Vehicle Information 

For sale is my 1997 Acura Integra RS with a stock engine and transmission. This vehicle DOES NOT RUN. All payments are final. The vehicle is being sold  as is. The tachometer is in Kilometers and the gauge says 327190 KM which works out to be 202306 miles. The condition of the vehicle has NOT been diagnosed by an automotive professional however my best guess, and novice opinion, is that the timing belt broke. This may have been due to a missing chip in the harmonic balancer pulley, (crank shaft pulley), which caused the timing belt to give out. No parts have been removed from the vehicle. All lights work, all of the gauges work, the radio and all speakers work (just needed a new antenna), the transmission was in good condition as far as I could tell, HOWEVER, this may have changed based off of the condition of the engine.

There is a large dent in the hood/bumper on the passenger side which is starting to rust where the paint cracked. There is additional rust on each rear rocker panels just forwards of the rear wheals. There is a dent on the driver side door. and the paint on the rear bumper has started to peal and chip.

The interior is in relatively good condition given the car age and miles. Since this was one of the last remaining positive features of the vehicle, I tried to keep it clean and in good condition. The majority of the interior is black, with dark cloth seats. The car has been modified slightly, it has Eibach lowering springs, a cold air intake with an Amsoil air filter and a Magna Flow catalytic converter.

The car may be best used for parts, or with a new engine, it may run again. I MUST state that I do NOT know the full extent of the condition or damages to the engine, transmission, or ANY other part of the car. I strongly encourage you to ask as many questions as possible, and I will do my best to answer them correctly, however I must state again that I am NOT an automotive professional.  


Please e-mail me with any questions! Serious bidders and questions only! If serious about purchasing the vehicle, I can provide you with my phone number to discuss any details. 

NO negotiations or haggling will be allowed after auction close. All sales are final!


Payment and Pick Up Details:

I will only accept PayPal, and cashiers checks or money orders as a payment method. Upon Purchase of the vehicle, a deposit of $450.00 dollars must be made through PayPal within 48 hours of auction close; If there is a remaining balance, it will be paid via cashiers check or money order at the time of pick up. Pickup of the vehicle must be arranged for no later than 7 days of auction close (preferably a weekend, or late evening). All sales are final! No refunds will be offered for any reason- the vehicle comes as is.

The car will have to be towed off of the property at the buyers expense, (vehicle resides at a residential address). To get a more accurate towing quote, you may use Mundelein High School as a destination, (actual towing cost may be different from that which was quoted, buyer is responsible for all costs, even if greater than what was quoted). I will need the name and best contact phone number for the towing company that you choose in order to verify pick up. The Mundelein Police Department will also be notified of the final transaction for security purposes.

Acura NSX will use Cosworth block, plus other neat tidbits

Sat, Aug 15 2015

The blue NSX you see here was built just two weeks ago. Prototype number six, it rolled off Acura's newest assembly line in Ohio and was rushed out to the Monterey peninsula for various car week activities. We had a chance to sit down with several members of the NSX team to discuss the car, the long road from concept to production, and some interesting details. Below are some choice bits from our conversations. Acura is pretty proud of the fact that NSX version 2.0 was designed and is being built in the US. The new assembly line, called the Performance Manufacturing Center, is in Honda's hometown of Marysville, Ohio. While the line is brand new, the building has seen many uses over its lifetime, most recently as a warehouse facility. PMC staff numbers about 100, with 60 technical and 40 non-technical associates. The car uses parts sourced globally, and one of those sources is Cosworth. The engine blocks and heads come from the English firm and get assembled into twin-turbo powerhouses at Honda's nearby Anna, Ohio, engine plant. The Cosworth name is rarely associated with a bad engine, so we were geeked to hear the NSX's 550-plus-horsepower hybrid powertrain has good genes. Acura hasn't decided how many cars will come to the US each year, but supplies will be limited. We're told there is a total figure for global sales – basically anywhere Honda and Acura vehicles are sold – but they're not ready to divulge that number. Dealer allocation is also yet to be sorted out, although we're told that any dealer that has the necessary tools and equipment to service the new NSX will be able to sell them. Acura currently has 272 US dealers. The switch from the transverse engine originally planned to a longitudinal twin-turbo engine threw everyone involved for a loop. The designers had to lengthen their nearly finalized design, and the engineers working on the production process had to revise or redo much of their work. Though we've been waiting a while for the car since the concept first surfaced in 2012, it's pretty amazing to think that the car was engineered one and a half times and a new factory was built in about three years. But yeah, it's delayed, with series production now set to commence in the spring of 2016. One result of the switch to a longitudinal engine is a transmission hump in the cargo area aft of the engine. The hold is still sized to fit a bag of golf clubs, though it will be a tight fit.

