Faults:

I had put an incredible amount of milage on this car for the amount of time I drove it. I had to do a lot of work to it just for maintenance sake. I didn't know the previous owner that well so I didn't guess on the basic maintenance, I just did what I could think of. Things like belts, hoses, tune-up, oil, coolant, transmission fluid, brakes, Bulbs...

The only things I HAD to change was the distributor (the cam sensor went bad and it was in the distributor) and shocks (Bottoming out wasn't comfortable). The computer gave me a bad code for the cam sensor after the car had stalled on the highway so a rebuilt distributor was in order.

General Comments:

I didn't like the car at first (loved my Volvo 740 turbo. Safe and fast) But once I started to drive it on a daily basis, I grew very fond of the quick pickup and how nimble it was. Now I know why people love Civics and Teggies.

Still a lot of work needs to be done like the timing belt (If you don't' know how long it been in there, change it for bent valves and holes in the piston may occur) and valve lash adjustments.

When I gather up some cash, Headers, exhaust, and a suspension upgrade will be first on my list.

Faults:

The only problem I have had with my car is the rust in the back wheel wells and the surface rust on the back quarter panels.

General Comments:

I love this car.

It is so sporty and quick, yet still reliable.

I will drive it till it dies!

Faults:

Replace clutch at 95,000 km's.

Replaced ignition coil at 105,000 km's.

Replaced brakes (pads, rotors, and calipers) at 120,000 due to previous owner neglect - otherwise just pads.

Replaced alternator at 135,000.

General Comments:

This car is fun to drive, gets great gas mileage, and is very reliable. It fired up at -40 degrees without being plugged in on numerous occasions.

I honestly believe that if someone hadn't have hit me, that I could drive this car to 350,000 - 400,000 km's with merely maintenance repairs.

Faults:

Front rotors, brakes, 50% of the exhaust system, rear defroster, and clutch.

I knew when I bought the car that it needed some repairs. It was supposed to be a second car for my wife but I ended up driving it. I was amazed! This car drove, performed, and had better comfort than our 1997 Saturn SC1. I love this car, it is a blast to drive and the engine is wonderful when you push it over 6000 RPM. I taught my wife to drive it like it should be driven. She now regularly pushes it to the redline and blows away nearly everyone. My only concern is that the car will rust away before the engine dies.

I drool whenever I see a Type R "Yellow Please!"

Faults:

The brake rotors are very prone to warping. I bought aftermarket Brembo Crossdrilled rotors, in the stock size and haven't had the problem since. The timing belt must also be changed at around 40,000 mile intervals.

General Comments:

The Integra is a very good economy car with an excellent engine. With regular oil changes and normal service the car will last as long as you want it to.
