This was basically my first car. '86 RS Manual 5-Door. I learned stick on it - and it revved like the day it was built until 265,000 miles. I was smitten, and then went on to own nearly every generation of Integra. I've been considering selling my '16 Audi S6 and buying a K-Series NA project, and this video may have just become the catalyst for that to happen. I'm so, so happy you found this car.

My father purchased a 1987 2-door one of these after I was born to replace his CRX Si. It was our family car for 10 years. He auto-crossed it, we went on road trips in it, and he used to let me row through the gear from the passenger seat as soon as I was old enough to sit up front. The first car I bought myself was a Gen3 LS, and I remember thinking how thrilled he would have been to have driven it with me if he hadn't passed the year earlier. I'd love to get my hands on one of these and drive the pants off of it :-)

This is a nostalgia trip! My mum owned an '87 Integra like this, but it was Honda badged (Acura weren't really a thing in the UK). Key differences though, ours was min spec - windy windows, no AC, dark blue interior, black bumpers on a white body. It was reliable, however rust was already claiming it by the time we got it, with evidence of cheap body repair and mismatched rattle can paint on the hatch lid. The pop-up headlights were wicked cool though.

Fucking trunk leaked and filled the interior with water one time whole thing reeked of mildew and exhaust fumes (from the exhaust dumping under the cabin). I wish i hadnt donated it but it got to the point where i couldnt keep it registered. The body was fucked, checked the VIN a few months after, someone bought it @ $200 and i guarantee they ripped the B18 and trans put and dropped it into something else.

I just bought a new Integra because it was available and reasonably priced. If it had more knee room in the drivers seat (which is a common problem in modern cars) it would be a perfect economical car. I have driven many old ones and had a 91 legend and have heard that they were all just dressed up civics and Accords. Just ask anybody who worked on them. They were not. The Integras were quite different and the Legends share practically no parts and were sold in several other markets as the Honda Legend so it was not a US only model as usually wrongfully said. They were all great cars.

The differences in HP was typical Honda of the 80s. The US cars got the 113hp motor and the 130hp "ZC" motor Japan and Europe got. Used to see a lot of the ZC JDM marked motors imported 20+ years back. I think the difference was the cam profile between the d16a1 and ZC marked DOHC motors.

If I recall, 133 for the DOHC version and 113BHP for the SOHC version. US versions may differ with 113 and 130 being DOHC options but differing emission regs. Over in the UK, the Rover/Honda collaboration shared these units. The DOHC 16 valve was more popular in the Hondas, though Rover did get it in the 216 and 416GTi models. It's an absolute screamer of an engine in DOHC form and a lot of fun to use. However, oddly for a Honda engine, they do suffer from Head Gasket Failure. The SOHC version wasn't bad, but.....having driven both extensively, that DOHC was an absolute peach. Mated to the PG1 5 speed, it's a dream combo for a small FWD car from the late 80s.

I like hearing of the stories of the individual cars and hearing Brians view on just owning a car that you love and care for, regardless of whether it's objectively the most sensible choice or best value or what not. I think it's worthy of respect when somebody cares for and keeps a car in good shape no matter how insignificant that car may be, even if it's just moms old base model 1st gen Dodge Caravan. We've had this Volvo 850 R in my family for 19 years at this point, and i'm 22 now, so it spans back to some of my first memories and takes part in some of my best memories with my dad. I honestly can't think of anything that could replace the feeling that it gives me. Not even another identical car. It has been garagekept and currently sits in rust free condition at almost exactly 90000 miles, so it is to me, all things combined, a time capsule.

Two Danish guys drove it from California (after passing CARB emissions) up to Canada, and then across North America. They had to sell it at their last stop on the east coast, although if they could, I'm sure they would have taken it home. People would smile at it was parked or as it drove by. It was just a car that you loved to drive and people loved to see. What a novel ideal - cars that are charming to both car bros and non-enthusiasts.

