My 95' Acura Integra

[Ted's Owner]

Everything looks good so far. Sorry I've kind of been AWOL lately. I've been busy.
From what I understand, S2K antennas are welcome upgrades to these cars. There are threads all over CI about them, so I'd look into it when you get to that point.
How's the trans coming along?

Ya I was actually looking at that one but I'm spending 2500 right now to get my car fixed. I'm a little low on cash

So finally got my car back from the transmission clinic. It feels amazing!! Definitely worth $2500 since it will last another 120,000 miles.

Damn that's a lot of money!!!

I would've just sold the car and bought another...

Was planning in doing. I wanted to get a hatch . But I figured even if I keep the car just till summer it was worth it. It will sell better.

Hey OP!
Haven't heard from you in a while. Any upgrades recently?
And if you get a hatch, post your build thread so I can follow it, please. I also may want to buy some parts off of your 'Teggy. I would personally keep the 'Teggy, but to each his own.

 

[AcuraIntegra 95]

I'm still around haha. Just don't have any money right now so I'm not doing anything to my car. And I'm still deciding on wether to sell my car.

 

[Ted's Owner]

Good to know. I wouldn't sell it, though. You've got a lot invested into it.

Recently I have been trying to find a way to stop my muffler from rattling when it gets above 3000 rpm. I just found a thread about a fix for this problem and plan on trying it this weekend. The thread says the problem lays in the "a-pipe" which is the pipe that goes into the cat. Inside the a pipe is another pipe which is said to be the problem. I'm going to weld the inner pipe to the outer pipe so it no longer rattles. If this does not work I'm going to buy a magma flow resonator which will fix the problem. If anyone has any other ideas or you have this problem yourself I am completely open to other ideas. Thanks

I would try your welding idea, and if that doesn't completely do it, i would look at the part in the exhaust at the end of the a-pipe where the gasket is. Cut the gasket flange off and get a piece of pipe welded there instead. My exhaust has a slight leak in that area and I will be doing that soon. I got to get my wheels situated, first.
If the welding doesn't fix it, I wouldn't bother with the MagnaFlow resonator. Save your pennies and just do the full system instead. You'll get a lot more satisfaction out of it.

The resonator will only cost 50$ and I will be soon working a job where I will be getting about 2,000 a month. And since I'm a high school student I really don't have to pay anything. So I will be able to save up quick soon. But I will try the weld first to see if it works.

Let me know how it goes.

Hey so this will be my last update. I sold the teg and am getting a Pontiac Fiero. I was able to sell it for 4000$ and couldn't be happier with the price. Here is a pic of the car I'm getting:

Do you have the car in your possession or are you planning on buying it?
