So I finally got rid of my old beast and picked up my 1999 Acura Integra SE 2 door Coupe yesterday. 186,000 km on it and I got it for under 5000 before taxes etc. Already I'm loving it. Now that I have a much nicer car (compared to my previous cars - yes they have been crap)I have some plans to add some stuff to it.
Mainly:
1) Remote Keyless Entry/Remote start
2) Double Din Video Deck
3) Speaker Upgrade/Amp
4) Possible Upholstry Redo (front).
5) Possible rims/tire upgrade
Now I just got the car yesterday, but I've already started to come across some things that has me scratching my head. I've taken up my owners manual but so far it doesn't answer my questions from what I'm experiencing with the car. Also, not being TOTALLy sure about which model I have doesn't help. The car has an SE decal on the back but when I check my VIN, carfax states the car is an RS/LE.....:uhh:
First thing I'll be looking for is to get the remote entry/start set up. However, the install and gear will cost much more if the car currently does not have power locks. So this has given me a few questions about my locks.
Mainly - When I try to lock or unlock my doors from the interior, I cannot flip the lock switch. If I push it to lock it or unlock it, it will simply go back to what it was. In order to change this I have to actually pull the interior door release while I push the lock to change it. The manual tells me just to switch it. But it simply won't switch without pulling the door handle. Now, because there are no power lock switches, its my belief that I don't have power locks set up at all and I will have to pay more to get this feature. Would that be correct? Also, is there any other way to lock and unlock the doors aside from holding the doorhandle at the same time? Kind of annoying to have to explain that to passengers.
Thanks in advance if anyone has answers for me. If I end up figuring out stuff on my own (Hopefully) I'll update here and move on once I get the installs etc complete and then move on to the next plan. Course, this won't all be super quick since I do need to make the money first to pay for the new stuff.
Cheers! :wavey:
