably go with the LS 5-sp. because of its higher torque and the ABS that you can't get with the Si. The 2 cars will almost be identical from 0-50mph and the Teg might be a little ahead. It's from 50mph & up where the Si will start passing the LS slowly. The 2 cars weigh the same so the 17ft-lb torque advantage of the LS really helps at lower speeds and you don't have to keep the LS at 5500-6K RPM (like in the Si) all the time to get power out of it.
    ABS is very important to me and engaging it a couple of times in the rain saved my hide.. But if it's all out performance that counts to you go with the Si. The Si is a good car with a good engine and a decent handler. It's loud though and always whinning because it's only a 1.6L
    The LS is much more driveable in the city and highway and more quiet.
    The GSR on the other hand, although it also has VTEC like the SI it has a displacement and torque advantage over the SI just like the LS. At 4K RPM the Si goes about 62mph in top gear. The GSR goes 80mph!
    At comparable 60mph speeds while the SI is pushing 4K RPM the GSR is only at 3K RPM so you get much less engine noise.. The LS is running even less RPMs. These are some of the things I 'd consider.
    I was shopping for the Civic Si too last June but because the dealers weren't dealing too much on them back then and because of its 1.6L noisy engine I went for the GSR and paid $19.8K. Best price I got on an Si with spoiler was $18.3K in the NY/NJ area.
    GSRs now go for about $19.5-19.7K due to 1,500 dealer incentives. I know the prices are more in the low to mid-17's now for an Si and LS so had those been the prices back then I 'd probably go for the Si just because it's a little faster than the LS and I have a heavy foot :-) But I might 've regreted it now seeing how a lot of people are getting tired of the high cruising RPMs and the engine noise of the 1.6L I 'm really glad I went for the GSR. At the time with only a $1500 difference it was a no brainer. The GSR offers leather, ABS, 10 more HP, 17 more torque than the Si and a higher warranty as well as road side assistance and all that crap :-)
    It's actually a tough choice between the LS & Si
    They both have their good points and bad (only bad thing I see in the LS is that it's slower than the Si but nothing a few mods couldn't fix)

    I recently bought a new Acura Integra GS 200 Automatic with a full gas tank and after having driven till the tank was half empty I noticed that It was giving me only around 12 miles per gallon instead of the 25 or so I would expect. I was driving mostly from work to office and back (2 miles round trip) and the Acura service guy said that my engine was new and wasnt heating up enough to get the right mileage. Could any of you please advice what I should od, has anybody seen this on their new Integras. Thanks!
  • greenbudgreenbud Member Posts: 2
    I was at the dealership Friday test driving an Integra. I asked about the remodeled 2001 mentioned in Consumer Reports. The sales rep said that they weren't going to release a remodeled Integra until '02. Is this true? He also said that the coupe would be dropped. Can anyone verify this? In that case I'd have no reason to wait on a purchase which was possibly what he was going for.
  • only1harryonly1harry Member Posts: 1,140
    He is right about the '01 model release date/year. It will come out in March-April '02.
    As far as the coupe being dropped, he is wrong (unless you meant to say sedan). The sedan will be dropped not the coupe.
    It might be worth the wait though. It's supposed to have 220hp and much more torque but you 'll probably save thousands if you bought one now. GSRs have been going for less than $20K due to $1500-2K manufacturer-dealer incentives. Check the Edmund's section on REBATES/INCENTIVES (make sure you page all the way down to the incentives section)

    How do I find out about the $1500 incentive on Integras? What should I pay for an LS with an automatic? Take 1500 off of the prices I have found and I am ready to buy! Please let me know ASAP
  • arvindgarvindg Member Posts: 2
    I will try out some of the steps that you have mentioned to see if the gas mileage improves. Looks like my engine needs to break in properly before I can judge it. This was the first 1/2 tank that I had filled in and so on basis of that I was judging if the car was giving me good mileage or not. With a full gas tank and some decent amount of driving on the freeways, I should be getting around 260 miles or so for a full tank, right only1harry?

    I keep reading here about great prices on Integras, however the dealers here (kansas city) are asking $19,000 for used '99 LS. Can't find any info on the $2000 dealer incentive (tried Edmund's) either. If I can get an LS for under 18k or a GS for under 19k I would buy next week. Thanks

    go to www.carsdirect.com and you 'll see that that they can find you new Integra LS's 5-sp. for $16,815. Add $720 for auto (not recommended).

    I bought my car through carsdirect. At the time the price they gave you included the destination charge. Not sure now. Didn't read all the fine print. Fill out the application and they 'll give you a call within 48hrs. They 'll direct you to the dealer that has your car (& color) you want and at the price they advertise. Dealer's invoice on an LS is $17.8K so even if they add the destination charge ($450?) to 16.8K it's still a good deal.
    Do it now because their prices go up every day! This way you can lock in on this price. Good luck.

    Do you have the stock 14" rims? If so the best All Season Tire out there now for the money and performance is the Dunlop D60-A2 JLF
    195-60HR go for about $50 ea. at Tirerack

    I 'm on my 3d set. I really like these tires and they 're great on the wet.

    thanks for the price info..the car is for my wife, and she wants the automatic (too bad, i prefer to shift myself). What about the 2k dealer incentive? are these still in effect?

    The incentive ended at the beginning of the month. I got my '00 GS-R for 19.4K (before tax/title/license)...

    My brother really wants a new Integra GS-R. But I told him that in 2001 it would be remodeled and that he would get a better, faster more stylish car. The proplem is he really needs a car, and I have heard rumors that the 2001 model isn't coming until 2002, which doesn't make any sense. He can get a 2000 GSR for about 19K. Does anyone have any pictures for then 2001 Integra? If you do please Email to CivicRydr@yahoo.com does anyone else have this delima? I really don't want him having a 6 year old looking car when the new one comes out.
    Thanks.

    The new '01 Integra will have 220hp with beefed up suspension (coming out in Mar-Apr. 2002) so I estimated to be around $24-25K and being a hot new model you 'd be lucky if you can talk the dealers down a few hundred bucks. You 'd have to wait another 6-9mos (like the new Celicas) for the smoke to settle to get one at a decent price. The current GS-R for $19-20K is a bargain.
    But if you can wait and have the money, why not? I 'll probably trade mine in for a '02 or '03
    (don't like to buy first year out..)
    I 'll send you some pics of the '01 Teg.
