- Let me start by saying thank you to Scotty Kilmer for posting this video on his channel. I’m very appreciative of the exposure he’s given me. You can find his channel here:

My accidental purchase of this 1993 Acura Integra LS was a good one. It fits in very well with my Legends and proves to be as reliable. Expect to see more of this little guy as I continue restoring it.
As always, feedback is welcomed. I'm a RUclipsr in training, so go easy on me. Thanks for watching!

Who am I?
I’ve been an IT guy for the last 15 years with a serious passion for tech and all things automotive. From motherboards to combustion engines, I find happiness in anything that powers on or throws you back in your seat with the fierceness of a Greek god.
Thanks to Scotty and his fans, I surpassed 1500 subscribers!!! I really can't thank everyone enough, the work isn't always easy but this quickly made it all worth it. You can definitely expect more content in the near future.
Comments, suggestions and feedback are always welcome on my videos. Nobody is perfect, if I misspeak, correct me. I'll try to respond to as much as I can. Thanks again!!!
Altek Your content is headed in an excellent direction. You definitely have a massive potential fan base, and keeping up this witty-while-informed style will undoubtedly lead to massive future success!!
Altek just gained a subscriber 💯🙏🏼 BEAUTIFUL ACURA!😍😍 but why get rid of the duracon knob?😭😭 one of my favorite knobs ! Glad you kept the slips they just complement it with t being red!😍😍😍
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I'm happy you dig my direction, what you said there is exactly what my goal is. I got some good ideas down the line, I'll keep doing this especially if I get subscribers like yourself that offer honest and open feedback. Much appreciated bro, thanks for the subscribe!
Thanks you sir! The shift knob was very smooth, my hand kept slipping off of it when throwing it into 5th. Small annoyance but I had to think about it every time I went to 5th. If I end up putting a short throw shifter, maybe it'll make sense then. Thanks for the subscribe, I'll be sure to have other Honda's and more on my Integra as I go along but expect a bunch of random cars as well.
Your videos are so good! I love the way you present your content.
I approve this message. Nicely done! Glad that 25 y/o Integra ended up with someone who will take great care of it.
Thanks much Tyson! As a true Acura fan, your opinion is greatly appreciated.
Tyson, you two need to collab somehow. This DA is incredibly clean, I actually approved of what was reverted back to stock. haha except the Spoon shifter but .. you know #fanboy hehe
Tyson's awesome just far away, if a collab is possible down the road, we'll surely do it.
As for the spoon shifter, I loved the way it looked but it was so rounded and smooth and 5th gear is a long throw, my hand would slide off of it and I'd miss my shift almost every time. It was aggravating but once I switched back to stock, I'm shifting like a champ. Glad you approve of my DA otherwise buddy!
@@Altek1 totally hear you, DA are underated 100% they're just the classic square design.
Totally. And as you can tell, I love me that classic square design.
Scotty brought me 👍🏾
Sweet! Welcome to my channel and thanks for the subscribe buddy!
2:45 I own an RSX, which is the fourth and last generation Integra. The dash layout of the DA here is very reminiscent of of the DC5/RSX. Soo cool to see.
I perfected stick on an RSX Type-S when those first came out, definitely a fun car. I love these old style designs. I really think Acura should take both this and the Legend and bring them back with only minor tweaks to modernize it, cause I'd sure as hell buy it.
altek nice video! I had a 93 Integra just like yours but mine didn't have any modifications at all. Everything original! Sold it with over 240,000 miles original motor in it and still passing the smog check with no problems. Years back I had a 4 door 1989 Hatchback Acura Integra LS, this one was way better than my 93 Integra in many ways. Still up to right now that I'm typing these words kind of aches in my heart by getting rid of it. I've seen a few of them around but only two doors. This 4 door Integra 89 and a1968 2 doors Datsun 510 had been to me best cars I'd ever had. The 93 Integra although it's a beautiful car and it wasn't modified at all, it was in my opinion too low, didn't like the steering wheel that much, replacing the clutch was a pain, the rest it's just fantastic. I was also very afraid to wake up in the morning and not see it park by my house. That's one of the reasons had me decide to sell it. Used to love driving it on the highways. Since we have beautiful landscapes here in Santa Barbara CA. Overall Acuras are really good vehicles, very reliable, nice body line and driving handle. If you ever get a chance to test drive a 4 door 89 Integra, you will probably end up wanting to add one to your collection.
