Help identifying car model

89accordlxi · #1 09-14-2003, 09:05 PM

Can anybody tell me what model integra my car is. I just bought it this weekend at a used car lot. The previous owner shaved all the emblems so I don't know what trim level it is(if there is more than one for that year,that is) and no car manual came with it. It is a 1990 teg. with 5 speed, a/c, power sun-roof, two door hatch back, power adjusted side mirrors, it looks like it might have had a rear window wiper but doesn't now(or is that an optional item), that's all I can really think of at the moment.

Any help identifying this car would be great. I am a noobie when it comes to acuras so any info on this car would be appreciated.

Oh yeah, It has a b18a1 engine. so can any one tell me how much hp I can expect it to be running with CAI and full exhaust.

Here's a link to some pics www.geocities.com/tvouthilak/acura.html

Thanks,
Peace......

on my car it says on the inside of the drivers door, on a little paper identification thing

should say on the registration, but it SOUNDS like it should be the gs model.

should say on the registration or like toy said, on the frame, but it SOUNDS like it should be the gs model.

It sounds like either the gs or ls model, the wiper is an option

ok, thanks for the responses people. I looked on the driver's side door but I couldn't find any distinguishing labels. The vin# has an LS in it but I don't know if that means anything. I guess i'll have to wait till the title comes to know for sure. And I am having a car fax looked up on it so that might also tell.

Thanks again for the remarks, I'll let you all know when I do.

Peace..

Well, I just got a car fax on the car. She has a clean record! It says it is an LS. The funny part is that it says that a standard feature for the LS is power windows, but my car doesn't have power windows. Should an LS have power windows or is the report wrong???

I guess I should have known it wasn't a GS because don't GS models have anti-lock brakes, and mine doesn't.

Peace..

there are alot of differences like the whole ABS issue. So the car is for sure an LS?

Well, that's just the thing, I think the previous owner might have removed the power windows and installed manual roll down windows because of the weight. he also completely removed the A/C and Cruise control systems as well as rear window wiper and winshield fluid tank and pump. He must have really wanted to lighten the car. But I don't mind. This car is going to be my zip around car so the weight reduction is nice....Atleast the power sun roof is still intact. hmmmm...I wonder how much that would weigh.....(Just joking) hehe

Sounds like an or gs...if it is a B18A =130@6000/121@5000 cause the LS is b18b

90CRXZCSi · #12 09-19-2003, 08:25 PM

the LS in that year (90-93) is still a B18A. It didnt switch to a B18B until 94.
