Up for sale is a 1998 Acura Integra GS-R in supersonic blue pearl. It is a 5-speed, manual, 2 door coupe with 197K miles. Interior is in great shape. Since I bought it in 2012, I put no more than 2,000 miles on it and have not needed to make any mechanical repairs but it's running great for a 15-year old car. AC is working great. I am the 6th owner, the previous owner was unable to give me a service history. It is bone stock with original motor and transmission with the following extras added:
Sunroof -- Alpine CD player with iPod/Aux inputs, removable face -- Front/rear Polk Audio speakers (no tweeters) -- Front/rear Koni Yellow Sport Dampers -- Front/rear Hawk HP Plus Sport/Track brake pads -- Ground Control Adjustable Coilover Conversion Kit (Spring rate = 450 Front / 400 Rear) -- Rear Skunk2 Lower Control Arms -- 15 in White Rota Grid Wheels wrapped in Kumho Ecsta XS tires (205/50R-15) -- Blue NGK Spark Plug Wires -- Acura Type-R Red Valve Cover (OEM) -- AEM Blue CAI system -- Momo Suede racing steering wheel
All the above work has about 1,000 miles. Wheels and tires are in perfect shape. I had intended on making it a track car project but never got that involved with it but could be a good starter if looking to do so. All the original equipment that was removed has been trashed. The car was just inspected and passed, but the airbag (SRS) light still remains on due to switching out the steering wheel. The interior is in really good shape with no rips or tares on the seats or dash. All power windows/locks work fine including sunroof that has no leaks. Could use some new paint. A portion of the rear bumper was melted when a piece of heavy machinery bumped into it. No rust. Clean title. Will provide paper copy and email carfax report if requested.

Acura TSX Sport Wagon on the way out?
Fri, 07 Jun 2013With Acura widely expected to consolidate its TSX and TL sedans into one model line in the near future, the fate of the TSX Sport Wagon is unsurprisingly in doubt. The long-rumored one-for-two sedan replacement is said to be dubbed TLX, and will sit above the Honda Civic-derived ILX, a model that already encroaches on the TSX's pricing and size. According to Ward's Auto, Acura officials are refusing to confirm that today's TSX wagon - effectively a re-schnozzed European-market Accord estate - is facing extinction. Reading the tea leaves, however, things certainly don't look good - the European Accord itself is said to be on the bubble and may not be replaced.
The TSX Sport Wagon was brought to the US as a niche play for the 2011 model year, with Acura of Canada taking a pass on the bodystyle. Officials said at the time that it hoped to shift 4,000 units per annum, roughly a 10-percent sliver of US TSX sales. And while Acura doesn't normally break out the wagon in its sales reports, Autoblog was able to obtain the model's totals for the last two years: the company sold 3,210 Sport Wagons in 2011, improving to 4,234 units last year. The current 2013 model began trickling into showrooms in December, but some dealers are still looking to clear out remaining 2012 models at handsome discounts.
Acura recalling 76,000 TSX sedans in certain cold-weather states
Sun, 24 Mar 2013Parent company Honda is issuing a recall for Acura TSX vehicles from model years 2004 to 2008, for a rather interesting fault with the electrical systems (well, kind of). It seems that TSX made between during that range have carpeting that degrades when it becomes saturated with "corrosive materials for deicing." The carpeting is in contact with each Acura's electronic control unit, which may in turn rust or become corroded as a result. All of that business could cause the engine to stall.
Acura is singling out cars registered in states that use these corrosive deicing materials (presumably road salt): Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified by Honda and instructed to bring their cars into the nearest Acura dealership. Dealers will inspect the ECU for damage, replace if needed, and cover with a waterproof piece; all free of charge. Check out the official recall notice below.
2014 Acura MDX ad campaign the most expensive in brand's history
Mon, 24 Jun 2013Realizing that it must spend more marketing dollars to compete with the more established luxury automakers, Acura is preparing to launch its most expensive ad campaign ever for its redesigned 2014 MDX. At $78 million, according to Advertising Age, the new "Made for Mankind" campaign that kicks off next month is exactly double what Acura spent on the 2013 RDX launch last year. It's also the brand's first cooperation with its new agency, Boston- and Los-Angeles-based Mullen Advertising. Thanks to its bigger budget, we'll be seeing ads for the MDX pop up just about everywhere from television commercials, cinemas and billboards to videos focused on computers and mobile devices.
The first such video is entitled "Human Race," and it enunciates Acura's recent tagline highlight, the synergy between man and machine. More interestingly, the 2014 MDX, which went on sale this month, doesn't make an appearance in the 60-second spot until close to the end. This video is posted below as well as a press release from Acura along with images of various ads we should start soon.