Then maybe I shouldn't test drive an 89 Integra, I can't keep buying cars, it's getting out of hand, haha. Love to hear success stories like this. You can say that 240,000 miles is still young, proper care can make that last a hell of a lot longer I'm pretty sure. Now that 68 Datsun sounds like an awesome little car. I get what you mean, it's hard letting a good car go. I still regret selling my 95 Maxima, although ugly, it ran great and was easy to maintain. Lucky you to live in CA, some of the best roads I've ever driven were out there. I'm happy you like the video, I hope to have more on my Acura trio in the future.
I had this same car years ago and had a lot of fun in it. Then a pretty hefty deer took his buddy up on a challenge and tried me at night, and totaled the car, and himself. He was so determined to wreck the car that he trashed the front of it, did an impressive pivot, and slammed the side of it, too. I would've given him about a 9.5, but he didn't stick the landing. Loved the car before that night, though...lots of fun for what it was.
I didn't think it was possible to paint such a vivid picture of a fight between deer and an Integra, but kudos my friend, you did it. I had a friend who picked a similar fight with deer in his Miata, and yes of course, he lost. Deer 2, cars 0.
This video takes me back to the classic Honda-Tech days. Especially when you describe the security. Pretty much the reply to every thread about theft, "if they want it, they'll take it." Great video on the DA, subbed.
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the subscribe. I've come to terms with the fact that it'll be loaded on a box truck if someone wants it that badly. I can easily say the anxiety of that is the worst thing about owning it.
@@Altek1 I've got a 98 Integra myself, and do park it outside as well as daily drive it. One security tool I highly recommend is the AutoLock. Just throw it on the clutch pedal and not many thieves are trying to waste time with that thing IMO.
A few people recommended that, it's not expensive at all so I'm going to order one today. I'm still trying to figure out if that would prevent thieves from being able to flatbed it away, doesn't seem like it but being afraid of driving it because of that is becoming silly.
From one Acura Fan to Another Thank you... Id love to chop it up about Acuras with you my man... Keep up the good work
Hah you're very welcome sir. Hell yeah it'd be great to bs about shared passions. I appreciate the feedback, much appreciated buddy.
I always liked that car. The old school double wishbone suspension, light weight hondas were super fun to drive.
My martial Arts teacher had this model and color back in the day, but it was an auto.
I saw a few that I was interested back in the day but all auto. It really is fun to drive, I took it out today and totally took the longest way home I could find.
Saw your video on Scotty's channel. Very entertaining; wife and I are both subscribing. =)
Thank you! And thank you so much for the support!
I absolutely love the DA9 Integra. I had 3 of them. Looks like yours has spoon replica wheels. With the coilovers you have or had are a great addition and you're supposed to swerve around bumps, divots, and pot holes to avoid your back hurting like you say it does. My 93 integra sat much lower and I put a vtec head from a civic si with Type R replica pistons and Cams along with alotta other goodies to put a bigger smile on my face. My car ran like a rapped ape. To keep it safe I locked the steering column took my removable spoon steering wheel as well as my ECU. 166k for those is still a baby, good luck and I hope you find more joy outta it....or sell it to me
It's quite the looker for sure. The issues with my back hurting are not the bumps and believe you me I avoid them when I can. The seat simply doesn't have enough support but it's only extended drives that become uncomfortable. While my goal was to keep it totally stock, the lack of power is getting to me so I'm considering some options. Sorry to break your heart bud but I'm not selling it, but I do like your gusto. Thanks for watching, always happy to hear from people who appreciate the car as much as I do.
Because of you (and scotty) I now own a red 1992 Acura integra!
Nice! Good shape? Manual? How are you liking it?
@@Altek1 it needs some work, body is in amazing shape, but someone installed this ugly short throw shifter in it. It's also not running right. And the guy I bought it from says that it dies after running for about five minutes. So I towed it home and now it's my winter project! I'm hoping to Make this into a really nice summer car as it snows too much here to drive a beauty like this in the winter. Oddly enough it has auto locks and windows
That's a great winter project for sure. The power locks and windows were available on the higher models, the LS was only power windows. Hopefully it's just a bad fuel pump or something simple, but at least it turns over. The shifter should be an easy change too. How many miles on it? I'm just hitting 167,000.
@@Altek1 yeah I'm sure it's something simple especially since it does start and run and drive. I'm from Canada actually so the vehicle is in km. It's almost at 300,000km but he claims the engine only has about 80,000km. But it's a beautiful car and I may upload some videos to show progress and hopefully get some outreach from people who know and love these older integras
As long as the engine swap was done properly, which it seems so having done so many miles, you should be golden for a while since the body is in good shape. Keep me posted as you go along with it.
