Sooooo as most of you probably know, I sold my auto integra yesterday and got a new one today. So, skip to that part.
It's a 1996 Integra LS five speed, 181k, clutch feels brand new, just inspected last month, engine is clean, body is straight completely, (no dents) just a bit of paint fade and the hatch is white instead of silver, no biggy. Couple things is the rear wiper doesn't work, so taking care of that, and I'm not sure if the rear defroster works because of the new hatch, and I feel like the HVAC system doesn't do justice without the AC on. It was pouring today and I had the heat blowing on the windshield, but it wouldn't unfog the windshield at all. It opened up only a small patch on the bottom.
I didn't realize how much I needed a rear wiper till today. I barely used mine on my old teg, but never had a problem with the rear windshield being completely covered. I could barely see out of it. But besides that, the car is pretty solid. It's been pouring all day, so I only have a few pics. Once the weather clears, I'll wash it, clean it up and take more.

I also noticed the SRS light is on, but that's no big deal. The weird thing is it has a 5/14 inspection tag on it but no emissions sticker. I think my dad said something about it being mileage exempt. I won't know till the title comes in the mail though.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase and for once, out of the four cars I've owned, I can honestly say I made the right choice. I'm becoming a natural at driving a manual also, as this is my first five speed car. I'm pretty much shifting quote smoothly and got the catch point down and how to downshift and going into turns and such. It's been a fun ride today. One thing that has to change immediately. The speakers are TERRIBLE. The worst sounding audio quality I've ever heard. So gonna pull out the box of speakers i saved from my hatch and pop them in on Sunday hopefully.
Plans for this car are simple as of right now until I build some cash flow.
- Tune-up (plugs, wires, trans fluid, oil change, air filter change, distributor cap and rotor, and fuel filter)
- I want to replace the pads and rotors because they seem iffy when stopping hard (bouncy)
- Inspect the tires and replace if needed
- after car is all good, simple I/H (already have E
)
Then I'll probably just save money and figure out what I want to do with it. I know I want to do a 98-01 front and rear conversion because I love those bumpers.
So far I've put 48 miles and it just ticked under the full line. Gonna be going to Leesport, Pennsylvania in the car tomorrow so I get to do some highway driving with it.
And that's it for now.
Sold my car for $2250, paid $2300 for this one and $108 for tags, so $2408 total investment so far.
