manual

I have a essentially new (unwrapped but clean and unused) '98 Integra service manual. It's the grey one and approx 2 1/2 inches thick. I'd like to sell it; what's it worth?
Thanks

Re: worth

Oh well. Was hoping for more response.
Got the insurance co. to up the payout by $5K, so remember it's worth going after them when you don't agree with a payout price.

worth

OK; it's been quite some time since I've been on this site to any degree. I still recognize some of the names; don't recognize others. Maybe you can help. I am the original owner of a unmodified '98 ITR; great condition, 120K miles; my beloved fun daily driver. Had a real bad accident a few days ago...

E30 is much different from a E36; it's much more purposeful and racing-oriented. The later M3's though excellent, were built for more 'mass appeal' than the E30. I've thought of the E30/ITR comparisons myself, as I've always fancied the E30 and still check them out when they become available. The sp...

I've owned my ITR since new '98, and for the past 3 years or so I've gotten the urge several times to own an S2000. They're cool looking, make great numbers, and have that Honda quality. Then I'll drive one and realize I just can't pull the trigger to buy one. It's just a bit too snug - I'm talking ...

I agree with nsxtasy; the car was fabulous out of the box. I bought mine new and have just changed tires (of course) and put a K&N air filter on - mods mean compromise, in my opinion. No matter how fast, loud or tight a car handles, you get used to it, and with that familiarity, you could feel y...

Rob,
Got me intrigued now. Your last comment, 'unless you want to spend a decent amt of $ to do all the proper upgrades and changes'........if you don't mind, - and I know this is your opinion - considering what I've written already, what would be your suggestion for the system upgrade?
Thanks

OK, thought I'd keep you utd - I know you're on the edge of your seats(!!). Acura mechanic, seemingly a very bright guy - put another oem alternator on it, since the sound went away upon removal of alt. belt. The sound remains; takes a few moments before returning (pressure buildup?) and no obvious ...

Hmmm, still a problem. Alternator (OEM) replaced, still the whistle sound while in idle, going away even with the slightest increase of rpm. Vacuum checked, no leaks.

Thanks for any suggestions. The car's pretty much stock (everything except a K&N air filter), so hopefully it's the belt tension. Will keep you utd

Underhood sound

Hello. I have a little problem with my '98 R and would like to ask for advise. Recently got the 90K service ie timing belt (which by the way looked so good the mechanic could not believe was original, - go Honda), etc. A week or so later I began hearing a high pitched whistle/tone under the hood whi...

I'd talk to a lawyer about it; see what recourse you have. They shouldn't have driven the thing at all, esp with a problem with the motor.

You shift when the seat of your pants and your ears (and brain) tell you to. Honestly, I rarely look at my tach unless I'm really getting on it, getting past 7K or so.