I've got a '90 LS coupe...Was my first car and I still love it. It's pretty much stock and you're right about people looking at them, because most were ruined with aftermarket parts and not seeing many on the road anymore. Can't wait to follow your experiences with this one!
"arrest me red" ha, facts !
The da is the most important car to come from honda........ period. I'm glad that one is finally getting some recognition. Just subscribed btw. I saw the thumbnail on Scottys video and lost my mind
Thanks for the subscribe buddy. I'm noticing people either completely love or completely hate this car, but we can all agree it was an icon in the JDM world. Glad it gets your approval my friend!
@@Altek1 yes sir... I have 2 of them myself. An xsi and an ls-s. I absolutely love the da. It's my favorite car
The da is my favorite look, but I'm a sucker for anything retro looking, thus why my intro is in 8-bit :D
I had one like this 10years ago.
Unfortunately got in a wreck with it .
Replaced it with a 92 RS red model. Needs lots of work but can't get rid of it.. love it way to much thanks to you I fell in love with it again.. it will get modified as every oem part is discontinued..
Ha, I don't mind modifying it as I need parts if they're the only ones I can find but my Subaru is going to be my modded ride so I'm cool with these three being stock.
@@Altek1
Like I mentioned on your other video. I too own a wrx I have a dgm 18 wrx. And the integra RS model. 93 will be my modded toy.. will be a k24 like that blue sedan you drove.. keep it clean buddy. Next time I visit family in upstate NY I'll let you know maybe I could see it in person
Let me know, I can let my buddy know and maybe he can get it to his shop. It's funny, I didn't like the new WRX design at first but now I love it. And as excessive as the STI spoiler is, it grew on me too. Manual WRX I imagine, not cvt?
@@Altek1 that'll be awesome dude. And yea same here lol and yea 6spd. Name is miguel /migz btw. 🤝 shoot me an email mmigz101@gmail.com
Congrats for being on Scotty's channel again!
Thank you! He's been a huge help. I'll actually be doing another one for him in a few months as well. Trying to keep this momentum going.
@@Altek1 oh wow I can't wait to see it!
Your great! I love watching your reviews and looking forward to way more videos. Hope you can review the Honda S2000 one day.
Bro this video is a banger I'm here in 2020 I know it was only a year ago but you only got a few k subs!!! Whattt bro you should be right up there with all the car guys! Good shots, good lighting, great microphone, you are extreamly hilarious and you make sence. I drive a 1991 DA and this wind through the door handle is AHHHHHH it upsets me but hey. I love the dang thing and yes every 15 mile an hour corner is a challenge I except as well. I hope you still have the car and drive safe bro!
Thank you so much for realizing how much work I put into a single video. After all, I'm the lighting guy, camera guy, editing guy and personality and it all gets overwhelming, especially with so few people checking out my content. Glad you see what goes into it and appreciate it as well. We're DA bros bro! I still got it, 177k on the odometer and I'll put another engine in if this one ever goes.
@@Altek1 brother, I know Im just 1 human but this one human has got hope that you will blow up one of these days. Your a fully grown man and problably know that if you want something you WILL get it. It's not a question. You controll that universe and I'll see you when you hit a million!!
Great video couldn’t have said it any better description was honest and fair but it was one of the first Honda’s with four wheel disc brakes that what did it for me I’m on my third DA love em
Thanks bud, I try to be honest, even if I own it and love it. I did forget to mention the brakes, they were very responsive. Thanks for watching and for the feedback.
Damn I'm in love with your integra. It looks like mine only 100 times better lol.
Haha even though it might not look like mine, I bet it runs like a champ.
Over from Scotty Kilmores youtube channel. Nice car collection. Doing same with couple 1st gen tacoma. Thx for post
Thanks for the subscribe buddy and glad you like my collection. I see it continuing to grow over time. If the Tacoma is anything like the Helix they showed on Top Gear, that car might just be indestructible. Thanks for watching!
I know that road you’re driving on over by the reservoir. I work in White Plains and I take that route to work all the time!
22 to those Armonk side roads are my main jam when I want to have a nice drive. Especially during the fall, it was the perfect color match for the car! Thanks for watching!
Altek nice. Good to know that you’re on my flight path!
