Acura Integra

guttermouth · August 2000

I'm looking for a used car around $5,000 to $8,000 in price and reliability is very important. I would like a car newer than '89 and somewhat sporty. Thanks for any help.

token155 · August 2000

Does anyone know where the fuel pump is located on a 1994-2000 model integra?
Thanks ahead of time.

rrrev · August 2000

I spoke to an Acura salesman last week and he told me that the body style of the Integra isn't going to change next year. How long has this style been around, eight years? I had heard that it would change next year. What's the deal with Acura? Has anyone heard anything to the contrary?

I'm a big fan of Import cars so I love Honda/Acuras. I already put money down on the new 2001 Acura Integra Type R just to reserve it. BUT!!!! I just saw a picture of the 2001 Acura Integra at http://busybeetoys.com/SCOOP/scoop-2000-01-19.htm

if this is how the Acura Integra is going to look I would rather buy an AMERICAN car.... I really thought they could do better then this... like an nsx look or something but this is really, really bad. When you guys get a chance look go to the web site I posted and let me see what you guys think.

we should go on strike against honda/acura.

only1harry · August 2000

Nah, that's an old picture. I have like 3 newer ones and they all look different, but sportier than the one at busybeetoys. Check your mail jctejada. Latest rumors are that the regular Integra will be like 195hp and the Type-R 220hp but not with a 2.2L but a 2.0L. I doubt any of the Integras will have a 2.2L. Even the S2000 has a 2.0L.

Thanx Harry I got your picture. Too tell you the truth I didnt noticed any big changes from the picture I saw in the website and the picture you sent me. Bottom line is both pictures looked really, really ugly, ill looking, ill-favored, heinous, terrible, nasty looking and whatever else you want to call it. I would be ashamed to drive this car down the street. I think the Acura Integra owners from previous generations would just look at me and laugh. How could the Acura/Honda engineers come up with a design like this? I thought these people got pay good money to make up these designs. Honda/Acura could pay me half the amount they pay those guys and I bet I can come up with a better design then that. Better yet my little 9 year old brother can come up with a better design then that. Honda/Acura doesnt even have to pay him. All they have to do is give him a box of crayons and hell be happy with that. I dont know what Honda/Acura is thinking about. Maybe what they want to do is what Mitsubishi did with the eclipse and sell it to an older generation because thats what the new Integra looks like, an OLD man. I am really disappointed with the new look of the 2001 Integra. I am seriously thinking about getting the money I put down on the 2001 Acura Integra Type R back. I dont think all the hype the Type R has is going to help sell this car. But Im going to wait until it does come out (September) and go to the dealer and take a good long look at it and then decide. If it is really going to be as bad as I think its going to be then Ill just jump into a Prelude. I think for the money the 2000 Honda Prelude is the best next thing to the Acura Integra Type R, What do you guys think about that????

jctejada · August 2000

How do I start a new topic??? I would like to start a new Topic about the 2001 Acura Integra design. Or maybe one of you guys can start it but we need to start talking about this quick, fast and in a hurry.

Only1Harry, my '99Civic DX hatch just turned 25k miles. I decided to use Mobil 1 5W-30 from now on.What oil do you use?

Instead of 3750 service intervals (a pain to remember) I've decided to use every 5K mile intervals; what's your advice?

joeg26er · August 2000

I have a '94 GS-R Sedan and would like to add a supercharger. I have heard that this will cause frequent timing problems.

Can this be overcome?
Is it inevitable?

Who makes the best kit for the money?

Thanks

only1harry · August 2000

I 've been using Castrol GTX on my Civic and change the oil every 3-3.5k mi. My '97 Civic HB just turned 105k mi. and it doesn't burn any oil at all!
On my Integra GSR I started using Mobil 1 very recently (16K mi).
Although I do go fast with the Civic and average 80-85mph I didn't think it was necessary to go with synthetic. Besides 85mph is really nothing for the Civic.. Now the GSR is a different story. With that 8K RPM redline and frequent racing (autocross, and at the light) that I do, I feel the engine might benefit from the extra protection of the synthetic oil.
My advice would be don't go with synthetic. I 'm really hard on my Civic and have a lead foot so I 'm proof that the Civic doesn't really need synthetic oil to maintain reliability. Maybe synthetic might protect it more when the car has 150 or 200k mi.? can't really answer that. When I get there on mineral oil I 'll let you know the status of my motor. So far at 100k+ mi. oil consumption is nil which means the motor is fat and happy (healthy) and regular oil is more than adequate.

