Its a SAD SAD day.......

With a lot of thinking I decided to get rid of my 6. As hard as this may seem and be, I had a lot of legitimate reasons. The car was a 93 mx LS v6, with black tail lights, and an aftermarket spoiler. The car looked like new, but the engine, omg.

Anywayz it waas a huge head turner, and it also improved my sex life,,ehehhehee...Sad but TRUE

Well this is why i decided to sell the car..

"When i got it, i went to certify it so it didnt pass the test, where i needed to buy a catalytic converter for 300$ and then it passed.
In about 2 days, the car wouldnt start. The battery was empty, so again bought a battery for 90$, and everything worked fine. Than in about a week the check engine light turns on. And starts doing it periodically turning on and off. That pisses me off, but whatever my friend told me, that its only the bs computer messed up that he drove his car with his engine light on for 2 years. Than in about a week the tranny breaks down. So we go to the mechanic and he says the transmission went out. So i had to get that fixed. I buy an used tranny for 600$ and pay $850 to the mechanic to put it in. So the car works fine. Than my air intake freezes and the plastic breaks, had to get an air intake part which costed me 50$. Than in about a week again that Emergency brake gets stuck to the back tires somehow, so to have that fixed i payed 200$ to the mechanic. Than the next day, car starts stalling when in drive."

All in all I spent over $2000 on it, while I payed it $4000.

Now im gonna look for a GSR, 98 - 2000, for a reasonable price.
What you guys think of Integras, will I get my moneys worth.

I know the GSR could never replace the looks of the 6, but atleast i hope it will be more secure as far as the engine and tranny.
