"WELL OVER $25,000.00 INVESTED IN ALL CUSTOM WORK AND BMW PARTS"
(NOT INCLUDING ACTUAL VEHICLE VALUE)
*Be certain to read ALL of the features written all over this listing.  ALL of the customized features are NOT listed only here under the "description", so be sure to read EVERYWHERE and EVERYTHING in ths listing so you are aware of all of the custom work that has been done.  There are SO MANY customized things about this car, it would take up too much space here. I am saying this because there are other areas while I was setting up this listing where I had to list ALL options and features.  At this point of setting up the listing, I just do not know where all of these things are going to end up being posted.  Also, very important for you to be aware, is that I purchased this car the way you see it. I personally did NOT do any of the customized work on this vehicle.  The only thing I have done since purchasing this car was normal maintenance.  I also ONLY USE "FULLY SYNTHETIC OIL" for every single oil change!  It is more expensive, but well worth it, especially for this "engine sent from engine"!  Unfortunately, since I did not do ANY of the work on this car, nor do I know how to do ANY of this type of work, I may be unable to answer certain questions that you may have regarding anything to do with specifics on the customization process of this car.  

I am also open to "any" offer, but please do me a huge favor and do not insult my intelligence by making an offer that is obviously not fair and too low.  I will only review REALISTIC OFFERS.

The front end, rear end and side rear view mirrors were all used from an actual BMW vehicle.  This is why most people that see the car think that it is a BMW.  He also used true OEM "BMW" badges on both the front and the rear of the vehicle.  My honest opinion when I first purchased the car, I also thought that it was some type of a BMW vehicle.  After I purchased the car, I purchased chrome letters and numbers to put on the car for a "made up" model number!! LOL!! These can obviously be removed if you do not want a model number on the vehicle.

This car drives, runs and handles EXTREMELY WELL.  For such a small engine, this car is SUPER FAST!!!  This is due to the fact that this vehicle has the RARE GS-R Model and the VTECH ENGINE.  Also, having a manual transmission helps a lot too!  This car is also extremely FUN TO DRIVE.  You will never get sick of driving this car.

Also be prepared that this car is a "REAL HEAD TURNER"!!  When I stop at traffic lights, people have taken photos from their cell phones.  People pull up next to me and wants to ask me a million questions about the car (while at a red light don't forget!  LOL!!).  Also, whenever I have to leave the car or get into the car and people see the door lift straight up, instead of "out" like all other cars, they go literally crazy!  I would say that the Chameleon $12k paint job brings the most attention to the car. Depending on how the light hits the car, it has three (3) different colors (BLUE/PURPLE/EMERALD GREEN.  The bottom line is when you see and drive this car you truly will only then understand how truly special this car really is.  If you do NOT like "attention" then I highly recommend that you do NOT purchase this car! LOL!  You are going to get a HUGE AMOUNT OF ATTENTION no matter what you do.

Since the car's suspension is using Nitrogen Air along with the switch box (controls exactly which part of the car you want raised and/or lowered), you will need to have the canisters re-filled once they run out of air.  I will provide you with two (2) tanks upon the delivery of the car.  When I purchased the car, I was only given one (1) canister and then later purchased a second one.  This makes it a lot easier and less of a hassle to have the tank(s) re-filled as often.  The person I purchased the car from advised me that whenever he would "show" the car at a Car Show, he would DROP THE CAR ALL OF THE WAY TO THE GROUND, which makes it look extremely cool (you should NEVER drive the car in this low of a position.  He also advised me that he would change it up every once in a while, for example, he would have the rear end up high and the front end down really low, or the other way around, and have the front end up really high and the back end really low.  The great thing about having this air suspension is that you are able to customize the "lift" of the car at the touch of a button anytime!  You should also NEVER change the suspension level while driving the car.  Any suspension adjustments should be completed while the car is stopped and turned off (for safety reasons).

It is also really cool how people always ask me "what BMW is that"? or "what the heck kind of car is that"?  Believe me, you will get a million questions wherever you go with this car, especially if you have to open one or both of the doors on the car, because both doors open straight up instead of straight "out" like most cars. Once people see you get our or get into the car and have to open the door, you are pretty much guaranteed to get over loaded with people surrounding you, taking pictures with their cell phones, asking you questions, etc. etc.  Honestly, if I am in a rush to go anywhere, there are times that I use a different regular car so that I am not held up with people.

