1997 Acura Integra Gs Hatchback 3-door 1.8l on 2040-cars
Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for sale is my 1997 Acura Integra project. I bought this car from a person I knew at work. The car had 376K on it when I bought it. Four months after I owned it, the transmission started grinding while idling and stopped. It sounds like a bad bearing, possibly the main input shaft. Then about a month later, the engine started to overheat. I stopped and poured more coolant in it to try and limp it home, but it kept pouring out the more I put in. I got it off the main highway before it gave up the ghost. The engine does not run. The engine and transmission are still in the car, but both of them need rebuilt/replaced, and are not operational. The body has very little rust, especially for being a northeast car, so I decided to keep it, strip it down, and build a road course track car out of it. After a long layoff over winter, a wife, kids and a mortgage, I decided to sell my project since I won't have the resources to build the car the way I want to for quite some time. I had a goal to get the completed car down to a curb weight of 2000 lbs., hence the reason for all the removal of various components. Included in the sale are four working halo headlights and a Seibon carbon fiber EVO hood. It has a crack in the rear corner on the passenger side, and one underneath in the middle near the back. I was told these could be epoxied. It also has a faded/scratched finish. My plans were to fix the cracks and then spray it whatever color I painted the rest of the car. The paint that is on the car now is a respray from around 2008, and it has a lot of scratches and flaws. I have removed the ABS system and front brake calipers and lines, the axles and both airbags, sunroof, obviously the entire interior, and too many other parts to list. I chipped all of the sound deadening off the floors by hand, and cut out any unnecessary metal brackets that were used to mount the airbags, spare tire and back seats. The back seats, spare tire and airbag system cannot be used in this car. There is some minor surface rust in the spare tire well, a small spot in the front driver side corner of the sunroof opening, a small spot on the rear wheel opening on the passenger side, and a little rust on the upper frame rails inside the front fenders. Please see the pictures. The undercarriage is very clean, floors are excellent. The hatch and doors are also in great shape, no rust. I have many parts in storage for the car, but what you see pictured is what you get. If you decide to buy the car, I will sell other pieces and parts for it very cheap, but this auction is for what you see pictured only! This is basically a rolling shell with a good body. Again, this is a NON-RUNNING, NON-DRIVING PROJECT/PARTS CAR WITH MANY MISSING PARTS. WHAT YOU SEE PICTURED IS WHAT YOU GET IN THE SALE. PICK UP ONLY. I have a clear title for the car in hand. The winning bidder will need to make a $100 deposit through PayPal at auctions end, the rest due in cash in person. Thanks for looking.

Acura recalling 43k MDX and RLX models over seatbelt issue
Tue, 14 Oct 2014If you've ever lived in a wintery climate, you may have noticed something strange: no, not the perilously enticing sparkle of cold metal in the sunlight or the way your warm breath suddenly becomes visible in the frigid air, but the way your seatbelt seems increasingly reluctant to retract as the temperature drops. Acura, however, has found the problem more serious than a minor inconvenience, and is recalling some 43,000 vehicles across the United States to address the issue.
The recall in question affects about 7,000 RLX sedans (from the 2014 model year) and another 36,000 MDX crossovers (covering the 2014 and 2015 model years) to have their front seatbelts replaced. In the affected vehicles and in very low temperatures, Acura has found that "the driver's and front passenger's seatbelts may not release from the retracted position." Needless to say, seatbelts that can't be used don't offer any protection in the event of an accident, so the Japanese automaker is notifying owners and dealers to hook up to have those seatbelts replaced.
Toyota tops Consumer Reports best, worst used car values
Tue, 18 Mar 2014We often mock Toyota for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by Consumer Reports suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, Honda/Acura had the second most mentions at six, and Ford, Hyundai and Subaru managed two each.
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. Consumer Reports compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." General Motors had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but Chrysler and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade. The full list of recommendations is available on CR's website.
2015 Acura TLX is all too familiar, despite its new tricks [w/videos]
Wed, 16 Apr 2014I'm confident in saying that the 2015 Acura TLX, revealed today at the New York Auto Show, will be a perfectly nice car to drive. It'll be nice to sit in, with plenty of luxurious amenities. It'll be... fine. And for Acura, "fine" is apparently good enough.
I say that because while the TLX is an all-new offering (it replaces both the TL and TSX), it hardly shakes up the Acura formula we've come to accept over the past few years. It looks like everything else in the automaker's lineup, complete with the neat LED headlamps and signature beaked grille. Power comes from either a 2.4-liter naturally aspirated inline-four with 206 horsepower, or a 3.5-liter V6 with 290 hp - engines we've tested in countless other Honda/Acura products. The front-wheel-drive version uses the Precision All-Wheel Steer (P-AWS) from the RLX, and high-end V6 models use the Super-Handling All-Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) that we've enjoyed across the rest of the Acura range. Really, there's nothing to write home about here, except maybe, how that power is sent to the wheels.
Acura is finally - finally - moving beyond the world of the six-speed transmission, offering a new eight-speed, dual-clutch gearbox with the 2.4-liter engine, and a swanky new nine-speed automatic with the 3.5-liter V6. This is arguably the biggest news surrounding the TLX, though do note, fuel economy hasn't vastly been improved in the process. The TLX 2.4 musters up 24 miles per gallon in the city and 35 mpg highway, while the front-drive V6 is rated at 21/34 mpg. Optioning for the V6 SH-AWD reduces things to 21/31 mpg.
