Hi guys... been floating about on the forum for a while now and thought who better to ask. I am gonna finalise the purchase of a DC4 tomorrow and was wondering if there are any specific things to look out for in relation to Integra's besides all the usual things you check when you go look at a car? Also anyway interested in coming along? LOL

Well yeah thought I'd just try and ask here first though. I mean people who love their Integras are sure to know more about the specific about the cars than your average inspector.

They're a solid and reliable car so I think you should be right with just checking the usual stuff, but be thorough. Good luck yo

Yeah well went for the initial drive today and it seemed fine. All the electrics work... engine feels smooth... Check the underside and everything seems to be in order. No signs of wrecker parts marked with those fluro texters...

Rear trailing arm bushings, cam end seal, brake master cylinder / clutch cylinders.

That's about all that really goes wrong. Very slow, but plenty for a daily.

rear tail light gasket tends to fail and leaks water into the boot lols. That's just one of the many x]

Thanks for this man... very helpful... even though I bought the car... all seem to be fine...

Yeah my Integra has moisture in the rear lights? Could this be caused by the same thing?

How much are these turbo conversions I keep hearing about?

A lot. If you want more power do Ls/vtec because apparently they are very satisfying. I'm thinking of doing something like that but I don't know if there is anyone in Canberra who has any major experience with engine conversions for Integra's.
