    Many months ago I started searching for my old DB1 (story)

    It's quite a shame... When you build your car it is only appreciated by you. Not the person who buys it... To them it's just a car, To us it's a car we've spent days and nights tinkering with it, waxing it, laughing and crying over it. It's more than a car... It's an extension of ourselves. I...

    Many months ago I started searching for my old DB1 (story)

    In late 2005 (I was about 16) I came across a Craigslist add for a 1990 Acura Integra GS Sedan 5 speed, They were asking $3500 or trade for a Automatic 4cylinder of equal, greater value if not add cash on top. I at the time had a 1991 Acura Integra GS Sedan Automatic... Looking at the pictures...

    Whole new exhaust! Say, what?

    Stop being poor... Or save a while for a good system because those cheap parts you are looking at (and already bought some) will not last long, especially if you drive it in snow. I would say 1 more winter and it will be falling apart. Good parts test their products and made out of durable...

    eBay Cold Air Intake

    K&N filters don't start filtering until the filter is dirty. An intake hose is an intake hose, The only difference from my old days with a ebay and AEM intake, The pipe on the intake was always cold when the pipe on the ebay would get hot. I think it's the different type of metal they use...

    Laundry List of problems...any help would be appreciated!

    An alternator can be running at less than the required 12 volts which will be enough to help keep the car alive but not fully charge the battery, Had it happen to my friends Infiniti once. But your right that it would set off the battery/alternator light... There could also be a ground behind...

    Laundry List of problems...any help would be appreciated!

    Strange about power returning after beating up the interior a bit. Sounds like a lose power somewhere... But, I'm going to guess the alternator took a dump on you... The battery is only used to start the car and run an alarm system. If your alternator has gone bad, it will not charge the...

    Prostreetonline i think, I don't think they are in business anymore... I haven't had an integra for 5 years and it's been about 6 or 7 since the HID's.

    Why do Maxima drivers think there top s***?

    I come across more Honda fanboi's than I do Maxima fanboi's... So, A friend of yours with a Maxima found someone who likes Maxima's to talk about (probably has or had one similar) and you say they think they are top s*** because they wouldn't discuss Honda's or VTEC with you?.

    Trunk Leak Gen 2

    For the trunk leak, The 3 most common areas have been mentioned... For under the glove box, that is a cowl leak... The black plastic panel outside, under the windshield where the wiper arms are... The gaskets shrink or the plastic cracks. The only way to fix that is to replace all the gaskets...

    Should i swap the motor if my transmission goes out

    Your original motor was a B18A1, So yes it was swapped for a 94-01 B18B... It's safe to assume that the mileage is lower than the odometer reads. You don't have to change the engine if the transmission goes out, The transmission and engine are 2 different units and a grind is just a gear. If...

    Post your quick release/steering wheel setup.

    Back in the day... I had a NRG short hub and a basic QR. For G2's the short hub does not fit flush, I had about an inch gap between the end of the hub and the steering column that I just covered with a piece of plastic trim that I had from the old ebay generic hub that stripped and ended up...

    No start, going crazy now....

    Have you tested the starter? Take it out and go to vatozone or O'Reillys and have them test it out... Could also be the relay in the center/behind the dash (forgot what it's called), ignition switch or the clutch interlock switch

    Ayrton Senna’s 1993 Honda NSX

    British use pounds, Not euro... It's close, But i think we used the same calculator just different currency

    Ayrton Senna’s 1993 Honda NSX

    If money was no object I would probably pay a bit more for a bit of it's historical importance... Senna was pretty important in the development of the NSX as well as a great and famous race car driver. It's a common name to be heard when talking about Formula One. But it would need to directly...

    Brz/fr-s vs. Itr

    Toyota Altezza = Lexus IS, Scion FR-S = Toyota GT86... Think of Toyota as the boss as they are, They develop a car and choose which emblem to put on the hood as Honda does the same thing (Accord Euro R = TSX) As you said "That's the main problem I have with the BRZ, it's kinda soulless, it...

    Brz/fr-s vs. Itr

    I didn't get upset, Just pointing the flaws in your "thoughts"... So, The NSX and Integra is Acura and not Honda by that standard. Akio Toyoda personally chose the people to develop the LFA and his company paid for it. So to say Lexus is Lexus and Toyota is Toyota is a completely inaccurate way...

    Brz/fr-s vs. Itr

    So every car journalist that has driven everything from Lamborghini's to Prius'... Such as Chris Harris, Jeremy Clarkson and the people at fifth gear, Motortrend, Roadandtrack, autobytel, Cnet, Thefastlane, the smoking tire etc... Are all wrong? Here's an interesting video comparison...
