The sporty Acura IntegraThe Acura Integra is a sporty-looking vehicle which was Acura;s cheapest and smallest model to date. Coming in both sedan and hatchback, it would soon transition to the fourth generation of DC5 from its 1886 predecessor. The first models would be available with a 1.6-liter DOHC 16-vavlve engine and was the most hyped-up feature of the car. It was known to be the sportiest compact car produced by Acura because of its large 4-wheel disc brakes and re-vamped suspension.

The next wave of Integras would then come out in 1990 with added GS-R trim level and a 1.7-liter engine and there was a third break light in the spoiler as well as sunroof, power steering and power windows. The 92’ Integra is actually the most rare one of them all due to its B17A engine and low production that makes them quite valuable.

1998 marked the arrival of the third generation. The only difference with the look of the car was the slight facelift, larger headlights, red taillights, a new rear bumper, and a sharper looking front bumper. The interior only had minor changes with a few added and revised electrical components, buttons and knobs.

The newest Integras are now popularly known as the RSX. Though its production has been discontinued, it had a promising start in the market during its release. Their target market were the young performance enthusiasts and the Honda Si was a much better option than the similar RSX. The RSX made use of MacPherson struts in the front suspension, and the double-wishbone suspension in the rear. It was also equipped with the K Series engine that made use of VTEC that gave the car a smoother performance. The 2.0-liter engine would have a flatter torque upon curves and an adjusted valve lift and valve duration.

This car doesn’t have any cheap rims either!