The person I purchased the car from also installed some type of "Cold Air Intake" in the engine.  He advised me that it increases the power "big time".  Since I do not know much about cars or engines in general, I really have no idea what this added feature is and do not know exactly how it improves the overall performance of the car.  He also advised me that due to the installation of this Cold Air Intake, it makes certain lights on the dashboard light up, such as the "check engine" light and a few others. He told me that he was unable to hook this part up into the engine without these lights turning on the dashboard. He assumed that since the part was not installed by the manufacturer nor made by Acura (Honda), it will not accept it in the engine's computer.  To be honest, I was a little worried about the "check engine" light being on, along with some others, but now, after owning the car and driving it for so long, I now know that there is absolutely nothing wrong that I was made aware of.

There is SO MUCH MORE to write about this car that I could literally write a book! So, I will leave you with what I have already written and the photos for you to study.

This is truly a "once in a lifetime" opportunity to own an EXTREMELY RARE AND WANTED Acura/BMW Integra GS-R Edition.  You will NEVER be able to locate this EXTREMELY RARE VEHICLE at this low of a price again!!!  Especially since it has under ONLY 70k original miles!!!

VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION THAT INCREASES THE OVERALL VALUE OF THIS VEHICLE:
Only 16% of ALL of the Acura Integra vehicles manufactured in 1998 have the GS-R Edition Engine with the "(VTECH) Vortec Engine"!!!  I would think that this alone makes this car at least double or triple in value!  Just think, obviously, anything that is extremely rare and hard to find increases the value automatically, in mostly any case, not just in cars alone, but in anything else also.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD "NEED" TO SELL THIS VEHICLE FOR THE REST OF MY ENTIRE LIFE!  This truly is killing me to be in this position to have to sell my most important item in my life.  I have been going through a 6 year divorce and have already spent over $300k between myself and my mother in order to get custody of my children.  How can you place a price tag on a child's head? The answer is you CAN'T!!!  My Mother just recently passed away in January after a long fight with cancer.  My Mother actually sold her "paid in full" home and used ALL of the money towards this divorce!  On top of that, myself and my Mother have accrued a ton of credit card debt.  Now that she has passed away, our Final Divorce hearing is finally coming up VERY SOON!  We have also finally hit "rock bottom" financially and I do not have a choice but to sell my car for a lot less than it is really worth.  Our original plan was to use my Mother's credit cards for the Final Hearing.  Now that she is no longer here, I am unable to use those credit cards to pay for the rest of this divorce hearing.  Therefore, the ONLY things that I have left worth any money is this vehicle and a very small amount of jewelry of my Mothers.  There also was NO LIFE INSURANCE.  It is now just myself and my three (3) children left.  I am currently on temporary disability until I am finally able to have an operation to repair a Severe Chronic Pain situation that I have been living with for many years.

The reason I am telling you all of this is so that you understand and and most important "believe" the reason for the sale and why the price is SOOOOOOO LOW!

If you have ANY questions and/or concerns, please be sure to email me PRIOR to placing any bids or purchasing the vehicle.  Again, I will only seriously consider any Best Offers that do not insult my intelligence and are offers that are realistic. 

GOOD LUCK!!

* The car does need some fiberglass work on the front and rear end.  I apologize, but since I do not know pretty much anything about cars at all, I am not able to provide you with exact details regarding any of the exterior and interior work that needs to be completed.  Keep in mind that when I purchased this car, I purchased it "AS IS" and ALL of the customized work had already been done.  To be honest, it really does not matter what repairs the car needs because the price is SO LOW that no matter how much it would cost to make this car look like it just drove off of the "NEW CAR" lot, there is still a ton of profit left over to actually be able to purchase another very nice car!  IMPORTANT:  I would suggest for you to review the full "DESCRIPTION" of the condition of the vehicle and most importantly, is for you to review ALL of the photos for as long as you wish!

p.s. Please also be aware that in the photos of the exterior of the car, the front hood was opened, and was NOT (out of line of the car).  The hood was opened because I was trying to work on connecting a cable to the front hood so that it can be opened "under" the front of the car (and hidden from site 100%) in case of an emergency and need to gain access to the car's battery and entry into the car (since there are no door handles).  Or if there is an emergency and need to gain access to the car, you can always open the hatchback and get inside of the vehicle.  I never even thought about this issue when I purchased the car!  Once I realized that the only way to get inside of a "regular" car is by using the door handles, I had to make sure that there were other options to gain entry.

PAYMENT:  Vehicle is to be picked up at the time of full payment being made to the seller (myself).  Buyer agrees that immediately upon the winning of this auction you will pay the $500.00 non-refundable deposit using PayPal ONLY.  Upon coming to pick up the vehicle the full balance must be paid in full using either CASH (suggested use), Cashier's Check, Money Order or PayPal ONLY. NO PERSONAL CHECKS WILL BE EXCEPTED.  There are no returns or refunds after the sale is completed.