only1harry · August 2000

I think it's time you visited a more technical forum. You 've asked a lot of technical questions about turbos and SCs but there isn't anyone here with a turbocharged Integra so you need to go here: www.honda-tech.com
Register to get an ID and then post to your heart's content. You should go to the Forced Induction topic. I hang out at the Integra forum there. My nickname is VTEConly. There are very highly technical people that can answer all your questions there. As you can tell the Edmunds forums are a little more mild and don't go into the bolts and nuts of things. I 'm mostly at the honda-tech forums but I like it here because it 's more quiet

It gets kind of crazy there reading everyone's problems and there are way more posts there than here. Anyway I 'm sure you 'll find it very informative.

only1harry · August 2000

I missed something in your post before.. Who told you the new Integra is coming out in September? Everything I 've been reading the last 6 mos says it's coming out in March-April of '01.
New model year Integras never came out in September anyway. They always arrived at the dealers' lots in mid-late October. I 'd get a new saleman if I were you.. and don't believe everything they tell you. They 're going to hold on to your money for a long long time because Type-Rs are definitely not coming out till the Spring of next year. It's already been announced at several auto shows.

token155 · August 2000

I will be purchasing a new LS 5-speed soon. I will give the local dealers a chance, but if I can't find the deal I'm looking for, I will get the car through CarsDirect.com. Has anyone purchased an LS recently, especially in the San Francisco Bay Area? If so, what price did you settle for? Do you have any suggestions about the buying process?

For those of you who are saying, "Why aren't you getting a GS-R"...well, you're right. However, I don't care for leather, the spoiler, and the lower gear ratios (I make several road trips). I wish I could get an LS with the VTEC motor. Hence, my dream car: an "LS-R".

only1harry · August 2000

Good luck with your purchase. I went to carsdirect.com for a friend who was looking for a GS-R about 10 days ago and it said: SOLD OUT! Now I 'm in NY so maybe there are some in other states. This could also mean that they 're not making '00 GSRs anymore, not sure. Anyway, I went through carsdirect over a year ago and it was very painless. You still pick up the car from the dealer. carsdirect just negotiated the price they advertise with the dealer and got me that exact price ($19.8K for '99GSR).
Suggestions for the buying process: Go late at night or 1/2 hr. before they close. Tell them you 're ready to buy the car today, IF they meet or match prices you 've seen on line. Check out Edmunds' Rebates & Incentives section first! if there is a thousand or 1,500 incentive subtract that from the sticker price right away and then at least another $1K after that. Also walk around their lot. See how many LSs they have. If they only have 1 LS or only a couple of Integras total they may not negotiate much. The more they have the better chance you have at getting it at your price. Always let the dealer make a few hundred bucks. Do not make unreasonable offers like below dealer invoice (minus the factory-dealer incentive of course) or right at invoice. Acura dealers are not Chevy dealers.. Anway, pump them up, get them excited and tell them you 're willing to put a deposit down the same day and buy the car the next day or the day after. Another thing to remember is that the lower the price they agree on, the higher the interest rate they 'll try and give you. Tell them if you don't get a reasonable interest rate or the advertised one (sometimes they give out special Honda loan rates like 6.9% of lower) the deal will fall through or you 'll get a loan over the Internet with much better rates. When they heard that I was getting a loan from the Internet, they gave in and said, fine you can have the 6.9%. That's what Acura was advertising but they dealerhip doesn't want to give you that. They make money on the interest and try and give you the highest rate possible, unless you complain and simply say: no thanks, I 'll finance through someone else. Then watch them come up with excuses and other ways to get you a better rate. They have several financial institutions they do business with. One of them is offering the "good" or advertised rate. They 'll tell you your credit is not perfect and all kinds of crap. Just walk away. They 'll call back.. That's it for now. Do these things and you 'll do ok. Just get used to saying: no thanks to the dealers and you 'll get what you want, eventually. If not there 's always the online car brokers.

token155,
Just for reference sake, I have a deal on the table for a 2 door automatic on the table with a dealer I found through autoweb.com. He offered me $17,203 + tax, tag, and dealer service fee (not sure about this??) for a grand total of $18,763. If anyone has any thoughts on this deal please let me know... good or bad. I'm about ready to take it. BTW I'm in central Florida just for the record.

