Hello everyone! The old driver of the car inspector has met with everyone again, I am a bar with the name of the bar dealer of the three bars, once engaged in accident car maintenance for many years, as well as a variety of strange on-site rescue, and now transferred to a second-hand car inspector, in order to eliminate the problem of the source of the car for the majority of users.
Guys, I'm so excited! Three bars I was still considering whether to experience the type of Hiromoto just listed in the previous paragraph, but today I invited the true god to it, and the fans can find such a niche car in the sky, I could never have imagined. If the ninth generation EVO is a man's dream, and the eighth generation subaru STI is a man's love, then this three-door version of the acura integralgra is a water magic moon, a mirage, because where do you find this car?
Speaking of Hiromoto's name of the true god integra, it is really a long face for the type, why do you say so? Because you know in the Honda Museum, integra is also standing side by side with the NSX. After rushing to the scene, the verification procedures learned that this is an Acura Integral that was licensed in January 1994, showing a mileage of 230,000 kilometers, the classic sports car appearance, simple but not losing style, this car because of the lack of nameplate, lack of information, comprehensive judgment of the specific model is most likely to be 95 GS-R Coupe.
This car only looks at the appearance of the three bars I especially like, if the car is in good condition, maybe the three bars I will consider buying it! However, it is not the work of a gentleman to grab people's love, or to do my own testing work in a down-to-earth manner. First of all, the new car price of this car in North America is 15700 to 21780 US dollars (if you enter the domestic visual estimate of 300,000), and now the used car market in the same year is 6000 to 10000 US dollars! This is already quite a preservation of value.
But to get the domestic is not easy to say, such as the big guy who entrusted this test, the seller has introduced him to the car condition, the three bars I came just to review it again, but also to calculate a bargaining reason, it is said that because the offer is too high, the specific number is not convenient to disclose, anyway, you think high, it is completely in the buying and selling of the kind of feeling of collectibles, people are stunned.
Without further ado, let's start testing, the front bar is replaced, painted, this situation is normal, you have to know that this is an old car that was licensed in 94 years.
The water tank frame is deformed, cut, welded, and replaced by an ordinary used car here, and the buyer has gone without looking back.
The left front longitudinal beam is also clearly cut, welded and repaired. And the cabin part of this car is all sprayed with armor, and the armor surface is sprayed with a layer of paint, and the three bars guess that the purpose of this is two reasons, the first is shock absorption and noise reduction, and the second is the anti-rust shading welding point and knife edge.
The car's left front wheel and shock absorber seat have obvious knife edges and welding marks, and although the armor is sprayed, it cannot be completely covered. You think this is the end? It's just an appetizer.
The paint on the left front fender beam does not feel completely dry, and it can be seen that there are obvious weld repairs and obvious deformations.
As for the defects and repairs of the paint surface and the screw disassembly, it cannot be evaluated by common sense, and it is emphasized again that this car is 94 years old, and the source of the car cannot be found in the second-hand car market.
Although the value of the type is very outrageous, the ABC column and other structural positions have not escaped the fate of damage repair, but the good paint surface is still similar, and the next cover of this car is not much described, anyway, all have putty repair, scraping down at least have to install a basin.
Since so many places of paint have been damaged and repaired, can the structural position be safe and sound? Obviously not, you can imagine that the place where the knife can be cut basically has a knife edge, too miserable.
Including the left side of the trunk tail light frame position is also obvious cut repair and deformation, why this car was not pulled to scrap that year, it is worth pondering. Detected that everything that can be cut here has been cut, and those that cannot be cut have deformations, what else is next?
Come, let the master explain what a surprise is. This engine is the biggest surprise of the whole car, ah, red head, taste enough, double authentic. 1.8 liter 16 valve in-line four-cylinder, with VTEC, 7600 rpm / 170 hp, 8100 rpm off the oil, I directly whimpered to take off, if the car is not so bad, it is simply a sharp weapon to get off the track.
Back to the inspection, the engine and transmission pawls are disassembled and installed.
The crankshaft screws have obviously been disassembled and assembled more than once.
The intake and exhaust manifolds have been disassembled, and it can basically be judged that there is a disintegration repair, but at present there seems to be no obvious leakage point, and it takes a while on the road to test how the master's craftsmanship is.
It may be that it is not fully prepared, the compressor is currently in a state of deactivation, the condenser does not know which courier company is still in the hands, another saying is that the water tank can better dissipate heat.
We then checked the interior, worthy of the former track killer, which removed a lot of things, it may be for weight loss, it may be taken to renovate, or the interior parts bought overseas are still on the road, of course, it is not excluded that the former owner is half prepared to feel too much meat pain, otherwise why sell it.
The gear handle is missing, it may still be waiting for accessories, but it is not so bad, buy one on the Internet, as long as the aperture is almost to install it, looking at the bare metal stick, my ass does not know why there is some faint pain.
The bottom of the dashboard is also unobstructed, there is no sediment on the harness, and it looks a bit like dismantling parts, without the degree of aging from 94 to the present.
The seat belt was not attached, the three bars I accidentally touched, just dangling there, a little obsessive-compulsive I want to find a screw on the spot to screw it.
Overall testing, the interior is not suspected of water soaking, of course, if it is a comprehensive and thorough repair, there is no evidence of water soaking. At present, this integra is still in a semi-finished state and needs to continue to invest in the next owner.
Finally, let's take a look at the chassis, which is also one of the few highlights of this car.
The whole car suspension does not need me to say more, look at this color to know that it is disassembled and replaced.
The engine and transmission can be seen from below, and traces of leakage points and disintegration repairs can be found.
The bottom liner and the body floor are heavily deformed.
The left and right front stringers can be more clearly observed from below.
The rear stringer can also be seen very clearly, although there is no cutting repair, but there is obvious deformation.
This car detected here is basically over, three bars I did not care to drink a sip, because the detection process is a problem after a problem, the details of the small problems need not to say more, to I talk about the whole, may have to talk about three days and three nights, just talk about the big problem, four beams and six columns have different degrees of cutting, welding, deformation; the engine has disintegration maintenance and modification; interior war damage semi-finished products, the chassis has a number of obvious deformation and leakage points.
From a practical point of view, this car is two words: garbage. But in terms of collection and scarcity, it is priceless for people who like cars, especially those who like Japanese performance cars. The priceless treasure may be exaggerated, but at least it is willing to pay a high price to buy, according to the North American used car market (because there is no domestic market), this 1994 Acura integralgra offer is at least more than 200,000, after all, the preparation will cost a lot of money and the car condition is also destined to be only a collection, and the chance of opening the road is infinitely close to zero.
However, the three bars still have a question to ask you, sports cars, modified cars three bars have been inspected a lot, why is this car so much cutting? Is it just a simple impact? I believe that the big guy who started playing with cars in the 90s should know more insider knowledge than Three Bars. Although I also understand but I can not say, I can only slightly hint, the whole car glass is still the original factory, only the traces of late rubber.
Well, today's vehicle sharing is over here. Write badly because the culture is too small, everyone leaves more comments to criticize and correct, I am the second-hand car inspection technician of the car inspector, if you have the favorite vehicle that needs to be tested or car-related problems, maybe we can solve the problem for you, the car inspector is willing to be your friend who knows the most about cars!