This was the car i drove my first two years of "Independent living" after I moved out of my parents house at 18. It was an '88 RS in red with a 5 speed and roughly 100k miles on it. I blew the clutch thinking it was fast and had to do my first clutch job on it in a 100 year old garage with no lights/power and a gravel floor. I few months later I took it on a road trip and lost the 2nd gear synchro about 300 miles from home, then I lost the 4th gear synchro on the trip back home. Lol. I drove that car for at least another year in that condition because I was a poor transient (actually lived in that car for about a month). Then my grandmother gave me her (8 year old at the time) Cadillac Deville and I sold the Integra for $400. I cut my building and racing teeth on 80's/90's Hondas, and they were the foundation of my lifelong car obsession. I bought the Acura because my CRX had to be scrapped (broke the welds on the integrated rear strut mount when I jumped the car), and at the time I thought the Integra was a huge downgrade because it wasn't the prettiest body style back then. I'm sure feeling nostalgic about it now. Thanks RCR.

I drove my '87 Integra LS 5 speed right out of the showroom. What a great little car, smooth everything and just so amazing for 1987 for the price: DOHC, 16 valves, fuel injection and 4 wheel disc brakes. Other than the anemic air conditioning, it did everything well.

I'm the current owner of a 88 Integra LS Coupe 5MT. Had an '87 RS Sedan 4AT as well until earlier this year. They drive fine with the AT, but the fun factor with the MT is off the charts in comparison. Just an incredibly balanced car that loves to rev. I commend Mr. Regular and his comments that start at 13:00. He is so right that Honda did not build these to last. Yet, somehow, some have survived anyway.

Mr regular, when are you going to review an Alfa Romeo spider! Would love to hear you talk about how a film has the ability to boost sales outside of a Delorean context.

For the young'uns it may be hard to realise just how much better honda/toyota was making cars than almost anyone else in this time frame. Today, the gaps are a lot closer across the industry but in the 80s/early 90s it wasn't even close. Sort of like GM in the 50s

I had a Chevy Nova (79), then Olds Omega (82), then a Toyota Celica (86). All were bought used, but not too old or abused. The Celica surprised me. I had just assumed that wiggling the hood to close it was a normal car thing. Along with the doors that closed the first try, lack of squeaks and other noises. Also, nothing leaked, rain stayed out other fluids stayed in.

If people held onto their cars forever, they would see the difference in build quality that only time and abuse reveals. Nothing holds together like a Honda or Toyota. The closest thing in terms of reliability might be an agricultural diesel built in the states.

Had 2.... Tried to blow up the motor & it loved to redline (big grin)... 110 mph it settled down and enjoyed cruising at that speed. Brown color allows you to go for a year without carwashes. Muffler plugged with junk after blowing out the cat. Rust & heater couldn't keep the windows defrosted. Fun car.

LS, not LX. JUST like my father's old 1988 Acura Integra LS 5-door, except his was blue. Even 36 years later, the styling simply has NOT aged!!!!!! I would sometimes go out of the house just to stare at this car's beautiful lines. Unfortunately, it met its untimely demise in 1997 when it got T-boned at an intersection in North Reading, MA. This car replaced my/our beloved 1985 Dodge Colt Vista in 1993. I would LOVE it if you could find a 1st-generation (1984-1991) Dodge/Plymouth Colt Vista to review!!! We used to have a 1985 Dodge Colt Vista when I was growing up, & I would give ANYTHING to have another one!!!!! Ours was Glacier Blue Metallic, 2WD, & an automatic. It also had a manually-tuned AM-FM stereo radio with no cassette deck. NOT a star on the track by ANY means, but..........let's just say that Glacier Blue Metallic was definitely the appropriate color for ours, as it DEFINITELY had glacier-like acceleration!!!!! It wasn't the best handler, & with its 88-horsepower carbureted 2.0-liter 4-cylinder, it SURE as hell wasn't the fastest vehicle in the world, but it didn't NEED to be!!! It's usefulness more than made up for any track performance deficits.

"...Alright, how much you want for it." :3 If I won the S2000 (I won't, I didn't enter), I would sell it to buy this without even blinking. My first car was a gray on wet pavement gray 3rd gen Accord. I STILL miss it.
