Hey.
I was considering buying a integra in a few months when i get my license, but the combination of $$ from my job and seeing too much rice on the road has put me in a new price range and mindset.
Anyway. I think the Cobra's from 96 have some great performance numbers and look HOT. Right now I have about $9k to drop on grabbin one, maybe $11k depending on what happens to my job during the school year.
My question is what type of problems can i expect from a cobra with 80k-100k miles (assuming thats what 9 g's will buy me), and is it going to become a money pit? I am realllly concerned with reliability caus i will be driving this everyday. Also, i'm probly goin for a rebuild on the motor, strokin it up a bit. do cobras respoond wel to that?
Thanks!!

Plan on tranny problems. Otherwise good car. Factory block and crank are stout, you can make some real power with that car.
