1996 Acura Integra Gsr Itr Clipped, Rare B17a1 Db8 on 2040-cars
Danville, Virginia, United States
1996 Integra GS-R sedan, true DB8 with approx. 180K miles. It has a JDM ITR cluster that reads in kilometers. This is an extremely clean car, NO RUST, clean title, no wrecks, clean auto report with the exception of the mileage inaccuracy from the JDM cluster swap. It's not perfect, but it's a rare car with the rare B17A1 from a 93 GS-R. The donor car had 120K when it was hit in the rear. Mods: FRESH (under 100 miles) B17A1 completely rebuilt with Honda OEM parts by a Honda master tech (receipts for parts included), Weapon-R one piece 4-2-1 header, Apex-i catback, Fidanza lightweight flywheel, Skunk2 1.75" drop springs, KYB AGX adjustable shocks, Blox upper control arms, Blox rear camber kit, Blox gold rear lower control arms, slotted/drilled rotors, Tenzo R rear tie bar, Prothane rear control arm bushings,DB6 JDM front end coversion, RARE JDM door visors, Nighthawk Black Pearl paint, 16" Konig Remember wheels, 30% tint, shaved rear antennae, Type-R carpet, Type-R floor mats, Type-R Momo steering wheel, Type-R JDM cluster, Viper 5000 alarm with LCD pager system 1 mile radius, stealth kill switch, Hydro Dipped Zombie spark plug cover & intake tube. All new fluids, new tires, and new battery installed. The engine has less than 100 miles on the rebuild and I have babied it. The engine had a COMPLETE overhaul from top to bottom. No short cuts were taken and only Honda OEM parts were used. It runs and sounds perfect. Negatives: It is still running the stock P72 ECU and is throwing the check engine light the for O2 sensor from the race headers. The windshield has a crack, passenger axle clicks some (new driver side), passenger fender has some slight dents that could be repaired, holes (sealed) from the factory wing, its an 18 year old car and not perfect. The AC is hooked up but not producing cold air. I have an extra compressor that will go with it in case that is the problem. The power steering system is all there but the B17 is still running the two drive crank pulley and would need a three drive from a B16, B18 or B20 to use the power steering again. I'm asking $5,000 or best offer. My "reserve" price is well below my asking price and will be my bottom dollar. I'm not interested in trades. The buyer will responsible for pickup and shipping (Danville, Va.) Cash in person is the prefered method of payment. Thank you. |

2014 Acura RLX
Tue, 19 Nov 2013Earlier in the year, I reviewed a powder-blue Volkswagen Beetle Convertible, and I witnessed a group of high-school-aged girls ogling the car as it sat in my driveway. In my head, I found it to be a funny-yet-fitting scene that I didn't think of again until a 2014 Acura RLX showed up in my driveway. This time around, an elderly neighborhood couple stopped to give the big Acura sedan a closer look. The RLX is trying to shed past stereotypes of its predecessor, the Acura RL, just like the Beetle. Hoping to avoid becoming the de facto "grandpa car," Acura has completely reworked - and renamed - its flagship sedan.
As the bookend to the new entry-level ILX, the addition of the 2014 RLX might give Acura its strongest sedan lineup ever as the automaker looks to break the cycle of being a middle-of-the-road luxury brand. Stepping up to the big-boy table isn't going to be easy, though, as the competition keeps getting tougher. Forget cars like the Mercedes E-Class and BMW 5 Series, the Acura RLX is going to have its hands full with the likes of the Cadillac XTS, Lexus GS and Hyundai Genesis, not to mention a strong consortium of lower-priced, mid-luxury sedans like the Hyundai Azera, Toyota Avalon and Chevy Impala. The one thing all of these cars have in common is a reputation for being an old man cruiser.
I spent a week with the new RLX to see if it could shake the stigma of its outdated predecessor or if it would just leave me searching for the nearest early bird specials.
2021 Acura TLX A-Spec Long-Term Update | How's it handle?
Thu, Apr 8 2021A couple of months have passed since we took delivery of our new 2021 Acura TLX A-Spec long-term tester, and the miles are starting to pile on — the odometer just clicked past 6,000. I was particularly eager to get behind the wheel of our TLX, as my first go-round in AcuraÂ’s new sports sedan left me feeling good about where Acura was headed with this car. That said, I only spent about an hour in the saddle during my first drive experience, and that time was on unfamiliar roads. The stint I just completed was a full month, and in that time I treated the TLX as if I owned it. So much so, that I completed the same mini road trip with it that I took in my 2001 Acura Integra GS-R last fall. The destination was southern Indiana, an unexpected but heavenly place to test the handling of a car. Just go south or east from Bloomington, Ind., on the squiggly lines you see on Google Maps. I promise you wonÂ’t be disappointed. Photo evidence of both trips below, including my friendÂ’s Alfa Romeo Giulia(s). The TLX was an absolute peach on the hundreds of miles of winding pavement. Despite its BMW 5 Series size, the TLX handles like a compact car. Its chassis is rigid and unbending through every kind of corner. This isnÂ’t the Type S (nor is it an Advance trim with the adaptive dampers), but itÂ’s all the chassis you could want on a backroad. ThereÂ’s enough give from the dampers to smooth out the bad spots, but itÂ’s dialed in to provide unwavering stability in big weight transfers, too. Acura struck a happy balance. Credit for this carÂ’s poise under stress on less-than-ideal roads should also be given to the new independent double wishbone front suspension design. You can sense it sorting out dips and changes in the road as youÂ’re battling through a rough corner. The big 255-section-width tires stay confidently glued to the pavement, communicating grip levels through the wheel and chassis as you go. The super-quick steering ratio from the new electric rack does a decent job of simulating road feel, but the best part about it is the rackÂ’s sheer speed. Acura takes full advantage of this sedanÂ’s rigid chassis with that quick, precise turn-in. ItÂ’s not quite as fast as the Alfa Romeo GiuliaÂ’s energetic steering, but the end result is a car that changes direction the moment your brain decides it wants to. What really ties this carÂ’s handling together is AcuraÂ’s torque-vectoring SH-AWD system.
Acura puts on display of mechanical horsepower in new ad
Tue, 11 Feb 2014Originally forged with a brand identity based on luxury, sportiness and practicality, Acura has spent the last decade or so struggling with its image. The sporting credibility suffered a mighty blow with the loss of cars like the Integra, RSX and NSX, and recent years have seen the Japanese company attempting to recast itself as a technology leader.
All of that makes this latest Acura commercial, Let The Race Begin, even more difficult to understand, metaphorically speaking. The horsepower-horse race 'theme' certainly isn't difficult to fathom, with mecca-equine versions of popular luxury brands filling the screen. But the choice to make Acura's filly a flesh-and-blood creation seems odd, for the high-tech theme. Acura as "thoroughbred apart from the rest of the field" seems to be the rough message here, though we're not sure we're buying it. We're also not sure we're comfortable with how much these ponies reminded us of a certain off-putting robotic dog...
Looks expensive, at any rate. Watch the robot ponies run for yourself, below.