Joel

only1harry · August 2000

Given that sticker is around $20K for an automatic LS, $18.7K with tax and everything out the door is not bad at all! This means they still have factory incentives on the Integra (havent' checked Edmunds' section on that lately)
Don't know about the dealer service fee and have never heard of it. It's just another way of them to charge you more. The dealer service fee is most likely autoweb.com's fee that the dealer will send to them, like an agent's fee.
When I was making the deal with carsdirect.com they told me the dealer is charging me a $200 advertising fee. I said what? there 's no such thing and advertising fees are included in the sticker price of the car. I said NO, I 'm not buying the car because that's a ripoff. Then I called the sales manager, and told him I 've bought several new cars and noone ever charges an advertising fee. He said that's because this carsdirect profit! So I called them back and started yelling at them telling them I know that's their profit and they can go to the dealer and try and get $200 out of them. So about 2 days go by, and carsdirect called me back and told me many people have been complaining about the "advertising fee" (because dealers were not too cooperative and told the customers that the $200 was going to carsdirect - dealers don't really like the Internet car agents because it cuts into their profits a little), so they 've done away with it, and to say "we are sorry" they took off another $100 off the price. I was happy.
Fight the dealer service fee because there 's no such thing - don't pay it. Tell them you 've talked to others that have bought new cars and have never heard of that. It could also be the dealer fee they charge for registering the car for you and doing the paperwork. Here in NY it's usually $20. I had them waive it. It was called "dealer preparation fee". I told them they made $600 on the car, and that's enough. They don't need to get another $20 out of me and the sales manager said fine. Screw their fees! Go over them carefully and question everything. You still got a great deal though..

only1harry · August 2000

Almost forgot. I would advise to get a 5-sp. if you can. Much more fun to drive (and much faster). Not too much fun if you run into a lot of traffic frequently though.. If they have one on the lot, it should be about $700 cheaper than what you 're paying for the auto, like $16,500. It would be a steal!

jwgators · August 2000

Thanks for the info. I would like a manual, but have no means of learning how to drive one right now. And I don't want to learn on a brand new car. I'll look into the service fee some more and try to get out of that. Thank again.

lancerfixer · August 2000

Call AAA- they can recommend a driving school that'll teach you to drive a standard. Trust me, as a former owner of two Integras, I can say that the five-speed is ten times the car the automatic is. You won't regret it!

token155 · August 2000

I really appreciate your responses, especially to only1harry, for the excellent shopping tips. I was able to get a loan over the internet for 7.79%, however I will certainly find out if the dealer can beat that. I'm shooting for $18.8k out the door. Our sales tax in CA is 8.25 %

jwgators - I would seriously consider what only1harry is suggesting for your transmission choice. Once you learn how to drive a stick, you will never want to go back to an automatic. If you're stuck on an auto tranny, I would suggest getting a vehicle with a V6 (Accord Coupe?) or Turbo (VW?). I have recently converted my roomate, an owner of a 4.3L Chevy S-10 Blazer w/Auto, after teaching him to drive my '84 Accord 5spd with only 86 hp! Good luck with your choice.

jwgators · August 2000

I know it might be more fun to drive a manual, but I really don't need to race or anything like that. My last car was a 93 Tercel, so anything is quick compared to it. But I appreciate the advice and maybe I will regret not taking it.

kskilskyj · August 2000

I noticed that there are some pretty good lease deals on Integra's according to Edmunds regional incentives page. The question I have though, is what down payment are they using to calculate the lease. The incentive page says, "Estimated monthly payment is based on a typical amount financed and down payment".

How am I supposed to know what a "typical amount" is? Anyone have any ideas? I want to take advantage of the good deal, but I don't want to walk into the dealership not knowing what to expect.

Thanks,
Kevin

only1harry · August 2000

(why do people pick such difficult nicknames??)