Damn. That DA9 was kept MINT. The window visors are hard to find for that car too! But overall the review was great and everything you said was damn near spot on! Hope to see more videos in the future. Especially for this car.
That's why I had to buy it! When I first saw it my jaw dropped. Glad you liked the review, I'm honest even with my own cars that I love. More to come and I'll chime in with this guy as I make some changes. Thanks for watching!
@@Altek1 yea man! You got yourself a new subscriber! Plus as a DA9 driver myself I just had to show some love. Wish my car had the stuff that your DA had. Lip, window and hatch visor. And the tien coilovers. But i can appreciate you trying to bring the car back to stock. My car feels low already on stock suspension and stock alloys! But overall I'm just glad another DA9 is saved from possibly hitting the scrapyard like many others.
Awesome bro! Thanks for the subscribe! I trusted the previous owner would have upgraded it properly, but I've just never seen one so nice and so close to stock, in NY at least. It's always great to meet someone with the same passion as me. I hope to have more on mine and other crazy Honda's in the future. Thanks again man!
Loving the videos, just binge watched the whole channel lol.
I think it would be super interesting for you to review a truck like a big F-150 or something. Personally, I’m not a fan of trucks but I live up in Canada so they’re extremely common. Would love to see how you like how they handle.
Cheers!
I always thought the Ford Raptor was a sick truck. I'm not against an SUV, hell, I was going to do a seriously modified gold cart as a joke. I'm down for anything.
I said it in the last comment and I'll say it again, thanks for the support Dante, it's much appreciated.
I really want to get this generation they’re so nice
Tricky to find these days but keep your eyes open on local sites and you might find one. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Just came form Scotty's channel. Great videos, you should have more subscribers. And if you can get your hands on 3rg gen prelude someday, please do a video with it :D
Thanks a lot buddy. I always did like the early 2000's Preludes. The Del Sol was a fun little car too, I wouldn't mind getting my hands on that. The winter may slow me down but I'll definitely have more in the future, I'll try to get my hands on more fun Honda's since people definitely seen to love them. Thanks for the support, much appreciated!
Nice integra clean hard to find
Thanks, that's why I had to buy it.
@@Altek1 I have a 1993 frost white gsr its clean as hell the only rust spot is a on the passenger corder panel it's very small though.
Nice, I'm jealous of the GS-R owners but I'm still not mad about mine.
@@Altek1 I'm just glad they are getting love. Not a lot of people like the second gens and it saddens me
I think it's a rad looking car. Each gen has its unique style even though the first two are very similar. I get not liking it, but the hate is sometimes confusing. I love a ton of designs from this era.
Great lily's review, deserve more subs. Coming from Scotty's channel, I'm now a new subscriber of this one 👌
Surely you can host your own car show with that degree of professionalism! Brilliant looking car too and great video, I look forward to seeing what your channel brings!
Hah! Thanks so much! I appreciate the vote of confidence my friend! I have a few ideas in store, just need to figure them out how to execute them in 20 degree temperatures.
Thanks for sharing the Integra with us, it's beautiful and your review of it was excellent.
Thank you buddy! I'll be showing off my Subaru in due time, the forgotten child of my 4 cars.
Dam, man. yu really lucky for finding that gem! I only see beaters here in Kansas city :D
Wow just amazing work man keep it up you got real talent and I hope you get more subs cause your channel is outstanding
I'm telling you man, comments like this keep me going with this. Thanks a bunch, the support is really appreciated.
It's ridiculous to me that you only have 1.1k followers. I definitely enjoy your content and am looking forward to whatever else you cook up.
Most of the subs happened in the last 10 hours, kinda blowing my own mind right now. I had a plan and the hard work is paying off. Thanks so much for noticing, your support is much appreciated.
Dam I saved my EM1 from my bro in law he had it he was the second owner and had it modified. My sister made him sell it I bought for cheap off him since we are family lol and I saved it I made it completely stock except the exhaust is a greddy and a stock JDM jasma B16a headers and he had blown the OG engine so he put a JDM b16a still the same engine except higher compression other then that everything else is stock your videos are good
Nice, I like the body style of the EM1, it's clean. Smart way to pick one up too, hah. Is the car not too loud like that? I don't mind loud if there's a lot of power behind, but in this instance, my Integra was obnoxious no matter what RPM and didn't move quickly enough to justify it. Thanks for watching bud!
Seriously though.. are you Bruce Campbell? Love it!
Haha, I've heard Hank Azaria before but not Bruce Campbell. Thanks buddy!