SHIPPING:  The buyer agrees to pick up the car within 5-7 days or sooner after the ending of the auction.  The seller will NOT pay for any delivery of this vehicle or ANY other associated costs involved with the delivery of the car to the buyer.  If Buyer wants to have car shipped anywhere, it must be in the USA ONLY and at the cost of the buyer only. The costs must be added to the winning bid amount.  Seller is willing to speak with you regarding the delivery of the car, but the car MUST BE PAID IN FULL PRIOR TO HAVING THE CAR SHIPPED ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED STATES.  I am a very "open" person to suggestion, so if you have any ideas or concerns about having the car delivered, please email me in advance prior to the ending of the auction so that there is sufficient time to work out something before the auction ends and it is then too late.  Please understand that I am not interested in delivering the vehicle anywhere and only want the vehicle picked up by the new owner or whoever is going to pay for the vehicle.  The clear car title is here, and will need to be signed by both the seller (myself) and the buyer.

Again, if you have any questions and/or concerns feel free to email me anytime and I will get back to you immediately.  Please be certain to ask any questions or take care of any concerns PRIOR to placing any bids/offers or use the "Buy it Now" option.

Honda demonstrates new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian safety tech [w/video]

Fri, 30 Aug 2013

We're fresh from a balmy rooftop deck in downtown Detroit, where Honda held a meeting this week to discuss and demonstrate a few upcoming advanced safety features. A clear focus of the mini event was the company's new Vehicle-to-Pedestrian (V2P) technology, with a suite of Vehicle-to-Motorcycle (V2M) tech a significant second course.
With spirits still high from announcing the 2014 Odyssey as the first minivan to win the Top Safety Pick+ status from IIHS - and after seeing the application of new high-strength-steel sections of the Acura MDX body structure - Honda shared the fruits of some safety tech that is still in the research phase.

2022 Acura MDX revealed with official pricing and specs

Tue, Dec 8 2020

The 2022 Acura MDX has finally been unveiled in production guise, and no surprise, it looks just like the prototype that was shown a couple months ago. Inside and out, there doesn't seem to be any difference. It also turns out that most of the details given regarding the prototype are the same for the production car. But we do have some more details and specifications, and we even have pricing. The MDX is completely redesigned from the ground-up. It is the first vehicle to use a new platform for light-truck use, and is not shared with the also recently redesigned Acura TLX sedan. There are similarities, though, as the MDX has a double-wishbone front suspension and multilink independent rear suspension as the TLX has. Acura notes that the chassis is the stiffest crossover/SUV chassis the company has ever created. Acura also added larger front brake rotors; they're 1.2 inches larger in diameter. It's a bigger body than the previous MDX, too. It's 2.2 inches longer overall, with a 2.8-inch longer wheelbase. It's 1.4 inches wider than the old model, and is about half an inch taller. The proportions have changed significantly with a longer dash-to-axle ratio that gives the new MDX the look of a rear-drive vehicle. The hood is more horizontal, adding length visually. The sheet metal is clean and smooth with only a handful of creases and pieces of trim adorning it. As for the interior, the design is very similar to the TLX and RDX with chunky, curvy panels. Six different leather colors are available, with the selection varying by trim package. Ambient lighting with 27 different color combinations is also available, and besides the combinations based on the drive modes, they're all named after race tracks and roads such as Suzuka and Route 66. Only one seating combination is available and it's unique. Rather than offering a choice of a second-row bench seat or captain's chairs, the new MDX effectively offers both. It has a second-row bench in which the middle seat can fold down to provide a large center console, or it can be removed entirely to provide access to the two-seat third-row bench. This versatility means every MDX can hold seven passengers. The third-row bench has also gained 2.4 inches of leg room, and the seat sits another 1.4-inches off the floor, all of which should make the way-back more comfortable. Not only that, but cargo space has increased.

CES 2022 was huge for EVs | Autoblog Podcast #711

Fri, Jan 7 2022

In this episode of the Autoblog Podcast, Editor-in-Chief Greg Migliore is joined by Senior Editor, Green, John Beltz Snyder. CES took place this week, and there were some nice electric surprises from automakers, especially General Motors. John has been driving the Ram 1500 Power Wagon, as well as what seems to be its polar opposite, the electric Mini Cooper SE. Greg talks about the differences between the Acura TLX A-Spec long-termer (which is back in the shop) and the Type S loaner that's filling in for it. John's also got some interesting thoughts on leather interiors. Finally, the editors reach into the mailbag and help a repeat customer decide on a suitable replacement for a 2008 Lexus GX 470 in this week's Spend My Money segment.
