Theres a 92 integra for sale near me i havent really checked it out so much, but i was planning on checking it out today. Im wondering if theres anything specific with these cars i should be looking for, common problems, etc. it looks like its in ok condition as many of these cars i have seen are pretty rough. thanks for the help

See if 3rd gear grinds when shifting into it at higher RPMs.

No, look for 1 w/ manual. It'll be great if you can find a Gsr. B17 Vtec motor. 160 hp. What type of money are you planning on spending. Do you want a 90-93 Integra DA or 94-01 DC Integra.

Check in the hatch area for leaks and check around the rear fender wells for rust.

Blue book says $1,300 - $1,500. How much is he asking and what do you want to spend? personally I would look for a 3rd gen 94-01.

i like both styles, ive always been partial to the 90-93 body style, and i was hoping to keep costs down he was asking 1200 for it, whats a manual transmission swap like on these cars?

If you want a manual you should just get one. The cost and time it takes isn't worth putting into a car thats $1200

IMO not worth it, just see if you can find a 5spd one.