Now you need a early 90s nsx and vigor to round out the collection.
NSX's are so expensive now! I can't believe how much they jacked up in price and I knew they would sky rocket before the new one came out. A Vigor, now that piques my under $1,000 spending limit interests! Thanks as always for the support Ninja!
Excited for the future of this channel just saw this on Scotty's channel and I really liked it
Thanks buddy. It's something I've always wanted to do, glad I'm finally doing it. Let's see what the future brings.
Awesome car and awesome video! More Integra/Legend videos please!
I loved my 94 gsr best car I ever had I beat the hell out of it supercharged it and it never let me down these cars are bullet proof. My neighbor had a 93 gsr now those are very rare with the 1.7l vetch one of the very first vtec 4 bangers
I was looking for the GS-R but they we're either beaten to hell or the owner was asking WAY too much. I did another video on my buddies 94 that he built up like an animal. I agree, bullet proof indeed. These Integras make it to 250k with no problem.
Beautiful car, lots of work to do though. If I were you, I'd change the seats, put a new stereo, work on the gears (you mentioned it was not the smoothest transmission), maybe some window tinting...
Congrats on the 500 subs 👌
Thanks bro! Part of me wants to do something like that, part of me wants it all stock. Either way, that radio is definitely getting upgraded since it's easy to revert.
I appreciate the congrats, thanks for being one of the first bud!
@@Altek1 all stock. Theres something about capturing the original condition that makes it more desirable.
Clean stock hondas and acuras from this era are worth more stock. Just they're super rare.
1,4K subscribers now!
Right! I'm loving the momentum for sure!
I have the same car with the same trim, but I have the longer one. I have whole headlight assemblies and oem spoilers. Also there might be lumbar adjustments on the driver seat, give it a look
The oem spoiler looked great on this gen. Thanks for the suggestion, I messed with the lumbar today actually and it didn't do much. I don't normally take the car for long rides, so it really isn't a bother to me. Thanks for watching!
Very nice!
Thank you sir!!
So I am hear from Kilmer's channel.
Great reviews.
I love cars, all cars.
As do I. I may own a lot of Honda's, but I can appreciate anything. Thanks for watching.
Hi there Altek ! I'm glad to have stumbled onto your channel. Great work😁
Thank you!! Much appreciated!
Stunning! You’re blessed with these Acuras my man. Keep it going, your subs are growing;)
Thanks buddy! If you ever want one, just search used car sites every few months. Ya never know what gems might pop up. I'm keeping it going alright, this momentum is really inspiring me to try harder. Thanks as always for the support.
nice!!
Great video for my favorite model Acura/Honda. I love this generation Acura's including the Legends. I believe that the Legends were ahead of their time in many respects. While there are some cons to this model Integra as you mention in the video, none the less it is still a fun little car to drive. You have a great starting point to restore the car. There is a forum for enthusiast of this generation Integra located at g2ic.com. You can obtain a significant amount of knowledge about the models, general problems, and DIY's. I myself am one of the enthusiast and have been since I owned my first one back in the mid nineties. I am in the process of restoring my 1993 GS-R (my third of this model) to near stock to the best of abilities. I did want to mention about the cup holder issue with these cars. There were 2 dealer options for cup holders. 1 was an tray insert where the ash tray slides in into place. The other is actually in the armrest that you have, provided that they were not removed or broken. Once you open the "lid" to the armrest, the cup holders unlock from the underside of the armrest lid. They are "pop up" cup holders that hold a standard soda can or a small drink cup at best. I hope that you are successful with the restoration and I look forward to seeing more videos on the Integra. If you need any help with your Integra I would love to help.
It's always great to hear from a fellow enthusiast. I liked this car ever since I was younger, a friend of mine had one all hooked up and at the time I thought it was just the fastest, coolest looking thing. I hope I didn't come across as disliking the car, I'm honest with its drawbacks but I really have a blast when I take it out.
Great find on the 93 GS-R, the extra power must really liven it up. I get the reason why people upgraded these in the past, but stock is the way to go in my opinion. Most of today's low end new cars can wipe the floor with the Integra, so as much fun as it is to drive, it simply isn't a race car and the money it would take to get there isn't realistic.
I have a cup holder that clips into the glove box, which isn't ideal if you have to use the glove box. Also, since the suspension is so stiff, the drink just flies out anyways. I think I'll track down the ash tray replacement since that's the most feasible option.
I'll check out the forum too, thanks a bunch for the info and thanks for watching.
