New guy here. I just picked up a 2001 Integra LS about a week ago. I found the car in Indianapolis. It was driven by some old lady; it currently has just over 59,400 miles. My last car was a 2009 Mazdaspeed3, so this one has about half as much power :lol:

I'm not sure what (if anything) I'll end up doing to this car. It will either be one of two paths: I'll either keep it pretty stock and drive it until the wheels fall off in another 200,000+ miles OR go turbo, probably shooting for 275-325 whp. I've already looked through the FI section and a bunch of those threads. There's a ton of good info in there; I'm just trying to soak it all in. This will be my DD for the next six or seven months, but I'll pick up a CRV or something by the end of the year to be my winter car/DD.

Here's a few pictures I snapped earlier today. We finally had some good weather.

Very clean. Clean up those headlights. Either get a restoration kit, or put some toothpaste on a wet rag and buff it, them rinse dry and wax the headlights,
Edit:
The pics might just make the lights look dirty. Not sure, but if they are. Clean them. Lol

The headlights look fine to me...

But wow. An all-stock, never abused, low mileage integras are getting harder and harder to find nowadays. I would keep it all stock, just to preserve the value of the car, but its your car man. Do whatever you want to it.

Thanks for the comments guys. The lights do have a little bit of oxidation, so I'll definitely look into getting those cleaned up. May try the toothpaste on there, I watched a few videos on youtube and they all had good results.

I had a little bit of free time this afternoon, so I figured I'd do something to clear up the headlights. I was going to just use toothpaste, but figured I could spare $5 on this stuff:



Here's the passenger side before (just the high beams...I forgot to snap a picture before testing it on the low beams):



the after:



driver's side before:



after:



Any idea how long the results will last for?

Well, I used toothpaste about 6 months ago and its still pretty clear. Put sime wax on them now and you should be good for a long time depending on the weather around you. The lights look great. I might pic some of that stuff up tomorrow.

Not long depending on where you live, Mine get dirty in like 2 weeks but I live in high humidity, You should seal them to be sure, Unfortunately I can't remember what you seal them with, Someone else here knows though, lol.

Nice teg! I've never seen that color before, really like it.
