2014 Mini Cooper (stick shift of course), 2016 Camry hybrid, 2009 Outback Sport 5-spd (keeping the stick alive)
Here's the deal. My beloved '89 RS AT, bought new at the time, got totaled in 1996. I've always hoped to get another early Integra, and finding this one for $900 last month has been the highlight of my year so far. I'm determined to take this little car to 300K. So, after the t-belt and water pump, any thoughts on what I should have done next as preventative maintenance, since prior maint records aren't available? I'd much rather be proactive on keeping the car, motor, and trans fit, than have something sneak up. Trans fluid/filter? (Fluid's bright red, no burnt smell). Other ideas?
Counting the axles and muffler I've got about $1300 total in this car so far. I have no problem spending $1K or so a year over the next few to keep it on the road; I'd just rather not get hit with a motor or tranny all at once. It gets twice the mileage of the SUV I was driving exclusively before (and which is now parked except when work demands the cargo space) so it'll easily pay for the routine stuff. I'm also considering going to full synthetic oil; the extra cost isn't an issue and from everything I read, synth is just plain purer than *any* refined oil.
Any and all thoughts welcome and appreciated. Tanks in advance.

My 91 has been totaled due to the fact that body work from a fender bender cost more than the insurance company said the car was worth. I had the body work done and kept the extra cash from the insurance company. That is still one fine car but I am getting hesitant to drive it on long trips because I am no mechanic and would hate to get stuck somewhere on the road.
I love the way the car handles, the way it fits me just right, the way it corners, and in general I love my car. I just need a new reliable car. Mine only has 140k or 150k miles and I suspect that if it does break it will be something minor.
I have kept "my baby" well maintained and have a great mechanic - Paul at hondura in Irving, TX.
So are there any similar cars out there today that would perform as well as my 91 integra? It still can get over 30m/g on the highway with the wind at my back and I love the good gas mileage that my car still gets even in town. When it was new I once got 42m/g on the highway with the help of the wind at my back.
However, I recently brought it to another mechanic who said the rear transmission seal is loose, and the car has 6-12 months left before it dies, and it will cost atleast 1000 to fix it. I guess I have to get a 3rd opinion now, but does anyone know how much it costs to fix a transmission seal?
I have an 96 acura integra. where do I look in the car to see what type my acura is? type R, type SL, etc, etc...
thanks for your time, and sorry for the HJ

That year, there were an RS, LS, Special Edition, and GS-R. Below the right taillight, there was a little badge that said "Special Edition" if that is what yours is. The GS-R has a little badge in the same spot that says "VTEC".
The RS is the base model: no sunroof, and plastic wheel covers. The LS is in between. Could still have plastic wheels, but will have the moonroof, and might have alloys.

How do I take out the radio unit to either make sure the wires in the back are connected tight or to replace with a new cd unit? Do I have to remove the whole plastic dash cover??
I have an acura integra gsr. I observed that when I open my the sunroof, the car seems to be running smoother, especially at higher speeds. Has somebody else felt this too or am I smoking crack?
Just go to CarFax.com and put your VIN into their VIN search. You can find your VIN in the driver side door, driver side of the windshield, and in your engine bay.

My 18 yr old brother wants this car, but I'm a little worried because the private seller is firm on selling it for $10,500. BB value for private party puts the car at $8500 to $9500.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Is it an LS, GS, or GSR? Get the VIN from the car and post it, and we'll determine what kind of Integra it is. Get your brother to go to the car and write the VIN down, which can be found on the driver-side of the windshield, in the engine bay, or inside the driver-side door.
Has the car been modified at all with aftermarket parts? If so, what kind of parts? Is it a clean title, meaning no salvage title or any accidents? Have all of the scheduled services been done? How many owners has it had, and who is the current owner (age, gender)? This may seem trivial (age and gender of owners), however it isn't. If a young kid owns it now, chances are the car has been ran a lot harder than if a 65 year-old grandmother ownded it.
Basically, the price is determined by a lot of things. You must do your research to determine if the appropriate value is being applied.
Have your brother ask the questions I've put down for you and post that information. Make sure to record the VIN and post it as well even after the owner answers all the questions for you.
Note that all of your symptoms could be caused by something completely different too, related to the EFI. Like a sensor wire that got knocked off or removed and not replaced after the mechanic was done. So it may not be the valve adjustment causing the problem at all, but rather something else that got done at the same time the mechanic was under the hood.

Get a Carfax. If it's got a problem, you'll find red flags there.
If it's in good shape, you've got an attractive, efficient, fun to drive car that should be trouble free.
I'm getting close to 30 MPG, and I'm rarely in the slow lane.

I am the original owner of a 92 Integra LS 4dr.5spd with 300,000km. I too have been looking since 2004 for a replacement - but I'm still loving this one. My problem is a bit of body rust. Cars I've looked at: Mazda RX-8, Acura TSX, Honda Civic Si, Lexus IS250.
I'd like to drive this one till it drops - but I've been fixing all problems so far - just changed my alternator the other day - still have my original clutch!
thank you
What does "getting old" mean, exactly? Couldn't you just keep it until the first big repair comes along?
If you're thinking of spending CX7/9-2x money, what about a GTI R32? That's AWD, and a real hoot to drive from what I hear. There isn't a new one available right now, but there are slightly used ones all over the place. They would still be under manufacturer warranty.

Could somebody comment on this please!
Thanks
Thanks for the advice you gave me regarding my 2000 Integra. You were correct. My heat shield was broken off on one of the corners resulting in a an extremely loud rattling. The loud rattling is gone. Thanks for you help it's very appreciated.
