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.

2015 Acura TLX confirmed for New York debut
Wed, 19 Mar 2014Acura has announced that the 2014 New York Auto Show will see the arrival of the production TLX - the sedan that will replace both the TL and TSX in the company's lineup. The TLX was already previewed at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show as a near-production concept model, meaning we already have a very solid idea of what the 2015 model will look like.
What we didn't know, was that Acura has finally gotten on board with some advanced powertrains, rather than just plucking stuff from the Honda parts bin. Okay, that's kind of a lie. We've seen both of the TLX's engines in previous Honda products - a 2.4-liter, VTEC four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter VTEC V6 from the Civic Si and Accord, respectively - but the transmissions will be totally new.
First, an eight-speed, dual-clutch automatic will be paired with the base four-pot. The V6, meanwhile, will get a nine-speed automatic. Unfortunately, there's no mention of a manual gearbox. Acura's Precision All-Wheel Steer will be standard on the front-drive variants for both engines, while the 3.5-liter V6 will also be available with the brand's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive.
2013 Acura ILX Hybrid
Wed, 10 Jul 2013This Is Not The Acura You're Looking For
Mid-level luxury brands have always had to do a bit of leg work to distance themselves from their more common cousins. Thanks to generation after generation of pervasive badge engineering (much of it from the Big Three), buyers can't be blamed for looking at brands like Buick, Lincoln, Infiniti, Lexus and yes, Acura as tarted up versions of Chevrolet, Ford, Nissan, Toyota and Honda products. For much of its lifetime in the automotive landscape, however, Acura has excelled at putting distance between its offerings and that of its parent company thanks to cars with superior driving dynamics, quieter cabins and clean, attractive aesthetics.
Yes, outliers and dull spots can be found in the company's recent track record, but by and large, Acura products remain situated well above the Honda rabble. When the brand announced it was getting serious about the luxury small car game with the ILX, those of us with a set of the company's keys in our past couldn't help but envision an honest successor to the long-dead Integra. Turns out, that wasn't what Acura had in mind.
Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers
Mon, Jun 23 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.
