Hey guys
I'm planning to buy an Integra (1995 LS) in a week and a half. It used to belong to me a year and a half ago but I sold it to my brother; he's now looking for a bigger car and I'm buying this one back (for a good price
).
There's a few things wrong with it at the moment. I had it in almost mint condition when I owned it but he's kind of let it go..
Both side mirrors are missing the glass (apparently he hit something with them on 2 separate occasions), the brakes need to be bled and adjusted, and the intake is broken.
I've already ordered an Ebay Special intake (cheapie short ram just to have a filter!
) and have been looking over some side mirrors.
My question is, what else should I check out that I'll probably be missing?
I know I should probably replace the plugs, wires, oil, etc but are there some glaringly obvious issues I could have with one of these cars? I didn't have internet when I had the Integra before so I probably missed out on some valuable information.
I want this car as a daily driver/highway cruiser so my Miata can have some downtime for work (Turbo coming soon, w00t!!). So I want to do a couple of basic mods, as I said already I bought a cheap intake for now, I may do exhaust, etc.
So!
1. What else am I missing that would definitely need to be checked when purchasing the car.
2. Does ANYBODY have experience with the cheap Ebay mirrors or are they all junk.
2. The car has a fart can on it right now for no reason except for stupidity. Is there a nice, clean sounding and fairly quiet catback that will make some noise when you get on it? I don't want some racer-boy crap and I also don't want to spend a pile of money on it, but I'll consider it if I get a consensus. Something that won't drone on the highway but will give a nice tone when the loud pedal is depressed
I know I'm missing something so someone give me some tips/pointers/basic DIY mods/etc.
BTW I didn't see a new members section or anything similar, so.... Hi, my name is Joel and I'm a car nut
I had a few different questions so I didn't want to put this in the tech thread...
