When Travis Arneson sent this one in, I have to say I wasn’t really quick to read it. I mean I saw that it was about an Acura, and that really isn’t our speed around here. But I took him at his word and had to laugh as I read through this one. The seller is SELLING it after all and trying to convince all of us that his Acura is the one to own. Read what he said and let us know what you think.

It is, without any argument, known that the Formula One car is the pinnacle of automotive achievement for most car manufacturers. Finely tuned suspensions, low displacement high output engines, and physics defying ground effects.
Honda once wanted to bring this precision engineering to road cars, and with the assistance of legendary driver Ayrton Senna they were able to deliver: the 1990 NSX. Considered to be one of the best super cars ever made simply because it was fast, relatively inexpensive and reliable – a formula no other manufacturer has ever been able to crack. It encompassed Ayrton Senna’s philosophy, “I am not designed to come second or third. I am designed to win.”
And lucky for you, that super car had a bastard step-brother. The DA-9 Acura Integra.
No seriously you probably think I am full of shit – but just look at these commercials Acura made in the early 90s:

Some people dream of finding that little old grandma who has her son’s cherry 1968 Corvette sitting in the garage for sale, “Oh he died in the Vietnam war – and I just haven’t had the heart to sell it until now.” Well I am that grandma, and this Acura is that Corvette. I bought a new car in November and just haven’t been able to part with this family heirloom – but now is the time to say good bye.
Without further ado, I present to you my beloved 1992 Acura Integra:
LS Model (B18A1, non-VTEC)
5-speed
202k miles
New tires (installed last November)
Includes oil and filter (I mean I can change the oil for you if you want)
Includes clutch (I was able to adjust clutch cable without replacing entire assembly)
30mpg!
Seriously, stock! Seriously clean. There is nothing aftermarket on this except the radio.
Now, this car is almost 30 years old and is showing her age. Nothing that affects drivability, but I have to be honest:
Suffers the DA-9 cowl leak issue (google it)
Fading paint with some spots of flaking clear coat.
Rear defroster is dead
No cruise control
Sunroof is cracked (been this way for about 15 years, doesn’t leak)
Radio does not work, but CD player and AUX work great (maybe an antenna issue).
If you have any questions shoot me an email or a text.
$2200 obo. (Don’t be shy about making an offer)
I’m not gonna lie, those 90’s Integras are fun as fuck! For being wrong wheel drive, they are a great drive.
