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.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
2014 Acura MDX SH-AWD
Thu, 15 May 2014There are certain vehicles on sale today that are affected by what I call 'Camry Syndrome.' Named after Toyota's ubiquitous family hauler, Camry Syndrome affects a fair number of cars and trucks, many of which are exceedingly popular with consumers.
The issue I have with these vehicles is that while they're adequate, they lack ambition. Their looks are clean and reasonably attractive, but they're not particularly stylish, let alone adventuresome or - heaven forbid - polarizing. Their interiors are comfortable and well screwed together, with the sort of popular features that consumers expect at a given price point. Their engines are decently powerful and vocal enough to set the heart very slightly aflutter, yet they're not too thirsty. Their transmissions are invisible and their rides are best described with whatever buzzword synonym Joe Consumer might come up with for "sporty" or "luxurious." In short, they're boring.
In reality, provided they sell well, there's really nothing wrong with automakers building Camry Syndrome vehicles - they're reasonably competent at everything and clearly meet a need. The problem is that I want some aspects of my vehicle to be better than others, because contrast breeds character. I wish someone at Acura felt the way I did when it redesigned this MDX for 2014, because for me, there's so much of this premium crossover that's merely middle of the road.
Acura's MDX SEMA concept took the wrong parts from the NSX GT3
Thu, Oct 27 2016When it comes to SEMA show cars, the more absurd the better, such as with the 1,040-horsepower Bisimoto Hyundai Santa Fe. That's not the case with Acura's custom MDX. This crossover was designed to match the NSX GT3 racecar, and gets a custom trailer to tow it. However, instead of doing something awesome like dropping in the NSX's twin-turbo V6, Acura decided the defining characteristics of the race car were the paint, splitter, and wing. So that's what the MDX and trailer got. In addition to a matching white paint scheme with orange and black accents, the SUV wears a massive front splitter that looks like a shelf stuck close to the ground. It's the only aero modification on the vehicle, and it just looks silly, what with the massive gap between the base of the bumper and the splitter itself. There aren't any performance modifications on this SUV either, except the lowered suspension, so the only thing the splitter is likely to do is break off on the first mildly steep driveway it comes across. To complement the MDX's dubious aero aid, the custom trailer gets a "wing" at the back. Actually, it looks like Acura slapped some endplates on the back to give it a wing look. The trailer also gets running boards that extend the splitter along the side. Maybe it all works together to keep the trailering rig planted. But probably not. If Acura wants suggestions for next time, we suggest a mid-engined MDX, or perhaps one with a wild hybrid system. We'll call this a missed opportunity.
