84-90k is really low, I seen alot of teg that around 125k and up even for a 01, things that goes wrong well here a link to team-integra for common problems

Forum Common Topics - Team Integra

Here some problems mine has/had, water in trunk, and head light both you can fix on your own, sunroof rattle, don't use it, if you can't stand the rattle, power antenna it gets stuck. that all I could think of.

As for mods, that the good thing with a teg, "some" parts off a Honda civic would fit as well, depending on the year, there are tons of parts you can buy not on only performances parts, but body parts, like body kit, lip kit, etc, as well as interior parts.

You could find used parts online like eBay, craigslist, and so on, unlike some cars you can't really find used parts like headlight taillights, you'll have to buy them brand new.

The bad thing is that thieves loves the Integra as well, so the first thing I would do is get a alarm, do a fuel cut off, before you spend the money on any performance mods.

Good luck, and

For that year, thats below standard industry of mileage, a 7 year old car usually has around 105k. These engines go well over 200k if properly cared for.

yup.... find one with hardly any modifications..... putting your own mods on is half the fun...... Plus you don't know if he/she did it the correct way.

I wish we could find tegs with low mileages, like that around the bay area, the lowest I found for 01 is 125k.

whats up dude,
welcome to the teg lifestyle if thats the path you choose, glad to see your interest...i tell you what just by reading some of these post you sure can find some decent tegs...hence the miles hence the price... lower miles will cost your wallet, i can def say that much....i see you have found a GSR for 5500 , sounds inticing to me, if its not frankenstiened by a rookie... id check that out... but yes, these cars are like legos, easy, fun, and can be changed fast... prefebly i prefer the older models ..90-93... 94-and up are good too...

the word for today is stock for you..
thats what you want man..if you have ne kind a wrench smarts... plus cars are easier to fix/diag if you did the original work..ya dig...


GL>..

find a keeper, for our sake...
