Well if I cant make it run again I might have to do that. LoL!

I will do! I already ordered a ECU. So I will hopefully have it running again. I have eliminated all other systems except the ECU. So as long as the computer from eBay works I should be up and running again in a few days.

Woo!! I found an 1992 Integra GS-R California Emission ECU. I was reading that possibly less than 800 cars were ever equipped with that computer. So I have an P61-L00 that is fully tested and working on its way to me.

Since this page has no photos. I might as well add some. Here are the photos of yesterdays work before the car broke.

We totally disassembled the AC system and flushed and cleaned all the lines, flushed the condenser, evaporator, replaced all the o-rings, replaced the compressor seal (was leaking badly), replaced the dryer, added new oil, evac'ed the system down to 28 pounds, then charged the system back up the correct level with R134a. We had the vents blowing 32 degrees when it was 88 degrees outside.

the teal look sick..nice find.

Thanks! I have been getting mixed reviews on the Aztec Green GS-R. Some people really like it, and other dont. My friend calls it the Little Mermaid car. LoL. I personally like it, its very period correct.

Very fresh! Had a buddy that traded a clean ef si for one. Turned out it was stolen and had a lien on it. He never got the title and ended up selling it!!!!! Saw it last year at Honda tech in Seattle lol.

Is that an F355?

Clean Integra next to a Ferrari???

DeLorean00

Yep that is a F355 in the garage. But come on guys I got a 20 year old Acura here, lets focus on that. LoL!!

Thanks for the kind words.

Well today the GS-R is RUNNING AGAIN!! It turns out the ECU had died. I changed that and boom it started. Runs great again!

TOO MUCH TORQUE

love the teal...its a really unique color. integra > ferrari

bnetkillzone

Wow thats pretty nice, that thing has a nice body for those miles!

bankonyourself

make sure you put layers of security on it. Hate to see the thieves get their hands on it.

outlaw_stangz

Clean car, keep it safe...

DeLorean00

Thanks for the replies!

As for security, what would you guys suggest? I dont want the car to get stolen. Currently its safe because it stays in my garage and I only drive it once in a while. But I am kinda worried about theft.

bankonyourself

security depends on how much you're willing to invest to keep it safe. A lot of people recommend kill switches, a well installed alarm with a back up battery, or GPS tracking. But it comes back to what you're willing to spend and how paranoid you are.

Most people are paranoid after it gets stolen.

DeLorean00

My concern is messing the car up with an alarm. I have seen lots of cars wiring messed up by an alarm system. I was thinking about a kill switch, or possibly one of those removable steering wheels things.

I had my Accord stolen before so I am well aware the risk we have with old Hondas and Acuras. Thats why this car sits in my garage when our 350z rots in the drive way.

Ferrari F355 Who cares thats a Rare Integra sitting there Worth alot more then the Ferrari will ever be.

DeLorean00

You know to me the Integra is more interesting. The Ferrari, is a Ferrari. Its an amazing performance machine. But not much more. You cannot really daily drive it. And it gets tons of attention anywhere you go. Where as the GS-R only gets attention from people who really know cars. And its fun to drive, cheap to maintain, rare sports car.

Sounds like you don't even appreciate that car then, which is a damn shame. One of my dream cars is a F355 Challenge or Berlinetta. I understand your love for the Integra it's a damn clean car and considered a rare find among the Honda community. But you sir have a machine that way beyond that. The mechanics alone on the Ferrari are far more interesting then the entire car of an Integra.

To each their own though. If you have a page elsewhere with more info/pics of the Ferrari I'd love to see it. I don't know why but I love the 348/F355 cars a lot and they are actually decently affordable. But I'll be honest I'm buying my Supra before I get any Ferrari!

94preludeguy

Also just out of curiosity, what was your daily driver prior to picking up the GSR?

Edit: Also loving the OEM wheels. I had a set of GSRs like that for 3 years that went on three different cars before I finally sold them with a car. However I think a set of LS meshies or GSR blades from a 94-01 would look pretty slick on there.

I'm down for pics of the ferarri.

DeLorean00

I completely agree with you. However its not that I dont appreciate it, its that I have fallen out of love with it. I have owned the car since 2005 and it was a huge purchase and I had to give up almost everything in my life to buy myself a car that only goes down in value. It was fun and I really had some great times in it, but at this point I almost regret the choice in buying it. So I am in the process of selling it, the next owner will hopefully have the love for it that I use to have.

Another reason I don't talk much about it, is I don't want to sound like I am bragging. Lots of people can get strange or jealous acting over this car. And I don't want people to react that way. Pretty much anyone can buy a car like this if you want to be foolish with your money like I was. Haha. It was a big financed toy.

Here are some photos,