When i saw u on scotty random, first thought was, where is his channel^^
But i got to admit, the removal of exhaust and suspension makes me sad. Its a sign of gone carculture these cars fitted perfectly in. Specially the Red color reminds me at a documentation about street racing from the 2000s with a guy who cut its springs to save money. stupid mod but good looking car.
Glad you digged the video, or car, enough to seek out my channel. I'm starting to lean more towards modding it but I want it done right. The direction the previous owner was going in was just a loud slow car that couldn't make it over a speed bump. I ended up not getting rid of the suspension since softening it up makes it much more forgiving to drive. I've seen a couple examples online that are giving me some ideas, and once I have some disposable cash, I think it's going right into the engine. I sure as hell won't be cutting springs and risking my life, but I do want to have too much horsepower that I just spin the front wheels all day. Hopefully you see a follow up video down the road with some fun mods, but in the meantime, except a follow up on what it's like to drive as a daily, i'm working on that one now. Thanks for commenting bud!
Very nice video !
Thank you sir!
Awesome man your a legend I love your channel. Keep the acura content coming.
Glad you enjoyed buddy! I'll give more updates on my cars in between other reviews when I can. I appreciate the support!
I knew I had to watch this when I saw 1993 integra. Awesome video my first car was a 1991 integra I still have it have been trying to rebuild it into dedicated track car. Getting there little by little. I don’t plan to ever get rid of it. Have had it well over 10 years and counting. Maybe in the near future when it’s back up and running I can load up some videos of it. I’ve actually been on the search for some time now for a 92-93 four door to add to my Acura/ Honda collection. Although I never post much are you on g2ic.com?
Hey Alex, Cool video! Maybe you can design an automatic seat belt that also wraps around the waist! :) Best, John R.
Thanks John! The shoulder belt is alarming enough, I don't need metal automatically attaching to something anywhere near my waist haha. Thanks for watching buddy!
beautiful integra and legends, i love this cars
Thanks, they're the kind of cars I turn around to look at when I'm walking away after I park 😁
I'm also a RUclipsr who has started his own channel just recently....now I haven't done any reviews, but I do plan to do a it soon...
Best of luck. Find your knack and just go with it.
Cool, hope you can review a 91 Civic Hatch 1.6L 16V
I think my buddy has one in good condition, but it might be a little on the "it's a complete race car" side. If I find either a mint condition or a totally destroyed but still running one, I'll do it for sure.
Thanks bro !!
One more subscriber!! You are getting closer to 1000!!!
I passed 1000! It's kinda surreal, the hard work is paying off so far. Thanks for being one of them, the support is appreciated.
@@Altek1 I still need about 150 more myself. Congrads!!!
In regards to no cup holders in sight, it's (if you have one) in the lid of the arm rest. It's kind of hidden.
Someone else mentioned that, there's nothing in the center. I have the JDM cup holder that clips into the glovebox. Not the best so I'm going to go for the ashtray replacement. Thanks though!
Oh and I also came from Scotty, ps great vid I had to sub, great content
Thanks for the sub and feedback, much appreciated!
Wow your vids are really good
Thanks buddy! Working on more, stay tuned.
new subscriber here, awesome videos and awesome quality! keep it up Al
Thanks bro! Much appreciated!
Post a update on this integra please love this car
I put together another video about how I daily the car. Check my channel out. If you've seen, I could make a follow up video, just need some ideas on the direction. Thanks for watching bud!
It's pretty nice I would just change a few things like the steering wheel, that thing would drive me crazy.
I was thinking about that too. This car is a few changes from being the coolest little car but I totally get why people try to get another 70hp out of it.
Gotta love old Japanese cars.
Hell yeah. Thanks for watching.
Great videos man, i just came across your channel. Nice clean and technical humor. As you might be able to see by my user name im a Honda fan. If youre interested in possibly driving a 750+ horsepower K series JDM front turbo Integra we might be able to make that happen. (New Jersey)
Hah I thought your username was a question for a second. And how on Earth could I say no to that. I've already reviewed three different versions of an Integra, I'm always down for more Honda fun and 750+ hp is just that.
@@Altek1 well ill stay in touch and see if we can make this happen.
Awesome. Keep me posted.
I got one of these cars from my cousin but I have a hard time getting a gearbox for it b18b1.
There's got to be something online you can find, the only thing is judging the condition which is impossible. Got any good Honda shops nearby that might be able to help?
Nice video, man!
Thanks bro!!
