Default DA time machine

Bought a brand used car last night 1991 acura integra two door gs and everything works on it, i just need to replace the clutch, that thing is fully gone. Ohh and the ac doesnt blow cold, but nothing a little refrigerant cant fix. On cosmetic damage really is two identical dents on either side of the rear fender area.

The engine has 200 something miles but runs like a champ, also the head and motor over all look pretty clean. Going to check out the timing belt this weakend and see if that been replaced and same time check out the internals of the head. The interior is full white leather and i can only say "**** was luxury in 91".

Keh heres where the real thing is, i got the car for a whooping 640 dollars he wanted 900 but that was not happening. Im guarantee going to do the clutch asap hopefully this weekend. But would you guys flip the car for more cash or is this thing worth building.

Im just looking for ideas of what i could do with it. Things that concern me is this is cable clutch trans and i want a b16 trans and those are harder to come by, cuz i dont want to be stuck with a shitty ls trans with long gears, also this is obd0 so im thinking lsvtec is a bit more tricky than of a obd1 or obd2

Here the panty dropper

You should sell that to someone that isn't going to destroy it and buy a shitty one to ruin.

Get new hood badge.

Remove rear wheel arch protectors if not already done.

Replace rims, or at least find a shop that can balance them without putting the weights on the outside.

As for other "up grades" kind of depends on what you want to use the car for. 94

i plan on taking it to the junk yard when i get the clutch replaced and getting a new emblem and take some other stuff too.

idk i actually like the stock rims on them, but yes i am not fond of the weights on the outside looks old. but the rims looks pretty nice that original look. but i bet blades would look even better.

cant wait to compound and buff the paint thou and pop out those dents. Car is gonna look real good. pretty stocked i got the car, its in good shape just need some tlc and she will shine like a diamond.

This is nice. Body gaps are perfect, so the thing hasn't been crashed. Bet the paint is all-original.

Those ignition wires are OE Sumitomo. What's the year printed on them?

Oh and to therealteggr the spark plug wires are dated to 1990 lol. Still working good thru the 23 years its been there.

But i remember reading an article on spark plug wires performance and they said the original oem honda wires were better than any other brand.
