Hello G2IC, glad the site is up and running again. I’m new to the forum, but not to Integra’s or Honda’s, or forums, it’s quite odd posting on a forum, I haven’t in over 10 years!
I currently own a 1993 Honda Integra LS, manual, in horizon grey, which I bought in December 2021 for $1000, but I’ve had to spend 10x that on it, but I’m fine with it, as it’s a car for life. Bought the car with around 260k on the clock, no papers, no history, also no oil in the engine!
I live in Victoria, Australia, and there doens’t seem to be many of these left now over here. I see more at wreckers than for sale/on the road. I’m looking for some parts too, and a decent Honda tuner in Melbourne if anyone can help me out.
I’ve not driven it as much as I’d of liked to, as I’ve had dramas and still on-going ones with people who’ve worked on it. A mechanic had it for 7wks one time when I needed a new brake booster fitted, and ended up fitting an MC too and not telling anyone then charging me. Then 6 days after I got it back someone reversed into me, twice, at a servo while filling up. I had the windows tinted, and he’s done a piss poor job and also screwed my rear demister, so I’m currently taking him to a tribunal. I had a new windscreen fitted and some rust sorted, the rusts’ come back, so it’s now with them again being sorted. Seem to have endless problems with finding engine mounts that fit, wasted money on them, so I’ll just wait until I find a new engine and get Hasport/Innovative ones.
I’ve just had a few things done at the mechanics, and it’s now all good, but, I’ve realised my AC pulley bearing in buggered, and my sunroof is rusty. So they’re next to fix.

- Aeriel has been removed (because I popped the motor
) - And I’ve got a nice SR2 Recaro to fit in as soon as I can.
Ideally I want to get a B16B for it, but that’s not going to be easy to find, and expensive. B16A or B18C would be good too, but again, not easy to find, and expensive. So I may just get a B20Z out of a CR-V, for the extra 20-30hp/lbft. As much as I love VTEC, I’m not paying $4000 for a B16A.
I don’t have many photos of the car, but here’s one from the weekend.