Send an e-mail to Edmunds. They would be the best ones to answer this question since they wrote it.. I 've e-mailed them a couple of times and got a response within 48hrs.

jctejada · August 2000

Thanx again Harry, well a salesman named Daug from Springfield Acura, NJ told me that they should be receiving the new Integras in September/2000. Thats why I decided to put money down cause he said if I didnt there would be a long waiting list. But after you showed me a picture of the new possible 2001 Integra Ive been thinking about getting my money back. Like I said before and Ill say it again, the new Integra looks horrible (that is, if the one you showed me in the picture is the one actually coming out). I decided not to get my money back just yet because you never know. I want to go see it right in front of me before I decide to do anything else.

I cant remember which issue of Car&Driver I saw it in but they had a picture of a possible 2001 Integra and it looked much better then the one you showed me. It kinda looked like a mixed between the NSX and the Integra (Which I think is a much better way to go). The one you showed me, which looked more like a mix between the Prelude and I dont know what else certainly not an Integra (is not the way to go). Right now Im just going to wait and see and I know what you mean about them not giving me my money back in a quick fashion if I decide not to buy. And by the time they do give it back to me they have already made it up in interest anyways, hee hee! Them dealer guys know too much but then again if I have to sue them for 10 times the amount I put down then Ill do so. Like that instead of buying an Integra Ill buy a brand new 2001 four wheel drive BMW M3 cash!!!!!!!!!!! HEE HEE :-)

only1harry · August 2000

Didn't you only put down like $100 or something? Don't tell me you gave them like $20K???? Is this your first new car? Dealer always try and get you to put down thousands of dollars so your money can sit in their bank account and make them interest or they invest it and make money while you wait and wait.. I 've bought 5 new cars and 2 of them had a $100 deposit just to hold it until I made up my mind or while I was shopping around. The others I didn't put anything down and told the guy, "yeah if you sell the car within a day or two, then it's my loss, don't worry about it!". The cars were still there a few days later. Most guys I know that bought a Type-R just gave their name & ph# as the dealer had a list and it was first come first serve. Anyway I guarantee you we won't see the new Integra in showroom in September because all Integras in the past came out in late October.
Where is Springfield Acura? Is that near Berkeley Heights? The reason I 'm asking is because that's where I work and there is a Springfield Avenue that I know goes through several towns.

only1harry · August 2000

I looked it up on Yahoo maps. It's about 15-20min. from where I work. That's good to know in case I have problems with my GSR. I didn't know if there was an Acura dealer in that area. I 'm not too familiar with those towns because I live in NY and I all I do is get on 24 to 78 to 287 to 87 (New York State Thruway). I stay on the major highways. I regularly see a '00 yellow Type-R on 78 and in Berkeley Heights. I 'm pretty sure it's the same guy. Hey, we 'll be autocross racing this Sunday at the Meadowland. It's a BMW event sponsored by the M-Club. There will be at least 3 Type-R's there (one is my brother's '98), a couple of GSR's and a Prelude SH if you want to come and watch or even participate. It doesn't matter what you drive. It's a lot of fun. Most ITR owners race their cars so com'on over and watch because you 'll probably be doing this next year if you buy a Type-R. Besides, most Type-R owners in the area know each other so come and meet them and tell them you 'll be a '01 ITR owner

I 'll know all those guys there. We usually go racing together and kick BMW butt. Hopefully Jeff will be there in his modified (suspension) '98 ITR and will kick major M3 butt!
I love his car. An ITR is good enough stock, but with modified suspension and race tires, it's just amazing. You can't miss it. We 'll be using one of the parking lots there. Look for red cones and the cars. All the other parking lots will be empty so it's easy to find us. I can give you the lot # if you 're interested, once I look it up at the web site.

jctejada · August 2000

Thanx for telling me about the races in the Meadowlands. Tell me the lot # just in case I decide to go. The only problem is that at the moment I dont have an automobile. Thats why Im in the process of buying a new one. After you told me that the new Integras wont be coming out until May or something like that I decided to check with other Acura Dealers and you are correct none of the other Acura Dealers I called told me that the new Integras are coming out in September. One tried to tell me in October but I think thats bull sht also. I dont think Ill be able to wait that long for the new Integra typeRs since I need a car now. Being that the new Integra type r is a bit out of reach for me because of time and the current ones seem to be sold-out. What would be the next best thing to the Acura Integra Type R (for the money). My second pick has always been the Prelude SH. What do you think about that???

