#57 of 98 To buy or not to buy... by acurate02 Aug 15, 2007 (8:45 am)
Hello all,   I have always liked my friends GSR and a guy I work with has one he is selling. A 2000 GS-R for 5500. The only issue I have is that the car has 138k miles on it. I know the car is worth the money, but I am kind of leary about the miles. Can anyone help me with how long the VTEC engines last mileage-wise and what expenses I might take on given the cars age and miles??? Thanks in advance for any advice you all can give.

I have asked several owners and mechanics how long the engines in particular and the cars in general last and was told about 200,000 miles. At present I have a 98 Integra LS (not a VTEC engine) that within the next few weeks will have 300K miles; therefore if my experience is any indication, you should be able to drive an additional 50-75K miles on the one you are considering   As for the expenses that may occur (and this is not all-inclusive) those that relate to the engine and related components include the radiator (had to replace mine 2x), the timing belt (normal upkeep), and the emission control devices. Other expenses may include the wheel bearings ( I will need those shortly), power window mechanisms and the A/C system. Replies to this message: whobodym (Dec 01, 2008 6:32 am)
#60 of 98 Question about heating problem by kxiong87 Jul 16, 2008 (3:06 pm)
I currently own a 91 Acura Integra LS. I've been having overheating problems. So some people suggest I change the thermostat so I did and the problem still occurs. My radiator is still in an ok condition. I tested driving my car out to work and drove back home, my heating gauge started to climb pass normal heat which would be a little less than 50% of the gauge. I turned on the heat drove back home and realize there was some antifreeze dripping below my driver side tire. Anyone have any suggestion or tips etc... that I can deal with this problem?

Replying to: kxiong87 (Jul 16, 2008 3:06 pm) Check all your hoses for cracks and leaks. Best thing to do is pressure test it, you may have a small crack in the radiator, but it could be a head gasket too. numerous possibilities. Have you changed your timing belt and water pump?   Hope it helps, good luck   -addtothehustle link title Replies to this message: brettl (Oct 18, 2008 1:11 pm)
#64 of 98 Am I getting screwed?? by addtothehustle Jul 21, 2008 (4:52 pm)
I went to a mechanic regarding a noise in my front right tire. I thought it was the brakes but the mechanic says it can be any wheel bearing, all should be changed as well as a recommendation for replacing shocks. I know i don't need new shocks because i have a full tein suspension i got less than a year ago.. I need help, I can't afford to get screwed.   thanks   -addtothehustle www.ineedaradiator.com Replies to this message: tpark (Jul 22, 2008 8:56 am)

Replying to: addtothehustle (Jul 21, 2008 4:52 pm) I recently replaced my CV Halfshaft on the passenger side, which is the housing for the wheel bearing, and that cost me about $240. I have a 1990 Integra LS. That should be all that needs to be done in regards to the noise, which should sound like a popping or grinding. You are looking at around $250 to $300 dollars depending on where you go
