Wish i could have started with a basic older integra but my donor was an '01 GS-R w/ 37k miles...Originally Posted by blacknightteg
If you just want a car to get you from point a to b during college then you might want to pick up something a little newer with a warranty...it depends on how much work you can do on it yourself. I had 285k miles on my first integra before i swapped engines..bought it with just over 200k miles then i continued to drive it another year after the swap...
If is was me...i'd pull all the suspension off, clean up everything as good as possible and put it back on all oil/greased up with all new bushings, wheel bearings, etc. Get a good set off shocks & springs or coilover dampeners that someone has laying around and you should be good for several years. As for the engine...does it smoke, burn oil, etc.? Adjust the valves, maybe a new set of rings and hone job if it's smoking, gasket kit, OEM spark plugs & OEM spark plug wires, change the oil every 3k and call it a day.
