Default DA9 that I found.

So I coming home from school, and there is a tow yard by my house that sells its cars after they have had them for some time. Well It was my lucky day. There was a Captiva blue 90 RS Integra sitting out there. So I went to the office to see how much they wanted for the car. They said, "$1500". So I wanted to test drive it and check it out be for I bought it. So they go to start it up and It will not start.... So I asked how much for it as is? And they said $1300. So i told them I'll be right back, that I need to got to the bank. Buy time I get back they have it started up. I was the starter. And the took the $1300 like they said they would. Well here are some pictures of my New DA9.

The car has 160k mils on it with a B20 engine, lowered, H.I.D hight beams, New seats front and back. Toyo tires with fat five that dont even have a scratch on them. and clean title. It also has a 92-93 front bumper. and thats all i have found be for i had to go to work.

Sweet *** pick up bro. IMO keep it and sell the DC. DA's are getting harder and harder to find in decent shape and you got one from what it looks like. My vote = keep it. Old school FTW.

Yeah the seats are comfy and they look nice. This Da has 170k mils on it and my DC has 250k mils on it... And the DA has a newer engine in it. Im going to look over the whole car today and see if it has any problems anywere, And if there isnt I will be keeping it and sell the DC.

Well I still have this car up on CL for sale, but I have done some work to it today.

I relocated the HIDS to under the fenders. Took off the valve cover and stripped the paint off. Removed all the cut and uncut A/C piping. Painted radiator reservoir. Painted battery holder. Sorry I don't have any pictures yet, be sides the valve cover.



I dont know if i should paint it or leave it as is. and if i paint it what would be a good color?

change those tuner lugs, more than likely they are 60 degree lug nuts and honda/acura oem wheels are not a 60 degree base wheel.. they are rounded, long story short they can throw the wheel off balance and cause lots of trouble..