Acura teases tougher looking 2017 MDX for New York

Wed, Feb 24 2016

Acura is teasing its redesigned 2017 MDX with this orange-tinged rendering ahead of the three-row SUV's reveal at the 2016 New York Auto Show on March 23. The luxury automaker promises big changes for the latest model, including "substantial design enhancements, added luxury comfort and convenience features, and advanced new powertrain technology." Unfortunately, the company doesn't offer further details about those general promises. The folks at the Acura Design Studio in Torrance, CA, have much bolder styling ready for the 2017 MDX. While these lines aren't as razor-sharp as the Acura Precision Concept from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show, this SUV subtly evokes the sedan's honed look. For example, the chiseled shapes around the hood and grille are crisp, and the front and rear fenders are highly sculpted, which gives the MDX a tough demeanor. This teaser image makes the lower fascia appear a little busy because there's so much happening down there, but we're withholding judgment until the real thing debuts. We're also curious about the additional powertrain advancements Acura promises because the automaker just updated the MDX last year with its nine-speed automatic gearbox and twin-clutch Super Handling All-Wheel Drive. The company also added expanded availability of its AcuraWatch active safety suite to the 2016 model.

(Feb. 24, 2016) – Acura will unveil the redesigned and reengineered 2017 MDX luxury SUV at the 2016 New York International Auto Show on March 23. The 2017 MDX will boast substantial design enhancements, added luxury comfort and convenience features, and advanced new powertrain technology, in concert with the Acura brand's focus on Precision Crafted Performance. "We are sharpening our focus on the Precision Crafted Performance DNA of the Acura brand and the 2017 MDX will integrate new styling elements and powertrain technology that takes us another step in that direction," said John Mendel, executive vice president of American Honda Motor Co., Inc. The Acura MDX is the best-selling three-row luxury SUV of all time and Acura's best-selling SUV, with sales topping 50,000 units in each of the past three years. The 2017 MDX was designed by the Acura Design Studio in Torrance, Calif.

Acura NSX owners receive custom short teaser movies of their personal car

Mon, Dec 19 2016

In a neat bit of fan service for those who've ordered Acura's new NSX halo car, the company will make a short film that reflects the way the car's been configured. Those films are on their way to future owners as you read this. In addition, they'll get a 1:18 scale custom model of their own car, reflecting every appearance option inside and out. That's neat. So neat, in fact, that we decided to commission our own video. We got together and configured a car in the lovely Nouvelle Blue Pearl, and sent our build over to Acura. They put together a video that's mostly representative of what an owner would see. You can see our build plate (hint: it says "Autoblog – Precision Crafted By Performance Manufacturing Center" on it), and that's "our" car on the dyno starting about 22 seconds in. If you want to check out someone else's film, you can compare our build to Jay Leno's. The reason Acura can do this is that there simply aren't that many available configurations for the NSX. This is at the root of one of the main criticisms some of our editors have about the car. An NSX starts at darn close to $160,000, and there are eight paint options (not too bad), four interior color options, and three seating options. All well and good, but compare that to the 16 paint and 12 interior color/material choices in a 911 Turbo, for example, choosing a similarly high-performance car at a similar price range. And there's a further wrinkle: Porsche will paint your car to match a sample you provide, so in reality the ability for an owner to make the car uniquely theirs is infinite, if you don't mind paying for it. See also the BMW Individual program, or McLaren's MSO one-offs. We're not just talking about the MSO Defined options, but the MSO Bespoke program itself, which will basically do anything you want to the car as long as it's road legal and your check doesn't bounce. We've been to MSO, and they're not kidding: they'll build anything. So yes, these custom videos are nice fan service, and they'll certainly jazz up the buyers who've already ordered one of these dynamically impressive cars. It's a move that builds loyalty, and certainly doesn't have much of a drawback. But for us, already a bit sensitive to Acura's conservative option list for the NSX, it serves to highlight the gap between Acura and the more established brands in catering to well-off customers' desire for bespoke range-topping creations.