@@Altek1 You should do some videos on older Lexus and Infiniti models too. I am very into these older Japanese Luxury brands aimed at the American market.
I definitely agree with you. I might have a 1993 Toyota Cressida down the line, which I've always wanted to drive, as well as a 1998 ES300. Those are both pretty sharp 90's cars but I'm keeping my eyes out of others, they're a bit tricky to find.
@@Altek1 I love the 90s LS and GS (Aristo!) very much myself. Early 2000s as well. The early Infiniti M45 is a pretty neat car as well.
I don't come across old school infinitis much but I'll definitely do a review if I can find one. Tricky part is always finding one.
Second generation Integra is best Integra!!!
I still love a sweet pair of flip up headlights though. Thanks for watching!
Bro you should get the RSX Type S
That has be one of Acura’s best cars ever
I learned manual on that back in 2000, it was a lot of fun to throw around. I have to say, those might be even more rare than my Integra, I can't say I've seen one for a long while now.
Altek tru I am planning to get one soon
You should get a 1991 to 1992 steering wheel it looks way better.
I was thinking that and I just looked it up, definitely the way I'll go. It even adds to the retro look.
see if you can put a G3 steering wheel in the DA. they're wayy more comfortable than the DA steering wheel.
I thought the G3 wheel would look a little too different style wise compared to the rest of the car. I think the 91,92 look would fit better but really, anything would be better than what it is now.
Eg4 is also a great car with carburetors
3:50 so the rough idle is literally common on old cars??? crazy since our puslar car never had such idle issues till laste year
6:40 yup that's what a fun car does to ya!! makes you wanna drive it everywhere even when you dont got fuel and already at your destination!
Shouldn't be all that common if things are maintained in my opinion. I forgot what it's called, but there's a jammy at the back of the engine bay in my Integra that maintains the throttle at idle and that needs to be cleaned. I couldn't get it off enough to clean and I was convinced I was going to break something. I'll bring it up to my mechanic when I have a belt changed. I'm still putting miles on her and she's still running great otherwise. Thanks for watching!
Can you tell me what color that is? I’m really digging it 😅
I think it's called Rio Red. Some flashy stuff! Thanks for the sub buddy!
I have a really mint stock tsx around NYC if you want another acura to review.
What year? If you tell me it's the wagon, I'll be all over that.
I wish, 2006. Shaggin wagon v6 would have been perfect though
Very accurate wording for that wagon. Let me see what cars I have lined up once the weather warms up, I'll reach out to you when I do my next round of Hondas.
Sounds good
might as well get a crx and civic as well...
I'm not against it. Once I get my hands on a good sized garage, we'll see what happens.
Altek please don’t say “if you want this car take it” cuz the internet is crazy, they will find where you live and they will try to take it. Sincerely a “arrogant” millennial
Haha, I thought the same thing. I just know that when it comes to heartless thieves, they're relentless and will get what they intend on taking. However let's not confuse that as a challenge. Thanks for watching bud
So where's the ever-expanding garage space?
That's the tricky part. I kinda have them spread out throughout the county for the winter. The good thing is I'm never more than 5 miles from another car in the event one breaks down, which, knock on wood, hasn't happened yet. Working on something for the future though.
I threw this under Scotty's upload. But he has the armrest. The cupholders are in the armrest. Are they third party? They should be right there
That armrest was a second hand install from the previous owner from my understanding. It's just a tiny little compartment, no cup holder in there. Another comment did mention the cup holder armrest, which would seem a bit in the way. I think I'm going for the ashtray version instead.
Altek if you're missing the CD player you could probably get one of those cup holders that go through there, but it'll fuck with the trim so watch out
Ayo Al... Lemme get a car...
I can hear you saying that in my head and it's hilarious hahaha
Gotta get jdm one piece headlights
I was looking at those. Not sure what I'm going with yet but I won't be driving much during the winter so I'll wait until spring time to make any more changes.
Nice,well keep up the great work. I've always loved the look of these. Just subd and I'll be waiting for the upcoming vids!
Thanks for the sub! Working on a few things now, hoping to keep the momentum going into 2019.
I've got a 95' Del Sol that was recently stolen and recovered. What GPS tracker system do you have on your Integra?
At least you were able to recover it, I always liked the Del Sol, fun looking car. I went with the Trak4, cheap and durable but hiding it in a place that makes it still easy to charge was the tricky part. I'm going to hard wire it when it's warmer.
Who’s here after Scotty Kilmer?
You rock!
