I just bought a 96 Integra LS, automatic, 119K miles, for $2400 at a car auction. To be honest I don't know jack shit about cars. I know this is a really vague thread, but I'm just looking for tidbits of info to get started, tips, tricks, things to watch out for, anything I should know to keep my Teg runnin smooth. Thanks in advance, I'm excited to be a new member of CI

looks clean, and I am sure as many will suggest, lower it first and go from there

thanks fella's, much appreciated. anyway someone can point me in the right direction of a good suspension kit? besides aesthetics, what purpose exactly does this serve beyond allowing me to bottom out on every speed bump? :p

thanks!

Mine is only lowered about 1.5 in and I live in MO and seldomly bottom out. I have Tokico Illumina lower shocks and springs. Purpose is to get rid of the body role and improve handling....

ok, while I have a captive audience lol... I've noticed a few little things with the car. first is this spinning sound coming from the right of the engine I believe it to be the ABS motor, but again, I'm stupid when it comes to cars). so this sound happens ever 20 or so seconds then eventually stops and the ABS light comes on, another indication it may be the motor lol. sooo... basically what do I do to fix this, how much does it cost?

nice car man, welcome to the club, mine is a auto 96 LS as well, but 4dr. i payed 2900 for mine with 150k on it, so u got a good deal. also when it rains, check in your trunk by where the spare tire is and look out for water.

sounds like maybe your low on fluid in your abs tank. just pop the top on it and add some brake fluid.

no... if it is low, dont just add fluid! replace your pads. if your fluid level is low, odds are that your pads are running low too
