I have a problem with my car too. I need to turn it in on November. My problem is should I lease another Honda ? LOL

lease a subaru. wrx, sti, or forester 2.5xt are all nice.

You can't go by the reputation of any of the brands anymore, every models problems are different.

The best thing to do before buying a car like that is look into its score in consumer reports, that usually gives you a good idea of what your getting into.

I remember reading about that BMV too, the thing had all black dots for that particual years reliability.

if you want a reliable car at a reasonable price, get a subaru.

Subarus are ugly cars.

Subarus are ugly cars.

oh and i forgot you are leasing so you wont need a car that will last you 15+ years.

The brand of the car has nothing to do with how long it lasts. It's how you drive and how you take care of it. That establishes the durability of your vehicle.

Sounds like a good buy, but I would def try to get the chip checked because it sounds like he did a complete engine + chip swap. Then to maximize the RPM switched out a GSR dash with the LS which is what most people do when they swap the engine out. My biggest concern with the chip/ engine swap is exactly future motor issues down the road. I dunno if this is your first Acura/Honda, but they are very feeble cars when it comes to modding. Easy to mod, but shitty because some people mod the Honda's where they just implode. In HS through my 2 year in college I was in a Honda/Acura car club where we saw alot of issues coming from used modded cars. The engine/chip swap was a huge issue in future engine problems and it drove us crazy sometimes that we'd have to do complete engine swaps again.

If you want to check the engine the GSR engine is a DOHC VTEC where as the LS is a standard DOHC. The GSR has dual intake, but the LS engine doesn't. Keep in mind the fastest engine is the Type-R which I doubt you have, the GSR is the slowest engine I believe of the VTECs now.

He should swap an h22 or k20 in it.

Edit: Fastest car I've been in. Doing 140 in a 30mph street in Puerto Rico.
This is my cousins Supra Turbo. Wish I had focused on the speedometer.

I've been 161 in a 1992 Nissan 300zx Twin Turbo. Not my car BTW.

If you want a Japanese car then get a Nissan, Mazda, Honda, or Subaru IMO.

Integra and the RSX are virtually the same which is now overtaken by the Si. Most Honda parts are interchangeable. A specialist will just do the same shit the dealers do by interchanging other Honda parts. A specialist most of the time will have to call for the parts and the dealer might have the part in house already. Problem is the dealer will charge you more than the specialist.

In Japan the rsx was the Honda Integra.

In Japan, Acura isn't even a marketable car until later this year
