1997 Integra GSR |
Went with a friend to check our the GSR.
First thing we noticed is that the body has been repainted. A bunch of spots have over spray.
Rear quarters are starting to rust. Driver side lower front, the metal is very soft due to rust. Since it wasn't my car, I didn't poke at it to see how deep the rust went.
Right rear had a pretty big dent.
Both front fenders were dented and they tried to push it out.
Missing trim pieces here and there.
Interior, the corner piece that covers the side mirror was loose.
Door inserts were bubbled on both doors.
Front bumper has a pretty nasty gash on it. Big dent on the hood.
Some rust in the usual sports under the car and on the rear toe hook.
Mechanics, he home spray bombed the valve cover read.
Has a coolant leak on the engine side, upper hose. Looks like it may have been leaking for a while as you see dried coolant under the hood.
2 core aluminum radiator.
8000K hids in the stock projectors.
Cat back exhaust, looks like a replica of a greddy exhanst.
Silver coloured shocks with yellow springs. Guessing KYB GR2 shocks with cheapo lowering springs.
Dead interstate battery
Owner said the car had a misfire but when we got there, the car wouldn't start. It'll turn over not signs of it wanting to fire. Could be a bad Dizzy or leaking injector. When we got there, the engine was still warm so it was running before we arrived.
Owner was dead set on $1500 but the car needs to be towed.
Normal status according to ICBC.
If it was earlier in the day and I had my tools on my, I would have pulled the dizzy from my car and tried to restart that guy's car.
If anyone is interested in it, definitely bring some tools. Check for spark and fuel. If it is a simple fix, it's not too bad of a buy. If you need to drop in a new motor, then I say walk away.