only1harry · August 2000

My friend has a black '99 Prelude SH and he races with us. Very nice car. I 've been in it a couple of times and once I went on a run with him (autocross racing). I was impressed. It was as good as my modded GSR. Stock to stock it handles better than a GSR. More torque too. He 'll be at the Meadowlands this Sunday. He is leasing it for 2yrs. I know they run like $24-25K if you were to buy them. The Active Torque system (ATTS) works really well at the track. He does 3 wheeling all the time! We have him on video with the inside rear wheel off the ground several times, just like the Type-Rs. It also has a respectable top speed of 140mph (GSR is 134 stock)
Another friend of mine has a black '98 base Prelude and races at Limerock, CT every summer. That's a touch road course! Definitely the 2nd best choice after the Type-R. Have you read last year's R&T October (or Nov.) issue? They tested 7 sports coupes (& hatchbacks). The base Prelude came in 1st overall, Eclipse was 2nd, Celica GT-S 3d, Integra GSR 4th, VW VR6 5th, and Imperza 2.5 & Cougar 6th & last. Very good comparison test.

greddygtr · August 2000

To anybody who thinks you have any idea what the next-gen Integra will be like, your probably wrong. I mean, Honda has traditionally been very tight-lipped about its upcoming models and concrete info is practically impossible to come by. I really hope they use a modified, longer-wheelbase version of the s2000 platform rather than the civic platform like the previous 3 generations. This would turn the integra into a true sports car.

only1harry · August 2000

There has been a lot of talk and articles that Honda will NOT be using the Civic platform again for the '01 Integra.
I do disagree with your other statment though.. The Type-R is a true sports car. It has awesome handling and great braking capabilities. The Civic platform is not a bad one at all. The Type-R's is just more reinforced and rigid due to some strategically welded steel plates on the subframe, larger suspension bushings, stiffer springs & shocks with larger antiroll bars supplimented by Limited Slip differential and big brakes. 6.2sec 0-60 and 14.8 in the 1/4 also classify it as a sports car. I 've spent $1300 on suspension upgrades on my '99 GSR and it's still no Type-R. At autocross racing yesterday I drove my brother's Type-R and it was just a much more balanced car, more neutral, and did everything faster: corner, accelerate and brake. No wonder I haven't been able to match his times yet. Now I 'm going with more aggressive suspension stuff & brakes and start selling what I got

hprickettx · August 2000

If you're drooling over a Type-R so much and trying to emulate one, why don't you just cut to the chase and get one? Wouldn't that be easier than trying to turn a GSR wannabe into a Type-R? Easier but not as much fun as tinkering maybe? Just wondering.

About my 1987 Integra, I watched it turn over 280,000 on the way to work this morning. I'm putting about 450 miles a week on it as my weekly commute is about 210 miles from home. I have no hesitation about going any where any time with it and don't wonder if it will be dependable. Every time I think about trading it in I talk myself out of it by saying it's paid for, and costs very little to operate. On average, about $600 per year goes into maintenance now, which includes preventive maintenance. That's way less than car payments.

I bought it new. It's a LS 4 door hatch with 5 speed. I bought a 4 door 'cause I wanted something I could grow into if I got married and eventually had kids (and now do). Plus, I hate 2 door cars, the seat belts are too hard to reach. I wanted a hatchback so I could haul stuff around, since I only had one car. It was and is the ideal car for me, an excellent compromise between a fun car and a practical car.

As for your questions, it still has the original gear box. I'm on my 2nd clutch, replaced I think at about 120k, back in the days when I used to drive hard and fast. I take it a bit easier now adays, still fast but a bit easier on the starts.

As for major maintenance, so far I have replaced clutch at 120k, 2 inner cv joints at about 230k, water pump twice as part of recommended pm (can you say interference engine?), alternator at about 200k, fuel injectors at 250k, a brake diverter valve, and maybe a few other miscellaneous items you might expect like brake rotors, other pm type things like plug wires, and then the wear items like brake pads, tires, etc.

aaplnke · August 2000

What is the going price that is good for the Acura mentioned above? I got a $17900 before tax, title and registration. Can I bargain down another $500, you think? Thanks for the help!

