Integras are overall very solid cars, not a whole lot of problems so you'll be happy.
as with any car once they get a lot of miles on them things will start to go out.

I didnt have any problem with mine till there were 180k miles on it. lol

well im a car freak and im not sure what i really want to do with the car? DD, track, street, etc. I was thinking...

-GSR Swap or
-ITR Swap or
-Auto to Manual conversion or
-LSVtec or
-LS Turbo or
-LS N/A or.....

I drive a modified IS350 and TL Type-S so i cant wait to get my hands on this car. So far i found a deal of a brand new DC Sport strut bar. $95 :) comes in monday!

i wanted to tranny & k20 swap mine for a while but decided it wasnt worth it for the money it would take way too long, but if youve got the cash flow then do what you want.

my main problems, considering that i use my integra for winter also is...
fuel and brake lines get rusty very quickly with salt buildup in winter.
water found in the bottom of the trunk.
usual honda rear quarter panel rust.
leather seats wear out quick.
condensation in headlights.
rear widnshield washer doesnt work.
other than those, DC2 and DC4 integra FTW!!!
167,000 miles running strong.

Common problems with the Integra....

- THEFT
- Rear calipers freezing
- Water in trunk from sunroof and/or taillight gaskets
- Road noise
- LCA Bolts seize
- Crease in arm rest of door panel
- Cup holder/cig lighter/coin tray coming loose
- Actuator for trunk no longer works...have to hold key turned in to open trunk
- Hood latch geeks...can either adjust it or slam your hood 20 times
- Condensation builds up in the headlights over time
- Numerous squeeks from the hatch area
- Disconnect battery...better have the radio code handy
- Antennae will get stuck up one day...or make ALOT of noise coming down
- Cancerous rust on the rear quarterpanels
- Clearcoat flakes off the rims fairly quickly
- Doors stick in the snow/subzero temps
- Push clips holding the entire entire together break really easily
- Black paint on wiper arms will flake off
- Rear washer fluid nozzle will clog and stop working
- Hopefully you dont have tan interior *nyuck nyuck nyuck*
- Bumpers will sag overtime...bolt locations store water during rain/washing
- Turn signal brackets get loose, fall out, strip, etc
- Splash guard on bottom will fall down and drag on the road
- Certain colors fade quickly...IE: Milano Pink or come off with waxing...IE: Phoenix Yellow
- Windows get extremely foggy during rain, MUST use A/C
- Crappy cardboard-looking OEM speakers will tear/pop
- Vent sliders will destroy the insides of the vents so you cant direct airflow side - side
- Cant see the clock when its sunny outside
- OEM hand-jack sucks...will take atleast 10 minutes to lift the car up to a workable level when changing a spare
- Front license plate screw locations will rust
- Fender liners become wavy


Thats all I can think of right now.....

One of the best posts I've come across on the forum. If anyone can correct/re-state the bolded part it would be appreciated.

Additionally:
Brake light comes on when weather is cold (which may be the result of 'Rear calipers freezing')
Defective trunk latch actuator will eventually cause factory alarm warning horn to go off (then shut off after 30 seconds)
Slow power windows, will require routine lubrication with Shin-etsu (low temp/non-high temp) silicone, or risk damaging the regulator ($70+ used)
Seat belt recliner doesn't retract seat belt 'fast'
Driver and eventually passenger side door lock will only move half way, when car is unlocked/locked with the remote/fob

If anyone knows common/unique suspension components that wear out faster than usual, it would be appreciated. Wheel bearings, and ball joints seem to be biggest I've come across.

all the clips become brittle on the car.


wheel bearings and ball joints are wear items and should be replaced on a regular basis.