What up Al why did you eliminate the yonaka exhaust ,I think it's a pretty quiet system there are other mufflers that are more raspy and fucking annoying the yonaka isn't that bad, did you think the stock one is better, was it too droany just curious dude, nice car you got there , excellent 👌
Hey bud. The Yonaka wasn't THAT bad but on an entirely stock car, it was slightly embarrassing since it really had no power to justify the noise with. Not to mention when I downshifted, it had an ungodly drone that was coupled with rattling against the body of the car in a few places, so even when I got used to the exhaust noise itself, the chatter around it was too much. I changed the rubber hangers and it improved slightly, but not enough to keep. On top of all of that, I'm getting my Subaru WRX back from the shop soon... Now that s-o-b is going to be loud with power to justify the noise :)
@@Altek1 so now your going to start vaping too lol
l, I got one on my 94 integra it is annoying at times but overall it sounds good, the factory one too quiet
@@Altek1 yes the vibrations can be annoying
Haha you callin me a millennial bro!?! I didn't get the factory Acura exhaust since it was a bit too expensive, so the one I got is a bit louder than normal.
How many people were brought here because of scotty kilmer..?
Not enough my friend! Thanks for checking out my channel.
Manual locks an electirc locks? Isnt that almost every car on the road
Not sure if you misunderstood, it has electric windows but manual locks. Normally I only see all manual or all electric but I've not seen that before. Hope that makes sense.
@@Altek1the gs an gsr models have electric locks
Yeah, I read that after I got the LS, I just found it odd that they included one but not the other on the base model.
Looks like somebody hit the wrong thumbs button lol
Haha thanks bud.
where did you find stock exhaust for a da9 cant manage to find one
I found this: www.autopartskart.com/acura-integra-1993/exhaust-muffler-assembly.html?partno=wk54028&prodid=58742199313193wk54028&gclid=Cj0KCQjw0caCBhCIARIsAGAfuMyNSTmuF4SiDqDPn0Ct6bzNzCboeVfaPNGHkkoXFwKuDzX7XtvjLmwaAt5EEALw_wcB
I'm pretty sure Walker is the brand I used on mine. I found an OEM part for about $100 but shipping was like $150 so I said eff that. Can't recall the site though.
@@Altek1 thank you will be putting it on my very own 93
Hello sir, I need some advice , what would be the best election for a reliable car. 1999 Acura CL 2.3 automatic. With 153000 miles. clean tittle original engine, or 2001 Honda Prelude Type SH ,manual trans, with a junk yard engine with 123000 miles. Hard Decision if I had the money I will buy both and start my own private collection !! haha
Hey bud, I'm not too sure how the long term reliability is for the CL, but just based on what you told me, I'd be more comfortable with a bit more miles on an engine than a junk yard motor. I'd say if the current owner has good maintenance records and the car is in good shape, I'd check on the forums for any known problems first, then go with the CL. On the other hand I'm a fan of the Prelude and especially manual of course, but I'd really have to see the car to make a judgement call. Hope that helps!
Altek both cars look in and out in excellent shape. But yes the Prelude have a junk yard motor . Ready to be instal on Monday. Also have a new timing belt and water pump.
Do you know how many miles the junk yard motor has? Unless you really trust the shop doing the work, I'd go towards the Acura.
Junk Yard engine have 123000 miles and still in the car tomorrow they removing the motor to do the swap. also the mechanic doing this is really good. he knows what is he doing , but yes the Acura is only 1 owner and everything is original with also all documentation of maintenance (Acura), both cars are for sale as is for $3000 cash, so I need to make up my mind before next Tuesday.
Did you make a final decision? Knowing the Acura is a single owner car with maintenance records, kinda hard to turn down.
Can I get the yonaka muffler?
Sorry bud, I gave it to my mechanic like a year ago. Unless you have a built motor pushing some power, it sounds silly in my opinion.
I have stock would you trade for the coilover
I would but I actually have plans to swap with new stock suspension with my mechanic, he's already got a ride that can use them.
Intgra .. You don't F up
What rims are those ?
Not sure, the previous owner gave me the option of those or white rims so I opted for the black. All I can tell you is they are crazy lightweight.
should definitely quit your day job and did this.
There's a 7 year old who makes over 20 million a year from RUclips, so while it's not smart right now, ya never know. But Bobby did give up his pension, sorry bob, 68Camaro here is right.
Ha, thanks for the vote of confidence buddy. Why are you capitalizing "you" in that sentence exactly?