Brian

only1harry · August 2000

That's a very good price considering sticker on an LS auto is almost $2K more! Yes, you could go down another $300-500 because I believe carsdirect.com is around $17.5K for an LS auto I guess due to the $1500 factory-dealer incentives. Check them out and compare.

PS. I recommend the 5-sp. Faster and more fun to drive plus it will save you $700-800 and you 'll have a lot less problems with the tranny down the road.

kskilskyj · August 2000

Has anyone had Remote Keyless Entry installed on their Integra? Should I get it installed by the dealer or go somewhere else to get it done? How much should I expect to pay?

m_les · August 2000

when and why did honda remove the hatchback release lever from inside the integra? i just went to trade my 1994 for a 2000 and discovered this nonsense. instead of popping the hatch from inside when you are loading, you must turn off the car, remove the key, get out and walk around to the back and insert the key. any ideas about why this was done? what model year? thanks.

dlong6 · August 2000

you do not have to have the key to open the hatchback. if the doors are unlocked the hatch is unlocked as well .

only1harry · August 2000

This change started with the '98 models. The front bumper and lights was not the only thing they changed

The hatch release is now part of the Power lock system.
What's kind of bad about this though, is that if your car is locked and lets you go back to get something out of your trunk, when you unlock the hatch door, all your doors are now open. If you happened to forget to lock the hatch door when you 're done, your regular doors are left unlocked too.

occupant1 · August 2000

That is one of the few faults with the central locking. My fiance's blue '98 LS 3-door has that system. I like it because with a quick key motion she only unlocks the driver's door, with a hold, she can then open the passenger door and hatch. What I don't like about the system is you can't lock the doors while the driver's door is open whether or not the key is in the ignition. To lock the car when you get out, you either have to hold the door handle open while you hit the lock button or you have to manually lock the door with the key after you close it. Personally, I can't wait to get her something else because I hate 2-door cars. I'm looking for a silver '98-'00 LS/GS 4-door in silver, automatic, to replace it, that or a nice used 3.2TL.

only1harry · August 2000

Hondas & Acuras have had this for probably about 14yrs now. You don't have to get out to lock the driver's door! All you have to do, while still sitting inside with the door half opened, is hold the inside door handle (lever) open and with your pointer finger hit the power lock button. It's very easy and you 'll get used to it in a couple of days.
I also do the same with my '97 Civic that doesn't have power door locks but a big plastic lock lever on the inside. I think I use my middle finger to push that in towards the door (because it's further away) while my other fingers keep the inside door handle open

I 'm not 100% though because I do it unconciously and don't think about it

I too used to either hold the outside door handle open and reach in to lock the door or use the key, until my brother told me how to do it while still in the car (he owned a '95 LS at the time and now a Type-R). This was after I had the car for at least 6mos and he saw me use the key.. The Integra I figured out by myself

Only1Harry is right about being able to lock the door from inside when the lever is pulled. I have always liked this feature of Hondas (& Acuras). The lock button is always right next to the interior open handle, so with one graceful action, I can open the door and lock it at the same time.

Much much easier than on other makes where you have to do the awkward hold the handle up while closing the door.

I can't find the button to turn off the maintenance required indicator on my 96 Integra LS. Am I blind or is the manual misleading? Thanks.

I've seen conflicting information about when the new version of Integra will be available from Spring 2001 to Fall 2001. Has anyone heard anything definite?

Thanks

Hi, I recently test drove an automatic 2000 Integra LS and thought it shifted hard. I could feel the car slightly hesitate when I would speed up or slow down. It was even more noticeable with the cruise control. Is this normal? Or was the car I test drove faulty? Thanks

It was likely normal. The Integra has never been noted for its performance with the automatic. It's a car meant to have a 5-speed, pure and simple. Drive a manual example; it's a night and day difference. The 5-speed is an absolute dream to drive. If you can't or won't drive a manual, frankly, I'd look elsewhere, perhaps at an Accord V6 coupe.
