186. Not too bad. They fixed it the best they could. They also recommended that I get a new clutch cable since mine might be rusted and that I need new struts soon. How much do struts go for?

Struts are spendy. Ditch the POS at the side of the road and go buy your Integra back.

fix rust, primer, wait till you can afford a paint job. Seriously, from experience, killing rust is priority one. If it means cruising around with some primer on your car, so be it. You can always try that pimpalicious $50 paint job that was posted a month or so ago.

as for clutch cable and struts, put them off. Unless you're flogging the car (like I am, 500 mi/week in-town pizza delivery), you wont notice either. Your clutch cable isn't just going to snap, and that being the case, I don't see how it could possibly fail. Struts... well ride and handling may become sub-par, but considering you're driving a crx si, even with completely blown struts it still probably feels better on the road than 80 percent of the cars out there.

meh...

you've already invested more $$$ into that POS than it's even worth. :nervous:

Struts I am going to put off for a little. The cable the guys said that I have no soft spot in my clutch(:shrug and it engages right away, or something like that. Its really touchy and they were having a hard time getting it to shift smoothly with it like that.
