92 GS
Hey whats up everyone, my name is Chris and I just purchased a 1992 Integra GS. I've owned 3 Nissan 240sx's before and agree that Imports>Domestics in every way. My DA has 190k, some surface rust, peeling clearcoat and a few dents; but the interior is immaculate and I was told the B18 is in very good shape. Now for pics!!

I paid 1500$ cash up front and will owe about 800$...Its a little steep but I needed a car ASAP. It will need some TLC but nothing my brother and his friend can't help me with.

Love that clean interior. Needs an entire paint job, but after that it will be immaculate inside and out. Reminds me of my DA. Always kept the inside immaculate, even when the outside looked like this.



Google Earth shot. Only on I have of it alll messed up. :( You can see all the clear coat peeling too and a bashed in door.

After paint job and some body work.....

This...



and this...




Your DA is a very good start man. Give her some love and stick with it.

Plans are to sea-foam engine tomorrow, then I drive 200 miles back up the mountain.. I desperately need a new clutch, so I'm hoping this one will give me another 20-50k(the clutch doesn't catch til its practically up) before I upgrade that. I'd like to get a front lip, paint it black. Lowered on cheap coilovers or spring/strut combo. Don't really know much about the B series engines, but I'd like to go VTEC eventually, and of course do intake/header/exhaust set-up. And maybe some decent 16s (I.E. Rotas). OH YEAH, get some damn one-piece headlights and JDM or whatever the clear/red combo tail lights. All opinions/criticism welcome.

Just finishing "de-ricing" most of the DA. Took off the acinine, huge Autozone racing pedals. Broke off (lol) non-functioning Autozone foglights. Now the front looks a little cleaner, though previous owner(s) had to cut some of the plastic away in order to mount the lights.

Are there any guys here that are over 6foot? I'm 6'4 and was wondering if theres any way to lower/make it more comfortable. Realized my front bumper turn lights don't come on when I turn headlights on, assuming its a fuse or something...f**king hate wires..And does anyone know the radio code? My speakers are blown to shit but some music is better than road noise and f*** paying 50-90$ for the stealership to tell me.

the dealership told me for free... if you take ur head unit out yourself there won't be the "removal fee" and just show them the serial code most likely printed on the bottom sticker

Teggy looks pretty good bro. Im 6'1, honestly, best thing to do without modding is just put the seat back further for leg room and learn a concrete way of how to get out gracefully, especially if you're low lol

:thumbs up on taking off all the "accessories". lol

Try replacing the bulb in your turn light too and see if it's just that. They're pretty cheap to replace.

All your car needs is a paint job, a little attention to detail, as in replacing trim and decals and stuff like that that's become worn and weathered over the years and your car will look soooo sick. I'm telling you. She's a good start because of the inside..

Thanks for all the positive feedback, got a problem now..the oil light will flash on/off, so I checked the dipstick and noticed there weren't any etches to show how high or low the oil is. I bought a qt of oil and poured the whole bottle into the motor and the light blinked on/off again. Going to search this now and hopefully find some answers...
