Hey, I recently boiught a 1997 honda integra gsi coupe. To get a roadworthy certificate i had to spend a fortune on all new front and rear brakes plus new rear brush bars. the gearbox is a bit rough in 1st 2nd and third and the mechanic said it is because of bearings and said that i would need to get a new or reconditioned gearbox. he also said that it would need new shockies in the next 6 months and the front suspension squeeks alot. It is also using a ridiculous amount of fuel.. only getting about 300kms to a tank.
Its a shame that my car is in such bad shape but i do want to get it running well. as u can probably tell im far from an expert however am very interested in how i can get it running well without having to pay a fortune to mechanics who rip u off anyway. i am willing to put money into the car but was just wondering if anyone had any advice on what path i should take to get the best performance for the lowest price. thanks very much hopefully hear back soon.
